Looking at the couple who left in a hurry, Susan suddenly chuckled. "I just felt that they were going to be unlucky. It seems that it's indeed a little serious."
Selina glanced at Luke.
Luke said nonchalantly, "What does it have to do with me if they tear their dress when they stand up in a hurry?"
Claire, however, was intrigued. "How unlucky will they be?"
Susan pondered for a moment, as if she was deducing something. A moment later, she said in a low voice, "They probably won't die."
Claire was shocked. "That unlucky?"
Susan wasn't sure either. "That depends on them. If they don't restrain themselves, they might end up in the hospital. "
Selina glanced at Luke again.
Luke winked at her, implying that they could talk when they had time, so she didn't think too much about it.
Unexpectedly, in less than ten minutes, Sha Xia and her male companion returned.
She had found a dress somewhere and changed into it, which solved the problem of being exposed later on.
After sitting down, she glared at Claire with hatred in her eyes.
Claire, however, didn't look at her at all, and chatted with Selina and Susan.
Sasha wanted to say something, but the last two people at the table arrived, and the party officially began.
She wasn't crazy, and naturally didn't dare disrupt the party, so she could only hold back her anger.
There was nothing new about the party.
Other than the glamorous female stars present, it was not much different from other galas.
The hosts were a Los Angeles celebrity and an A-list female movie star. The celebrity asked the questions, and the female star acted as a supporting character.
After deciding that the purpose of the fundraiser was to help the victims of the disaster in San Francisco, they left the stage, and a professional auctioneer took the stage to start the auction.
Luke was satisfied with the simple and efficient process; it would be annoying if there were too many strange things.
More than ten minutes later, his thoughts changed.
Autographed debut albums, famous jewelry and special props from certain movies, and so on were reasonable.
Dinner invitations from beautiful or handsome stars and VIP tickets to concerts were a little like "funeral cereal," but barely passable.
Then, there was a small "costume" worn by a big female star in a famous movie, which was marked "unwashed," which was outrageous.
He couldn't help but ask Claire in a low voice, "What did you send to the auction?"
Claire saw him staring at the "costume" on the stage and couldn't help but roll her eyes. "What are you thinking about? It's a hardcover compilation of my songs that went on sale at Christmas, number 001. It has my autograph and designated blessings. "
Luke was relieved. Claire was still a good kid.
The party was private, so most people would not raise the price too much.
Some of the items were simply donated by the owner and then bought back, so the auction speed was very fast.
After all, there was still a small performance to be held after the auction.
Many of the celebrities present will perform on the stage, and the proceeds from the production and sales will also be donated to the victims of the disaster in San Francisco. It can be said that one fish can eat more and make the best use of everything.
Claire's auction item and status were not high, so she was placed first.
But what was embarrassing was that only two people raised their hands, and the price was only 1,100 USD (the starting bid was 1,000 USD, and the minimum bid increment was 100 USD).
Claire was so depressed that she cursed in her heart that the people here were all old-fashioned.
This record had the special treatment of designated blessings. It was not unusual for true fans to spend thousands of dollars to buy it.
Sensing her emotions, Luke was a little amused, but he still raised his hand.
He could give his sister a way out and help the victims of the disaster in San Francisco, so why not?
Suddenly, Sasha raised her hand, and the auctioneer immediately shouted a price of 1,200 USD.
Sasha turned her head to look at Claire with a smile. "You have to write a good blessing for me later."
Claire's expression changed. She didn't want to write any blessings for this brainless girl.
Also, this girl might take the opportunity to cause trouble, which would be even more disgusting.
She immediately wanted to raise her hand, but Luke had already raised his hand and said a number. "12000."
Sasha reflexively raised her hand.
The auctioneer said, "12100. Wow, looks like it's worth it! Ms. NK's album is really popular. "
As he said that, he secretly cursed Sasha for being a psycho.
He wasn't blind.
Luke was clearly with Claire. Making a high bid was a show of support for the party, and that was the default rule.
Sasha immediately raised her hand. Wasn't this clearly causing trouble?
It wasn't until Sasha raised her hand that she realized Luke had directly raised the price tenfold.
She didn't feel bad about the ten thousand dollars, but everyone present knew what he was trying to do to Claire.
Luke couldn't be bothered to look at her. He raised his hand again. "120,000."
He had the upper hand in this matter. Money was the biggest advantage.
Sasha hesitated. 120,000 wasn't a small number.
It was fine for her to spend 120,000 on a shopping spree, but for charity … wouldn't it be feeding those poor dogs for nothing?
But when she saw that Susan, an outsider, was the only one who was looking at her strangely, she was still a little unwilling and raised her hand again.
The auctioneer maintained his smile. "120,100 dollars. This is an astonishing price. This is Ms. Sasha's' fervent 'support for this charity party …"
He emphasized the word eagerness.
The people in the entertainment industry immediately understood that he was warning Sasha not to cause trouble at the charity fundraiser.
The fundraiser itself didn't care about the money; it was mainly for everyone's reputation.
In terms of money, many people here could easily donate millions. Sasha, a third-rate singer, wouldn't have the chance to show off.
Sasha could also tell. She wasn't really stupid, but for some reason, she suddenly didn't like Claire and Luke, and just wanted to "fight" them.
Luke raised his hand again. "1.2 million."
Buzz! Buzz!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! The hall was filled with whispers. Almost everyone was whispering to each other, knowing that Sasha had run into someone tough.
There were a lot of rich people here, but it was rare for them to throw out 1.2 million at once.
Besides, this was a private party that would at most be reported in New York, and the "cost-effectiveness" of the donation definitely wouldn't be high.
Luke raised the price crazily, using money to roast Sasha over a fire.
If she raised her hand again, she might spend a lot of money, and it would be very obvious that she was causing trouble.
No matter what she chose, this matter would soon spread in the circle, and she wouldn't be able to escape a lot of negative comments.
Sensing all kinds of gazes on her, Sasha finally lost the courage to cause trouble.
Watching the auctioneer drop the gavel and announce that his sister's record was his, Luke smiled and leaned back in his chair. He even crossed his legs.
This wasn't showing off his wealth, but an overt scheme for money.
It felt good to be able to force the provocateur into a predicament where she couldn't fight back with just a bit of money.
There were no more tricks in the auction after that, and it was soon time for the performance.
Luke looked at Sasha and Claire, who had just left the table, and asked Claire, "Are they going to perform on stage too?"
Claire wasn't sure. "I think so, right?"
Susan interjected, "Yes, they were already showing off to me before you came."
Luke nodded thoughtfully. "That's good."
Susan was curious. "You want to see them sing?"
Luke smiled. "Susan, didn't you just say that they were going to the hospital?"
Stumped for a moment, Susan coughed. "Well …"
She usually didn't calculate people's bad luck, as it was too much of a curse, but she had accidentally let it slip just now.
Luke, however, didn't wait for her to answer. He simply nodded and said, "I think you're right. They'll definitely be in for a bloody disaster tonight."
