Chapter 21 Put It on!
“You can only display your sexy figure in front of me.”
Braden stared at her with burning eyes and didn’t notice how possessive he was about her.
“As my wife, being dignified and decent is the most basic thing. What you dress in is improper!”
When he thought of those men who stared at her so eagerly just now, he became so annoyed that he
even wanted to gouge out their eyeballs!
“Put it on!”
Braden took off his coat and domineeringly wrapped Shirley in it tightly.
“Bossy boots!”
Shirley smiled, and her charming eyes were full of mockery and disdain. “Mr. Stewart, you have no right
to tell me what I should or shouldn’t do. I can wear what I like. It’s none of your business.”
As she spoke, she took off his coat, hooked it on her index finger, and said word by word, “I don’t need
your kindness.”
After she finished the words, his black coat fell to the ground.
Shirley raised her chin and walked away confidently, with an enchanting figure.
Braden looked at her graceful and wild figure, with a gloomy handsome face.
He was very angry, but found that… he didn’t have the right to interfere with her anymore.
The auctioneer knocked on the champagne glass, and the charity dinner officially started.
The annual banquet gathered all the dignitaries in Seatle City.
Braden, Shirley and Ewan sat in the first row.
Jane, Blaine, and Amelie sat in the second row, just behind Braden and Shirley.
“See, Amelie, I told you that Shirley is a bitch. She knows how to seduce men!”
Jane stared at Shirley’s sexy figure and complained to Amelie through clenched teeth.
“Jane, keep your voice down lest you be heard.”
Amelie reminded.
“I don’t care. Isn’t what I said the truth?”
Jane was almost going mad with jealousy and continued to attack Shirley verbally. “With Braden
sitting on the right and Mr. Parker sitting on the left, she is as proud as a
“Ha–ha!”
peacock.”
Amelie and the ladies in the same row couldn’t help pursing their lips and laughing.
Shirley attracted the most attention on such an occasion. No wonder she was being discussed.
“However, she won’t be proud for long!”
Jane gritted her teeth and said this. She had already figured out how to make fun of her later.
“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It’s the annual Charity Ceremony in Seatle City again. This
year’s rules are the same as in previous years. We will receive donations from caring people from all
over the world.”
“Then, caring people present will bid for the auction for these donations. All the proceeds will be
donated to poor children after being notarized by a notary agency.”
The auctioneer stood in the center of the stage and made a speech enthusiastically.
“Next, we come to the first session. I will introduce to you all the donated items received at this
dinner.”
“The first lot is Renoir’s famous painting ‘The Theater Box‘ donated by Mr. Henry Smith of Smith
Group. Its current market value is 300,000 dollars.”
“The second lot is a Hermès limited edition violet gold handbag donated by actress Ms. Maggie Gabbe.
Its market price is around 400,000 dollars.”
“The third lot is a high–quality bead donated by the international supermodel Mr. Jick. Its market value
is about 600,000 dollars.”
With the continuous introduction of the auctioneer, the crowd on the scene became more and more
enthusiastic, and their exclamation was louder and louder.
Every year, this session, as well as the subsequent auction session, was like a disguised contest of
economy and strength.
The person who donated the most valuable item and bid the highest price would be the most
respectable in Seatle City this year.
Therefore, new companies, celebrities, and socialites would donate their most valuable things to gain a
good reputation.
Braden and Ewan were distinguished enough not to participate in the donation process. And they only
participated in the bidding section.
“Next, I will introduce a precious treasure to you!”
The auctioneer said excitedly, “It was donated by Mr. Blaine of the Cantu family, to express his love for
his girlfriend, Jane. Now, let our ritual girl display it…”
“Wow!”
When the ritual girl removed the white cloth covering the exhibition box, the crowd burst into
exclamation.
Inside the exhibition box, a pink peach–shaped pendant shone brightly under the light, dazzling and
eye–catching.
“As you can see, this peach–shaped pendant is cut from a whole piece of pink crystal, and it has a very
romantic name, ‘Original‘…”
“It is not an ordinary crystal pendant. It is said that the king of a small European country customized it
for his goddaughter. In other words… it is a royal treasure, unique in the world, and has been valued at
4,000,000 dollars!”
The auctioneer’s introduction made this already shining pendant noble.
The constant exclamation from the crowd was enough to show how precious this crystal pendant
was.
Many women cast envious looks at Jane.
“Baby, do you like this surprise?”
Blaine took Jane’s hand and asked her like a simp.
With her vanity being satisfied to the maximum, Jane smiled happily.
In the front row, Ewan frowned slightly. Seeing the crystal pendant with a researching gaze, he said
with disdain, “The color of this crystal is average. After being related to a royal family, it can be worth
4,000,000 dollars. Does he think we are stupid?”
“It is a good crystal. As for whether it comes from the royal family… how interesting.”
With a meaningful expression, Shirley smiled without saying a word.
The auctioneer continued, “Well, that’s it. They are the items that are about to participate in the
auction.”
“Among all our donated items, this pink peach–shaped pendant has the highest valuation. It is donated
by Mr. Cantu on behalf of his girlfriend, Ms. Miller. Now, welcome to come on stage,
Miller.”
Jane appeared on the stage in a very high–profile manner amidst cheers.
Ms.
Holding the microphone, she said with a contrived expression, “Thank you for your applause. I am
really happy to be here to do charity with you.”novelbin
“To pass on this love, I would like to invite Shirley to come on stage and share this beautiful
moment with her.”
After Jane finished speaking, she made an inviting gesture to Shirley.
Of course, Shirley knew that she had no good intentions.
However, she didn’t show any timidity and came to the stage openly.
She was looking forward to seeing her tricks.
Everyone’s eyes immediately focused on Shirley, amazed by her beauty.
Seeing this, Jane was even more jealous.
“Shirley, I invited you to come up because I want to ask you a simple question. This is a charity dinner.
Everyone donated a lot to show their love, but you seem… not to donate anything?”
“Anyway, you are a member of the Stewart family. You should have gotten a lot of money over the
years. But you didn’t donate anything. How indifferent you are!”
That was right. She wanted to humiliate Shirley in public and put her on the spot.
As she expected, the crowd had heated discussions and accused Shirley of being rich but unkind.
They said that she only took advantage of the Stewart family and was so mean. Also, she was a good–
looking person who had an ugly soul.
“Fuck!”
Ewan’s fist hardened when he heard this, and he just wanted to rush up to beat those people.
In this world, he hadn’t seen anyone more caring than Shirley!
Braden, who was next to him, with a serious and gloomy face, was looking at Shirley coldly, waiting for
the development of the matter.
Amidst the scolding, Shirley was very calm.
She looked at them and said, “Everyone, don’t get excited. I will donate, but before that, I want to
apologize to you on behalf of Jane.”
After hearing this, the crowd felt confused.
Jane gritted her teeth and lowered her voice, “What are you going to do, jinx?”
Ignoring her, Shirley continued, “The pendant she donated is a fake!”
