The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back by Juliette Vaughan

Chapter 116

Two days later, the Crown&Culture charity auction was held as scheduled. Due to Crown&Culture's 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 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 hadn't 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, you're 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 Janet's gaze land on Paisley, standing beside Lucy. Her eyes widened in surprise, followed by an excited smile. "Šo Nion is a lady."

She extended her hand to Paisley apologetically. "Sorry, Nion, I was too close-minded before and thought you were..."
