I'm A Quadrillionaire

Chapter 59

"Minnie, you should call your parents to come here tomorrow too!" Sam told Minnie after ending the call with his mom.

"For what? So they can drag me back? They've never agreed to our relationship to begin with."

"Are you silly? Your parents don't agree because you live in town while my family farms in the village; My family isn't as wealthy as yours. But now that my sister made a lot of money, I'm sure your parents will agree to us being together, and we won't have to date in secret anymore!"

Minnie thought about it and agreed with Sam.

Thus, she called her parents.

Her mother immediately started scolding the two of them, but she did promise to come to River City the next day.

Sam laid in bed with Minnie in his arms as he said, "Minnie, let's never go back. We can stay here in River City, I'll have my sister buy me a nice car and house, then we can drive it and enjoy the view every day!"

"But will your sister buy them for you?" Minnie did not believe him.

"Not if I ask, but she will if my parents ask her to. That's why I called them over! Don't worry, my parents have always been on my side, they leave the best things to me because I'm the only son. As far as they're concerned, my sister only exists to serve me."

"Okay! I want a car like your sister's too! It's so pretty! It's a dream to have something like this!"

"Alright! Then we'll get you one too! We can have one each!"

The two fell asleep as they fantasized about a great life together.

Lake City Lake Heart Club.

Tonight's charity auction was already in progress.

Everyone was seated in the hall on the first floor.

Hosting on stage was the main rising star of Lake West Province Broadcasting Station, Ida Rice.

"Good evening, esteemed guests!"

"Welcome to Lake City's Third Charity Auction."

"Today is a day of love, care, and harmony." "Today is also the day where we show the people worldwide our spirit of giving and universal love."

The large display started playing the video once the host finished her opening speech.

The video showed some remote mountainous areas, where some students had a lot of trouble going to school. Some even had to walk through two or three hours of mountain road to get to school. As a result, children end up spending five to six hours a day walking to and from school.

The conditions in the schools there were pitiful as well. The desks and benches at school were all donations from the students' homes, and they looked old and worn down.

Many of the students' parents had to leave the area and work far away to make a living, leaving the young students at home with their old grandparents.

These children have had to mature and become responsible at a very young age, some even exceptionally skilled at doing the laundry, cooking, and other household chores.

These children have a strong desire to learn as they wish to see the world beyond the mountains they live

in.

The video ended here.

Ida continued her speech, "Everything auctioned off tonight will be donated to the children in the video. The money will be used to fund a new school for them, with new desks, new chairs, new school bags, and new clothes."

"Now, let us begin with our first item of love."

"The first item is a new song from Empress Elsa.”

"The auction begins! There's no starting price, feel free to call any price."

"One hundred thousand!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Five hundred thousand!"

"Nice! Guest Seventeen called five hundred thousand! Is there anyone else?" ;

David took a look at the card in his hand. Number seven.

He raised it and said, "Five million!"

Many heads turned to look at David when they heard him call for five million. They were curious which bigshot had called such a large value.

"Five million! Guest Seven called five million! Is there anyone else?"

"Calling once! Calling twice! Sold!"

"Let's give a round of applause of Empress Elsa's new song!"

Elsa got up on stage.

She did not expect her song to be auctioned for a price as high as five million. Not that she could enjoy a cent of it anyway, since it was going to be donated fully,

Still, she was very happy as more children from the video could be benefitted from a bigger donation sum.

Empress Elsa finished singing.

The second item was a piece of art from a great master.

In the end, the artwork was taken home at a final price of eight hundred thousand, even though it was only worth one-eight the price.

However, this was a charity auction, after all, so such greatly overstated value was understandable. As items continued to be auctioned off, David did not raise his card again that night.
