Chapter 31
Cynthia snorted. “You’ve guessed it. How boring.”
She leaned the upper half of her body on the desk, compressing her overly generous bosom in the process.
Her long legs were slightly parted under her dress. Her ass was elevated, showing off the curve of her ass.
She sported a teasing look in her eyes as she whined flirtatiously to Xavier.
Xavier ignored her subtle seduction in response.
After a pause, he said in a deep voice, “Don’t tell Lucretia about my return to Oceanheim for now.”
“Understood, boss.” She injected a lot of charm into her response.
With that, Cynthia fell into a deep reminiscence.
She belonged to one of the Sixteen Clans of Starhaven and was the descendant of the disappeared Lopez clan.
Five years ago, after being saved by Xavier coincidentally, she concealed her identity and stayed in the Diamonds Group. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Later, Cynthia demonstrated talent in business.
Within the short span of five years, she turned the Diamonds Group into a cross-domain commercial giant.
In the entire Diamonds Group, no one knew about her true identity.
Everyone only knew that the person in charge of the Diamonds Group was a remarkable woman called “Aurora”
Aurora was Cynthia’s codename.
“By the way, the auction is about to start. Do you want to go down and take a look?” Cynthia asked tentatively after coming
back to her senses.
“Sure. Let’s go take a look,” he said.
Xavier nodded. He followed Cynthia to the 10th floor of the Galaxy Hotel.
After the Diamonds Group entered Oceanheim, it chose to operate out of the Galaxy Hotel. In other words, the Galaxy Hotel was its office.
After all, the nature of the Galaxy Hotel was a comprehensive business hotel that integrated offices, residences, and entertainment.
It was also a crucial reason why the Galaxy Hotel became a six-star hotel.
Xavier entered a private room where the surrounding walls had long been replaced by semi- transparent black glass.
It allowed the occupants in the private room a clear view from the inside to the outside, but those who were outside were unable to see in as the glass remained opaque when viewed from the outside.
Such private rooms were generally used to entertain billionaires with a net worth of over a hundred billion. Those billionaires preferred a certain amount of privacy and anonymity.
Soon the glaring lights lit up outside the hall.
The auction officially began.
“Welcome. Welcome to the auction held by the Diamonds Group. This is the first time it has held an auction in Oceanhe
Tonight, there will be a total of 20 exquisite pieces made with precious diamonds up for auction…
“The first auction item is a necklace called ‘Rainbow Delight. It is made with rare red diamonds. The starting bid is 200 thousand dollars, with increments of 2 thousand dollars. The auction begins now.”
As the auctioneer struck the gavel, someone immediately placed a bid.
“202 thousand dollars.”
“204 thousand dollars.”
“206 thousand dollars.”
The price soared all the way until it stopped at 270 thousand dollars. The piece was bought by a young tycoon.
On the other side, in a luxurious and spacious private room, Bob Anderson from the younger generation of the Anderson clan in Starhaven and a young man named Owen Berg from the Berg clan were chatting away happily.
Bob was tall and handsome, while Owen appeared somewhat thinner in comparison and had a pale complexion.
“Owen, we are not in Starhaven now. There aren’t so many rules here. Relax and have fun. You can do whatever you like.”
After saying that, Bob reached under the top of the woman next to him.
The woman was named Victoria Hersey, from the second-tier Hersey family in Oceanheim.
Moreover, Victoria had another identity, that of Lucretia’s university classmate.
Victoria groaned. Under the touch of Bob’s fingers, Victoria’s face quickly turned red. A sensation like an electric shock surged through her body.
However, she dared not make a sound. She only bit her teeth and endured silently.
It was because she knew the man in front of her came from the Eight Clans of Starhaven. He was not someone she could offend.
Victoria also knew that what she had to do was to use all her tricks to please the man.
So she unbuttoned two buttons on her top, revealing a large expanse of her chest.
“Owen, see. This is what a woman from Oceanheim looks like. They’re really fucking slurry.” Bob spoke arrogantly and with blatant disdain.
At that moment, Owen looked at Victoria and asked, “Victoria, let me ask you, is the number one beauty in Oceanheim called Lucretia?”
Victoria heard this and immediately said, “Mr. Berg, Lucretia is my university classmate, and she works at the Diamonds Group
“I see. Do you have her contact information then?”
“Mr. Berg, if you want to meet Lucretia, I’ll call her right away.”
“Good. Go ahead and call her now.”
Victoria took out her phone and dialed Lucretia’s number.
Lucretia was looking at backstage data when she suddenly received a call.
“Hello, Laucretia. It’s me, Victoria. The Diamonds Group is holding an auction today, and I’m in the 502 private room on ti tenth floor. I’ve got some friends who want to meet you…”
Lucretia felt a bit surprised but did not think too much when she received
Five minutes later, following the room number provided by Victoria, Lucretia arrived on the 10th floor.
She knocked on the door of the private room.
“Come in.”
When Lucretia entered the private room, she saw Victoria lying in a man’s arms.
Lucretia, you’re here. Let me introduce you. This is the Bob Anderson of the Anderson clan in Starhaven, and that one is Owen Berg of the Berg clan.”
Seeing that Lucretia was in a daze, Victoria warmly approached her.
She then pushed Lucretia in front of Bob.
When Bob and Owen saw Lucretia, both of them were firmly attracted by her looks and temperament instantly.
Victoria. I’m working right now. Let’s chat another day.”
Seeing the atmosphere in the private room. Lucretia frowned deeply and declined.
In response to Lucretia’s answer, Victoria couldn’t hold back her displeasure and said, “Lucretia, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Berg are core members of the Eight Clans of Starhaven. They are VIPs of the Diamonds Group. Don’t the Diamonds Group want to continue to do business with them?”
Γ
Upon hearing that, Lucretia glanced at Bob and Owen
For some reason, she felt a strong aversion when she saw the two of them.
However, because of the Diamonds Group, Lucretia forcefully suppressed her displeasure and sat far away from them.
Bob and Owen exchanged a glance. A hint of cunning flashed across their eyes.
When Lucretia wasn’t watching. Owen secretly poured a powdery substance into a glass of wine and pushed it in front of
Lucretia
“Ms. Pemberley, if you don’t mind, have a drink with us?”
“Sorry, Mr. Berg. I don’t drink,” Lucretia refused.
Owen’s face darkened instantly. He said unhappily. “So Ms. Pemberley, you look down on those of us who came from Starhaven. Or is this how the Diamonds Group treats its guests?”
Seeing Owen unhappy, Victoria immediately stepped forward to mediate. She said, “Lucretia, Mr. Berg and the others specially came from Starhaven to attend today’s auction. You are the hostess and should fulfill the duties of a host. Morcover, if you offend these two, I’m afraid… the days of the Diamonds Group in Oceanheim won’t be easy.”
By the end of her speech, Victoria’s voice was lowered to a whisper.
As expected, Lucretia’s expression changed slightly when she heard what Victoria said.
After hesitating for several minutes, she picked up the glass and drank it all in one go.
What followed was glass after glass of wine.
Soon, after drinking 20 glasses of wine, Lucretia’s face turned red.
Combined with the dim lighting, she became extremely enchanting and alluring. The sight of her wildly stimulated Owen desires.
“What’s happening to me? My head hurts so much…
At that moment, Lucretia suddenly felt uncomfortable all over as if an indescribable sensation was spreading within her.
Eventually, she collapsed on the couch. She gradually sank into unconsciousness.
Upon seeing this scene, Owen’s eyes revealed a triumphant expression.
