Secrets Of The Sullivan Sisters by Ada Leonard

Chapter 88

“15 million dollars?”

The room erupted into chao’s as people turned to see who had placed the bid.

Everyone looked over and saw Caroline.

Caroline was still standing in that distant corner, with a 15-million-dollar auction paddle in her hand.

Caroline was at a loss when she felt their curious gazes upon her

She felt a little wrong. She had only been sitting back and watching the auction unfold. It wasn’t Caroline who raised the bidding paddle. She refused to participate in this foolish battle to buy a chance to dance with Nathan.

The bid came from someone who stood beside Caroline, who had quickly hidden their paddle and fled the scene when their sign with 15 million dollars was noticed.

Hence, everyone assumed Caroline was the one who had placed a bid of 15 million dollars.

Caroline was dumbfounded.

However, it was too late. The damage had been done. “Miss, did you bid 15 million dollars? Come on over. Please step forward and stand in front of Nathan,” the host announced. With that, he eagerly took Caroline by the hand and brought her to the stage.

Dizzy from the bright lights of the chandeliers above her head, Caroline stumbled on her feet as she was dragged toward the stage. She made her long way down the red carpet and came to a stop in front of Nathan.

Caroline looked into Nathan’s handsome face.

He stood tall and straight, with the most influential people of Yarwood behind him, all looking at Caroline.

As they locked eyes, Caroline panicked, thinking it was too late to explain. “Mr. Faraday, I…”

“Do you want to dance with me?” Nathan interrupted her in a low voice.

Nathan’s words caught Caroline off guard, leaving her at a loss for words.

Wrenna’s jaw dropped as things took a sharp turn. The chance to dance with Nathan could have been realized had Caroline not offered 15 million dollars.

“15 million dollars from an ugly woman from the countryside?” Wrenna sneered inwardly.

“Carol,” Wrenna said immediately. “Stop being ridiculous. How will you pay 15 million dollars to dance with Nathan?”

Nicole took a hint from her daughter and stood up. “Don’t be fooled by her, Nathan. Do you know who she is? Her name is Caroline, an ugly woman from the countryside. She probably can’t even afford to take out 1,500 dollars. Let alone 15 million dollars,” Nicole stated.

“Caroline, we know that you are not used to dancing in the countryside, but can’t you see what it is like here with the elites of Yarwood? How could you trick Nathan into dancing with you with your deceptive ways?”

The whole family stood up and began to accuse Caroline. They could not bear to see Wrenna losing to someone from the Countryside.

The hall was abuzz with gossip about Caroline’s appearance and financial status.

“It turns out to be the woman whom the Sullivans had adopted from the countryside. Look at the scar on her face. How hideous”

Chapter 88

“I can’t believe she had the guts to bid 15 million dollars. I doubt she had any money at all! How could she make such a random bid? She must be quite bold to aim for Nathan, who is way beyond her worth!”

Wrenna’s red l*ps curled into a smile as she felt pleased with everyone sharing the same opinion. She thought Nathan must now dislike Caroline.

“Get off there, Carol!” Wrenna reached out to pull Caroline down from the stage.

However, her attempts became futile, as Nathan stood in the way to shield Caroline.

Wrenna was intimidated by Nathan, whose figure was tall and clothed in an expensive suit, causing her to retract her hands quickly. Her heart pounded in fear.

As Wrenna looked up, she saw Nathan glaring at her with a stern expression, warning her with his disdain.

Wrenna was confused to see Nathan shielding Caroline.

Caroline’s delicate and slim figure was entirely blocked by him. His protective stance was silent yet impactful.

“Nathan, we’re not lying. Caroline really is an ugly woman from the countryside. She has no money,” Wrenna said.

Nathan turned his head and looked at Caroline’s delicate face. “You don’t have the money?” he asked.
