Chapter 712
“You deserve it,” I told her, taking hold of her hand. “Humor me, okay?”
She looked up at me with her big doe eyes, and my heart melted. What I wouldn’t give to pull her onto my lap right about now.
There were a ton of other things that were auctioned at decently high prices; some of which Levi bid and won. I allowed him to bid for those items, hoping to humiliate him myself once this auction was over and it was time to pay.
When he finds himself without money, right before his arrest, it’ll be the cherry on top.
Soon, Cassandra was bringing out the Moon Gem; everyone fell silent with awe as my gorgeous family heirloom was presented. I swallowed when I saw it; I hadn’t laid eyes on it since my father was alive. He told me it would be mine one day, but he died before he ever got the chance to pass it down to me.
Judy sucked in a sharp breath at the sight, her eyes wide.
“Is that it?” She asked, her voice nothing more than a soft whisper.
I nodded; my words caught in my throat. I wasn’t prepared for the level of emotions I would feel upon seeing it; it shouldn’t be in an auction, and fury rose inside of me. My fists clenched; when I got my hands on Daisy, she was going to pay for this. She stole from my family, and that wasn’t something I took lightly.
“Next up on our auction is a very rare find… one of the rarest,” Edward began as he stood next to the gem. “This is the Moon Gem. I’m sure most of you have heard the rumors of this gem; the one who holds this gem holds the power to be the most powerful Alpha in the world. It was donated by Miss Daisy Baldwin, and the gem itself goes for about 1 billion dollars. So, we will start the bid at 1 billion.”
Judy’s jaw was on the ground, and it would have been comical if I weren’t so focused on winning that gem and making Levi pay for what he was doing.
“2 billion dollars,” Levi said, loud enough for the entire room to hear.
“3 billion,” I said without hesitation.
“You deserve it,” I told her, taking hold of her hand. “Humor me, okay?”

“3 billion,” I said without hesitation.
Levi’s Brow twitched.
“4 billion, he said, his eyes snapping to me, a dangerous glint in this gaze.
“5 billion,” I replied, my eyes dancing with amusement. I wasn’t worried, at least; I knew he was going to keep bidding higher because he thought he had the funds. Jokes on him because not only does he not have access to my funds, but with his cards being cut off thanks to my hackers, he has no access to his own funds either.
As of right now, Levi Was completely broken, and there was no chance he’d be to pay for anything he was bidding for tonight:
“5 billion dollars …” Edward out, his cheeks flushed from the number.
Before Edward could speak , Levi spoke instead.
“6 billon!”
There were Gasps that echoed around the room, eyes wide.
My phone buzzed and I looked to see that Taylor had texted me.
Taylor , their flight landed. I just picked them up, and we are heading to the auction. we will be there in about an hour or so.
“Am I hearing 7 billion?” Edward asked. “There’s no cap on this item.” He added with a nervous chuckle Sweat was heading on his head as he looked between Levi and me.
I leaned back in my seat, my eyes on Edward for a moment before
looked at Levi. He was staring at me with a curious yet smug expression. I knew he was expecting me to continue bidding; he wanted me to be the one to make a fool out of myself when it came down to paying.
de thought be drained mec all my money, and I wouldn’t be able to afford any of this stuff; that’s why he didn’t argue too much longer when I won the necklace.
