The Abandoned Wife Dumped Him First (Victoria and Elias) novel Chapter 121

Elias's expression was cool as he responded, "Mr. Felix."

He then gave Hawk a look.

Hawk stepped forward and handed Mayor Felix a prepared check. "Mr. Felix, this is a small token from Mr. Shawn, on behalf of The Shawn Group, for the beneficiaries of this charity auction."

Mayor Felix feigned surprise, but upon seeing the number on the check, he grinned from ear to ear.

Although Tammie was the official host of this charity auction, as the mayor of Havenport, a successful event that raised a substantial amount of money would undoubtedly become a political achievement for him, a clear benefit to his career.

With that in mind, Mayor Felix accepted the check with both hands and thanked him profusely. "Mr. Shawn's presence alone is an honor for Havenport. I never expected you to be so generous! Rest assured, Mr. Shawn, we will ensure every cent of this donation goes directly to the recipients. On behalf of the children who will benefit, thank you!"

With that, Mayor Felix gave a deep, formal bow.

Elias helped him up. "It's nothing."

Mayor Felix lowered his head and carefully counted the zeros on the check again.

A full twenty million!

He carefully put the check away, stepped aside, and made a gesture of invitation. "Mr. Shawn, the auction is about to begin. Shall we go in?"

Elias nodded.

The two of them walked ahead, side by side, with Hawk and a line of Havenport's most prominent political figures following closely behind.

Elias's seat was in the center of the front row.

As soon as he sat down, his gaze swept casually across the venue, but he didn't spot the person he was looking for.

He shot Hawk an icy glance.

Hawk felt a shiver run down his spine from his boss's freezing look and immediately understood. He took out his phone and headed for the exit.

Hawk was speechless. *So much for him not caring whether Miss Sanger showed up or not.*

Meanwhile, Mayor Felix approached Elias with another man.

Elias looked up and stood.

Just as Mayor Felix was about to make an introduction, the man beside him strode forward, grasped Elias's right hand, and bumped his shoulder against his.
