Fatal Kiss Of The Vampire

“Ha-ha, right, William is my nephew, and I’m afraid we must leave now,” Kylie said and walked through those reporters with William.

“Why does Uncle Ethan let you come out when you’re about to give birth to babies?” William complained in a quiet voice.

At that moment, he saw a tall, strong man walking towards them. He put on a serious face at once. “Hi, Uncle Ethan!”

Kylie was amused, seeing William’s reaction.

“Why do you come so early?” Kylie drew her hand out of William’s arms bend and placed it around Ethan’s arm.

“I miss you.” Ethan walked to a private room with Kylie.

Nate rubbed his jaw, shaking his head. “Ethan is reborn.”

“I think he looks good.” Fannie was also impressed by Ethan’s outfit today.

“What did you say?” Nate was jealous.

“I said you’re handsome,” Fannie said with a smile.

“Good girl.” Nate straightened up his back with pride.

“But Lord Ethan is more handsome than you!” Fannie said, then ran to chase Kylie up.

“What? Fannie, come back!” Nate shouted at her back.

Dora was already waiting for them in the private room. She was shocked the second Ethan walked inside. “Ethan, what…”

“What do you think?” Kylie gave Ethan a glance. She was very satisfied with her work.

“Oh, I almost failed to recognize him.” Dora was a little embarrassed.

Kylie beamed and sat down with Ethan. “Dora, thanks for your help for tonight.”

“Relax, I’ll handle it well.” Dora took out a cigarette but remembered Kylie was pregnant, so she stood up and said, “I’ll have a cigarette outside.”

Once Dora was out, she ran into Fannie, who just ran over. “Hey, Dora, where are you going?”

Dora showed her the cigarette. Fannie understood it in an instant, then pushed the door of the private room open.

As the host for tonight, William noticed Dora standing backstage after he prepared everything well. “Hey, Dora, are you stunned by my Uncle Ethan?”

Dora blew a mouthful of smoke out and squinted. “No matter how attractive he is, he doesn’t mind.”

William gave her a thumbs-up. “Dora, you deserve someone better.”

“Better than Ethan?” Dora jokes.

William beamed. “Um, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult.”

Dora laughed, then reminded him to check the time.

There was a display in the private room where Kylie stayed, so she could see the whole process of the auction on the stage. When she needed to show up to do the acknowledgment, Fannie would go out with her.

Kylie had a wide circle of friends in the entertainment industry, and many actors who had cooperated with her were present today. Some actors she hadn’t worked with yet also appeared to gain attention.

Kate took out some CD-ROMs from her collections for the charity sale. Sally was abroad, so she asked someone to help her put up a set of stamps which were out of print for the auction.

One after another object was sold out at the auction, and the next one was Kylie’s drawing.

“I’m excited now.” Kylie caught Ethan’s hand. “I’m afraid nobody wants it.”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Fannie stared at the big screen. “Do you draw? How could I have no idea about it?”

“Well, the credit goes to Ethan.” Kylie looked proud.

When William introduced the painter of this drawing was Kylie to the attendees, reporters were all surprised and pointed their cameras at the center of the stage at once.

However, when William uncovered the drawing in person, the hall fell into dead silence all of a sudden.

Kylie got nervous and squeezed Ethan’s hand.

She felt a little regretful now. She shouldn’t have turned Ethan’s idea down. If nobody wanted her drawing, it would be super embarrassing.

Ethan hugged Kylie with one arm and patted her shoulder to comfort her.

The next second, the hall was filled with thunderous applause.

William was amazed and struck dumb for a second. Luckily, he was an experienced host and soon got his mind back. “Wow, this is so amazing. I’m willing to buy it with my host fee for tonight.”

After that, William thought for a while, then said with a smile. “I just remembered that I couldn’t get a cent for tonight.”

People laughed offstage.

“Alright, this painting even I want to buy as well now is available for bids.” William raised the gavel. “The starting price is 10 thousand dollars!”

“Fifty thousand dollars!” Someone added the price without delay.

“A hundred thousand dollars!”

“Two hundred thousand dollars!”

“Half a million!” Elliot suddenly raised his paddle.

Kylie was surprised, then turned to look at Ethan at once. “Didn’t we come to an agreement that you can’t help me?”

Ethan smiled. “Didn’t you feel regretful that we came to that agreement just then?”

Kylie pouted. “You know me so well.”

Ethan still smiled. “Don’t worry. I won’t buy it, but raise its price for you.”

Fannie was amused by the couple’s loving talk.

Within 10 minutes, the price of Kylie’s drawing was raised up to three million dollars.

It was a very high price, and Kylie was satisfied with it. She picked her walkie-talkie and was about to tell William to sell it.

Ethan, instead, stopped her. “Wait a second.”

Elliot bid again. “Five million dollars.”

Kylie was shocked. “No, don’t raise the price too high. What if you really buy it back home?”

Ethan looked calm but seemed unhappy.

William recognized Elliot, and he understood Elliot showed up here on behalf of Ethan.

“Five million dollars once!” William searched around the crowd with his eyes. “Does anyone want to add the bid? This is a debut drawing from Kylie.”

People discussed with each other offstage.

It indeed was a very beautiful drawing, and it was incredible that Kylie, as an actress, could draw like that.

Even though it was a good drawing, it wasn’t worth five million dollars.

Kylie wasn’t a famous artist anyway. If she couldn’t gain much fame in the entertainment industry, as usual, her drawing would be worthless.

Rich men offstage exchanged a glance with one another, but none of them had the intention to bid again.

“Five million dollars twice!” William raised his voice and felt worried about Kylie.

Offstage noises got louder, but there was still no one who lifted a paddle.

“Anyone want to add the bid?” William repeated. When he was sure nobody was willing to do so, he raised the gavel. “Five million dollars…”

“Six million dollars!” A woman sitting at the last row interrupted him all of a sudden.

William was waiting for that, so the gavel stopped in the air without delay. “Great, six million dollars!”

“Six million dollars once!”

“Eight million dollars.” Elliot raised his paddle once more.

“Ten million dollars!” The woman stood up and smiled at Elliot. “Sir, if you don’t mind, please allow me to buy this drawing.”
