Drowning In His Deep Love (Re-edited) novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 The Storm at the Charity Dinner - The Fake Bracelet

No one knew whether this woman was doing it deliberately or not.

Though she spoke to the host in a low voice, she faced the microphone in the host's hand.

Did Florence donate a face bracelet?

This was something that had never happened at a charity dinner.

Wasn't it fooling people and making vainglorious fame by taking a fake to the auction?

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and they looked at Florence questioningly.

Florence was flustered. The people who came to this kind of occasion were all influential in the circle. Her behavior must not be wrong, and she must not have a bad reputation.

She could not make Alexander lose his face.

Alexander looked at Florence and stood up when Florence shacked her head, signaling him to keep silent.

William and Maxwell glanced at each other, and neither believed that Florence would use a counterfeit for charity.

Brielle and Andrew looked at each other. They could not ignore it as if it hadn’t happened. Ignoring this problem would damage Florence's reputation even more.

Andrew came to the stage, smiled, and said to everyone, “I am sorry, because of an accident, the dinner will be suspended for half an hour, thanks for your understanding."

After finishing speaking, Andrew walked to Florence and said in a low voice, "Let's see what happened first, don't worry."

"Godfather," Florence called Andrew and stood up. With the attention of the audience, she raised her voice and said, "Could somebody bring all the donations to the stage, including the bracelet I donated."

Andrew quickly understood what Florence meant; she wanted to clarify things in front of everyone.

Otherwise, even if they figured out the fact, some people would use this as an excuse to doubt Florence privately and think that the Cooper family was covering up the points, though they might not say something in public.

Lincoln and Allison had not come today, and they didn't have the face to go to this kind of occasion. As Florence's godfather, Andrew must protect her.

Let alone Alexander was still sitting there.

"Okay, I would go right now." Andrew personally went backstage to deal with it; he brought all the donated items to the stage and invited the appraiser to check.

Everyone in the audience stretched their necks to see the pair of bracelets donated by Florence.

Wasn't it a big joke that Andrew's goddaughter had donated a pair of fake bracelets?

Audrey was a little worried, “Florence, what's going on? Is it a mistake?"

"Don't worry." Florence comforts Audrey, but actually, she was the most nervous.

Florence went up to the stage, walked to the bracelets she donated, and heard the appraiser say in embarrassment, "They are indeed a fake, and they’re worth a few hundred dollars."

Hundreds of dollars?

There was a lot of discussion in the audience again, and even some people laughed contemptuously.

William could not keep listening anymore, “Alexander, aren’t you going to help Florence?"

Alexander did not speak, but his eyes fell on Florence. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously when he watched Florence's composure in the face of doubts.

Maxwell, who was on the side, said to William, "Alex won't stand by. However, today is an excellent opportunity and springboard for Ms. Scott if she can handle it and get recognition and praise from the people in the circle, which will be helpful for her to maintain her position if she marries Alex.”

William suddenly realized something, “Alexander, you are paving the way for Ms. Scott."

Florence's ability was not limited to being an interpreter. When Alexander exchanged a glance with Florence just now, he understood what Florence meant.

She wanted to fight with him instead of enjoying his giving under his wings.

His woman was proud in her bones.

She wanted evenly matched love.

Currently, Florence had not yet reached the same height as him, but sooner or later, they would be partners and fight together.

Florence frowned; what she donated could not be fake because it was a gift from her mother on her eighth birthday.

Because she had always been hiding it, Allison could not snatch it.
