Chapter 225
Everyone went wild on the platform.
(Sell it to her? Why so?)
(Mr. D.K, aren’t your gowns always sold through auctions? Why do you insist on selling it to Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
her?]
(And with just one billion? The final asking price of this gown would be way more than that!)
Everyone was engaged in a heated discussion, and even Charmine was shocked by his decision. Did Mr. Kingston mean it when he said he would sell the gown to her? They had only met once ten years ago, and it was when she was still ugly…
“That’s right, you didn’t hear it wrong,” said Mr. Kingston to the camera. “I’ve indeed made u p my mind, and nobody could change my decision.”
Kelly Milan was dumbfounded. She had prepared at least ten billion for it, ready to best everyone who dared to bid against her. Little did she expect D.K to make up his mind right away!
Was he looking down on her? Was he insulting her?
She bitterly texted, (Why did you make this decision? She’s paying you 1 billion, but I’ll pay you 1.5 million! I already said that only I can own this gown!) 2
“My apologies,” D.K merely replied, “I prefer the other lady.”
What did he mean ‘preferred the other lady’? Just because he preferred her, he decided to sell his gown to someone who had not even started bidding for it?
Angered by his decision, Kelly Milan typed a reply in fury, (Mr. D.K, this is against the rules! This is an auction platform! As long as you’re on this platform, you’ll have to obey the auctioning rules! The highest bidder will be able to own the gown, so if you still insist on selling it to her, I can report you!)
She was threatening to report him for this.
Inside the presidential suite, Nial locked his eyes on the screen with a frown. How could a gown cause such a scene, and why did this make such an abrupt decision? He did not even have the chance to bid!
What if his brother sent him to Africa if he failed to bid for the gown? 3
He picked up his phone to call Anthony. “Bro, something’s up,” said Nial. “D.K decided to sell his gown to an anonymous user on the live-streaming platform, and he no longer accepts further callings. Hurry up and find out who this user is.”
He read out the numbers of the username,
“Give me a minute,” came Anthony’s reply, his fingers already typing the numbers on his keyboard as he spoke. As different sequences of numbers appeared, his brows tightened. The final result showed Charmine’s phone number!
The woman was Charmine all along?
A thought then occurred to him as he said to Nial, “Hand this over to me, I’ll do it myself.”
With that, he hung up on Nial and clicked open his contacts page.
The live-streaming platform was getting out of control, but Mr. Kingston still stood firm on his decision. “Many apologies, but I’ve already made up my mind. There’s no point trying to change my mind.”
Kelly Milan was furious. “If so, I will report you and expose your wrongdoing! You’re the one who’s going against the rule, and you disrespected all of the bidders here! Be prepared to be criticized by everyone online!”
Listening to Kelly’s rants, Charmine’s brows furrowed by reflex. Kelly Milan was an unreasonable woman, though it was indeed Mr. Kingston’s fault in the first place. If this went public, Mr. Kingston would be attacked by many of Kelly Milan’s fans. He might even find himself boycotted by many!
Mr. Kingston was already in his eighties, and he should not get involved with such a scandal at
that age!
