My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 445

Chapter 445 The Old House Auction

As soon as the host finished speaking, the crowd began to stir.

The host looked satisfied and continued, "Before the auction begins, let's welcome Mr. Markel to give a few words."

The light suddenly dimmed. Then, when it lit up again, there was another person on the stage.

Markel was dressed in a black formal suit. Standing under the white light, he was so dazzling. His handsome and gentle facial features hid his usual fierceness, which made him look more refined. As soon as Markel appeared, the female guests in the guest seats screamed in a low voice.

Victoria had to admit that Markel was charming.

Markel's mellow voice came through the sound, echoing in the large auction hall, and Victoria felt familiar and strange.

"First of all, thank you for coming to today's charity auction to let me see your enthusiasm for charity. To be honest, this old house is not my own property, but I auction it today, so I'm really ashamed of everyone's praise."

"Everyone knows that the old house is my third grandfather's ancestral property, and does not understand my actions. May be someone feels that it's a little unfilial to auction off the ancestral property of my family. But I want to say that the real inheritance is not about these superficial worldly possessions, but rather, we should remember the ancestral teachings in our minds, knowing what is gentle and modest and practicing it !"

"Maybe no one knows that I was also an autism child a long time ago. At that time, I was in an orphanage near Eqitin, and I lived like a machine. I was really desperate. It was not until my third grandpa came to the orphanage to inspect and took me away that my life was bright."

He paused, as if he was thinking about the past, and his voice was a little low.

After a while, he continued, "So, I hope that when I have the ability, I can help others more and help the autism children like me in the past. Let those autism children know that there are still many people caring about them. Let them know as long as they are willing to work hard, they can have a happy life!"

After saying that, the applause was thunderous.

All the guests in the auction hall seemed to be moved by Markel's words.

Victoria sat in the corner and touched her wet face.

She smiled sarcastically and reached out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.

"Thank you for Markel's speech. Markel's words make us learn a lot!"

The host came to the stage in time, and said loudly, "Now, the auction starts. This old house is located at the foot of the Seventh Mountain. The nearby scenery is very good, suitable for vacation leisure. The starting price is 1 million dollars, 10 thousand dollars per time. The auction begins!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, someone began to bid.

"1 million and 40 thousand dollars!"

"1 million and 60 thousand dollars!"

"1 million and 100 thousand dollars!"

"1, 120, 000 dollars!"

"1, 120, 000 dollars!"

Everyone knew that this old house didn't have any business value, so the bidding was very low.

Suddenly, a cool voice came from the corner.

"1, 200, 000 dollars!"

Everyone didn't notice that there was another person sitting in the corner of the back row. They couldn't help but turn their heads and look over. However, the light was dim and they could only see a fuzzy and slender figure. Judging from the voice, the person should be a young lady.

Someone immediately raised the price. "1, 240, 000 dollars!"

"1, 400, 000 dollars!" The lady in the corner made a prompt decision.

"1, 440, 000 dollars!"

Victoria Kaur continued, "1, 600, 000 dollars!"

At this moment, a young woman sitting in the front row suddenly ringed the bidder.

"2, 000, 000 dollars!"

Victoria Kaur stood up irritably.

It was very dark in the hall, but from where she stood, Victoria Kaur could still see the beautiful side face of the lady and her confident smile under the wavy hair. Although the lady sat in the crowd, she was still way above the common.

Kate?
