Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 298

Chapter298.

Mason sneered. So that’s why she’s calm – waiting for Grayson to swoop in.*

He knew Grayson’s extravagant gestures towards me; a few million silver coins were nothing to him.

Mason raised the bid a million, his voice ringing out, “Four million!”

Tina, beside Preston, scoffed.

“Is he trying to artificially inflate the price? If he wants to donate, why the theatrics? He could simply contribute directly.”

Preston, attempting to regain Tina’s favor, chimed in,

“What a foolish display!”

Tina sneered.“Foolishness is one thing, but Mason is both foolish and wicked!

Parading his mother’s relic to impress some naive she–wolf…

The more they show off, the more ridiculous they appear!”

Every word struck Emily like a poisoned dart.

She still hadn’t fully uncovered Tina’s background.

Investigations revealed the Green family’s considerable overseas influence and murky domestic connections, but the details remained

elusive.

In the past, I would have silenced her.

Calling me a “flashy chicken“? She’s the true chicken! Her whole family are flashy chickens!

But she couldn’t risk a confrontation now; she had to restrain her wolf’s fury.

Emily plastered on a sweet smile.

“Tina, my brother truly treasures this necklace. It’s a family heirloom, and selling it cheaply would be disrespectful.

Besides, the more funds we raise, the more pups we can help.”

Tina ignored her, rising to move seats. Emily’s words hung in the air, lifeless, shattering what little remained of her carefully constructed image.

*Just you wait,* Emily thought, her wolf seething.

Grayson and Mason continued their escalating bids, adding a million each time. They were at seven million in moments!

Tina, now beside me, smiled innocently.

“Keep bidding,” she whispered.

“Your brother’s little she–wolf said it doesn’t matter who donates, as long as it helps those pups in the mountain territories. The more,

the merrier!”

My own wolf bristled; the scent of Grayson’s alpha pheromones, usually calming, felt charged with the electricity of the ongoing rivalry.

The thrill of the game mixed with the underlying tension of his protective concern for me.
