Chapter 21
It was Thomas!
A sneer-
Another gasp resounded, and everyone’s gaze turned towards Thomas.
Erica was also surprised as she looked at him.
“Thomas, you…” Nancy looked at him in confusion.

Thomas stood up. “Miss
wants to wear it at her wedding, and I want to get married too. My girlfriend likes it very much, so I must get it for her!”
This time, Morgan didn’t bid anymore. He just looked at Erica deeply and then led Nancy away without saying a word.
Thomas received the phoenix crown. After making the final payment, he handed it to Erica. “Erica, it’s for you.”
“You… got it for me?” Erica looked at him in astonishment.
She truly believed that he only had eyes for the girl he liked!
“Yeah.” Thomas nodded seriously.
“Are you crazy? Spending 100 million dollars just to make yourself happy?”
One hundred million dollars!
She knew that this was almost all of Thomas‘ savings.
“This phoenix crown is not worth it, you don’t have to be so foolish!” She truly felt sorry for him.
“The phoenix crown may not be worth it, but you worth it.” Thomas remained serious, his eyes shining brightly.
Could she see love in his eyes?
Dazzling.
At the entrance of the auction house, Nancy struggled to catch up with Morgan.
“Morgan, it’s just a crown, I don’t care.”
A pensive expression.
“I won’t get the crown for you.” Morgan said indifferently.
Seeing Erica bidding for the phoenix crown, he suddenly remembered that she had expressed a bit of regret on their wedding night: “I really wanted to have a grand wedding and wear a phoenix–shaped crown.”
Although Erica had divorced him by now, he knew she wasn’t capable of it, and he couldn’t let her deceive herself.
He had warned her beforehand but decided to buy it for Erica.
If she wanted to bid against him out of anger, then compensating her after the divorce was also reasonable.
However, the outcome wasn’t good. Beside Erica, there was a man willing to spend a lot of money for her.
The more that man was willing to spend on her, the more he seemed despicable.
Clearly, this marriage was something Erica was determined to get at all costs.

What reason did he have to be good to a woman who conspired against him?
It hurt!
His chest froze like a stone!
Nancy looked around in confusion.
She had intended to create a gentle, tender, and caring appearance, but she didn’t expect Morgan to be so heartless.
Luckily, there was no one around, otherwise, her face would have hurt like being slapped twice.
Finally, Erica accepted the crown, but she requested Frederi
She wanted to repay him in full that night.
to transfer 100 million dollars from her account to Thomas.
“Erica, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know where to wait for death. If you keep insisting on being fair with me, then I can’t stay at Starlight Media!”
This child…
She just wanted to return the money, why was it so difficult?
Although there were no reporters at the auction venue, the news that Thomas spent 100 million dollars to buy a phoenix crown for Erica spread in the upper–class society.
One morning, Diana answered countless calls, all of them asking about this matter.
“Damn it, Erica, she’s just a piece of trash that the West family doesn’t want, yet Thomas spent so much money on her!”
Diana’s heart, liver, spleen, and stomach felt like they were boiling in hot water when she thought that her favorite idol, in her dreams, wanted to call her a few more times and spend so much money on someone like Erica.
There was nowhere that wasn’t annoying!
“Is Thomas blind? Even if she’s useless, she’s divorced and has a child! If it were me, even if Erica shined my shoes, I would feel dirty!”
Pamela’s complexion wasn’t great either.
Yesterday she had heard about Diana being humiliated by someone else, and only Thomas and Erica dared to challenge them like this.
“Doesn’t Thomas know Erica has a child? This woman can always deceive, so she must have deceived Thomas.” Dania speculated.
“Thomas knows!”
Pamela’s words would only make Diana’s mood worse.
“I’ve heard all about it. Thomas not only knows but also took Erica and that bastard ice–skating!”
Because Diana knew that Thomas didn’t care about Erica having a child, she became even more desperate.
She, as the noble daughter of the Wist family, had confessed her love to Thomas but was straightforwardly rejected by him!
In Diana’s view, she was much superior to Erica in every way!
The more Diana thought about it, the more annoyed she became.
“Mom, Erica won’t make us happy after the divorce, so let’s make her feel uncomfortable!” She suggested to Pamela with determination.
“Since Erica has left the West family, let’s consider her as dead and not bother with her anymore, so as not to diminish our own value.” Pamela cared most about her own reputation and told Diana, “However, there’s still an important thing to do now.”
Diana thought that Pamela had no intention of helping her, and she became so angry that she wanted to jump up. But when she clearly heard what she

wanted to do to Erica, Diana became happily calm again.
“You’re still a formidable mother, hitting her killing spot. This time, she’ll suffer!”
Today Fredrick had a day off, so she and Erica took Lily to school and then stayed at the kindergarten to check on her.
Lily said she didn’t like this kindergarten, so Erica took this opportunity to change schools for her so that nothing would happen to the West family
anymore.
The two of them walked and talked, inevitably discussing the auction last night.
Speaking of Morgan willingly exerting all his efforts to compete for the crown with Erica for Nancy’s sake, Fredrick gritted his teeth with hatred. “Morgan is truly a fool. His greatest talent in life is oppressing you. Fortunately, Thomas was quite clever and he had helped you regain your dignity, allowing him to see firsthand just how popular you, Erica, have become.”
When Thomas was mentioned, Erica couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
The phoenix crown purchased for $100 million now felt like a burning flame to her.
She wasn’t greedy for money, and she didn’t want to be greedy.
Before Erica could come up with a solution, her phone rang.
She lowered her head to answer, and on the other end came a cold voice, “11:30, Ames Café, be on time!”
It wasn’t until the call was disconnected that she remembered the voice belonged to her ex–mother–in–law, Pamela.
