Luna stopped after the bid reached 200 million.
However, Andrius pushed the price all the way to 1.1 billion.
How Ndiculous!
Charlie looked at Luna with a scornful expression.
Her mind went blank!
The auctioneer was calling her from the stage, “Ms. Crestfall, please come up on stage to examine the item and make your payment.”
Luna did not have the money, so how was she going to pay the auctioneer?
With her life?
Andrius got up on his feet with a card in his hand. The card in his hand looked plain and somewhat used. It had even lost its original gloss.
Everyone else was shocked.
“Damn…”
“This card doesn’t fit someone who has 1.1 billion.”
“I don’t think that card can hold that much money as well.”
“Tsk, tsk. This is going to be fun.”
“It’s been a long time since I saw something this interesting at an auction. My trip here is now worth it.”
The floor became excited when Andrius stood up.
No one believed that his card would have 1.1 billion.
Charlie sneered at him openly, “So, that’s your 1.1 billion? How terrifying. Punk, you must have gone out of your mind with all the boasting!”
Luna lowered her head in embarrassment to the point that she almost touched her chest with her forehead. She was worried, embarrassed, and regretful.
If she knew Andrius would cause such an embarrassing scene, she would not have brought him here.
The auctioneer’s patience wore thin, and he was ready to berate Andrius and Luna openly.
Then, one of the workers came up on stage and whispered something into his ear, and the auctioneer’s expression changed drastically from a frosty look to a gentle expression with a wide smile.
His anger was swiftly replaced by respect.
The entire process of his changing his expression was so smooth and subtle that it could be used as teaching material for actors and actresses.
“I
Sow announce that Riverfront Entertainment belongs to Ms. Crestfall. Ms. Crestfall, please come up on
stage to sign the transfer contract.”
He looked at Luna with utmost flattery.
The dramatic change in his expression stunned everyone else.
What happened?
The auctioneer was asking Luna for payment a moment ago, but now, he skipped the part and called Luna up on stage to sign the transfer contract?
No matter how hard everyone thought about it, no one knew what could have happened.
However, it was good news for Luna.
Luna looked at the auctioneer before she went up on stage and followed him backstage where the answer was waiting for.
“What is going on?” Luna asked when she arrived backstage with Andrius.
The auctioneer looked at her with jealousy and pouty lips. He pointed at one of the rooms and said, “Ms. Timberland has cleared the payment for you. She’s waiting for you in the room.”
Andrius finally realized what happened, while Luna was still having a hard time wrapping her head around
the situation.
Luna knocked on the door and entered after she got permission.
“Ms. Timberland…..” Luna’s head was filled with question marks. “Why did you buy Riverfront
Entertainment for me?”
“Ms. Crestfall, please don’t take it the wrong way.”
Sonia smiled and explained, “I have asked my specialist to analyze the market and value Riverfront Entertainment. It has the potential to grow into the biggest entertainment company in the country. While it does have a lot of potential…
“My family is trying to stretch our reach, but we don’t have enough manpower and energy to venture into showbiz, so I propose a collaboration. I’ll pay and you manage.
“As usual, we share the ownership and profit 50-50. We don’t want any equity and will not be involved in any decision–making. How does that sound?”
How did it sound?
It was a free lunch from heaven! How else could it sound?
Luna felt surreal until she looked at the contract. The terms were exactly as Sonia said, and there was no problem with it.
She had no reason to reject Sonia’s offer and quickly signed her name on it.
Sonia was not doing charity or trying to venture into the entertainment industry. She did it because of Andrius.
While the girls talked about the details, Andrius had some tea. After his bladder was full, he got up and went to the toilet.
“Punk, we meet again!”
As soon as Andrius stepped out, a group of men stopped him. The leader of the group looked vicious, and it was none other than Charlie.
