Five Alphas Kneel for Me (Isabella) novel Chapter 299

Chapter299.

Grayson chuckled, raising his paddle.

“Eight million.”

Mason didn’t hesitate.

“Nine million.”

The auctioneer, his excitement palpable, announced, “We’re on the verge of ten million! Let’s witness this momentous occasion together!” His hand trembled slightly as he looked at Grayson, tapping the gavel gently.

“Nine million, first call.”

The entire Pack Council held its breath, anticipating Grayson’s next move.

But Grayson casually lowered his paddle, a look of amusement on his face, and watched with everyone else.

“Nine million… Generous of Mason. Has he even earned nine million in all these years? Throwing money around like it’s nothing!”

I stifled a laugh, and said casually, “Grayson, he must have been inspired by your earlier words. He figures if he doesn’t spend a billion silver coins on Emily, it won’t show how much he loves his sister, so he’s seizing this opportunity for a grand display.”

Grayson smirked, a glint in his eye.”Well, I’m certainly looking forward to it.”

The auctioneer announced, “Nine million, second call!”

Seeing Grayson’s inaction, the host urged the auctioneer to conclude the sale, fearing a change of heart from the bidder.

The auctioneer declared, “Nine million, third call! Nine million, sold!”

The gavel slammed down.

“Bang!”

The lighting immediately focused on Mason and Emily.“Congratulations to Alpha Miller for winning the necklace for nine million silver coins!”

The praise flowed.“Alpha Miller’s generosity is truly commendable! Thank you for your support!”

Sweat beaded on Mason’s forehead.

*Nine million on his own donation? This is a catastrophic loss!*

He wasn’t crazy enough to do that!

A trap… Grayson had set a trap!

But how? How had he fallen for it? Why had Grayson bid so aggressively, only to suddenly withdraw?

“Grayson!” Mason glared, his rage barely contained. “Didn’t you say you considered Isabella like a sister?

You’d spend lavishly on her! She wanted that necklace back, why didn’t you bid?” My wolf felt a pang of sympathy for Mason, and a surge of protective instinct around Grayson.

It was the kind of protective instinct only a Luna could feel for her destined mate.
