Destined to Love You

Chapter 83 Located Claudia

Echo stood in the spotlight and immediately drew the attention of everyone.

“Can everyone please settle down? The party will begin soon.”

He winked at Angelia and then took care of others.

Every year, the host of the SH Charity Party will be the most popular actress of that year. Though they

are used to seeing movie stars, their eyes lit up when they saw Echo.

There aren’t many attendees of the SH Charity Party but every year it will raise tens of millions of

dollars in donations.

These monies were raised by auctioning off the items donated by some guests. When the evening

ends, the monies will be donated to charities and build a primary school.

Jonathan gave his number sign to Angelia.

Very quickly, an oil painting was brought up and was donated by a movie star.

With a microphone in hand, Echo was in his element and the atmosphere of the auction became lively.

Angelia was shocked to see that each time the guests raised their number sign, the price would rise by

a hundred thousand. In a few minutes, the price of the painting went to a million.

She looked at the painting on the stage and couldn’t figure how that could be worth so much.

Jonathan saw her expression and said, “You want that?”

Angelia was quick to shake her hand to say no.

“Is the painter both an actor and an artist?”

“No.” Jonathan laughed and pointed to an actress who was in a red dress.

“This is only for show and publicity. No one came for charity. They are here for the publicity.” He

smirked and laughed coldly.

“Then what about you?” Angelia looked at him.

Jonathan calmly said in arrogance, “My reputation is not given by others.”

Very soon, the painting was bought for two million dollars. The second auction item was brought

forward.

Angelia observed and noticed that the people here weren’t concerned by the auction item. The higher

the status of the item’s donor, the higher the auction price will be.

Very soon it reached the end of the auction and even Angela instructed Zach to buy two items.

Angelia didn’t move until the last auction item was carefully brought onto the stage.

The covering cloth was lifted and on the white tray was a QU Stone paperweight.

The spotlight shone onto the precious item and the whole stage glittered.

Angelia’s eyes lit up and even from afar, this was no ordinary paperweight.

True enough, being the highlight of the Charity event, everyone became excited.

Those who had an interest in antiques immediately became enticed by it.

Angelia observed carefully. Jonathan looked at her and saw her eyes sparkle. She was looking at the

paperweight like a cat looking at a bird.

Some people were already calling out the prices but she didn’t raise her hand.

In the blink of an eye, the price raised to five million dollars. The number of bidders reduced and it was

about to be sold.

Suddenly, Jonathan raised Angelia’s hand. Echo looked at their hands and stared in disbelief.

“Six million!” A deep and confident voice raised the price by a million.

Angelia was stunned and looked at him. Jonathan smiled.

“Don’t you want it?”

Jonathan continued, “This is for my publicity.” He smirked with a mischievous expression.

Then he whispered into Angelia’s ears, “Have I given you a gift?”

Angelia was stunned and her ears were buzzing.

“No.”

“Then this will be the first one.” Jonathan raised his hand again.

“Ten million!”

The rowdy crowd went silent immediately.

At ten million, it was the highest auction item price in the history of SH Charity Party!

Furthermore, this was the first time Jonathan attended the charity and his first time at an auction.

At this price, no one else challenged his bid.

Echo’s expression calmed down and with a hammer of the gavel, the final price was fixed.

The paperweight was carefully wrapped and Jonathan didn’t even bother to look at it and handed it

over to Angelia.

“Take it, don’t lose it.”

A paperweight valued at ten million dollars was in her hands. How can she lose it?

Any knock will greatly depreciate its value.

“This thing is too valuable, I can’t…”

Jonathan’s expression changed.

“Take it.”

Some people began to come over to introduce themselves as soon as the auction was over.

Jonathan didn’t want to bother but in the end, he couldn’t help it.

“I’ll wait for you here,” Angelia said.

Jonathan didn’t want to leave her alone considering that Echo was around.

And Angelia had the paperweight in her hands and didn’t want to leave her seat. She was afraid that it

may be damaged if she went with Jonathan to mingle with the crowd.

Jonathan didn’t have a choice and said, “Don’t go anywhere, if someone were to drive you out, I…”

“I won’t say that it’s you who brought me in.”

Angelia completed his sentence but didn’t expect his expression to change for the worse.

“How dare you! Tell them my name and no one will dare to touch you.”

He left after that warning.

Angelia stood quietly in position but she was dying to unwrap the paperweight to inspect it.

Angela leaned onto Zach and kept looking towards Jonathan and Angelia.

Once she saw Jonathan leave, she dragged Zach towards him.

“Let’s go over there for a look.”

Zach saw that she was pointing to the garden and sheepishly agreed as he held onto Angela’s waist.

“Okay, okay, let’s go over.”

Once they were in the middle of the garden, Zach couldn’t wait anymore and lunged towards her.

Angela hated his advance but acted as she was shy. Her eyes continued to search her surroundings.

Her expression changed as soon as she saw Jonathan.

Zach was all over her and his smelly mouth continued to kiss her neck.

Angela didn’t struggle but the next moment, she yelled for help.

“Help! Zach, don’t do this!”

“No! Please help me!”

Jonathan was discussing business with the director of Deep Blue and heard the cry for help and turned NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

to look.

Angela was pressed onto a chair by Zach and was crying and shouting.

At the other end, Angelia was still standing where she was, her hands carefully holding onto the box

with the paperweight.

Suddenly someone gently tugged on her.

Angelia turned and it was Echo.

“Angelia.” He whispered loud enough that no else could hear.

“Echo?”

Echo looked around and said softly, “I found Claudia.”
