Chapter 225


    Everyone went wild on the tform.


    (Sell it to her? Why so?)


    (Mr. D.K, aren’t your gowns always sold through auctions? Why do you insist on selling it to

    her?]


    (And with just one billion? The final asking price of this gown would be way more than that!)


    Everyone was engaged in a heated discussion, and even Charmine was shocked by his decision. Did


    Mr. Kingston mean it when he said he would sell the gown to her? They had only met once ten years


    ago, and it was when she was still ugly…


    “That’s right, you didn’t hear it wrong,” said Mr. Kingston to the camera. “I’ve indeed made u p my mind,


    and nobody could change my decision.”


    Kelly Mn was dumbfounded. She had prepared at least ten billion for it, ready to best everyone who


    dared to bid against her. Little did she expect D.K to make up his mind right away!


    Was he looking down on her? Was he insulting her?


    She bitterly texted, (Why did you make this decision? She’s paying you 1 billion, but I’ll pay you 1.5


    million! I already said that only I can own this gown!) 2


    “My apologies,” D.K merely replied, “I prefer the otherdy.”


    What did he mean ‘preferred the otherdy’? Just because he preferred her, he decided to sell his


    gown to someone who had not even started bidding for it?


    Angered by his decision, Kelly Mn typed a reply in fury, (Mr. D.K, this is against the rules! This is an


    auction tform! As long as you’re on this tform, you’ll have to obey the auctioning rules! The


    highest bidder will be able to own the gown, so if you still insist on selling it to her, I can report you!)


    She was threatening to report him for this.


    Inside the presidential suite, Nial locked his eyes on the screen with a frown. How could a gown cause


    such a scene, and why did this make such an abrupt decision? He did not even have the chance to bid!


    What if his brother sent him to Africa if he failed to bid for the gown? 3


    He picked up his phone to call Anthony. “Bro, something’s up,” said Nial. “D.K decided to sell his gown


    to an anonymous user on the live-streaming tform, and he no longer epts further callings. Hurry


    up and find out who this user is.”


    He read out the numbers of the username,


    “Give me a minute,” came Anthony’s reply, his fingers already typing the numbers on his keyboard as


    he spoke. As different sequences of numbers appeared, his brows tightened. The final result showed


    Charmine’s phone number!


    The woman was Charmine all along?


    A thought then urred to him as he said to Nial, “Hand this over to me, I’ll do it myself.”


    With that, he hung up on Nial and clicked open his contacts page.


    The live-streaming tform was getting out of control, but Mr. Kingston still stood firm on his decision.


    “Many apologies, but I’ve already made up my mind. There’s no point trying to change my mind.”


    Kelly Mn was furious. “If so, I will report you and expose your wrongdoing! You’re the one who’s


    going against the rule, and you disrespected all of the bidders here! Be prepared to be criticized by


    everyone online!”


    Listening to Kelly’s rants, Charmine’s brows furrowed by reflex. Kelly Mn was an unreasonable


    woman, though it was indeed Mr. Kingston’s fault in the first ce. If this went public, Mr. Kingston


    would be attacked by many of Kelly Mn’s fans. He might even find himself boycotted by many!


    Mr. Kingston was already in his eighties, and he should not get involved with such a scandal at


    that age!
