Mia Ashworth listened to the escalating bids with a slight sigh of relief. Thankfully, she came

well–prepared this time. Otherwise, facing this pack of wolves, she couldn’t have secured the Tears

of the Rose. Her grip tightened around the bidding paddle, and then, with a firm yet unassertive

tone, she declared. “Three hundred million!”

“Wow!”

“No way!”

Instantly, all eyes in the room turned towards Mia Ashworth, shocked by her audacious billion–dollar

increase.

Unfazed by the stares, Mia Ashworth’s expression remained calm, though she felt a twinge of anxiety

She feared someone might further escalate the bidding. Her worries materialized when a middle–aged

man raised his paddle, his voice booming with authoritative command, “Three hundred and fifty

million.”

Mia bit her lip, refusing to back down, “Four hundred million!”

Those who had contemplated vying for the Tears of the Rose shook their heads in resignation as the

price soared to four hundred million, with no signs of stopping. They turned their heads, now keenly

interested in the bidding war between Mia Ashworth and the middle–aged man.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the middle–aged man confidently raised his paddle again, his

voice resounding, “Four hundred and fifty million!”

The crowd gasped. Each increment of fifty million was staggering. Clearly, this was a game for those

with substantial wealth and resolve.

Mia Ashworth’s face fell. She had come with only five hundred million, plus an additional one hundred

million from Luna Lyons, totaling six hundred million. Now, the bid had reached four hundred and fifty

million, leaving her with little room to maneuver.

Luna Lyons, noticing Mia Ashworth’s trembling shoulders and pallid complexion, realized they were

nearing their financial brink. Following Mia’s gaze, Luna caught sight of the man competing with Mia.

Biting her lip, she stood and approached him.

“Hello, sir.”

Approaching the middle–aged man, Luna Lyons extended her hand with a charming smile and

seductive eyes

The man glanced at Luna’s extended hand and then at her face. Luna Lyons, with her stunning looks

and polished demeanor from years in the entertainment industry, could easily enchant any man. The

middle–aged man was no exception. Feeling his bones soften at her gaze, he eagerly grasped Luna’s

hand

his fingers teasingly scratching her palm. Luna’s brow furrowed in disgust, but she quickly masked

her revulsion with a smile and deftly withdrew her hand from his greasy grasp.

“I’m Luna Lyons.”

The middle–aged man’s grin widened lecherously, his eyes gleaming with sleaze as he ogled Luna,

“Ah.

I know you.”

“Hehe…”

Luna Lyons smiled politely again, gracefully flicking her long, curled hair over her shoulder, and said

softly. “Could I trouble you with a request? This necklace is a family heirloom, and I must take

it back. Could you, perhaps, graciously let me have it?”

“Let you have it?”

The man paused, then smirked even more lewdly, “I’m not short of money, you know. I could let you

have it, but what’s in it for me?”

Luna exhaled deeply, barely containing her disgust. How could there be such vile men in this world?

“Um…”

After a moment’s hesitation, Luna took out her phone, “How about we become friends? I could treat

you

to dinner sometime?”

“Just friends? That’s not enough.”

The man took out his phone, his eyes narrowing with a sly smile, “Give me your phone number, and

let’s take a photo tonother That’s a fair renuert in’t it?”

The man took out his phone, his eyes narrowing with a sly smile, “Give me your phone number, and

let’s take a photo together. That’s a fair request, isn’t it?”

It seemed a small price to pay. Luna nodded, entered her number into his phone, added him as a

contact, and then bent down to take a photo.

The man pushed her hand away and held up his phone, “Let’s use mine.”

Luna didn’t object. She moved closer, turning her face towards his phone screen and flashed a perfect

smile. Just then, the man’s eyes glinted cunningly. In full view of everyone, he wrapped his arm

around Luna’s neck, pulled her face towards his, and smacked his greasy lips onto hers.

Luna Lyons, “!!!”

“Wow!”

“My goodness!”

The crowd erupted at the spectacle!

Mia Ashworth watched, appalled, as her precious daughter was publicly harassed by the sleazy man.

She stood up, furiously marching towards them.

Luna’s brows furrowed deeply. She pressed her hand against the man’s shoulder, not daring to be too

forceful, just enough to break free from his grasp.

“Ha ha ha…”

The man laughed triumphantly. Luna wiped her mouth vigorously, then stopped the fuming Mia

Ashworth Suppressing her rage, she asked in as calm a voice as she could muster, “Is this

satisfactory?”

“Ha ha, yes, absolutely!”

The man, seemingly pleased with the photo on his screen, nodded generously without further ado.

Luna took several deep breaths to quell her anger, then forced a strained smile at the man and walked

away, holding Mia Ashworth’s hand.

“Luna!”

Mia was livid. Had Luna not stopped her, she would have surely attacked that shameless man!

Luna was angry too, but she remained rational, “Mom, I did it all for the Tears of the Rose. That’s all I

can do. Let’s hurry and secure it, or my sacrifice would be in vain.”
