The Luna Is Gone

Chapter 18

Diana’s pov

I turned to look at Nathan.

The damn man was looking at me in amusement, even curling his lips at me.

He seemed to be waiting for my reaction.

I twisted my eyebrows and shouted “30 million” as the host was about to shout “20 million for the second time.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Nathan raised his eyebrows and said, “40 million.”

Suddenly, the audience was in an uproar.

“What are Alpha Natha and Miss Reist doing? Is there anything between them?”

“You don’t understand. Did you see the lady sitting next to Alpha Nathan? It’s said that she’s been his beloved for many years. Alpha Nathan must have wanted to buy this bracelet for her.”

“But this bracelet is not worth 40 million.”

“Alpha Nathan is rich. 40 million is nothing if he can make his sweetheart happy. Haven’t you heard that? Alpha Nathan spent 300 million on medical expenses alone to ask Healer to treat her.”

“What?”

“I remember Diana used to be Luna of Alpha Nathan, but now Alpha Nathan is embarrassing her in public. And he is competing for a bracelet with Diana for another woman. It seems that Alpha

Nathan really has no feelings for Diana.”

The voice of discussion fell into my ears from all directions.

Everyone was moved by Nathan’s love for Avia and his.indifference to me. Avia held Nathan’s arm and looked at me with pride.

“Miss Reist, can you offer a higher price?” The host asked.

I squinted and took a deep breath.

“Sure. 50 million!”

“60 million.” Nathan followed closely.

I stopped looking at him and calmly raised my hand, “70 million“.

Anyway, no matter how much it cost, I will take back my mother’s bracelet.

“80 million.”

“90 million.”

“100 million.”

As Nathan’s voice fell, the entire hall exploded again.

“God, what did I hear? 100 million?”

“I can’t imagine how much Alpha Nathan loves the woman next to him… Does anyone know her name?”

“I heard that her name is Avia, but I don’t know her exact last name. Alpha Nathan places great importance on her privacy protection.”

“Alpha Nathan used to be a player of romance. I never expect him to do so much for a woman one day.”

“Didn’t you discover that the women around Alpha Nathan in the past looked a bit like this Avia?”

“What do you mean? Are you saying that those women are all substitutes for Avia?”

“Definitely! Poor Diana. She doesn’t look like Avia at all. She is not qualified even as a substitute. Otherwise, Alpha Nathan would have some feelings for her.

I forced myself not to listen to those annoying voices.

The most important thing for me right now is my mother’s bracelet.

They want money?

Fine, the last thing I need is money.

“200 million.”

Amid the noisy discussion, I shouted expressionlessly.

“Diana is crazy!” Someone exclaimed, “What is she doing?”

“She must be jealous of Alpha Nathan’s love for Avia. That’s why she insisted on taking that bracelet.”

“But even if she got it, Alpha Nathan wouldn’t like her. Isn’t she wasting money?” “Maybe it’s a consolation. But we all know that Diana has already lost this game.”

“300 million.”

No surprise, Nathan raised his hand again.

“If I were Diana, I would have stopped. It’s obvious that Alpha Nathan must get this bracelet.”

“Yeah. Although Diana is Alpha Marc’s sister, she’s just a sister. Isn’t she afraid to spend so much money on a bracelet? Wouldn’t Alpha Marc be angry?”

“She definitely doesn’t want to lose face in front of Avia, so she would rather be scolded by Alpha Marc.”

“That’s not necessarily true. After all, it’s impossible for her to get this bracelet. I bet the bracelet will belong to Avia.”

“I think so.”

“Miss, they don’t know anything. How dare they talk nonsense here?” My maid defended me, “You earn your own money. None of your money is from Alpha. I will talk to them–”

Mamla

“No need.” I grabbed the maid and said, “We came here today to retrieve Mom’s bracelet, not to fight. One day, they will feel ashamed of what they said today.”

“But…”

The maid still wanted to say something.

Someone sent me a text message–

‘I said Nathan will definitely take this bracelet for me. I advise you to give up! Aren’t you ashamed to compete with me with your brother’s money?”

It is obvious that this message is from Avia.

I don’t know where she got my phone number.

I rolled my eyes and replied, “Aren’t you ashamed to use Nathan’s money?”

After sending her this message, I added her to the blacklist.

On the other side of the VIP seat, Avia, who received the message, gritted her teeth angrily and glared at me fiercely.

I sneered and ignored her, raising my sign and shouting, “400 million.”

The host was surprised and turned to look at Nathan.

“Alpha Nathan, Miss Reist has offered 400 million. Would you like to raise the price?”

Everyone is betting that Nathan will definitely bid 500 million to buy this bracelet for Avia.

Avia couldn’t even hide the joy and pride on her face.

Her eyes seemed to tell me–

You’re bound to lose!

However, at this moment, Nathan, who had been competing with me since just now, suddenly gave me a cunning smile.

Then he said to the host, “No more“.

The entire scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone was surprised, including me!

Avia froze.

She turned her head to look at Nathan, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Nathan, however, seemed unaware of her dissatisfaction and still stared straight at

1. me.

After a brief silence, a heated discussion started again.

Everyone is speculating on why Nathan suddenly chose to give up bidding, and some

even doubt whether Nathan truly loves Avia.

Avia showed even more anger on her face.

How proud she was just now, and how embarrassed she is now.

The host tapped the tuning hammer.

“400 million, deal! Congratulations to Miss Reist, you have won the pearl bracelet.” I breathed a sigh of relief and laughed happily.

After another two hours, the auction finally came to an end.

I went backstage with the maid to pick up the pearl bracelet.

To my surprise, the staff told me that my pearl bracelet had been taken away!

“I’m really sorry, Miss Reist. Just now Alpha Nathan found the organizer and took the pearl bracelet for twice the price. And he gave it to the lady next to him.”
