Chapter 226
Just as Charmine was thinking of ways to resolve the crisis, Mr. Kingston received a text. Once he read the text, he said to the camera, “My apologies, but I won’t sell this gown anymore as someone’s buying it for ten billion. Ten billion bucks.”
Ten billion bucks?!
“How is that possible? Who’d spend ten billion to buy this foolish gown?” whined Kelly Milan in her high-pitched voice,
Mr. Kingston’s brows furrowed in displeasure. “And this is customer’s privacy, which I’ll never disclose. Ms. Milan, please mind your attitude. That’s the end of today’s auction. Goodbye.”
With that, he left the platform, and the live-streaming auction endeďas he turned it off.
Kelly Milan felt waves of white-hot anger within her. Was this old man actually asking her to mind her attitude? He merely made a foolish gown, so what rights did he have to tell her off? H e was the one going against the rules in the first place! Still, what annoyed her most was the two people: One called against her on the platform, while the other one secretly bought the gown with ten billion!
“Go and find out who these two people are,” yelled Kelly Milan to her assistant, “right away!”
Meanwhile, Charmine tried to find out who could have spent ten billion on this gown. Since M r. Kingston was a man of his word, it did not add up that he suddenly changed his mind and sold it to someone else at a higher price after he promised the gown to Charmine. Was Mr. Kingston a man who treasured money more than his promises?
That could not be; something must have happened behind the scenes. Still, she could not find out the buyer’s identity even after using her resources.
