Hera was the host of the auction. So what if Charlotte wins the championship? She still doesn't have any connection.
Under normal circumstances, the host of a large-scale auction like that, organized by the higher-ups, no less, must be someone with considerable experience and a certain level of fame. The host should also be equipped with the eloquence to hold the audience and create a lively ambiance.
Most importantly, they must be able to persuade the guests to contribute to the fundraising.
That was the key.
Hera felt she would have a bright future ahead if she could impress the higher-ups with her performance. She had put in a lot of effort and made some sacrifices to secure the opportunity to host that event.
After landing the job, she gained a lot of attention. Before the auction officially started, she dressed up glamorously and rubbed shoulders with the big shots. Hera played the role of a social butterfly by relying on her gorgeous appearance and sweet voice.
Right then, there was a small and sudden commotion at the entrance.
She casually glanced in that direction and saw the crowd parting as a handsome man and a beautiful woman walked in.
That man was tall and hunky, while the woman was regal and elegant.
Behind her were another two couples. All of them dressed up extravagantly and were eye-catching.
When Hera noticed the familiar face, she gritted her teeth. Ashlyn! That despicable woman is also here. She even preened herself to look so attractive.
Ashlyn and Lucas rarely appeared as a couple in public.
That seemed to be their first public appearance together since they announced their relationship as husband and wife.
They immediately attracted everyone's attention as soon as they showed up, stealing even the limelight of the top idol, Jonathan.
Their presence instantaneously lifted the liveliness of the entire venue.
The higher-ups were honored to have Ashlyn and Lucas attending the event together, and perhaps only they had the influence to convince the couple to show up.
Participating in such activities that could express their support to the higher-ups and also be involved in a charity auction for disaster relief was a must.
