Chapter 116 Two days later , the Crown & Culture charity auction was held as scheduled .
Due to Crown & Cultures immense influence in the country , it attracted a gathering of high profile figures from all walks of life .
While everyone was eager to contribute to the cause , there was one particular thing they were all excited about The event would mark k the first public appearance of Nion .
Celebrities and elites from the world of art and collectibles were eager to see what Nion truly looked like .
They wondered if he was a refined gentleman , as the rumors had it When Paisley and Lucy arrived , there was still some time before the auction would begin .
The big business tycoons hadnt arrived yet , and only the organizers and a few representatives from impoverished remote areas were present .
As soon as Paisley and Lucy arrived at the venue , Janet , the editor in chief of the magazine , warmly greeted them with a smile .
Ms.
Green , youre here so early Lucy smiled back at Janet Yes , Nion said we should leave early to avoid traffic , but there was no traffic , so we arrived a bit earlier .
Janet glanced behind Lucy , then asked , Where is Nion Lucy paused , then looked beside her .
Right here Only then did Janets gaze land on Paisley , standing beside Lucy .
Her eyes widened in surprise , followed by an excited smile .
So Nion is a lady She extended her hand to Paisley apologetically .
Sorry , Nion .
I was too close minded before and thought you were …… A man ! Paisley chuckled .
It was true that some people referred to her as Mr.
Vaire , and others called her Nion .
Nion was her code name .
Every time she painted a picture , she would sign off as Nion , which w was part of her pen name , Nion Vaire .
So strictly speaking , she should be addressed as Nion or Ms.
Vaire .
Janet laughed along and led Paisley into the venue .
Nion , I have some things t Alright , you go ahead .
Paisley nodded .
to take car care of , so please make yourself comfortable .
The auction hall was quite large , and each seat was labeled with the name of its guest .
She quickly spotted her name and was about to sit down when she noticed the group from the remote areas at a nearby table .
Among them was a little girl who appeared to be only a few years older than Serena .
The girl was wide eyed , confused , and frightened , looking around at the busy crowd .
The girls clothes were very old but clean , likely her best outfit .
At her table were a few other girls who seemed a little older .
They all had rough skin .
while their hair was as dry as straws .
They were skinny the kind of skinny that indicated severe malnutrition .
But their eyes were pure , untouched by the world .
Paisley was moved by the innocence in their gazes and immediately went to sit at their table .
Two adults were sitting at the table with the children , who appeared to be the childrens teachers .
When they saw Paisley sit down , they smiled warmly at her , though they seemed a bit nervous , and pushed a glass of juice toward her Please , have some .
They didnt know who Paisley was , but they knew she was an important figure who could help these children .
So , in order for the children to have books to read , clothes to wear , and sanitary pads to use , the teachers lowered themselves to flatter such influential people .
Paisley smiled warmly as she took the juice cup .
Thank you Seeing that the important guest didnt mind , the two teachers breathed a sigh of relief .
The auction , was about to begin , and Janet was already at the entrance , welcoming each guest in an orderly manner .
Kayla and Marissa were the last to arrive .
As soon as they got out of the car , they saw Janet walking toward them with a respectful smile .
Mu Vanderbili .
Ms.
Prescort , welcome .
Of all the people present tonight , the most important and influential were undoubtedly the two women standing before her .
One was the Vanderbilt familys heiress , and the other was the rumored fiancée of the heir .
As long as these two were won over , the auction would be more than half a success .
Kayla was too preoccupied to pay attention to Janets courteousness , urgently asking .
Has Mr.
Vaire arrived ! Janet was surprised , realizing that Kayla was also a fan of Nion .
Nodding repeatedly , she said .
Yes , yes Nions here Kaylas eyes lit up , and she hugged Marissa , planting a kiss on her cheek .
Marissa , thank you so much .
