Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby novel Chapter 91

"It's exactly because the night has been so eventful that I should treat myself to a present for having a hard day,” Luna disagreed. "It's not every day Hector is so generous. Since he's allowing me to bid for anything I want, I should take the chance to showcase myself in front of everyone.

Otherwise, those rich ladies will always look down on me at socialites' parties!"

After hearing her daughter's perspective, Amanda stopped insisting as well...

She could understand the reasons for Luna feeling that way. Even though the Sterlings enjoyed a high status, her daughter was never popular among the socialites' circle. Whenever she attended one of their gatherings, she would always go home feeling hurt and in tears...

It might actually be a good opportunity for the woman to be seen. That way, those people would stop looking down on her in the future.

"The bidding starts now. The starting bid would be nine million with each bid increment being five hundred thousand!" the emcee announced.

The guests started raising their bidding paddles when they were certain that Zachary was not interested in the item.

Luna was one of them. In order to flaunt the Sterlings' generosity, the woman bid in an increment of one million instead and managed to catch the attention of the rest of the guests very quickly.

She was feeling secretly delighted. The time had finally come for her to make a name for herself.

Charlotte was in no mood to carry on watching the auction and was about to try requesting Zachary

again to leave...

However, before she could speak, he had already stood up and offered his hand to her. "Let's go out for a walk."

"Sure." She placed her hand on his palm and allowed him to lead her towards the exit of the hall.

Just like that, they had become the center of attention again. Even the auction was temporarily halted...

The event only carried on after the two of them left the hall.

Luna was extremely upset. She had to spend so much money to bid for an item, while Charlotte easily grabbed the attention of everyone without doing anything!

How unfair was that!

"Don't let that b*tch ruin your good spirits," her mother reminded softly. "Let's leave after you win the bid for this item."

"The Browns have placed a bid of thirteen million..."

"Thirty million!"

Luna raised her bidding paddle and instantly became the focus of attention once again.

Consecutive bids during an auction would usually be in slight increments. However, Luna had straight away increased the bid by more than twofold, which was very generous indeed!
