How My Ex Became My Next by Kirk Stanley ( Gilda Lynch )
Chapter 207
Erika was an experienced woman, so even though Jackson showed no courtesy to her, she remained unruffled and said, âI understand Mr. Moore meets all kinds of people every day so itâs only natural that you donât remember me. Iâm Erika. We met before at the M1. Groupâs opening ceremony
Upon hearing this, Jackson still showed no sign of recognition
âWell, Iâm sorry. I donât have any impressionâ
He spoke bluntly, with an unmistakable hint of rejection.
Seeing this, Erika smiled awkwardly
Gilda, on the side, could barely suppress the urge to laugh. She didnât expect Jackson to be so straightforward, remaining sex calm despite a beautiful woman standing right in front of him.
Just then, Jensen, dressed in an allâblack handmade suit, appeared at the entrance,
Recently, the reputation of the Harrington Corporation had taken a hit.
In order to restore their reputation, Jenson decided to attend this charity auction.
It was an opportunity to do some charity work, show compassion, and improve the publicâs perception of the Farrington Corporation.
âMr. Harrington! Iâve heard so much about you! Please, this wayâ¦â The organizer greeted Jensen with the utmost respect since Jensen was a real big shot in Allath.
Even though there had been some controversies involving the Harrington family, their current status in Allath was still quite high. The organizer didnât want to offend them.
Therefore, the organizer invited Jensen to sit in the front row, Coincidentally, Gilda and Jackson were seated next to him.
The moment Jensen saw Gilda, his gaze never left her. When he saw Jackson sitting beside Gilda, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes darkened.
He chose to take his seat without saying a word.
âWelcome, everyone, to tonightâs auction. All the proceeds from tonightâs auction will be donated to the Red Cross to help elderly and orphaned individuals.â
After the hostâs words, applause filled the venue.
âNext, we have our first item up for auction tonight, a bracelet donated by the Innovation Group, starting at 20 thousand
dollars.â
â22 thousand dollars.â
â26 thousand dollars.â
â30 thousand dollars!â
The bidding continued in waves, ultimately closing at 40 thousand dollars.

Seeing this, Gilda couldnât help but ask quietly. âJackson, what did you donate?â
âA little trinket, nothing valuable.â

Gilda nodded in understanding and didnât press further. However, her gaze inadvertently met that of Jensen, who was sitting not far away.
Gilda ignored him.
She calmly looked away.
The auction continuedâ¦
âAlright, next up is the fifth item for auction tonight, an Omega Menâs watch donated by Mr. Jackson Moore of the ML. Group, starting at 100 thousand dollars.â
As soon as the host finished speaking. Erika, seated in the back, raised her paddle and said, â200 thousand dollars!â
This declaration caused an immediate stir in the venue, as everyone turned to look in her direction.
Erika, however, just smiled confidently, as if victory was assured.
âWow, whatâs Erika doing? This watch is worth only a few thousand dollars, and sheâs willing to pay such a high price. Is she out of her mind?â
Megan couldnât help but comment.
Beside her, Yadira glanced in Gildaâs direction and then said, âI think she is into Jackson.â

Megan was taken aback. âReally? Trying to snatch Gildaâs man? What is she thinking?â
In Meganâs eyes, Gilda was undoubtedly the best, and anyone who dared to compete with her must be crazy.
âIt looks like weâre in for an interesting night,â Yadira remarked.
Megan got what she meant immediately.
âAlright, this lady has bid thousand dollars. Do we have any higher bids?â
â200 thousand dollars once.â
â200 thousand dollars twice.â
â200 thousand dollarsâ¦â
Just as the host was about to conclude the auction, Gilda, sitting in the front row, raised her paddle and declared, â400 thousand dollars!â
