His Ugly Bride (Anna and Sebastian) novel Chapter 719

Summer didn't respond to that, but it served her well to say, "Mr. Trevin, I am very grateful for your help."

Trevin was indeed very interested in her, so he was on the lookout for any opportunity.

"Ms. Summer, if you are really grateful, maybe we can have a drink after the party," said Trevin in a gentle voice as he was vaguely smiling.

Summer smiled faintly, "I live far away. It's too late when the party ends and I may have trouble going back. So, let's do it another day."

Trevin's smile faded. But soon he recovered with a gentle smile. "OK, Ms. Summer. Let's do it another day."

Trevin was a little unhappy that Summer rejected his invitation. But Summer was beautiful enough to worth more time and efforts.

"Then I'll go first," Summer nodded at Trevin and then returned to the venue.

Trevin stood still, watching Summer disappear. Then he looked back and stamped his feet lightly. He stopped smiling and said, "Come out."

After he finished speaking, Stanley, who had been hiding behind him, walked out.

Stanley walked over to Trevin and shouted, "Trevin!"

Trevin glanced at him, but before he could say anything, Stanley said, "Are you interested in Summer?"

Trevin carried his one hand in his pocket and said indifferently, "Isn't it obvious?"

"You'd better stay away from Summer. She's different from any of your ex-girlfriends," said Stanley in a tone of warning.

"Different?" Trevin sneered. "Why? Is it because she was divorced? What's the big deal?

It doesn't matter."

Trevin was deliberately misinterpreting Stanley's words.

Stanley frowned slightly and said, "You know that's not what I meant. Summer is very smart. She has an ax to grind."

Trevin became cold. "Stanley, I know my father admires you, but you have to remember you're adopted. Do you really think you're my brother? Why are you always meddling in my business? Are you in a position to do that?"

"Dad told me to keep an eye on you. He's afraid that you would mess around." Stanley's eyes flashed, but he didn't show his anger.

"Don't think that I don't know you've also taken a fancy to Summer." Trevin patted Stanley's shoulder and said, "Since you haven't gotten her, let me do it. Besides, stop meddling in my business. You don't have to do that when my father was still alive, let alone that he had died."

As he spoke, he tilted his head and raised his chin. "Do you understand?"

Stanley remained silent. Trevin snorted and left.

When she returned to the venue, Summer found that there were more and more people. She looked around and saw Eliza. Eliza was talking to someone, so Summer did not go over but sat in a corner.

At this time, someone walked onto the stage with the microphone in hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this charity gala. Next is the charity auction...."

Everyone looked in the direction of the host, and Summer looked up curiously. There was a charity auction? Some people whispered about the items for the auction.

At this time, Eliza came back to Summer.

As soon as she came over, Eliza asked, "Where is Mr. Stanley?"

"He has left." Summer did not explain much and only said three words.

She was more curious about the upcoming auction. "What will be auctioned tonight?"

"Twelve million!"

"Thirteen million!"

"Fourteen million..."

They all raised the price by one million dollars.

Summer was in a constant state of amazement. It was indeed a game of the rich.

The price kept increasing, but it was very regular, which meant that they really wanted this brooch.

Suddenly, a deep voice said, "Fifty million."

Summer could not be more familiar with this voice. It was Leonardo's voice.

Summer looked over. Leonardo sat on a chair not far from the stage, his legs crossed. He was looking at the stage expressionlessly.

After Leonardo named his price, no one dared to say anything.

"Fifty million! Any more bid?"

"Fifty million first!"

Another voice said, "Sixty million!"

Before Summer could see who bid for it, Eliza exclaimed, "Oh my God! Isn't that the man who talked to you before? Why is he sitting with Mr. Stanley?"

"Trevin?" Summer followed Eliza's gaze and saw Trevin sitting with Stanley.
