” Don’t understand why she was invited.”

”

Notice what he photographed? It’s supposed to belong to his ex-girlfriend who is now dating a tech upstart in the Financial District.”

, even the last bit of the family is gone. The vase was obviously a wedding gift from the earl last time, and now it is donated as an antique. The decline is so fast, do you know what happened to their family? Is it an investment? Real estate failed?”

“When do you think he will raise the placard? Didn’t he participate in the whole process? Oh, by the way, when bidding for the snuff bottle, he raised the placard once, 60,000 pounds, and then quickly put it down, lest he win the bid, He still doesn’t know if he can come up with 60,000.” The

But it was precisely on such occasions that Renly still easily became the focus of the audience. In the countless discussions and gossip, the topic of Renly never stopped-about the Hall and his wife, they whispered and looked at each other. There have been hundreds of rounds back and forth, but because of Renly’s face, no one was so disappointed; and now that the auction is over, Renly has deservedly become the center of the topic, and even Alexander has to admit that Lanly The far-reaching influence of rites is truly terrifying.

Dave Clark immediately noticed that all eyes were on Renly. Even when talking to others, the corner of his eyes couldn’t help drifting in the direction of Renly, including Beatrice. , which made Dave feel chest tightness, as if a hammer had hit his chest.

This is not the same as what he imagined, so he spent one million pounds to buy a set of musical instruments that children play at home, and then made wedding dresses for others, even a little attention. Can’t get it?

Like a brainless fool?

damn it!

Dave slowly came back to his senses and recalled the entire auction process. That creepy feeling began to emerge, and the trembling feeling of being calculated quietly jumped up on the spine. All the hairs were standing upright, tight. Muscles were making low, criss-crossing noises, as if they might explode at any moment.

“Bang!”

There was a sudden muffled sound, but it didn’t really explode, but the thunder in his head hit the eardrum, which made Dave wake up suddenly, and all his distracted thoughts came back to his mind. The focus and the focal distance were brought together again, and then he could see Renly’s slightly worried face appearing directly in front of him, and asked inquiringly, “Dave? Are you all right?”

“Very good. I’m very Okay.” Dave really came to his senses at this time, straightening his waist invisibly, and out of the corner of his eye he could catch the sight of the audience surging towards him.

very good!

very good!

It could not be better!

Just when he was distracted, Renly appeared, and then he became the focus of the audience. His embarrassment and embarrassment were exposed in broad daylight. If Renly didn’t mean it, he wouldn’t believe it, but he still What can I do, other than show a smile and take it easy?

“Thank you very much, you made today’s auction meaningful.” Renly did not pursue Dave’s distraction, and showed his respect humbly and politely.

Dave’s eyes were slightly stiff: the meaning of buying a million pounds, of course he had to make this expenditure worthwhile, “Ha, my honor. For the children of Africa, we all hope Do your best to contribute, no? That’s what Triss wants too.”

Dave turned his head to look at Beatrice, and sure enough, he saw Beatrice’s slightly flushed cheeks, her eyes and expressions couldn’t hide her excitement, she snuggled cutely against Dai. In Husband’s arms, “I didn’t expect such a result, but we are all here for those children, so, I think, we are all working hard in our own way.”

Dave hadn’t had time to be happy, more than Atris changed her words, “Like Renly. The two auctions you’ve prepared for today are really amazing, and they make me small in an instant. I really, really, really like your guitar and sheet music, That speech was enough to impress everyone, right? Dave?”

“Of course. Sure.” Dave had to make a fist, or his teeth would fight, and that would give away his emotions.

“In this way, Dave kills two birds with one stone. Not only can he contribute to charity, but he can also give a gift to his girlfriend. The biggest winner tonight is Dave.” Renly laughed Yingying said.
