Please get rid of this person , and in the future , don't let anyone like this into the community . Otherwise , how can you guarantee our safety as residents ! " " Ms. Hogan , don't worry . I'll get rid of him right away , and from now on , we'll never let someone like this in again . We'll also strengthen our security measures to ensure the safety of all residents ! " After hanging up , the building manager immediately took out his walkie - talkie : " Stalker spotted on the 16th floor , send two people over to help ! " The veins on Damian's forehead throbbed as he cursed Claudine a thousand times in his heart ! But more importantly , he couldn't let himself be taken to the police station . The president of the Barrette Group being escorted to the police station in the middle of the night ! He could already imagine how the media would report it ! With no other choice , Damian could only call Audrey . Claudine woke up very early the next day . As she was leaving , the property manager on the first floor told her about the resolution of last night's incident . " Ms. Hogan , what happened yesterday was a misunderstanding . That gentleman is the ex - husband of the owner of 1703 upstairs . He was drunk late at night and mistook your door , disturbing your rest . " " Ms. Lavigne's ex - husband ? " Claudine was a little surprised . Last night , didn't she see the two of them embracing downstairs ? How could he have mistaken the floor ? The property manager said , " After confirming with you by phone last night , we were planning to take him to the po- lice station . That gentleman called Ms. Lavigne , and she quickly came down and took him back to her own place . " She also said that she had a quarrel with her ex - husband , and he drunkenly went to the wrong floor . " Ms. Hogan , please rest assured , similar incidents will not happen again . " Claudine felt that something was off , but she was in a hurry to leave and didn't think much about it . Today was the official start of Mr. Legare's auction , and she needed to get there early to prepare . At the venue , the staff had already arrived . After Claudine confirmed that the items were all in order , she quickly be- 0.0 % 08:52 chapter27 11 288 Vouchers gan the preliminary work . Most of the items at Mr. Legare's auction were antiques , which happened to be Claudine's area of expertise . Among them , she was especially fond of the pastel openwork Ethereal Seraphim Sculpture . Soon , the collectors participating in the auction arrived one after another . Many had attended the preview before and already had their targets in mind . As soon as Audrey arrived , someone recognized her as " Mrs. Barrette . " People crowded forward . Although their own status was already far above ordinary people , in front of the Barrette family , they still paled in comparison . Although Audrey only allowed people to call her " Ms. Lavigne , " she still accepted their flattery , carrying herself with the air of " Mrs. Barrette . " Claudine , backstage at the time , could hear the commotion . She glanced at the surveillance screen and saw Audrey surrounded like a star , which made her even more curious about Audrey's identity . In the top circles of Bronzevale , there were plenty of people who had remarried or had children with ex - wives , but few had such status . For example , Damian ! Realizing she was actually thinking of Damian , Claudine laughed at herself , thinking she must be losing her mind to imagine such a melodramatic situation happening to herself . Someone like Damian , if he truly loved someone , surely wouldn't be willing to let go . " Ms. Hogan , it's time to go on stage . " The staff's reminder pulled Claudine back from her thoughts . " Alright . " Claudine stood up , straightened her blue - and - white evening dress , and walked gracefully into the venue in her high heels . " Ladies and gentlemen , good evening ! Welcome to Mr. Keith Legare's charity auction . I am Claudine , your chief auc- tioneer . " Tonight , what you raise is not just your paddle , but the light in the eyes of children from rural areas ! Special notes on the rules : 1. He was very satisfied with Claudine's performance at this event . Soon , the auction reached its final item : the Ethereal Seraphim Sculpture . Claudine once again gave a detailed explanation of the piece , allowing collectors both in and out of the venue to gain a deeper understanding of its value . BO 9 % 04 53
