A Bride’s Revenge: No Longer The Back Up by Cozy Season

Chapter 109

Ariana glanced at the diamond necklace displayed on the stage and frowned. “The necklace once worn by the Queen of Eaton?”

She remembered this necklace vividly. In her past life, Evelyn had adored it, and Brian had gone to great lengths to secure it for her at the auction. It had become a heated bidding war when Victor, smitten with Evelyn at first sight, had joined the fray, driving the price sky–high.

But why was Victor suddenly bringing up this necklace now

“Actually the necklace is not particularly special,” Victor sad nonchalantly. “But it caught my eye. The starting bid is ten million. No matter how high the price goes, I want you to win it.”

Ariana’s expression darkened upon hearing his words. Win it at any price? With her current financial situation, ten million was a daunting figure. Was Victor deliberately testing her limits?

“What’s wrong? You can’t do it?” Victor asked, his voice tinged with amusement. “If you can’t, I’m sure we can find alternative ways for you to repay me.”

A shiver ran down Ariana’s spine at the implicit threat in his tone. She had always known Victor was a dangerous man. But now that she had caught his attention, if she backed down, all her efforts to secure his favor would have been for nothing.

“Fine. I’ll do it.” Ariana said. “Spending some money for your help doesn’t seem like a bad deal to me.”
