The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 80

Megan and Jeanne couldn't believe it. They thought neither Nolan nor Audrey were worth 60 million dollars. So, they wondered what Nolan could possibly offer.

The only valuable thing they could think of was Audrey's fake Crystal of Devotion. They assumed that was what Nolan was planning to auction.

But when Nolan walked onto the stage and saw the paper and ink ready, Megan and Jeanne were stunned.

It wasn't just them. Everyone in the room was surprised. With everything set up and Nolan holding the brush, it was clear what he was going to do.

Still, it seemed crazy. Nobody had ever heard of Nolan Greene as an artist. Even if he were, could one piece of his work really be worth 60 million dollars?

Archie noticed the crowd's chatter and said with a smile, "Everyone, I know you're curious about what Mr. Greene is offering. It's a piece of art he made himself. I promise you'll be impressed. So, let's keep the energy up and bid generously."

To everyone, it seemed like Archie was just trying to avoid an awkward moment if nobody bid. He wanted to make sure the Baxter family didn't look bad.

One person from the crowd said, "Mr. Baxter, don't worry. This charity event should end on a high note. Even if Mr. Greene's art isn't great, I'll bid on it. It's for charity, so it doesn't matter what we buy."
