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?”

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
