Chapter 106 âYou dare? I am Alpha Nathanâs fiancée!â
Aviaâs fierce gaze scanned the surroundings.
Upon hearing the name Alpha Nathan, the bodyguards hesitated, reluctant to continue their actions.
April cleared her throat, âIf thereâs a problem, Iâll take responsibility. For now, you just need to follow Lunaâs orders.â
The bodyguards no longer hesitated, forcibly attempting to escort Avia out of the restaurant.
Avia finally realized that her Luna status in the Blade Moon Pack didnât carry much weight, and she stopped struggling and shouting.
âDonât touch me, I can walk by myself!â She coldly rebuked, then turned to me, âDiana, just wait and see. On the day of the engagement banquet, I will wear more precious jewelry than Noraâs design. I believe youâve heard of the brand âOcean Heart.â Its position in the jewelry industry is beyond what a small designer can compare with! At that time, I will shine with the flagship treasure of âOcean Heart,â and everyoneâs attention will be on me!â
After saying this, Avia snorted and left the restaurant with her maid.
April immediately rolled her eyes, waving at me, âDonât let her ruin our good mood for dinner.
I agreed wholeheartedly, continuing to dine as if nothing had happened.
A few seconds later, April abruptly stopped all movements, lifting her head in surprise.
âOcean Heart?â She seemed to just realize, âDiana, if I remember correctly, the founder of âOcean Heartâ is Jennifer!â
âOcean Heartâ is a globally renowned superâjewelry brand.
If it dares to claim second place, no other brand dares to claim first.
Its chief jewelry designer, âCrystal,â is a titan in the jewelry design industry.
The works she designs are priceless.
Little does anyone know, the mysterious designer Crystal, whom countless people yearn to see, is actually the former Luna of the Blade Moon Pack, my mother, Jennifer.
And Nora is, in fact, a student of my mother.
Thatâs why Nora always likes to be with me-
She admires my mother, thus extending that admiration to me.
âYeah,â I nodded, âAfter my motherâs death, Iâve been managing âOcean Heart.ââ
âSo, if Avia claims she can get âOcean Heartâ jewelry, is...â
âSheâs dreaming.â I scoffed, âSomeone like her isnât worthy of wearing my motherâs designs.â
âYouâre right...â
Probably recalling Aviaâs words and actions just now, April made a disdainful sound.
After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at me meaningfully.
âDiana, I have a suggestion.â
âWhat?â
âImagine this if Avia desperately wants to get her hands on the flagship treasure of âOcean Heartâ she mentionedâthe Crystal Golden Crown how do you think sheâll react when she sees it on you? I bet her expression will be very amusing.â
April licked her lips, looking like a mischievous little devil.
I sighed, reluctantly saying, âForget it, I donât want to bother with Avia...â
âHow can you forget? Just the thought of Aviaâs arrogance earlier makes me so angry! I donât care; even if itâs for me, you must settle this score.â
âApril...â
âOh, my stomach hurts...â April started clutching her stomach and groaning, occasionally stealing glances at me to observe my reaction.
I could only pick up my phone and called the manager temporarily handling âOcean Heart,â instructing him to deliver the flagship treasure to my villa.
As soon as the call ended, April sat up straight, eating from her plate as if nothing had happened, showing no signs of discomfort.
Aviaâs POV âBitch! Damn bitch!â I was so angry that my lungs felt like they were about to explode; I had to release the overwhelming rage by shouting.
Diana... How dare she conspire with that hateful designer to play tricks on me?
Why hasnât Diana died yet?
Why did all the people I sent to assassinate her fail?
The racetrack, the garage... why did she manage to escape every time?
Why!
âAh ah ah!â I couldnât control my roar.
âLuna...â My maid followed behind me, cautiously calling me.
I turned around, and she flinched her neck suddenly.
Her reaction made me even more furious.
âAm I such a terrifying monster? Will I kill you? Who are you showing this timid appearance to?â I sternly scolded, gripping the maidâs ear tightly.
She screamed in pain, begging for mercy continuously.
âI was wrong... I was wrong, Luna, please spare me... please, I beg you...â
I disdainfully let go of her ear, glaring at her, âWhat are you calling me for?â
âThat...â The maid assessed my expression timidly and asked, âDo we really have to buy the flagship treasure of âOcean Heartâ?â
âNonsense! Do you think Iâm just bragging in front of that bitch Diana?â
My maid is truly an irritating fool.
âBut... but all our money was used to buy the diamond necklace, and now thereâs no money in the account.â
I was stunned, my whole body stiff.
Damn! Itâs all because of that bitch Diana; if it werenât to surpass her, I wouldnât have impulsively spent three billion on a useless diamond necklace!
However, even with these three billion, itâs not enough for me to buy the flagship treasure of âOcean Heart.â
I need to think of another way.
âOr, we tell Alpha...â
âNo! Absolutely not!â Without thinking, I rejected the maidâs suggestion, âAbsolutely canât let Nathan know about this.â
Iâve worked hard to make Nathanâs heart lean towards me again; I canât let him know anything that might tarnish my image.
My brain spun rapidly, and suddenly, a figure appeared in my mind.
âYou go back first.â I told the maid, âIâll figure out the money issue myself.â
âBut...â
âDonât you understand what Iâm saying? Those commoners from the Blade Moon Pack donât respect me, and now you donât respect me either?â
âNo... no no no!â The maid shook her head frantically, âI absolutely didnât mean that. Iâll leave now, right now.â
The maid turned to leave.
âWait a minute.â I stopped her, âGive me your phone.â
The maid didnât dare hesitate, quickly taking out her phone from her pocket and handing it to me. Then she hurriedly left my sight, crawling away.
