As the little incident settled down, it was time to move into the main event.
The lights in the hall dimmed and a man got up onto the stage with a spotlight on him.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! On behalf of South Hampton's charity organizations, I hereby thank you and welcome you to the annual charity ball."
All the guests automatically gathered around the stage when the event started.
After a quick introduction, the emcee cum auctioneer started the main event of the night—the auction.
The guests at the event were all wealthy and famous, so regardless of the items or their value, every item up for bidding would find its new owner tonight.
In name, it was an auction for charity but frankly speaking, everyone knew it was a forceful donation.
Item after item was being bid and won.
