Rebirth: An Assassin's Revenge

“100 million!” Alexander directly said without wasting time. “Is that enough to cover the losses for breaking the engagement with the Oaks?”

The moment he said that, even Luna was shocked.

Had Alexander gone… crazy?

There was only silence within the room. Alexander then went over and sat on the sofa after Julius motioned him with his hand, and then said, “If you’re reluctant, President Brooke, I can always use some other method.”

Julius knew what he meant. However, he was still not willing to be suppressed by Alexander especially when he was at that age. He then said, “Alexander, not everything can be solved by money. Plus, this is a family matter. I don’t want any outsiders to have a hand in this!”

“Family matter?” Alexander raised his eyebrow. His delicate face was instantly filled with wickedness. “I’ve already said during the party that I’m going to marry Luna. That means that the Brooke family’s matters are mine as well. How can I be considered an outsider?”

Julius had just been brainwashed by Flora and her daughter earlier. He believed that Alexander had led her away because he knew that she was mentally ill. He wouldn’t really marry her.

However, Alexander came back together with her. And he was willing to give him 100 million so that he could marry Luna?

No! That must be a dream!

“Are you sure, Alexander?” Flora couldn’t help but interrupt. “After her mother’s passing, Luna has always been mentally unstable. It’s not a big problem, but if this brings you any problem, then…”

Alexander glanced at her and said, “I’m quite happy with Luna. She’s smart and understanding, and she’s much better than what you’ve said here to be, madam. Meanwhile, you shouldn’t have said anything like this in front of others to damage Luna’s reputation even if she’s really sick! There’s nothing I can do about the past, but from now on, Luna is also my wife. Since that’s the case, I don’t want to hear about this again!”

What Alexander had said had stopped Flora from saying anything else. Luna knew that with him here, it was already decided.

She turned towards her room and then packed up the things that she wanted to use into a piece of luggage. When she was packing up her dressing table, she realized that the diamond bracelet that her mother had left her had disappeared!

That was the only thing that mother had left for her. In her memory, she had always been keeping it safe.

But now, all there was left was an empty velvet box!

And the only person that could enter her room freely was Eve!

“My bracelet!” Luna didn’t even want to disguise her emotion and said with a cold expression. “Take it out. Now!”

Eve merely looked at her with an innocent face instead of being overbearing like before and asked, “What are you talking about, Sister? What bracelet? I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“The diamond bracelet that my mother left me. Did you take it?” That was the only thing that the original’s mother had left for her. She would not allow it to fall into their hands. She said, “I checked it the night before the birthday party, and it’s now gone! Other than Mrs. Maria, you’re the only one that has entered my room. Who else if it wasn’t you? Eve, return my bracelet!”

“Sister, I have no use for your bracelet! You can’t frame me like this!” Eve’s eyes were instantly filled with tears, as if she really didn’t do anything. “Dad! Mom! Look at Luna… Ah…”

Julius glanced at Alexander’s facial expression and quickly tried to control the situation. He asked, “Luna, can you double-check? Did you put it somewhere else?”

“Did you take my bracelet and use it to pay for your brother’s gambling debt?” Luna walked towards the crying young woman as if she didn’t hear Julius’s question, and held Eve’s chin in her hand. “Tell me! Who did you sell it to?”

Eve had stolen plenty of her jewelry to pay for her younger brother’s debt. But there were only a few people that she could sell to. As long as Eve gave her a name, she could then get it back one way or another.

However, it was obvious that Eve didn’t want to admit it. She looked at her with a painful expression, as if she had just been abused. She said, “Sister, how have I offended you? Why must you humiliate me again and again! There’s nothing between Clarence and me…”

Julius immediately stood before Luna and scolded her, as if something in that sentence made him uncomfortable. “Enough, Luna! You’ve already caused enough damage! It’s just a bracelet. You can always buy a new one!”

Luna took a deep breath, controlling herself so that she would not let her tears flow after listening to those painful words. “Buy another one? That was the only thing that my mom left for me! She…”

“Luna!” Before she could finish, Alexander suddenly stood up, came right next to her, and whispered, “It’s late, we should go!”

As he lowered his head, she could see those dark eyes. It seemed to have some mysterious power and made her instantly calm down.

Luna’s clenched fists were slowly loosened, and she grabbed Alexander’s hand that was extended towards her, saying, “True! We should go!”

“Right,” Alexander suddenly turned to Eve. “I heard that you’re having a personal art exhibition? I will surely attend it when the time comes!”

He gave her a smile, which made Eve shudder. Even Flora and Julius couldn’t help but shiver.

Luna’s heart skipped a beat. Alexander said that he knew how to find the bracelet. She thought that she had to stop here, but she didn’t expect for Alexander to prepare a surprise for her!

True! Since she had lost her most beloved possession, then there was no need for the art exhibition that Eve had prepared for three years to improve her reputation in this social circle to exist!

That was karma.

An eye for an eye!
