Chapter 1364:


    Raegan’s vision blurred, and the blood drained from her face.


    “He imed to serve Mr. M,” the subordinate added in a whisper.


    Raegan staggered, the world tilting.


    Mr. M. The leader of The Mask.


    Confirmation struck like a guillotine. She whirled toward Maia, hatred zing scarlet in her eyes.


    Why always her? What was so good about her? It was frustrating.


    In Raegan’s eyes, the leader belonged to her alone. Not Maia. Never!


    Rage crystallized into lethal resolve.


    She faced her operatives, voice dropping to cial steel. “That man is an imposter. Lethally dangerous. Eliminate Maia. Now.”


    Under the spotlight, Death—Grayson—once again removed the mask. His features wereid bare before the silent, expectant crowd.


    In the stillness that settled over the venue, he turned slightly and offered Maia a refined, almost old-fashioned bow. When he spoke, his tone was modest yet carried a powerful certainty. “Ms. Watson, although I was the one who won the ‘Angel’s Tear,’ I have said from the start that it belongs to you, and only you. No one else is worthy of owning it.”


    He straightened slowly, his focus shifting to Kiley. His voice was not loud, but it carried undeniable authority. “Therefore, a transfer of the item is unnecessary.”


    A faint smile touched his lips. “The ‘Angel’s Tear’ is already in the hands of its true owner.”


    Another ripple of astonishment surged through the audience. Grayson’s serene smile didn’t waver, hisposure suggesting that everything was unfolding exactly as he intended.


    He had not dared to let Maia transfer the “Angel’s Tear” rashly, partly out of distrust for Cooper Group, and partly because it was entirely pointless.


    With an unshakable demeanor, he promised, “I will cover all the expenses. The auction can proceed. My statement stands—Mr. M will take all of Maia’s auction items.”

    His deration sent another wave of excitement through the crowd.


    “Does that mean Mr. M is donating three billion dors without even taking the item?”


    “He’s supporting Maia unconditionally with his wealth!”


    “Oh my! I’m so envious. If I were Maia, I would marry Mr. M on the spot.”


    The live broadcast exploded withments.


    “Did you see that,dies? A man who truly loves you will buy you jewels without a second thought.”


    “This just proves that outstanding people attract outstanding partners. Maia deserves all of this.”


    “Even with so many men adoring her, I can’t bring myself to be jealous. Maia is simply worthy of it all.”


    “The ‘Angel’s Tear’ belongs to Maia, and only her. That line gave me chills.”


    Kiley offered a delicate, cheerful smile. “Of course.”
