The Luna Is Gone

Chapter 23

Diana’s pov

I squatted on the ground and picked up the scattered pearls one by one.

Many of them were worn and lost their luster due to being stepped on by Avia.

My heart ached deeply.

I held back my tears and put away all the beads, turning around to leave this place that made me nauseous.

Nathan grabbed my wrist, his eyes filled with regret.

“Diana, I didn’t mean to, I –”

“Don’t f**king touch me!” I shouted.

Tears could no longer be controlled, sliding down my cheeks.

I looked at the man in front of me, who I had loved with all my heart for two years, and smiled sarcastically.

I turned my head aside, trying to calm the inner turmoil, and then spoke to him in the calmest tone possible–

“A year ago, you broke my mother’s necklace for a woman. A year later, you broke my mother’s bracelet for another woman. I really regret… I really regret meeting you. Nathan, if there were another chance, I would never fall in love with you. I would transfer the money of the bracelet to you. 800 million. There won’t be a cent less. From then on, I have nothing to do with you!”

Nathan was stunned by my words..

He opened his mouth as if trying to explain something, but I no longer wanted to listen.

I shook him off with force and, in his shocked gaze, left the hotel without looking back

Returning home, I felt as if I had lost all my strength.

I nestled in the sofa in the living room, curled up together and didn’t want to say a word.

The sound of footsteps came from behind.

Someone touched my head.

“Are you okay?”

It was Marc’s voice.

I turned around and looked at Marc with watery eyes, shaking my head.

Marc sighed and sat down on the sofa, patting his shoulder and signaling me to come to him.

My nose twitched and I got into his arms.

Marc half hugged me and whispered, “I already know about the auction. You can totally tell me this and I will solve it.”

“That’s Mom’s bracelet. I can’t wait.“I choked.

“Mom also doesn’t want to see you suffer for her belongings,” Marc said. “Alright, now tell me, did you successfully retrieve the bracelet?”

“Hmm.” I nodded and took out the pearl from my handbag, “but-”

I couldn’t help but shed tears, “But the bracelet broke, and the pearls… the pearls were also worn.”

Marc took the pearl from my hand and looked at it for a moment before saying, “It’s a small thing. Mom won’t blame you. You’ve already taken back Mom’s bracelet. It’s the person who broke the bracelet to blame, and I will make them pay for it.” Marc called the butler and handed the pearl to him, ordering him to find the best craftsman to repair it.

I sniffed and asked, “What did you mean by saying ‘make them pay for it“?”

Marc’s attitude clearly cooled down. “If Nathan dares to do anything to harm you with his little lover, he should be prepared to declare a war with Blade Moon Pack”

I was startled.

“Are you going to start a war against Nathan?”

“It was he who provoked me first and dared to touch my most precious sister.” Marc’s gaze was cold.

“No,” I quickly dissuaded Marc. “I have already resolved this. Don’t start a war because of me.”

“But–”

Marc wanted to say something else, but the butler who had just left came back “Alpha, a few people arrived at the door. The leader claims to be Jack Chappel, the organizer of tonight‘ s auction. He is clamoring to see you, saying… ” The butler looked at me and added, “Saying that Miss Reist has cut off all the economic and goods sources of Chappel Group, causing their stock prices to drop to the bottom. They are going to declare bankruptcy tomorrow. How do we…”

Marc raised his eyebrows and looked at me with a playful expression.

“You did this?”

“I did it.”

“Send them away,” Marc turned to the butler and said, “Since it’s the order of Diana, just carry it out.”

“Yes.”

The butler turned around and left.

I looked at Marc and said, “Why don’t you ask me why I want Chappel Group to go bankrupt?”

“You must have your own reasons. I know my sister. You will never do anything unreasonable. Besides, they secretly resell mom’s bracelet. It’s already a felony.”

Just as Marc finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.

The butler rushed in and said. “lack won’t leave. He said if vou don’t come forward

and uphold justice, he will die in front of the villa.”

“Then let him die,” Marc said without a trace of emotion.

“Yes!” The butler nodded, “I have –

“Wait a moment,” I quickly stopped the butler. “Is ‘yes‘ your only answer to Marc’s order?”

“I… I…” The butler looked confused.

I looked at Marc and said, “Let’s go meet Jack.”

“This is a waste of time, Diana,” Marc frowned.

“Perhaps. But we can’t let others say that our Blade Moon pack’s Alpha is biased towards his sister and unreasonable.”

Marc looked indifferent and said, “With my strength, you really don’t need to reason

with others.” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Despite this, I don’t want my brother to be gossiped about by others.”

“They dare not.”

“Let’s go, Marc.” I pulled Marc up from the sofa.

Marc might not care about his reputation, but I did.

Coming out of the villa, I saw Jack standing at the door with two staff members who had provoked me at the auction today.

As soon as he saw Marc, Jack immediately pointed at me and complained, “Alpha Marc, do you know what your sister has done?”

Marc looked disinterested and said, “If you’re here to ask me such boring questions, then you can leave.”

Marc turned around to leave, and Jack was in a hurry..

“Wait! Wait Alpha!” Jack chased after Marc, looking embarrassed.

Marc stopped and turned to look at him, saying in a disdainful tone, “You’d better figure out what you’re saying to me.”

Jack nodded repeatedly and summoned the two staff members, “Tell Alpha everything you’ve gone through tonight.”

“Yes!” The two staff members responded in unison.

Then, one of them pointed at me and said, “Alpha Marc, Miss Reist was at the auction today because she was jealous of Alpha Nathan’s girlfriend and wanted to auction off a pearl bracelet for 400 million! We all know you wouldn’t let her spend money so recklessly. She couldn’t afford the bracelet for 400 million at all. So our boss negotiated with Alpha Nathan and then resold the bracelet to Alpha Nathan. As a result, Miss Reist took revenge on the entire Chappel group and wanted us to go bankruptcy!”
