Mia Ashworth was jolted back to reality by Luna’s words. With Luna having already suffered indignity, any further anger or frustration was futile. Securing the Tears of the Rose was the only way to justify Luna’s sacrifice. Settling back into their seats, Mia took a deep breath and once again raised her paddle, “Four hundred and sixty million!”
Wiser now, she knew the middle–aged man had agreed not to compete for the Tears of the Rose at Luna!
behest. There was no need to raise the bid too high; winning the necklace for the lowest possible
price was ideal.
The recent scene had left Suzanne Jenkins, Julia Sanders, and others utterly shocked. They never
expected Luna Lyons to go to such lengths. Even Suzanne, a fellow entertainment industry veteran,
couldn’t help but admire Luna’s audacity, giving her a thumbs–up from afar, “Brilliant! She’s got
guts. I bet Luna’s scandal will hit the headlines tomorrow.”
Cassie Palmer, another industry insider, nodded in agreement, “Indeed, Luna is quite daring. If I were publicly humiliated by such a man, I’d make him regret crossing a woman!”
While they were still reeling from Luna’s daring sacrifice, a calm voice suddenly announced, “Five hundred million!”
Julia Sanders, “!!!”
Cassie Palmer, “!!!”
Suzanne Jenkins, “!!!”
What!?
They all turned to see Claire Donovan raising her paddle, their eyes nearly popping out in astonishment.
Julia couldn’t help but laugh mischievously, “Pfft! Hahaha… Claire, Luna Lyons sacrificed so much to get the Tears of the Rose, and here you are, swooping in. I bet she’s fuming!”
Hearing Julia’s comment, Claire put down her paddle and turned to them, “It’s not like that. I’ve had my eye on the Tears of the Rose since the runway show. I simply desire it, nothing more.”

She was telling the truth; she had planned to bid for the Starlight Sapphire and the Tears of the
Rose right from the start. But her innocently calm admission only made Julia and the others laugh
louder.
At the sound of Claire’s bid, Mia Ashworth and Luna Lyons turned sharply towards her. Seeing Julia
and others laughing uproariously, Mia and Luna were on the verge of exploding!
Mia trembled with rage, having just managed to handle the middle–aged man, and now Claire Donoval
appeared, completely indifferent to their plight. She felt an overwhelming urge to confront Claire
and tear off that detestable, loathsome smile from her face.
Claire, feeling their venomous stares, turned towards them. In stark contrast to their hostility, she
offered a gentle, pleasing smile.
“Ah!”
Mia was about to stand up, unable to contain her anger, ready to tear apart Claire’s hateful smile.
“Mom!”
Luna quickly grabbed her hand, forcing her back into her seat. Aware of the eyes on them, she lowered
her voice…
“Mom, this is an auction. No matter how angry we are, we must maintain our composure and not act
impulsively,” Luna counseled Mia Ashworth. Mia didn’t want to be angry, but she couldn’t help it.
Claire Donovan had raised the bid to five hundred million, nearing her limit. How could she possibly
stay calm?
Luna gently patted her shoulder and took the paddle from her hand. With all eyes on her, she
elegantly stood and walked towards Claire Donovan, step by poised step. As Luna approached,
excitement surged in Suzanne Jenkins and Julia Sanders Julia even winked mischievously at Claire,
“She’s not going to use the same tactic she used on that man, is she?”
The memory of the middle–aged man forcefully kissing Luna flashed through Claire’s mind, causing her
to vigorously shake her head, dispelling the distasteful image.
Cassie Palmer scoffed, slapping Julia’s head playfully, “Are you daft? Even if she were to do that,

“Mr Sean Suzanne and Julia immediately turned their gaze towards Sean Vanderbilt, their eyes
alight with anticipation for the unfolding drama Claire frowned deeply. She was certain that if Luna
dared to seduce Sean in her presence, she would make her regret it.
But Luna defying Cassie’s prediction, walked past Sean, standing imposingly before Claire. Looking
down at Claire the displayed none of the humility one would expect from a supplicant. Instead, she
