The Invincible Arthur Gardner novel Chapter 15

Claudina glided onto the stage, where dozens of men in lavish suits sat, scowling at her as she stood and calmly regarded everyone in front of her.

Claudina smiled, her beauty lighting up the room and causing some to stand in an unconscious display of anticipation.

"Welcome, everyone," she said in a gentle voice, the sound seeming to caress each guest's ears and render them weak. "Tonight we will be hosting a charity event." she added.

Claudina walked to the side, revealing the large screen behind her. On it was a video of orphans desperate for aid so that their home would not be destroyed for the sake of a business venture.

"There are many people who have it worse than others," she said. "These children, who have lost their families and still have dreams in their hearts, need our help."

Claudina scanned the room, hoping her actions would bring her the desired results. She was determined to make her intentions a reality.

"I couldn't care less about this garbage; let's just get on with the charity, how much money do you need? I'll pay it all now, and all I ask in return is for you to keep me company for the night."

"What a load of crap! Do you actually think anyone's here to genuinely help these poor orphans? This is just our way to spend the night with you, hahaha..."

"I'd pay any price to sleep with her,"

Claudina heard the voices of the men, but she tried her best to ignore them.

Suddenly, he grasped the microphone in the stage's corner and began singing a song. A man played the piano, and melodious music filled the air. Claudina joined in, humming her own song that was full of soul and charm.

Claudina sang with an enchanting melodious voice, leaving all the listeners in awe. Everyone was speechless, captivated by her mesmerizing performance.

"What gorgeous singing! She truly is a perfect girl, blessed with an angelic voice and body," someone said.

"Just listening to her singing makes me aroused. I'd do anything to be able to make love to her at least once," another said.

"I can't help it. I really want her," the third one uttered.

Once Claudina had completed her song, she sauntered over to the couch at the edge of the stage, and a man who served as the host took her place.

Aston Scott then strode to the front of the stage, bowing deeply before Claudina. "Ms. Claudina," he said, his voice full of admiration, "you are the most beautiful girl in Southlake, or perhaps even the world. Let me be your helper, an angel who can solve any problem you may have. I'm willing to do anything for you, so long as you will stay with me for a month. I bought your song for 200 million dollars. Now, let's move on to the next item auction - don't let me keep you waiting any longer."

Aston believed he was the wealthiest person in the room and was certain he would win the bet. His excitement was further fueled when he caught sight of Claudina's stunning countenance; he licked his lips, unable to contain his desire. "I'll be the first to enjoy her body," he thought.

"Three hundred million dollars," Harry Black repeated, grinning confidently at Aston. "You won't get rid of me that easily, Mr. Aston. I'm here to demonstrate my commitment, whereas you only came to satisfy your lust. I'm the one who's going to win this auction and the beautiful Claudina's heart!"

"How do you think you're different from me, kid?" Aston challenged, "Four hundred million dollars. You'd better stop and hang onto your money for the next auction."

The crowd was rendered speechless as they watched two people of immense wealth compete for the most useless item of the night's auction.

"It's quite evident that they have an abundance of money - I don't think I can outbid them now," one of the spectators murmured.

"I don't care, I'm going all-out to be able to date Claudina."

"One billion dollars!" someone in the corner of the room called out, raising his hand as he placed his bid on the item that Harry and Aston were fighting over.