I picked up the phone, entered a number I knew by heart, and made the call.
âThe usual place, I want to see you.â
An hour and a half later, in a mysterious hotel far from the city, I met the person I wanted to see.
A man stood by the window with his back to me, holding a cigar.
âI thought you wouldnât meet me alone again,â his dangerous voice entered my ears, âAfter all, youâre engaged to Nathan.â
I gritted my teeth and, with determination, stated my purpose.
âI need money.â
A mocking laugh echoed, and the man finally turned around. Omar Paradis, Nathanâs Beta, looked at me with disdain.
âYouâre asking me for money? How much do you want?â
âTen billion,â I whispered.
In reality, the flagship treasure of âOcean Heartâ was worth more than a hundred billion, something I couldnât afford. But âten billionâ should cover a dayâs lease, âTen billion?â Omar squinted, âThatâs not a small amount. Why do you think Iâd give it to you?â
âBecause you love me!â I declared firmly.
My hand touched Omarâs neck. I knew there was an invisible chain there, under my control. Omar gazed at me, wanting to kiss me, but suddenly, he pushed me away.
âI love you! You know I love you, but youâre marrying Nathan! Youâre just using me, deceiving me!â
âSo what?â I looked at Omar and, once again, touched his neck. But this time, my sharp nails pierced his skin.
A drop of blood traced down his neck. I smiled, asking, âAre you willing to refuse me? Even if you are, do you dare? Donât forget, for me, youâve betrayed your Alpha more than once! Want me to help you recall?â
Omar trembled abruptly.
âDianaâs garage incident, where she almost got killed, you found the people under my command! The staged rape scenario was also designed by you and me! And... the recent video proving that Diana sent someone to rape me, after you modified it with faceâswapping technology, and handed it to Nathan!â
âStop!â Omar roared with bloodshot eyes, gasping heavily, seemingly unwilling to face those past events.
I chuckled.
âOmar, you canât refuse me. From the moment you fell in love with me behind Nathanâs back, youâve been tied to me. If Iâm fine, youâre fine. If Iâm doomed, youâre doomed with me. So... continue to love me, fulfill my demands, make me happy, make me happy, okay?â
âWhat about me?â Omar turned to look at me, âWill you care about me?â
I fell silent, feeling waves of disgust and annoyance.
I only love Nathan. Omar is just a lowly Beta; how dare he think I would care about him?
Omar seemed to understand my gaze, smiled sadly, and then his expression suddenly became fierce.
He grabbed my wrist, tightened his grip, and said viciously, âWhy would I fall in love with a woman like you?â
He seemed to be asking me, but it was as if he was asking himself.
But it didnât matter.
I smiled and said, âYouâve already fallen in love.â
Veins bulged on Omarâs forehead.
He sneered, âFine, Avia, go ahead and exhaust my love for you. Letâs look forward to who will be the loser first.â

He pressed ny shoulders, forcing me to kneel on the ground, beneath him.
âDonât you want ten billion? Iâll give it to you. Lick me, just like you used to beg me every time, pleasing me like a whore underneath me, my... mate!â
In the evening, Omar left the hotel.
And my bank account now had an extra ten billion.
Mission accomplished, I felt extremely relaxed.
I eagerly called the hotline âOcean Heart,â proposing my request to lease their flagship treasure for a day.
â... I can pay ten billion dollars, I donât think youâd refuse my offer, right? I-â âSorry, miss.â A cold voice from the receptionist on the other end interrupted, âOur flagship treasure was bought by a collector this noon.â
âWhat did you say?â I gripped the phone in disbelief, âHow could it be bought? Your flagship treasure is worth over a hundred billion! Who could afford it? You...â
âSorry, we canât disclose that.â
âAnd who is the buyer?â I asked.
âSorry, we canât say that either.â
The receptionist hung up.
âAh ah ah!â I screamed in frustration, barely restraining myself from throwing the phone.
Calm down, I must calm down!
I swallowed hard, hands shaking as I dialed another number.
âInvestigate!â I roared, âI want to know who bought the flagship treasure of âOcean Heart this noon.â
Twenty minutes later, the person on the other end returned my call.
âSorry, miss, we couldnât find the specific buyer of âOcean Heartâsâ flagship ine receptionist nung up.
âAh ah ah!â I screamed in frustration, barely restraining myself from throwing the phone.
Calm down, I must calm down!
I swallowed hard, hands shaking as I dialed another number.
âInvestigate!â I roared, âI want to know who bought the flagship treasure of âOcean Heart this noon.â
Twenty minutes later, the person on the other end returned my call.
âSorry, miss, we couldnât find the specific buyer of âOcean Heartâsâ flagship treasure, but based on nearby surveillance, an eightyâyearâold entrepreneur from Crimson Claw Pack visited âOcean Heartâ
today, and we speculate that he bought the flagship treasure.â
Crimson Claw Pack?
âWhat about that old entrepreneur?â I inquired.
âHeâs already boarded a plane back to their Pack.â
I remained silent for a moment.
My tense heart finally relaxed.
Crimson Claw Pack was far from Blade Moon Pack and Dark Moon Pack, with little communication between Packs. Perhaps... I could forge âOcean Heartâsâ flagship treasure.
After all, the old entrepreneur had left, and no one would expose me.
As for âOcean Heart,â to maintain its mystique, they refused all invitations. Thus, there was no chance theyâd find out I wore a fake flagship treasure.
Thinking this, I said to the person on the other end of the line, âHelp me contact the best counterfeit jewelry master in the black market.â
