765 Auction (1/2)

”This is pis*ing me off!”

After taking the elevator back to the surface, Berkeley cursed at Jiang Chen for stepping in and cussed at Emma who made him look like a fool in front of everyone. He vaguely recalled how people around him looked at him when he was leaving the venue.

He had never felt so useless!

A Porsche was parked at the side of the road. Seeing his young master approaching, the driver immediately got out of the car and opened the door for him.

Compared to the first few days of opening, there were more vehicles on Penglai's roads. Some affluent cruise ships were built with garages and cars followed the ship around. Berkeley's ship apparently was part of this category. When he came to Penglai, he set sail directly from a private port in Cali.

Berkeley was feeling gloomy.

”Drive me back to the hotel.”

”Yes.”

Seeing that the young master was in a terrible mood, the driver could guess that the master must've encountered some unpleasant events at the party. As a professional suck-up, it was the perfect opportunity to ease the mind of his young master! Halfway through the trip, Berkeley's mood improved slightly and the driver asked, ”Master Berkeley, who had the courage to make you unhappy?”

”Jiang Chen,” Berkeley said emotionlessly.

The driver suddenly shivered.

[Fu*k, there's no solution to this!]

However, Berkeley added, ”And Emma.”

Explaining the cause and aftermath to his driver Tate, Berkeley sunk into his seat and stopped talking. Thanks to Emma, he still must think about how he to explain this fiasco to his father. After all, his father viewed his own reputation above anything else.

Even now, he had no self-awareness that it might be his fault.

With Jiang Chen's protection, Emma was untouchable. However, this wasn't any problem for Tate - before he drove for the man with too much money, he was a Hollywood paparazzi. In order to earn his salary, what kind of means had he not attempted?

His eyeballs turned, Tate held the wheel while lowering his voice.

”Master, I have a way.”

”Say it,” Berkeley said impatiently.

”Since this b*tch is doing whatever she wants because of her protection, then we will first take away her protection before making a move. Just...” Tate whispered a few words next to Berkeley.

After listening, Berkeley's eyes turned brighter and brighter. Suddenly he slapped his thigh with a big smile.

”Haha, Tate,” Berkeley hooked Tate's shoulder and laughed. ”You're such a bad boy!”

Instantly, his bad mood disappeared.

[Just Wait! I'll make you pay the price!]

Berkeley licked his lips, and he began to plan in his mind. After he got that arrogant little girl to bow her head, he would torture her.

...

The waiters withdrew the cooked dishes and replaced them with delicate and delicious desserts. The sweet but not greasy ice cream stimulated Jiang Chen's taste buds. Even though he didn't like sweets in general, he fell in love with this ice cream he couldn't name.

Jiang Chen secretly made up his mind. After the party was over, he would go to the kitchen to get the recipe of the ice cream then ask Ayesha to make it for him.

After dessert was over and the guests savored the food, this evening party entered the final and most crucial part - the charity auction.

The items to be presented at the auction were donated by people from all walks of life. Jiang Chen donated a pen that he used for a price of 100,000 US Dollar. Compared to Julian Schnabel's Pearl on the Pacific, a pen undoubtedly paled in comparison. However, the most important factor was how much money being donated, not the price of the items auctioned.
