Chapter 23

As memories resurfaced, Elvira's face darkened and she clenched her hands. Olivia was hopping mad as well. Zach observed them. He had already sent people to deal with it since it began. He glared at Stacy murderously. The organizer of the charity party and security guards rushed over. Everyone looked toward them, expecting them to kick

Elvira out

Olivia stood defensively before Elvira. However, the organizer spoke to Stacy, "Miss, you've accused her of theft without evidence, which is slander. I've already called the police. They'll investigate and announce the truth after the party. Then, he turned to the crowd. "I'm honored to have everyone here. Please don't believe baseless rumors. Don't forget why you're here. The auction is about to begin. Please take your seats."

The organizer was firm, so the guests entered the auction hall and took their seats.

The charity auction was not open to everyone. Olivia and Elvira had no seats while Judy did.

Stacy was infuriated that her plan failed and she was slapped. She glared at Elvira.

Calvin was running late today and just found Judy. His expression soured when he saw Elvira, "Elvira, I've made it clear. I love Judy. Everything you do is futile. Please stop. Calvin thought Elvira was there for him.

Olivia was amazed. Did all scumbags like to gather together like birds of a feather? Did they know what they were saying?

"Calvin, don't be mean to Elvira. They look like they don't have seats. Shall we replace seats for them?" Judy leaned on Calvin's arm and acted coquettishly.

"The seats are limited. How do I do that? Elvira, you better leave or you'll embarrass yourself. Calvin frowned.

"Calvin, don't. You've connections. It's not difficult to add two more chairs. Judy turned to Elvira. "But Elvira, you probably couldn't sit with us. You can only sit at the back." Judy's tone was arrogant.

Stacy interjected resentfully, "How can she sit with you, Judy? Elvira, take a good look at yourself. You're fit only to lick Judy's

shoes."

Calvin said magnanimously, "Alright, stop arguing. I'll see if I can add a couple more seats.

Olivia was about to throw a fit but Elvira shook her head.

"Sorry, I've never seen anyone so proud to be a bootlicker. Elvira glanced at Stacy.

Olivia snickered. Elvira's statement was right on target. Stacy was proud of sucking up to Judy. "That's right. You're an amazing ass-licker.

Stacy was rendered speechless.

Elvira didn't want to stay. She looked at Olivia and prepared to leave.

"Some people can't handle being dumped. Mr. Kennedy is bidding for 'Eternity' today to propose to Judy. The ring is worth. over two million dollars. Those who date waiters probably will never have such an expensive ring." Stacy proclaimed. Judy smiled sweetly. "Stacy, don't say that. The auction has started. Let's go in."

Calvin glanced displeasingly at Elvira, then hugged Judy and walked inside.

Olivia was furious. How could Elvira survive in her family for so many years? "Are you kidding me? That scumbag treated Judy like treasure. Elvira, let's not stoop to their level"

Elvira wasn't angry. If she were easily infuriated, she wouldn't have survived until today.

The organizer ran up to them then. "Please hold up, miss. I'm sorry for the unpleasantness just now. Let me make it up to you. My superior has reserved seats for both of you. Please follow me." Olivia looked at Elvira. Elvira didn't want to stay. She was about to refuse when the organizer added, "The police are already

investigating the accusation of theft against you, Ms. Willis. The truth will be revealed after the auction. We can't let her get away with slander, can we?"

Olivia immediately decided to stay. She looked at Elvira. "Let's stay. Make her apologize publicly to you."

"Thanks then." Elvira was grateful to the organizer. She had suffered many injustices since young but not many insisted on seeking justice for her. "This way, please. The organizer respectfully led them in.

Seatings were particular in the auction hall. They were arranged according to status and influence. Those in front were the movers and shakers in Jersten. Calvin and Judy were seated in the fifth row.

Stacy had no seat and could only stand at the back. Even so, the area was packed with people proud to attend the auction.

The organizer led Elvira and Olivia to the first row. "Will this do? If you don't like the view, we can change."

Olivia was stunned. She thought, 'How could I sit there? Is someone pulling a prank on us?'

Elvira felt strange too but she wasn't familiar with the seating arrangements, so she nodded. "This is fine. Thanks."

*Please have a seat too. If you need anything, have the staff call me. The organizer left after instructing the nearby staff to take care of them.

Olivia sat down and pinched herself hard. She winced. "God, that hurts. I'm not dreaming

"Why are you hurting yourself?" Elvira rubbed Olivia's arm.
