Chapter 113

Diana’s pov

Avia’s expression was momentarily brilliant, but she remained more composed than

Kate.

“Even if the dress you’re wearing is authentic, it doesn’t change the fact that you wore a fake ‘Ocean Heart‘ centerpiece!” Avia asserted.

Kate quickly caught on. “Yes! Avia is right! You should still be arrested!”

Mrs. Wayne had joined the scene, her face stern as she addressed Nathan. “Although

Diana has a special status, this is still our Dark Moon Pack, and it’s your engagement banquet. Diana openly provoking your fiancée by wearing a fake item gives us grounds to apprehend her. Even Alpha Marc shouldn’t interfere. Nathan, time has been wasted enough; this farce should end!”

Nathan furrowed his brow slightly but remained silent. His long, thick eyelashes concealed his eyes, leaving me unable to discern his emotions or thoughts. I suspected he was weighing the pros and cons–deciding whether exposing the situation with Alpha Marc was worth it to maintain the Pack’s reputation. I couldn’t think of any other reason that would convince him.

As Mrs. Wayne saw Nathan’s indecision, she gave a direct order, “Someone! Seize Diana, this wretched woman!‘

Marc, no longer indifferent, was about to step forward to shield me when a graceful figure preemptively embraced me.

“None of you are allowed to touch Diana!”

Nora’s sharp voice echoed through the venue, driving back those who intended to approach me. She turned, looking at me nervously, her eyes filled with concern. “Diana, are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” I reassured Nora, gripping her in return. “Why did you come back? I told you to rest at the hotel. You shouldn’t be here-

“Forget about me for now.” Nora’s tone was serious. “Do you have any idea how worried I was when you didn’t respond to my messages? I’m glad I came back; otherwise, who knows how much these idiots would have harassed you!”

Nora’s anger grew with her words. I sighed silently. Nora’s care often led to chaos. She didn’t consider that with Marc and April present, I wouldn’t truly be bullied. “I’m really fine.” I comforted Nora. “But what about you? Is the rash on your neck. gone?”

“I’m fine too.” Nora insisted. “Just wait; I’ll teach these idiots a lesson!”
