Chapter 475: A Dance, 5 Million!
It’s just a pity that the arm she’s holding isn’t his.Her lips were smiling, her eyes bright, showing that she had received great care during her convalescence. Jorge Saxton must have been very fond of her, which was good, it put his mind at ease.
Arlo Seys’s eyes deepened, and a faint smile spread across his lips.
That’s great, Ariel, your smile is still there, so ----- let me handle the rest.
Arlo Seys stood by the window, watching Ariel Morris down at the venue, and brought the red wine in the goblet to his lips, drinking it all in one go.
The charity gala sparkled, starlight dazzling alongside the socialites and business elites moving throughout the venue, making the whole gala a scene of elegance and grace.
Ariel Morris walked through the gala holding Jorge Saxton’s arm, politely interacting with the business guests who approached them. Mostly it was Jorge Saxton handling the conversations, while Ariel Morris stood beside him with a smile on her face.
Jorge Saxton mingled in the crowd, talking and laughing, a graceful smile on his face, exuding confidence and vigor. Ariel Morris wore a gentle smile, never leaving his side. With Jorge Saxton’s status and their own striking looks, the pair became the most dazzling presence at the gala!
Whether on the red carpet or now, everyone was very curious about Ariel Morris’s identity, and discussions and speculations arose.
Some guessed she was the chief secretary of Summit International, others guessed she was the future wife of Summit International’s CEO, and still others speculated she was the new star that Halo Media Group intended to promote!
In contrast, Susan Saxton, Howard Saxton, and Scarlett Morris were much cooler in their corner, the six eyes among the three of them filled with jealousy and hatred as they watched Jorge Saxton and Ariel Morris.
"I’m going to find a dance partner for later. Watching Jorge Saxton just makes me angry!" Howard Saxton downed a glass of red wine and threw a sarcastic glance at Jorge Saxton, who was mingling happily.
Saying that, Howard Saxton started weaving through the gala, searching for a target. Soon, his gaze was drawn to a beautiful figure in a flower fairy series long dress.
A smile curved at Howard Saxton’s lips; it was Lydia Brooke, the rising popular star.
Howard Saxton walked over, adjusted his clothes, and struck up a conversation: "I wonder if I have the honor to invite you for a dance?"
Lydia Brooke, who was talking to someone, turned her head, looked at him, and directly refused: "No."
Howard Saxton’s expression instantly turned awkward; no one had ever refused him so outright! His face showed some displeasure as he directly offered: "A dance, five million."
The people who had been talking with Lydia Brooke began to murmur, and Lydia Brooke’s face showed some discomfort. As an artist, being publicly bid upon easily led to insinuations that she had risen through the ranks via unspoken rules!
Lydia Brooke’s eyes turned cold, intending to leave wearing her high heels; it was clear to anyone looking that Howard Saxton was just another spoiled rich kid, better to avoid offending him if possible.
Seeing her about to leave, Howard Saxton extended his arm to block her path, "Pretending you don’t want it! Isn’t it just that the money is too little? I can add more! Tell me, how much do you want! I have it!"
Lydia Brooke shot a cold glance at the nouveau riche aura and tone of Howard Saxton, retorting: "It’s not about the money, I never deal with people reeking of vulgarity! It’s disgusting!"
Lydia Brooke’s unrelenting words were a provocation and satire to Howard Saxton, who had grown up praised by everyone under the Saxton Family’s aura, and his proud nature couldn’t tolerate it. He raised his hand to swing at Lydia Brooke.
Wearing high heels, Lydia Brooke hurriedly stepped back to evade.
Suddenly, someone stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Lydia Brooke’s waist, instantly catching Howard Saxton’s descending wrist and clamped down tightly, eyes sharp as blades.
"Jorge Saxton!!" Howard Saxton gritted his teeth.
Was this intentional or not?! Jorge Saxton was deliberately making things difficult for him! Even when he wanted to teach a lesson to a female star, Jorge had to intervene!!
