Chapter 2307
There was no lively scene to watch anymore, and everyone withdrew their gaze. Snow stared at Nicole in disbelief.
Although she was determined to win, she felt no satisfaction in winning when she saw Nicole's expression.
"Miss, this is the peace buckle you bid for. Please settle the account backstage after the event. Thank you for your contribution to the charity.” The hostess politely reminded Snow before leaving.
Staring at the jade peace buckle, Snow felt like she had just woken up from a dream. How could she lose her sanity like that? She bid 3 million dollars, but her father had only given her a budget of 2 million dollars. How was she going to deal with the extra 1 million dollars?
Finally regaining her composure, Snow's face turned pale, showing a look of despair.
"Next, we will present another charity auction item..."
The charity event continued, but Snow could not focus on anything anymore. Her eyes were fixed on the peace buckle, and she was lost in her thoughts.
Finally, the event ended, and the guests began to leave one after another, settling the accounts for the items they had bid on.
Nicole and Jared settled the account for the necklace and returned to their seats. They found Snow still sitting there in a daze, and a smirk appeared on Nicole's lips.
"Did you expect that she didn't have enough money to settle the account?" Lawrence's voice sounded in Nicole's ear.
She turned to look at him with a smile. "You're still here?"
"While I didn't win anything, I did make a donation," Lawrence replied, indicating that he had just come backstage.
"Oh, you're leaving now," Nicole said, not asking further.
"Yeah," Lawrence said as he prepared to leave as well.
She could not possibly abandon the bid. That would make her the laughingstock of all of San Joto. If she bid for an item at a charity auction and then abandoned it, it would be like telling everyone that she regretted it because she could not afford it.
Even if she would get scolded by her father, she had to take the peace buckle home.
Helpless, Snow made a call while walking, asking Dillon to transfer the money to her.
After getting scolded, Snow ultimately got the money and left with the peace buckle.
Outside, she looked at the dim night sky, clenching her teeth in anger.
After coming to her senses, Snow realized she had been fooled by Nicole. She had lost three million dollars, and just thinking about it made her blood boil. If she had not been impulsive at that moment, she would not have suffered such a big loss.
Now, even Harvey had abandoned her, leaving her feeling like she had lost everything.
