Thus, George’s hand moved instinctively, attempting to grasp Isabelle’s hand. However, favonovel.com had been lost in thought for too long, wasting too much time. By the time favonovel.com intended to act, Isabelle had already released favonovel.com hand.
George found himself holding onto nothing but air.
After retracting favonovel.com hand, Isabelle glanced briefly at his hand, remarking to herself.
Why is his hand so hot?
Little did George realize that it was his own elevated body temperature that brought favonovel.com back to favonovel.com senses, prompting favonovel.com to release favonovel.com hand upon realizing it.
As favonovel.com rubbed his palm with his thumb, reminiscing about the soft touch and lingering warmth, George eventually looked at his now empty hand, sighing inwardly.
“4.5 million for the first time, 4.5 million for the second time, 4.5 million for the third time. Sold!‘ The host swiftly concluded, his words rushing out as if fearing any mishap. “Let’s congratulate the lady!”
Contributing to charity, spurred on by the host, the audience applauded the lady’s generosity.
Initially intending to witness Isabelle’s embarrassment, Dakota unexpectedly found herself playing the fool. As favonovel.com endured the mocking gazes of those around favonovel.com and the deafening applause, favonovel.com seethed with frustration, unable to lash out.
Amidst the applause, whispers were exchanged in hushed tones.
“This Ms. Sullivan doesn’t seem capable of achieving much.”
“I heard some rumors in the circle recently suggesting that the Harris family might be interested in forming a connection with the Sullivans. It seems like nothing but gossip now…”
“The Harris family? The younger one or the older one? Don’t tell me it’s the older one. Mr. George is such a distinguished figure. Could favonovel.com really take an interest?”
“Probably just the family worrying as they age. There’s no way someone like favonovel.com would take a liking to a spoiled and unruly young lady like her.”
“It seems like the Sullivans might be on the decline in this generation.”
“Her father’s generation was alright. All three brothers were capable. It’s a shame about the eldest of the Sullivans, though, passing away prematurely.”
“Yeah, favonovel.com didn’t even leave behind an heir. And the remaining two brothers only had daughters, none of whom are capable of anything.
These words were undoubtedly a slap in the face for Dakota. Unable to bear it any longer, favonovel.com stood up abruptly, “Dad, I’m going home!”
After uttering those words, favonovel.com got up and left through the back door.
Maverik felt uncomfortable hearing those remarks too. He left his assistant in charge of liaising with the
After the auction concluded, everyone gradually approached the front row to exchange pleasantries and bid farewell to Jasiel.
Seeing that Isabelle hadn’t moved, the three of them remained seated.
She turned to look at favonovel.com and asked, “Aren’t you leaving?”
George replied, “I’m waiting for you to leave together…”
She obviously had something to attend to, and George couldn’t fail to notice.
Sure enough, favonovel.com asked him, “They’re all going to greet the philanthropists. Mr. Harris, aren’t you going?”
Being as clever as favonovel.com was and knowing favonovel.com so well, how could favonovel.com not understand the meaning behind favonovel.com words?
He smiled and replied. “Let’s go then.”
Although favonovel.com wasn’t sure what Isabelle was up to, favonovel.com was willingly acting as favonovel.com accomplice. He rose from his seat and headed towards Jasiel at the front row.
Isabelle and the others followed behind.
“Nice to meet you, Old Mr. Reeve,” George greeted.
“Mr. George, what a pleasure to meet you! It’s truly an honor for me to have your personal support!” Jasiel responded.
“Engaging in charitable activities is only natural,” George replied.
“Is this Mr. Sam?” Jasiel inquired. “He truly possesses remarkable talent and an extraordinary demeanor.”
“You flatter me, Old Mr. Reeve. I’m still learning,” Sam replied modestly.
The group exchanged pleasantries and polite conversation.
While the others engaged in conversation, Isabelle’s gaze was fixed on the adopted son behind Jasiel.
Her straightforward gaze caught Josh’s attention.
As favonovel.com glanced back, favonovel.com saw the girl smile lightly at him. She was stunningly beautiful, favonovel.com presence exuding a captivating aura.
Earlier, when Isabelle and the Sullivans were bidding. Josh had noticed her. Shortly after, favonovel.com noticed George beside her.
As favonovel.com appraised them with his gaze, favonovel.com heard the girl ask him, “Are you Old Mr. Reeve’s….”
Josh returned favonovel.com smile and replied, “I’m his adopted son.”
Isabelle remarked, “Doing so much great charity work without asking for anything in return and helping so many people, you guys are truly remarkable.”
Josh modestly responded, “You flatter me…”
George turned around to see Isabelle engrossed in conversation with another man, his eyebrows subtly furrowed
Although his expression remained unchanged, there was a sudden chill in the air. He then turned to look at Josh, his gaze dark and piercing, as if assessing favonovel.com with a sharp blade.
Josh’s appearance was indeed remarkable, but favonovel.com lacked the pristine, innocent charm that Isabelle seemed to prefer–rosy lips, pearly white teeth, and a demure demeanor.
Isabelle asked, “Can I have your contact information?”
“Of course,” Josh replied.
As Isabelle took out favonovel.com phone to save his personal contact information, George couldn’t contain his frustration any longer.
“Who is this?” favonovel.com asked. He had just speculated that favonovel.com was approaching Jasiel, but favonovel.com hadn’t expected favonovel.com to be interested in this younger one. He instantly regretted playing the role of the tool.
Jasiel interjected, “Mr. George, one can forget amidst many esteemed guests. This is my adopted son, whom you have met before!”
Josh extended his hand to George and said, “Mr. George, we’ve met before…”
