Upon seeing that Skylar was ignoring him, Largo straightened and sat ramrod straight even as he placed a hand on the button of his suit briefly.
The teddy bear was auctioned at a starting price of fifty thousand. Skylar didn’t raise her paddle since she had little money left after buying a house. She wanted to give to charity, but alas, she couldn’t afford it.
Never would she buy a teddy bear that she could purchase on Amazon for forty-five, considering the paltry savings in her bank card. Well, unless she lost her mind.
Nonetheless, she did understand that the significance was different.
Largo, however, raised his paddle and generously called out a bid of two hundred thousand.
Well, well… I can tell that he’ll definitely be breaking the bank tonight to establish his goody-goody image! Skylar reckoned.
Even after Largo had offered a bid of two hundred thousand, there were still others who upped his bid. But in the end, it was still him who won the bid. After going on stage, he declared in a gentle and pleasant voice, “This is all for public welfare and charity. The children in the mountainous areas are really pitiful. In the past year, I’ve built dozens of hope primary schools in hopes that the children can head toward a better future with their own efforts.”
As Skylar listened to his speech, she would’ve rolled her eyes if not for fear that the camera would capture it.
Wow, his ostentatiousness is truly impressive! Unlike those philanthropists who truly donate their riches, those hope primary schools he mentioned were built with the money raised by his fans every month. It was all his fans’ effort, and he didn’t put in a single penny, yet the credit went to him at the end of the day. Despite him putting on such a show, they maintained it without a single word of complaint, gushing about the kindness of their idol!
Since she was now in the eye of the storm, the live television director kept shifting the cameras on her.
Thus, she maintained a smile throughout it all. Despite the chagrin within her, she still had to applaud Largo and gracefully hug him when he stepped down from the stage since they were co-stars.
Meanwhile, the weasel was very careful about his image in the public. Even when they hugged, he gentlemanly held his hands a hair’s breadth away from her.
When Faith excused herself, Skylar finally couldn’t hold her silence anymore. Speaking without moving her mouth, she murmured, “There’s a character that’s tailored for you if you act in Hamlet.”
Hearing that, Largo arched an eyebrow. “Oh? And what character is that?”
“Claudius,” Skylar murmured.
In Hamlet, Claudius was a hypocrite of the highest order. But despite her snubbing him in such a roundabout way, Largo merely smiled instead of blowing his top. “You’re going down the drain before you’ve even risen to fame. Skylar, I don’t mind however you disdain me, but you’ve really wasted my good intentions. You’ve got such an excellent hand of cards, yet you’re playing them really badly. “Craig is coming back very soon, so you can opt for his son if you’re really so averse to him. To tell you the truth, Craig has plenty of women out there, all pandering to him. Money talks in the entertainment industry, so every single female celebrity is committed to finding a sugar daddy to back her up.”
“His son? Who do you mean?” Skylar questioned, latching on to that right away.
Having misunderstood that her interest had been piqued, Largo leaned in closer to her, so much so that they were almost touching. “Craig’s son is usually in Anglandur, but he’s coming back with him this time. He’s the epitome of young and rich.”
Upon seeing this scene, Tobias flung the binoculars in his hands away. I didn’t know when she became so close with Largo Zeller! Why does she keep talking to him, and why are they getting closer and closer by the minute?
Whipping out his cell phone, he gave Skylar a call.
However, his call couldn’t get through. In fact, Skylar didn’t even bring her cell phone along.
Frustrated, Tobias tossed his cell phone onto the sofa in his booth.
