Salute to the General novel Chapter 297

Nathan Cross looked at Jude Hay and said indifferently with a smile, "We left the house in a hurry and did not make any preparations. But since the purpose of the event tonight is to raise funds for my wife's alma mater, and seeing that Mr. Hay had also asked me personally; it's only right that I show some support too."

Nathan knelt down in front of his wife after saying that. Under the watchful gazes of the rest of the guests, Nathan removed the rhinestone high heel on Penny's left foot and placed it on the tabletop. "This high heel shall be my contribution to the auction!" Nathan declared with a winning smile on his face.

Penny flushed with embarrassment and wished to treat Nathan with a flying kick right at that instant.

Everyone was stunned by Nathan's gesture. The emcee, Yale Xenakis, let out an awkward laughter and said, "Mr. Cross, I'm afraid that we'll have some trouble appraising this item.”

With a relaxed demeanor, Nathan replied, "That's alright, we don't need to have a minimum bid. The high heels will just go to the highest bidder."

Jude Hay had never expected Nathan Cross to act so shamelessly. With nothing to donate to the auction, he had even resorted to using his wife's high heels as a shield.

Since you're bold enough to put out your wife's high heels as an auction item, I'll buy it just to embarrass you! Jude Hay silently snorted and thought to himself.

With that thought in mind, Jude Hay raised his number card and stated, "I'll start with one thousand!"

The bigwigs of the corporate world snapped out of their thoughts on Nathan's absurd choice of donation and joined in the fun when they heard Jude Hay's bid.

In no time, the bid for Penny's high heels was raised to a hundred thousand.

Jude Hay, who was bent on winning the dance with Penny, raised his number card again and shouted, "One million! Who else would like to make a higher offer?"

Yale Xenakis had never expected that a worn high heels would be able to fetch one million! Overwhelmed with excitement, he started counting "One million going once, one million going twice, do we have a higher offer here? If there isn't, I shall now declare that this high heels go to Mr. Hay...

Before Yale Xenakis finished his sentence and banged the lectern to end the bidding, Kylie Tonkins raised the number card. Following Nathan's instructions, she announced loudly, "Mr. Cross would be offering one hundred million to buy back his wife's high heels!”

What???

Did she just say one hundred million???

Goodness gracious! Is this guy serious???

After observing the reactions of the other guests, Nathan thought to himselflook at the way these people are so stunned at my offer, and they were the same people who were laughing at me for presenting P

With a shaky voice, Yale Xenakis made the official announcement, "I now declare that Mr. Cross has successfully acquired his wife's high heels for one hundred million, and all the proceeds will go to the building of a research facility at Channing University."
