Diana didn’t want to be humiliated like this, but this was Starlight Media’s place, and they could arrange things however they wanted. If she caused trouble again, she wouldn’t be able to stay here.
“Mom, let’s go.” She wasn’t in the mood to explain and pulled Pamela outside.
Erica pursed her lips as if nothing had happened.
Not long after, Morgan and Nancy approached.
They sat down.
Right next to her.
“Is that woman Erica?”
Finally, someone recognized her and spoke in a low voice.
“Didn’t she marry Mr. Morgan? Why…”
Although she had hidden herself for the past four years and never showed her face, back then, Nancy had deceived others and was caught by Morgan and the reporters at the scene.
It was she who stood next to Morgan and announced that they had peacefully broken up a long time ago. She was Morgan’s current girlfriend, and they were preparing to get married.
At that time, this was quite a big deal, and everyone had some memories associated with it.
The gazes of those around became silent as they turned their attention to her, Morgan, Nancy, and Thomas. The scent of gossip grew stronger.
“Thank you for your concern, we have already divorced,” Erica stood up to clarify.
Today, at least she maintained the image of Thomas’s girlfriend, so she couldn’t make everyone feel that Thomas was involved with a married woman.
Initially, Thomas was indifferent, but Erica’s explanation made him furrow his brow.
His expression turned dark!
In his thoughts, Erica was bragging about being favored by another man right after her divorce.
Erica didn’t care about what he was thinking. She sat down, bowed her head, and discussed the auction with Thomas.
The auction was about to begin.
“Morgan, I want that phoenix crown.”
As the auctioneer raised the red fabric of the last lot, Nancy called out in a low voice.
That phoenix crown was the most expensive item tonight, and it was also Erica’s planned auction item!
She had always been haunted by a dream of wearing a phoenix crown and organizing a grand wedding with the person she loved the most.
Although that dream had faded away, her love for the crown had never wavered.
When Nancy said she wanted the phoenix crown, her eyes turned towards Erica, carrying a challenging look on her bright and elegant face.
Did Nancy notice that Erica had been admiring that crown?
Snatching someone else’s husband and wanting to take away what the other person cherished the most?

Of course, she wouldn’t let it go.
When Nancy raised the bidding paddle, Erica also raised hers.
“8,100,000.”
“8,200,000…”
The staff announced the price on the stage.
The starting price for this phoenix crown was not low, and only Nancy and Erica bid for it.
The two of them aimed to win the phoenix crown.
Another battle ensued.
Doing something meaningful once again…
The eyes of those present became more and more significant, all fixed on the two of them.
The price quickly soared to 20 million dollars.
“Ding.” Her phone suddenly rang, indicating a new message.
Erica looked down and was stunned when she saw the number the message was from.
It was Morgan!
Could it be that he knew her phone number?
Erica thought it was simply magic.
The message sent by Morgan was just a few words: “Don’t overestimate yourself!”
Simple as always.
Clearly, he thought she didn’t have the ability to buy the phoenix crown, and her bidding was purely out of anger.
Ah!
Because he liked to think that way, she would let him think whatever he wanted.
Erica raised her paddle again, “40 million!”
“Oh!”
Suddenly, it jumped from 20 million to 40 million, leaving all the audience gasping in surprise.
Nancy, who had been bidding all along, slowly put her paddle down, her face filled with endless pity, looking quite pitiful.
“45 million.” Morgan suddenly took Nancy’s bidding paddle and started bidding on her behalf.
As soon as he finished speaking, another exclamation followed!
40 million wasn’t a small amount, yet there were still people willing to follow!
Erica also looked at Morgan.
Was he trying to help his lover?
It turned out that genuinely loving someone meant caring for them unconditionally, even if the other person was just slightly resentful.
Chapter 20
He wanted to protect Nancy, but she had no obligation to do the same.
Erica promptly followed, “50 million!”
Next, the price soared by 5 million and suddenly reached 90 million!
This price had far exceeded the value of the phoenix crown itself.
“Erica, can we discuss this?” Nancy suddenly stood up.
“I really like this phoenix crown, and I still want to wear it at my wedding. I beg you, Erica, please let me have it… don’t bid anymore.”
She looked sincere, and after saying those words, she couldn’t help but glance at Morgan as if she was suffering from love.
Erica pursed her lips.
If she didn’t let go, they would definitely think that she couldn’t let go of Morgan and didn’t want them to get married.
It was just a phoenix crown.
Erica felt that there was no reason to compete, and she was ready to put down her paddle.
“Ninety million once, ninety million twice, ninety million thrice…”
“One hundred million dollars!”
Just when everyone thought the phoenix crown would belong to Morgan and Nancy, another voice shouted.
Smoothly.
Simple!
