Chapter 87


    87. Famous For Hooking Up With Gigolos


    Trantor: Mr Magnate


    Amanda’s words upset Luna even more, and the woman started crying while burying her face in her


    hands. “Hector doesn’t love me at all. he only has eyes for Charlotte. He does not have any real


    feelings for me… “


    “Alright, hush, hush, stop crying… “ Amanda embraced her daughter with her heart aching. “Silly girl, I


    will definitely stand up for you when the opportunity arises. Let’s go to the lounge to check if you’re


    hurt.”


    Meanwhile, the auction was about to begin. Loud music was being sted in the venue.


    “I feel like heading home,” Charlotte told Zachary. However, thetter did not hear her.


    So, she leaned in closer to his ear and repeated herself, “Mr. Nacht, I feel like heading back first.”


    “It’s still early,” Zachary put his arms around the woman’s slender waist and pulled her into his arms. He


    brushed his cold and thin lips against her cheeks and whispered into her ears, “Was it fun to hook up


    with a gigolo? Huh?”


    “Pfft!” Charlotte was speechless and flustered by his question. She panicked even more when she met


    his wicked gaze and tried to exin, “Actually, what happened back then was… “


    “That wasn’t the first time someone told me about such a matter,” Zachary said in a seductive whisper


    as he bit her earlobes yfully. “It seems like you’re famous for hooking up with gigolos.”


    A numbing tingle ran across Charlotte’s body; she felt as if she was being electrocuted.


    She shuddered. Her heart was thumping so fast that she thought it was going to explode out of her


    chest. She hurriedly distanced herself from him as she shifted a little to the side.


    Zachary couldn’t help but smile faintly upon seeing how flustered the woman was.


    A woman’s sensitivity represented either her passion or purity. No matter which one it was, he was


    equally happy!


    Hector was observing their interactions from a distance. He could feel his heart tightening, and his


    tightly clenched fists were trembling…


    At that moment, he had an impulse to charge over and snatch Charlotte away.


    “Hector, where’s Luna and your mom?” Simon asked, interrupting the man’s thoughts.


    “They’re resting at the lounge,” Hector replied with a frown.


    “What happened just now? You don’t look too good,” the man probed further.


    “Can you ask them yourself and stop bothering me?”


    Simon was taken aback by that reply. Over the years, Hector had always gentlemanly, polite, and well-


    mannered. He had never shown his temper, and even if there were problems, he wouldmunicate


    his thoughts rationally. What’s wrong with him today? Simon wondered.


    “I’m so sorry… “ Hector apologized as he realized that he had lost hisposure. “Dad, I’m sorry for


    letting my emotions get the better of me.”


    “No worries, it’s fine.” Simon smiled. “I know how tormenting it can be handling those two women. Even


    I’m not able to stand them sometimes. Don’t be angry, yeah? I’ll go look for them to make sure they


    don’t stir up any trouble again.”


    “Alright.”

    “Ladies and gentlemen, I shall now officially announce the beginning of bidding for tonight’s charity


    auction.”


    With the emcee’s announcement, a tform was elevated from the center of the stage.


    A ruby ne, which was ced on the crystal table, dazzled under the bright spotlight.


    “Mom, I want that.” Luna saw the ne the moment she returned to the banquet hall and


    immediately took a liking to it.


    “Don’t be in a hurry,” Amanda said softly. “Seven jewelry items that will be auctioned tonight. Every


    single one of them is a prized treasure of F Nation’s royalty and extremely expensive. Besides, given


    the rarity of these items, their closing bids would definitely be at exorbitant prices… “


    “So what if they are exorbitantly priced? It’s not as if my darling is not able to afford it.”


    Luna limped towards the Sterlings’ table with her sprained ankle and deliberately extended her foot in


    front of Hector. She began to choke on her words as sheined, “You don’t even care about me


    even though I’m injured. Even Timothy would know how to show concern for his mom.”


    At that remark, Hector frowned. Even though he really wanted to ignore Luna, his heart softened after


    she brought up their son. So, he said, “Which do you want? I’ll buy it for you.”


    “I want that ruby ne.” Luna pointed at the stage.


    “The starting bid would be ten million, and each bid increment needs to be at least a million,” the


    emcee announced.


    “Do you like that?” Zachary leaned towards Charlotte’s ear and asked.


    “It’s not bad.”


    That ruby ne reminded the woman of her father.


    She had been penniless after her dad passed away, and as ast resort, she had sold the sapphire


    ne her dad had given. It looked somewhat simr to the ruby ne.
