After Freddie left, the other three didn't stay long either and entered the VIP box. As the perfumers from various countries arrived at the venue, the atmosphere gradually heated up.
Almost all major events have a "finale" segment where people can bet on the champion in advance. At this moment, almost everyone's attention in the venue was focused on the VIP box. After all, in this society, a woman's value and charm are measured by her popularity among the top elites. Especially in such a multinational event, even for the sake of disgrace, the wealthy people of various countries would not hesitate to spend money.
"Ten million, Lancelot!"
"Five million, Daisy!"
"Five million, Lancelot!"
Almost every perfumer, after being mentioned by name, would proudly glance at their competitors from other countries. And without a doubt, the most mentioned names were the champions of each country.
Leah stood in an inconspicuous corner, motionless, staring at Selena sitting in the contestant seat. While the women around her were fighting for men's lavish spending, she was looking down at her phone with a hint of longing and anticipation in her eyes. It seemed that she completely ignored the jealousy and envy from others.
She hated Selena's hypocritical appearance the most! As if everything she had fought so hard for was not worth mentioning in Selena's eyes.
Leah lowered her eyes, covering up the emotions in her eyes, and spoke in a calm tone, "Dominic, our new company is short of funds and we must find a way to make money, or we won't be able to sustain it for long."
Dominic stood beside her, originally staring blankly at Selena. When he heard Leah's words, he instinctively looked over. After a moment of contemplation, he understood Leah's meaning and frowned, "Leah, are you sure?"
Their current situation was difficult. If it weren't for the private stash left by Mrs. Walson over the years, their family would have been homeless long ago.
Their new company was struggling to survive under the joint pressure of Talon and Luke. If they fell into this situation, relying on their vanity and love of attention, they would not be willing to hide in a corner in such a grand occasion.
Leah did not look up, her voice still calm, "Dominic, trust me, I will definitely win the championship of this international competition. Not only can I solve our current dilemma, but I can also help us rise again!"
Dominic looked at her delicate eyes and felt uneasy rather than reassured.
After the Riddle Corporation was taken back, Leah changed a lot. Every time Dominic saw her, he felt scared by her quietness. Hesitant, Dominic didn't immediately agree, "Leah, you know we don't have much money, once we fail, it might-"
Leah suddenly grabbed his hand, interrupting Dominic's words. She looked up at him, "Dominic, I'm not asking you for money. Someone will bid for me. I just hope you can support me!"
Selena wanted her to have nowhere to go. She sacrificed her mother, ruined her father, killed her "brother," but it didn't matter. She still had Dominic and her unborn child. She wouldn't let herself fall into the trap Selena had arranged for her!
Looking at her firm eyes, Dominic suddenly felt that not only Selena but even Leah had become almost unrecognizable.
"Leah..."
Leah looked up and glanced at a window in a VIP room on the second floor. Her red lips curled into a sly smile, "Dominic, believe me, I will definitely win the championship and wash away the shame!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a mature and smiling voice resounded through the venue, "Leah, one hundred million!"
The noisy scene suddenly became silent. Shocked gazes immediately turned to look at Leah. After a moment, the audience from H country collectively exploded.
There were voices of disbelief everywhere.
"A hundred million?"
"A hundred million to buy Leah the championship, that's so much money?"
