Bab 214: Chapter 214: The First Auction Comes to an End

Upon hearing Celestine's question, Charles didn't think much and replied directly, "Close? We're just classmates." 

Celestine seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She was worried that someone as outstanding as Charles would attract a lot of admirers, and perhaps even the second princess of Genosha might have feelings for him. 

People are often selfish, especially when it comes to love, and Celestine was no exception, she wanted to be Charles's one and only. 

"Charles." Celestine called out to him. 

Charles turned to look, asking, "What's up?" 

Celestine shook her head, indicating that there was nothing wrong, but her gaze remained fixed on Charles's face, lost in thought. 

The auction was progressing quickly. 

Zachary and Camilla each made several bids and managed to buy the items they wanted. 

Zane, sitting in the front row, pulled out his phone, seemingly busy with something, and looked somewhat anxious.
