Chapter295.
I blinked, understanding dawning. So, Grayson had seen something superior. Meanwhile, the bidding for this piece had reached three million. I realized everyone else probably knew only part of the story, just like him. Yet, even as a practice piece, to the uninformed, it was still a rare treasure. The painting sold quickly for 3.2 million.
The next item was introduced mysteriously.
“This next item is an unparalleled diamond necklace! Donated by a promising young healer, it’s tonight’s highlight. Crafted in the 1990s by the late renowned jewelry maker, Alisa, who oversaw every detail…” My wolf bristled. A young healer, a necklace from the 90s, and Alisa…
These keywords sparked a bad feeling. I’d met Alisa when young. She’d spoken of collaborating with me when I grew up. Sadly, Alisa had died suddenly, leaving few remaining pieces. One was in my mother’s collection.
I nervously glanced at Mason. He wore a smug smile, looking down at me with superiority. Could it be…? The host announced, “Now, let’s unveil this unique diamond necklace!” He slowly removed the red velvet cloth. On the black jewelry stand was the necklace my
mother cherished!
“Mason, are you insane?” I jumped up, my heart pounding.
My wolf snarled, its claws extended in a silent threat.
I want to rip open his throat and see what’s inside his skull!
This was my mother’s heirloom! One of her most treasured possessions! And he was auctioning it off for his shallow social ambitions… No, he was doing it to help Emily regain her status, sacrificing my mother’s memory!
“Mason, do you have a heart?!” My voice was raw with anger and grief. My wolf howled silently within me, echoing the pain and betrayal.
