Super Detective in the Fictional World

Watching the couple leave in a hurry, Susan suddenly chuckled. “I did sense that they were going to run into some bad luck lately. It seems it really is a little serious.”

Selina glanced at Luke.

Luke acted as if nothing had happened. Someone else standing up too quickly had nothing to do with him.

Claire, however, was interested. “Then how bad is it going to be?”

Susan fell silent, as if she was calculating it, then said in a low voice, “They probably won’t die.”

!!

Claire was shocked. “So unlucky?”

Susan was also uncertain. “That will depend on them. If they don’t show some restraint, they might end up in the hospital.”

Selina glanced at Luke again.

Luke winked at her, which meant that they would talk later, so she didn’t dwell on it.

Unexpectedly, Sasha and her partner returned less than ten minutes later.

She had changed into another dress which she had found from somewhere.

After she sat down, she glared at Claire hatefully.

Claire, however, didn’t look at her at all as she chatted with Selina and Susan.

Sasha was about to say something else, but the last two people at the table arrived, and the party officially began.

She wasn’t crazy, and naturally didn’t dare disrupt the party. She could only swallow her anger.

There was nothing new about the party.

Except for the glamorous female celebrities here, it was no different from any other party.

Sasha hesitated. 120,000 dollars wasn’t a small amount.

It was fine for her to spend 120,000 dollars on shopping, but for charity… Wouldn’t that be feeding poor dogs for nothing?

But seeing that only Susan out of the other four was looking at her strangely, she was sti;; unwilling to give up, so she raised her hand again.

The auctioneer kept smiling. “120,100 dollars. That’s an astonishing price. Miss Sasha is so zealous in supporting the charity…”

He stressed the word “zealous.”

Anyone who heard this immediately understood that he was reminding Sasha not to cause trouble at this charity fundraiser.

No one really cared if it was 100,000 or 80,000 – the main thing was to give everyone a chance to boost their reputation.

In terms of money, many people here could donate millions easily; it wasn’t Sasha’s place to act cocky.

Sasha wasn’t really stupid. She understood what the auctioneer was saying – it was just that she had suddenly found Claire and Luke displeasing to the eye for some reason, and had wanted to pick a bone with them.

Luke raised his hand again. “1.2 million.”

Sss!

Low whispers immediately rang out in the hall. Almost everyone knew that Sasha had run into a fierce person.

There were a lot of rich people here, but it was rare to throw out 1.2 million in one go.

Furthermore, this sort of private party would only be reported in the local New York news at most, so there was little to be gained from throwing out this amount.

Luke was raising the bid like crazy, completely to crucify Sasha.

If she raised her hand again, it would be clear she was spending a lot of money to stir up trouble.

No matter what she chose, this matter would quickly spread in the circle, and a lot of negative comments about her would definitely spread.

Sensing all kinds of gazes on her, Sasha finally didn’t dare make a fuss.

Watching the auctioneer bring down the gavel and declare that his sister’s album belonged to him, Luke smiled and leaned back in his chair.

He wasn’t flaunting his wealth, but using his money in an obvious ploy.

It felt good to be able to force a provocateur into a situation where they couldn’t fight back, by hitting them with a bit of money.

Nothing else happened during the auction, and it was soon time for the performance.

Glancing at Sasha and the man as they left their seats, Luke asked Claire, “Are they going to perform too?”

Claire was uncertain. “I think so?”

Susan interjected, “Yes, they were bragging about it before you came.”

Luke nodded thoughtfully. “That’s good.”

Susan was curious. “You want to see them sing?”

Luke smiled. “Susan, didn’t you say that they were going to end up in the hospital?”

Stunned for a moment, Susan coughed. “That…”

She usually didn’t divine bad luck for other people – it felt too much like she was cursing them – but she had accidentally let it slip just how.

Luke, however, nodded before she could reply. “I think you’re right. They’ll definitely encounter a bloody disaster tonight.”
