His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 982

When Susan and Sheryl were talking, the host walked to the stage and announced the opening of the charity dinner. "Dear distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, welcome! It's a great honor to have you all here tonight. Now please allow me to announce the start of this charity dinner initiated by Skyline Property."

His opening remarks were met with thunderous applause. The host continued, "Let's invite the President of Skyline Property, Mr. Cary Su to say a few words on this special occasion. Welcome, Mr. Su!"

Cary swiftly walked onstage amidst a huge applause and some inspirational music. When Susan saw the radiant and graceful Cary on the stage, her expression changed a little.

"Dear distinguished guests," Cary started, "thank you so much for attending this charity auction tonight. It's such a great honor for me to see you all here! Tonight, we'll introduce you to some great artistic works, including calligraphy Chrysanthemum by the famous calligrapher, Mr. Manuel Xie, the painting Returning Home by national-level artist Mr. Quinton Shen, the final work of Miss Paulina Chen and many others by talented artists. Let's give a round of applause to the good-will providers of the auction items and all the guests present tonight! Thank you!"

Cary paused and waited for the applause to die down. Then he continued, "We will be presenting ten art collections and five other items. All the proceeds from the auction will be donated to Hope Primary Schools."

When he finished, the audience cheered him once again. Each item in the auction was invaluable, and Cary was able to bring in so many of them here tonight. The auction was meant to help people and every penny earned would go straight to the charity fund. This was not just a show to promote his real estate business.

Susan, who stood by Sheryl, was pretty surprised by Cary's behavior. She mumbled, "I didn't think Cary was such a philanthropist."

Sheryl was amused by her words. She said in a calm tone, "There is so much that you don't know about."

Susan didn't answer her, but stared at Cary quietly. She felt something changing within her. Cary had become much more charming in her heart.

"Since you have all contributed handsomely in this auction, I want to make a small contribution as well. I am donating a villa of the Skyline Property for the auction. And no matter the price, all of it will go to the charity fund."

The audience cheered and applauded loudly. The host walked onto the stage and stated, "Now, let's begin the auction. The first item is a couplet created by Mr. Vance Kong, a member of the Calligraphy Association. Upset price is ten thousand dollars. Do we have a higher bid?"

Many guests raised their cards to bid for it. Sheryl took Susan's hand and walked her to a nearby chair. "Sit down. Your feet are not entirely recovered. Get some rest."

However, Susan was distracted and ignored her words. She kept her eyes on Cary, who was entertaining the guests not far away from her. His movements were graceful. When she was about to look away, Cary turned towards her direction as if he had sensed her hot sight on him. A soft smile appeared on his lips as their eyes met. He said something to the guests around him and walked towards her.

Susan felt her heart skip a beat at that moment. And then it started pounding in her chest crazily.

"What's wrong, Susan?" Sheryl asked, noticing Susan's unusual behavior.

"I'm fine," Susan replied immediately as she came to her senses. She threw a quick glance at Sheryl and then swiftly looked at the floor as she tried to hide her emotion. She fidgeted a little and said without looking into her eyes, " I guess it's too stuffy in here for me."

Sheryl wasn't convinced by her words, but she played along. She grabbed a glass of orange juice from the table and said, "Drink this. You'll feel a bit refreshed." Susan took the glass from her and was about to take a sip when Cary appeared in front of her. She froze when her eyes met his gaze once again. Cary stood next to her and asked, "Miss Su, would you please accompany me to meet someone?"

"Meet someone?" Susan was stunned. She turned to look at Sheryl in a reflex as if asking for her advice.

Sheryl smiled to her. "You don't need my opinions on this. It's not a big deal. Just make your own decision."
