Kylie frowned at Gideon.

Gideon smiled very naturally.

Ultimately, Kylie did not leave. She stood beside Gideon and watched the people come and go.
Of course, Kylie also saw Perla.
Perla wasn’t of a high enough status to attend such an event.
Of course, the same went for Kylic.
There were many reasons why Kylie was able to come, but the main reason was because of personal grudges.
It was the same for Perla,
To completely win Perla over, Stella naturally had to make some efforts.
The banquet hall suddenly went dark.
It wasn’t pitch-black, but the lights were very dim. Then, in the middle of the stage, a spotlight was turned on, and everyone looked over.
The host walked forward and said his opening words clearly, “Dear guests, good evening. Thank you very much for coming to the Garner Group’s annual charity gala.”
The entire place erupted with enthusiastic applause.
Only top celebrities in the entertainment industry would be able to host such a high-profile gala. They were celebrities who were considered popular and had some form of status in the industry.
“Now, let’s welcome the actual host of this banquet, Miss Stella Garner, to make the opening speech for this charity gala. Everyone, please give her a round of applause.“
Greeted by thunderous applause, Stella walked to the host’s side in a red gown.
The host handed Stella the microphone.
Stella had a polite smile on her face, and her every move was confident and elegant.
Stella said, “This is my first time hosting a charity gala. If I have not hosted you well, please forgive me. At this time, I want to thank my grandfather for giving me this opportunity to grow up and learn to be independent. Thank you for trusting me.”
As she spoke, Stella bowed deeply to Timothy.
Stella continued, “I also want to thank my parents and brother for their support and nurturing, allowing me to have the ability to take charge.”

Stella bowed again.
“Finally, I want to thank an important person in my life. If it weren’t for him being by my side all this time. I wouldn’t have the courage to host this charity gala alone. He even neglected his job for me and stayed with me for an entire month in Toville Stella didn’t reveal any name.
Everyone prevent knew who she was talking about.
Gideon turned to look at Kylie.
Kylie’s eyes were indifferent. She could feel Gideon’s gaze but did not turn around. Instead, Kylie said calmly. “Is this the show you were talking about?”
“Not good enough? Gideon asked.
Kylie was indifferent.
Gideon smiled bitterly.
Gideon looked at Stella, who turned toward Ethan as she stood on stage, “Ethan, thank you. Thank you for your consideration and care.”
Stella’s feelings for Ethan were indeed real.
Everyone could see the feelings Stella had toward Ethan through her eyes.
However, as Ethan was not on the stage and the lights were too dim, no one could see his expression clearly.
This charity gala will be the same as before. All the funds raised will be invested in Garner Group’s charity. A public notary will notarize the entire donation process. Once again, thank you for coming
Stella bowed slightly to everyone, looking elegant and generous.
There was another round of applause.
“Finally, I announce that the Garner Group’s Annual Charity Gala has officially begun.”
As soon as Stella finished speaking, fireworks erupted in the sky above.
Accompanied by the upbeat music, the gala reached its first small climax..
“Before the charity gala’s auction begins, I’ve prepared a small interactive segment for everyone.” Stella deliberately kept everyone in suspense.
Everyone looked at Stella.
Stella said, “We will randomly choose a lady here and auction off her first dance tonight. This money will also be part of the funds that we are raising tonight.”
There was some commotion at the scene.
This was the first time they had heard of auctioning off a dance.

On second thought, it was a charity gala, to begin with, so of course it was better to raise as much funds as possible. The way it was raised was not as important.
Most of the people who came to participate were not here for charity. Most of them were here to give money to increase their reputation, as well as that of their company.
“Does any lady wish to volunteer?” Stella asked.
There were whispers below the stage.
Some of them wanted to, but they did not dare to be in the limelight for fear of how it would affect their reputation.
Gideon whispered into Kylie’s car, “Are you going? If you go, I’ll splurge my money on you.”
“You’re crazy.” Kylie rolled her eyes at Gideon.
Gideon didn’t get angry.
Two minutes passed, but no one was willing to take the initiative to go on stage.
Perhaps they were all looking toward each other.
“If no one volunteers, then I’ll choose at random.” Stella didn’t let the atmosphere become awkward. “To make it less awkward, I’ll choose two ladies. Everyone has a unique auction number tonight. I’ll randomly call out two numbers. The ladies whose numbers are called will come on stage to auction off their first dance tonight.”
“Okay.” People began to agree.
Many people felt that this wasn’t a bad idea.
Stella randomly called out a number. “Number 36.”
Everyone present lowered their heads and checked their numbers.
At that moment, Stella heard a small voice say, “Here.”
Everyone’s gaze followed the light and looked over.
It was Perla, who was standing there shyly. She was wearing a black tube top dress that was very revealing.
Such clothes did not match Perla’s innocent and shy expression at this moment.
“Perla Stafford,” Stella called out to her. “She’s also my friend. She came specially to Lavinton from Beliey. Everyone, give her a warm applause and invite her on the stage.”
Perla blushed and walked up the stage to stand beside Stella.
Perla had already been tempted when Stella had been talking earlier. Perla knew very well that she would
only leave an impression on people if she went on stage, especially since she had been completely ignored
in the banquet hall.

However, in the end. Perla was still a little shy. She was afraid that if she took the initiative to volunteer, it wouldn’t reflect too well on her, so she held back.
Perla had not expected herself to be so lucky to be picked.
Perla tried her best to hide how happy the really felt, looking like she was very shy.
Indeed, now that Perla was on stage, everyone was paying attention to her.
Some people did not know who Perla was, while others had heard a little about her before.
However, looking at Perla’s delicate appearance, some of the men present were interested.
Perla could also feel everyone’s gaze on her.
Perla knew that even if she did not have a devastatingly beautiful appearance, the delicate and pure aura she exuded would be able to attract the attention of all men.
Perla was secretly happy as she thought about how many men she had charmed at that moment. Perla even imagined seducing a man later that evening.
In any case, the people here had high statuses, so she could accept anyone.
On the stage, Stella called out another number, “Number 63.”

Kylie tightened her grip on her numbered card.
