My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 2041 - 2035: I Advise You to Pay Attention to the Expression Management on Your Face

Joanna Lawrence paused for a moment and turned to look at her.

Rebecca Kelloway also turned her head, her lips curving into a smile. She whispered, "You only got to attend this gala because of Ashton, right? After all, you’re nowhere near qualified. Tell me, out of all the guests here today, you’re the only newcomer. Aren’t you embarrassed?"

"Rebecca Kelloway," Joanna Lawrence pursed her lips and called out Rebecca’s name with a smile.

"Long time no see. It seems like we haven’t met since your family’s company ran into trouble. I heard the Kelloway Group suddenly got a big investment and made a comeback. Looks like it’s true."

"Otherwise, some people wouldn’t have the guts to show their faces and would still be hiding at home."

"They wouldn’t be jumping around like they are now."

Rebecca Kelloway narrowed her eyes, rage flashing in them. "Joanna Lawrence, who are you talking about!"

"Whoever you think I’m talking about, then that’s who it is," Joanna said with a nonchalant expression.

"You!"

"Ms. Kelloway, I advise you to pay attention to the expression on your face. After all, there are so many cameras around. If someone captures you baring your teeth, the elegance of the so-called well-bred lady from a noble family will be gone," Joanna said slowly and calmly.

Rebecca Kelloway’s face instantly changed, and she raised her head to look around her.

When she saw that there were indeed many cameras on site, her expression changed again, and she immediately reined in her emotions.

After bickering with her for a bit, Joanna Lawrence lost interest in continuing the exchange.

A few minutes later, the host took the stage and announced the official start of the Charity Gala.

Such charity events generally aimed to expand the event’s influence and appeal through celebrities and to raise a sum of charity funds during the event. These charity funds would be donated by the artists present at the event.

However, the donation requirement for the artists was not high.

They typically auctioned off one of their personal belongings via live streaming, and the auction proceeds were donated to the charity gala.

These were procedural matters, and the personal belongings donated by the artists were generally not too expensive, focusing more on participation.

Usually, fans of each artist would end up buying the auctioned items.

Some fans, trying to buy their idol’s personal belongings, would bid tens of thousands of dollars for an ordinary T-shirt.

For example, Porter Rushbrook who was on stage at the moment. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Porter took out a unique necklace that he had worn at a previous event, and as soon as it was displayed, someone outside the live stream offered 10,000 yuan.

The original price of the necklace, however, was just 1,000 yuan.

Since it was a necklace that Porter had worn, wealthy female fans were more than willing to spend a high price to buy it and keep it as a collection.

Soon, the necklace, originally priced at 1,000 yuan, was auctioned off for more than 30,000 yuan.

Eventually, it was sold for a staggering 100,000 yuan.

"As you can see, Porter’s fans are really extravagant," the host was surprised by the fans’ generosity and could not help exclaiming, "This necklace was auctioned off at a price that is many times higher than our estimate. We hope that the auction results will keep getting better and better."

"Thank you Porter for supporting our gala, and thank you for donating the proceeds. The money will be used to help impoverished children across the country in the future."

After shaking hands and thanking Porter, the host bowed to the audience below the stage and then returned to his seat.

"Next, please welcome Ms. Rebecca Kelloway to the stage."
