Susan looked at the couple who hurried away and suddenly laughed softly, "I had a feeling that they would be unlucky recently. Now it seems that things are indeed a bit serious."
Selina glanced at Luke.
Luke acted as if nothing had happened: If someone stood up too hastily and tore her skirt, what does it have to do with me
Claire was interested: "How bad will their luck be?"
Susan pondered, as if she was trying to figure something out, and after a moment she whispered, "He probably won't die."
Claire was shocked: "So unlucky?"
Susan was also a little uncertain: "It's up to them. If they don't control themselves, they might end up in the hospital."
Selina glanced at Luke again.
Luke looked at her and blinked, which meant that he could talk slowly when he had time, so she didn't think about it anymore.
What was unexpected was that in less than ten minutes, Sasha and her male companion came back.
She found a suit from somewhere and put it on, which solved the problem of being exposed later.
After sitting down, she glared at Claire with considerable hatred.
But Claire didn't even look at her and just chatted with Selina and Susan.
Sasha wanted to say something, but then the last two people at the table arrived and the party officially began.
She wasn't crazy, so of course she didn't dare disrupt the party, so she could only hold back her anger.
There was nothing new about the evening.
Apart from the glamorous female stars present, it is not much different from other evening parties.
The hosts are a Los Angeles celebrity and a top female movie star. The celebrity brings up the topic, while the female star serves as a supporting actor and a vase.
The purpose of the fundraising was to help the disaster-stricken residents of San Francisco. The two men stepped down and a professional auctioneer came on stage to start the auction.
Luke felt that the simple and efficient process was pretty good. It would be annoying if there were too many inexplicable things.
More than ten minutes later, his thought changed.
It is still reasonable to accept debut commemorative records signed by celebrities, famous jewelry and special props from a certain movie.
Dinner invitations to beautiful or handsome stars, VIP concert tickets, etc., may sound a bit like "funeral cereal", but they are still acceptable.
Then there appeared a narrow "costume" worn by a big-name female star in a famous movie, with a special note saying "unwashed", which was outrageous.
He couldn't help but lower his voice and ask Claire: "What did you send to the auction?"
Claire noticed that he was staring at the "costume" on the stage and couldn't help but roll her eyes: "What are you thinking about? It's a hardcover collection of my songs that will be released on Christmas. It's numbered 001, and it has a personal signature and a designated blessing."
Luke felt relieved: Claire was still that good girl.
The evening is private, so most people won't overpay.
Some items were simply donated by the owners themselves and then bought back, and the auction went very quickly.
After all, there is a small performance to be held after the auction.
Many of the celebrities here will be performing, and the proceeds from the production and sales will be donated to the victims of the disaster in San Francisco, which is a way to kill two birds with one stone and make the best use of everything.
Claire's auction items and status were not high, so she was placed in front.
But what was embarrassing was that only two people raised their hands, and the price was only $1,100 (starting at $1,000, with a minimum increase of $100).
Claire was extremely depressed and secretly cursed the people here for being old-fashioned.
This record has special treatment with designated blessings, and it is not uncommon for true fans to pay thousands of dollars to buy it.
Luke felt her emotions and found them a little amusing, but he was ready to raise his hand.
Why not do it, as it gives my sister a way out and helps the victims of the disaster in San Francisco
Suddenly, Sasha, who was sitting at the same table, raised her hand, and the auctioneer immediately called out a price of 1,200 yuan.
Sasha turned her head and looked at Claire, with a smile on her face: "You have to write a good blessing for me later."
Claire's face changed. She didn't want to write any blessings to this brainless girl.
And this guy might take the opportunity to make trouble, which would be even more disgusting.
She wanted to raise her hand immediately, but Luke had already raised his hand and said a number: "12,000."
Sasha raised her hand reflexively.
Auctioneer: "12100, wow, it seems that Ms. P!nk's album is really popular."
As he said this, he was secretly cursing Sasha for being crazy.
He is not blind.
Luke was obviously with Claire, and quoting a high price was part of supporting the party, and the default rule was that this was the end of it.
Sasha raised her hand immediately. Wasn't this obviously a sign of trouble
Sasha raised her hand before she realized that Luke had increased the price tenfold.
She didn't feel bad about spending the ten thousand dollars, but everyone present probably understood her intentions toward Claire.
Luke didn't bother to look at her and raised his hand again: "120,000."
He takes the initiative in this matter - having money is the biggest initiative.
Sasha hesitated. One hundred and twenty thousand is not a small amount.
It's fine to let her spend the 120,000 yuan on wine, women and shopping, but to use it for charity... isn't it just feeding those poor dogs for nothing
But she found that among the four people over there, only Susan, the outsider, gave her a strange look. She was still a little unwilling and raised her hand again.
The auctioneer kept smiling: "US$120,100, this is an amazing price, it is Ms. Sasha's "eager" support for this charity gala..."
When he said the word "eagerly", his tone became more emphatic.
A bunch of people in the entertainment industry below immediately heard that this was a reminder to Sasha not to cause trouble during this charity fundraising.
This fundraising itself does not care about the hundreds or hundreds of thousands of donations, it is mainly to improve everyone's reputation.
If we really talk about money, many people here can donate millions easily, so how can it be the turn of a third-rate singer like Sasha to show off.
Sasha also heard it. She was not really stupid. She just didn't know why she suddenly disliked Claire and Luke opposite her and just wanted to "argue" with them.
Luke raised his hand again: "1.2 million."
Buzz buzz buzz!
Low whispers as quiet as those of mosquitoes and flies immediately sounded in the hall, and almost everyone was whispering to each other, knowing that Sasha had met a ruthless person.
There are many rich people here, but it is rare to throw out 1.2 million at once.
Besides, this private evening party was at most reported locally in New York, and the "cost-effectiveness" of the donation was definitely not high.
Luke raised the price crazily, completely using money to put Sasha on the spot.
She raised her hand again. Firstly, it might cost a lot of money, and secondly, it was a strong hint of provoking trouble.
No matter what she chooses, this matter will spread quickly in the circle and she will definitely be surrounded by a lot of negative comments.
Feeling the various looks from all around, Sasha finally didn't have the courage to make any more trouble.
Watching the auctioneer drop the hammer and declare that his sister's record belonged to him, Luke raised the corners of his mouth, leaned back in his chair, and crossed his legs.
This is not a show of wealth, but an open conspiracy of money.
It feels good to just spend a little money to force the provocateur into a dilemma where he can't fight back.
There were no more problems with the auction afterwards, and it was soon time for the performance.
Luke looked at Sasha and the other person who had just left the table and asked Claire, "Are they going to perform on stage too?"
Claire wasn't sure: "It seems so?"
Susan interrupted, "Yes, they showed off to me before you came."
Luke nodded thoughtfully: "That's good."
Susan was curious: "You want to see them sing?"
Luke raised the corner of his mouth: "Susan, you seemed to have said that they were going to the hospital?"
Susan was stunned and coughed lightly: "This..."
She usually doesn't tell people their bad luck because it sounds too much like a curse, but she let it slip accidentally just now.
Luke didn't wait for her to answer, but nodded to himself: "I think your calculation is correct. They will definitely have a bloody disaster tonight."
