Chapter 207
Erika was an experienced woman, so even though Jackson showed no courtesy to her, she remained unruffled and said, ‘I understand Mr. Moore meets all kinds of people every day so it’s only natural that you don’t remember me. I’m Erika. We met before at the M1. Group’s opening ceremony
Upon hearing this, Jackson still showed no sign of recognition
“Well, I’m sorry. I don’t have any impression”
He spoke bluntly, with an unmistakable hint of rejection.
Seeing this, Erika smiled awkwardly
Gilda, on the side, could barely suppress the urge to laugh. She didn’t expect Jackson to be so straightforward, remaining sex calm despite a beautiful woman standing right in front of him.
Just then, Jensen, dressed in an all–black handmade suit, appeared at the entrance,
Recently, the reputation of the Harrington Corporation had taken a hit.
In order to restore their reputation, Jenson decided to attend this charity auction.
It was an opportunity to do some charity work, show compassion, and improve the public’s perception of the Farrington Corporation.
“Mr. Harrington! I’ve heard so much about you! Please, this way…” The organizer greeted Jensen with the utmost respect since Jensen was a real big shot in Allath.
Even though there had been some controversies involving the Harrington family, their current status in Allath was still quite high. The organizer didn’t want to offend them.
Therefore, the organizer invited Jensen to sit in the front row, Coincidentally, Gilda and Jackson were seated next to him.
The moment Jensen saw Gilda, his gaze never left her. When he saw Jackson sitting beside Gilda, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes darkened.
He chose to take his seat without saying a word.
“Welcome, everyone, to tonight’s auction. All the proceeds from tonight’s auction will be donated to the Red Cross to help elderly and orphaned individuals.”
After the host’s words, applause filled the venue.
“Next, we have our first item up for auction tonight, a bracelet donated by the Innovation Group, starting at 20 thousand
dollars.”
“22 thousand dollars.”
“26 thousand dollars.”
“30 thousand dollars!”
The bidding continued in waves, ultimately closing at 40 thousand dollars.

Seeing this, Gilda couldn’t help but ask quietly. “Jackson, what did you donate?”
“A little trinket, nothing valuable.”

Gilda nodded in understanding and didn’t press further. However, her gaze inadvertently met that of Jensen, who was sitting not far away.
Gilda ignored him.
She calmly looked away.
The auction continued…
“Alright, next up is the fifth item for auction tonight, an Omega Men’s watch donated by Mr. Jackson Moore of the ML. Group, starting at 100 thousand dollars.”
As soon as the host finished speaking. Erika, seated in the back, raised her paddle and said, “200 thousand dollars!”
This declaration caused an immediate stir in the venue, as everyone turned to look in her direction.
Erika, however, just smiled confidently, as if victory was assured.
