The Beginning Of All Sins novel (Olivia and Tyler)
Chapter 410

Linda spoke with Naomi, who then looked over at Tyler.

Olivia sat quietly, almost hidden in the shadows.

After about five minutes, the lights in the venue brightened up. Everyone settled into their seats.

Naomi turned her gaze away as she waited for the emcee to step onto the stage.

The items for the auction were placed on stage. The emcee, dressed in a stunning green gown, started the event gracefully.

The charity event was magnificent, much larger than anything Olivia had ever seen before. Sitting under the powerful, bright lights, she felt as if they were the center of attention. It made her feel like she was looking down on everyone from the top of a pyramid.

It was clear why many people envied Mrs. Harris's position and thought Naomi was fortunate. Who wouldn't want to experience the thrill of being in the spotlight with the most influential people around, especially sitting next to someone as prestigious as Tyler?

How was Olivia not lucky to be in this position? However, she knew she was just Naomi's replacement and a tool to cure her illness.

Olivia didn't listen to the emcee; her mind was busy with thoughts.

Meanwhile, Tyler watched the stage intently, appearing extraordinarily calm.

Soon, the emcee started presenting a few auction items that didn't get much interest, so the bidding ended quickly.

But then, the atmosphere changed when the emcee excitedly announced, "I know everyone has been waiting for this. It's our most anticipated item-the symbol of enduring love and devotion, promising to love only one person forever."

A staff member rolled a glass case onto the stage, and inside it was a gold locket gleaming under the lights. The word "forever" was engraved on it, and it sparkled brightly.

As soon as it was revealed, everyone's attention was captured, their eyes fixed on the locket. The emcee announced, "We'll start the bidding at 200,000 dollars. Get ready with your bidder cards." Olivia turned her gaze to the locket as the bidding began. Linda was the first to bid, offering 230,000 dollars.

"230,000 dollars going once. Any higher bids?"

The bids kept coming. "I see you, sir-250,000 dollars going once."

Linda quickly bid again.

The emcee continued, "260,000 dollars going once."

The bidding war continued, and Linda kept raising her card. As the price hit 400,000 dollars, fewer people were willing to bid.

A locket at over 400,000 dollars seemed too expensive for many, no matter how much they liked it. But Tyler was determined to have it.

Naomi watched the bidding, feeling relieved knowing that no one would challenge their bid.

The emcee then said, "Great! We are at 400,000 dollars now. 400,000 dollars going once. 400,000 dollars going twice."
