Meanwhile, in the ballroom.
There were more than four hundred people inside, and it wasn't noisy at all. Rather, the place was completely silent.
Officially, there were two hundred participants participating in the auction, with two hundred more accompanying them. In addition, there were ten back-up candidates ready to fill in any time.
They saw many familiar figures among themselves. The strict discipline of the venue required them to only gesture to each other with their eyes and nod while maintaining absolute silence, even if they saw their acquaintances.
They looked at the digital clock hanging on the wall. The time was already 7.40 p.m.,
and the crowd was impatient for the auction to start. There were still twenty minutes to go. Twenty minutes later, a violent fight with money as weapons would set off officially!
Just then, the entrance of the venue opened and a beautiful young woman in a white satin cheongsam strode elegantly into the venue.
Her appearance elicited a cry of surprise from the crowd.
These tycoons present had seen and experienced much, but rarely did they have the opportunity to see such a stunning oriental beauty.
This woman exuding an unparalleled oriental temperament was none other than Jasmine, the chairman of Moore Group.
While she was initially a little nervous, she
had become much more relaxed after Charlie's encouragement.
The majority of people who attended the auction had no clue of the organizer's arrangements. Thus, they didn't even know that there were VIPs at the auction tonight.
Jasmine began the introductions. "The first guest is the esteemed Lady Aliza Elliot, Queen of Northern Europe who had recently abdicated the throne!"
Meanwhile, the old queen was pacing back and forth nervously outside the entrance.
Jeremiah, the head of the Wade family, and Chandler, the Feng Shui master, were standing beside her.
Jeremiah and Chandler were naturally old acquaintances, and both of them were seeing each other after quite a long time. They originally had a lot to say to one another, but since the old queen was right next to them, they simply greeted each other and didn't say much.
