Whitney Collins was biting her nails angrily, completely disregarding her usual ladylike demeanor.
Who was that woman, and why was she appearing next to Matthew when Whitney was the only one who was allowed to be by his side?
Not to mention, the person responsible for arranging the seating this time must have been a fool. Why would they place her seat so far away from Matthew's when they grew up together? They should have seated her closer to him.
What would others think if they saw her sitting this far away from him?
She would have to talk to Madam Leon when she got back. The person responsible for the seating today was done for!
With those thoughts in mind, Whitney stood up from her seat with the intention of walking over to Matthew.
She did not care what anyone said. Matthew belonged to her, so she should be the one sitting beside him.
However, the auction suddenly began, so Whitney had no choice but to sit back down. She would draw too much attention if she left her seat while everyone was bidding.
She did not want others to think of her as rude, even though she had already given that impression earlier.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the annual charity auction has begun. This year, the auction is organized by Leon Corporation, and we’re very grateful for their generosity in making this happen.”
Applause filled the room as Matthew stood up, nodded to everyone, and sat back down.
Beside him, Lucy’s eyes sparkled as she clapped along proudly. She found it hard to believe that he was her husband.
Once the applause died down, the auctioneer continued, “Now that the formalities are out of the way, let’s move on to the main event.
"First up, we have Mermaid Tears, a sapphire necklace designed by the world-renowned jewelry designer, Hugh Yurman.”
A sapphire necklace in the shape of a teardrop was displayed on the platform.
