Iâm A Quadrillionaire chapter 60 That was, until Marie, She was auctioning off a dance.
Like Elsaâs song, Marieâs dance was also sold to David at five million.
This was how David was, he was the kind of person that would repay kindness others had shown him tenfold.
Those two had helped his cousin Lily tonight, so it was only right that he offered a higher price to buy their performances.
Soon later.
The auction event was about to end.
After the last item of love had been auctioned off, the banquet was about to end as well.
Just then, David raised his card and spoke.
âMs. Rice, Iâd like to donate a song!â
Ida was about to read the closing speech when she saw David offer to donate a song.
David had spent ten million at the auction today, so it would not be right to refuse him.
Ida allowed David to come up on stage.
âMr. Lidell wishes to donate a song, is anyone willing to buy it?â Ida asked.
âUh⦠Iâd like to buy it myself if thatâs alright?â David asked.
âYou want to buy your own song?â
âYes!â
âOf course. Since Mr. Lidell wants to buy his song back, then letâs listen to Mr. Lidell sing! Mr. Lidell, how much are you calling?â
âOne hundred million!â
âH-How much?â Ida stuttered.
âIâm offering one hundred million to buy my song!â
Ida was stunned, and so were the hundreds of guests sitting below the stage. Excluding Hugh and Andy, everyone was shocked by what they heard.
âBuying your own song for a hundred million?
âIsnât he essentially just donating another hundred million?
âWeâve never heard anything about this David in Lake City before!
âNot only is he close friends with Mr. Lewis and Mr. Greene, he also just donated a hundred million.
âThere are no bounds to how wealthy this man is.â
David walked over to the piano and sat down.
âThe song iâm singing tonight is called Snail. With it, I hope that the children in the video can only find their own place in the world.â
With that, David started to sing.
A slow melody drifted from the piano.
âShould I take off my heavy shell, âAnd search for the blue sky.
âThe gentle wind blows as I dance softly in the skies, âThe hurt I experienced before feels like nothing no more.
âStep by step, I make my way up, âAnd await quietly to watch the sun shine.
âA sky so small holds a dream so big.
âA slight desire hides in a heavy shell.
âStep by step, I make my way up, âAnd on the highest point, I soar through the skies on a leaf.
âA sky so small holds past sweat and tears.
âThere will be a place for me.â
The song was finished.
Thunderous applause erupted below the stage.
The children in the video were just like the snail in Davidâs song, how they wanted to experience the world outside and find a place for themselves in the world.
âMr. Lidell, did you produce this song?â Someone from the audience below asked.
âI did,â David replied.
âYouâre so talented, Mr. Lidell! So handsome!â
Marie looked fondly at David, who was on the stage. This was the man she admired.
Elsa looked at David with shock as well. He was not like other men.
