Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife

Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Look at me more, it helps to improve Aesthetic appreciation

Benjamin Jones sat in the back row. He couldn’t see Abigail Green and Brandon Piers’ expressions, but he was no less surprised than Jeffrey Foster. He had rushed over here and didn’t have time to stay long. He thought that Abby’s surgical knife was in the bag, but unexpectedly, he came up empty-handed.

Thinking about the familiar feeling Abigail gave him, and her understanding of Abby, now this girl paid such a high price for Abby’s surgical knife. Why?

For the first time, Benjamin found a girl so hard to read.

He wanted to confirm some things with Jeffrey, to find out whether he had contact with this girl and knew she was familiar with Abby. But… thinking about their relationship, he couldn’t help but mock himself.

Compared to him, Abby was closer and more familiar with Jeffrey. It was said that Jeffrey was still Master Brandon’s attending doctor and had more contact with Abigail Green than he did. If there were really something, how could it not have been noticed?

With a sigh, he wanted to greet Abigail after the auction ended, but his assistant had already quietly approached. “Lawyer Jones, your plane takes off in forty minutes.”

...

“Okay.” Benjamin stood up, glanced at the girl in the front row who was thinner and more outstanding than before, and eventually chose to leave.

Abigail turned around and saw a tall and handsome figure. She found it strange that Benjamin came and left in such a hurry. Was he here solely for her surgical knife?

The taste in her heart was hard to distinguish, and she didn’t know where to start.

At this moment, Brandon Piers followed her gaze and saw Benjamin’s back too, frowning. “Are you a lovesick fool?”

Otherwise, why would she show the same behavior towards Jeffrey and now also towards Benjamin? Was he not attractive enough or not rich enough?

Abigail, “…”. Why did this man always make personal attacks? How did she look like a lovesick fool? If she were really infatuated, wouldn’t she be adoring him every day?

“Yes, look at me more.”

Abigail was stunned. Was he jealous?

Then she heard Brandon’s next sentence. “It helps improve your aesthetic.”

Noel Roberts, sitting behind them, and Lucy Graham, next to Abigail, were wondering what they had done to deserve witnessing this second young master.

Abigail looked at the man, suddenly reaching out to feel his forehead. He didn’t have a fever!

Noel and Lucy, who had been startled, instantly held back their laughter to the point of madness.

This chubby girl must be a dense woman!

…

After the surgical knife’s turn of events, everything after seemed dull and uninteresting.

The host was no longer startled and steadily ended the auction.

Leah Graham personally took to the stage to give a thank-you speech, especially commending the Piers’ brothers, Brandon and Adam, for their support of charitable causes. Lastly, she invited Abigail onto the stage to place a crown on her.

This was Abigail’s first time doing such a flashy thing, but it didn’t stop her from smiling charmingly and generously.

Applause continued from the audience as Brandon Piers’ lips curved in satisfaction.

At this moment, Leah announced something even more intriguing. Because she personally admired Dr. Abigail Green and was pleased with the high auction price for her surgical knife, this time, the female partner of the auction’s seller would not only become the annual Charity Goddess but also get priority access to the Graham research lab’s results.

Originally staring intently at Abigail on the stage, trying hard to remain calm, Ruby Green nearly lost her composure again.

Adam Piers’ face wasn’t looking good either.

He knew that the Graham family’s charity auction each year would have a star item, but he only assumed it would be some trivial thing as before. Who could have thought that this time it would give priority access to their research lab results?

This value couldn’t be estimated at two billion.

Adam’s handsome face alternated between green and white as he realized his cousin had been plotting against him from the start.

He had been tricked again!

Spending one and a half billion on a worthless stone, not gaining any fame or actual benefits, and now suffering such a significant loss.

He had wondered how someone as shrewd as Brandon Piers would suddenly lose his mind and spend two billion on a worthless surgical knife. Turns out, he was waiting for him here.

Huff!

Adam took a deep breath to avoid losing his composure like Ruby.

He told himself to stay calm. After all, it wasn’t the first time he had been outsmarted by this monster. Moreover, who in their family hadn’t suffered losses due to this monster? He needed to stay calm!

At this time, the waiters led everyone to the ball venue.

Abigail didn’t expect things to turn out this way. So, Brandon wasn’t simply bidding for her surgical knife for her sake but out of interest considerations.

After all, Professor Graham’s lab was top-notch in the country, and the Piers’ main industries were pharmaceuticals and high-end private hospitals. Gaining priority access to the lab’s medical results meant securing premium resources for their hospitals.

This value couldn’t be estimated at two billion.

While Abigail could logically understand the man’s actions, her heart couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable sense of loss. She then told herself that this was actually the best outcome.

Otherwise, just thinking about the man spending two billion to please her would have been overwhelming.

What merit or virtue did she have?

Suppressing the unusual feeling in her heart, Abigail followed Brandon all the way to the ballroom.

However, with so many thoughts in her head, she became somewhat inattentive. When she realized the surroundings were very quiet, she looked up and found everyone at the banquet looking at her.

Abigail didn’t understand, so she looked at Brandon. The man elegantly extended his hand towards her. “I wonder if I have the honor to invite Miss Abigail Green to dance?”

“Ah…” Abigail stared blankly at the elegant, gentlemanly, and incomparably noble man before her, finally remembering that he had not only obtained priority access to Professor Graham’s research results but also gained the opportunity to open tonight’s ball.

As she met his long, amber-colored eyes filled with sincerity and a subtle but heart-melting smile, Abigail’s heartbeat quickened.

Sure enough, she still couldn’t resist a handsome man’s attention and felt a bit nervous.

This nervousness was seen by Ruby, whose heart was burning with jealousy and couldn’t help but laugh at her. She exclaimed coyly, “Oh dear! My sister doesn’t know how to dance!”

Ruby’s voice wasn’t loud, but many people in the gathering of the ball heard it.

Especially some noble ladies who already disliked Abigail. Their gazes towards her instantly turned disdainful.

In this day and age, what rich lady wouldn’t know how to dance?

A fatty was still a fatty—not only fat but useless.

But such a useless fatty received the favor of Master Brandon, who had spent two billion on her, making her tonight’s Charity Goddess. How could the beauties present balance their hearts?

They all thought whether Master Brandon was blind or whether this fatty had put a spell on him.

Many of the socialites from Gills City knew Ruby was Abigail’s sister, so if Ruby said the fatty couldn’t dance, it couldn’t be false.

Many people watched Abigail coldly, anticipating a good show.

Abigail, with her sharper-than-the-average five senses, heard their discussions clearly. She sneered inwardly—Ruby always wanted to cause trouble for her.

Next to her, Brandon also heard Ruby’s comment. His brows slightly furrowed and he spoke soothingly, “It’s okay if you can’t. Follow my steps, I’ll lead you.”

“Okay.” Abigail didn’t bother to explain more and simply nodded. She extended her hand to hold Brandon’s.

Ruby looked on, gloating.
