Chapter 63 Representative
"A top-grade herb? Isn't that the critical medicinal herb for treating Grandma?" Quentin thought.
He had sent people all over the world to find that specific herb, but he couldn't find any.
He didn't expect that rare herb to appear at that small charity auction.
Trying not to let his anxiety show, he waited for the backstage staff to put the top-grade herb on the platform to be displayed.
Upon seeing the perfectly preserved top-grade herb, he immediately raised his plaque to start bidding.
"Thirty million dollars."
During the bidding process, a few interested partners also joined in, but without exception, they were all outbid by Quentin, given his deep pockets.
In the end, he acquired the top-grade herb for 100 million dollars.
Watching that, Leah casually picked up the cup on the table in front of her and took a sip.
That top-grade herb was deliberately made available by her for Quentin to purchase.
Debra was in poor health and urgently needed that top-grade herb for her treatment.
Given Leah's strained relationship with Quentin, combined with the fact that Debra couldn't handle any more stress, she couldn't visit Debra in person. Thus, that was her way of silently caring for Debra. As Leah was lost in thought, the hostess' sweet voice once again resounded from the stage.
"Congratulations to Mr. Worthington for acquiring the top-grade herb. Two items have been successfully auctioned, and our auction is nearing its end. Now, the organizer of our charity auction will present our final item to everyone. Please give her a warm welcome."
The audience applauded as they waited for the organizer to show up.
Deafening applause filled the room.
In the midst of the continuous clapping, Leah stood up from her seat, lifted the hem of her dress, and walked slowly toward the stage.
Sharon watched that scene with a shocked expression.
"Leah? The organizer? How is that even possible?" she thought.
Quentin, who had also witnessed that, had a hint of surprise in his eyes, but otherwise, his expression betrayed no emotion.
On the other hand, Maria scoffed at the situation.
"I knew Leah had thick skin, but I never thought it could be this thick. The hostess requested the presence of the organizer. What's she doing on stage? It's like she's making this auction all about her. It's truly
embarrassing!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Leah had already reached the stage. She took the microphone from the hostess and began to speak.
"Hello, everyone. I am Leah Wilson, representing the organizers of today's charity auction."
Her tone was even, giving off a tranquil and soothing calmness.
Her graceful demeanor won the favor of many, and the applause from the audience below grew even louder.
Quentin watched Leah's every graceful move on stage, and he recalled the various scenes ever since his divorce from her.
It seemed that every time, Leah would bring him different surprises.
She was attractive to him, making him unable to help but wonder if there was more about her that he didn't know about.
Sharon was not only shocked by the
revelation. She also noticed that Quentin's gaze was fixated on Leah as though he was deeply captivated. Her face fell as she clenched her fists.
That day, Quentin had been unwittingly searching for Leah, his gaze constantly landing on her.
"Leah, this bitch, why does she keep pestering Quentin even though they're already divorced?" Sharon wondered.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
The more she thought about it, the darker her expression became.
Her eyes were filled with resentment as she glared intensely at Leah on stage. She couldn't contain her animosity toward Leah, and she would tear Leah apart with her bare hands if she could.
Sensing Sharon's gaze, Leah lowered her head and locked eyes with her. She smiled with pride and confidence, obviously unfazed by Sharon's animosity.
