Everyone couldn't help but snicker in hushed tones. They felt both pity and disdain for Chloe! Laughter spread like a contagion, growing louder throughout the venue.
Damon's face turned sour, and the soft affection in Chloe's eyes for him grew cold.
Keira instantly felt relieved, as the spotlight had shifted to Chloe.
Apart from Kane, Claud, and Jeanette who were seething on the side, and itching to reveal their relationship right away, the auctioneer was the only one who found it hilarious.
"So that's what Chloe is like, no wonder Mr. Olson dumped her!"
Those words were clearly from Keira's supporters.
The mockery grew louder. After a while, a frigid voice wrapped in an arctic chill echoed from somewhere—
"Is it that funny?"
The voice was almost drowned by the laughter, yet it had an intimidating power that stunned the quick-witted, who were puzzled by the sudden change.
The laughter gradually subsided, but there were still people whispering and pointing at Chloe on stage, sporadic laughter continued to erupt.
Damon slowly stood up, his tall stature towering over the crowd. His natural air of authority and nobility burst forth, and his handsome face was frighteningly cold. His face didn't show much emotion, yet it was enough to scare the living daylights out of people.
