Chapter 30: I''ll Sleep With You Willingly
Rnd put down the catalogue and observed the room quietly.
When the third item came up for bidding, he could clearly see the disdain in the crowd.
The starting bid for the item was 100,000 dors.
At first, no one offered a bid.
Alvera frowned. She turned to look at Rnd, but he did not move, so she grabbed his wrist and raised
his hand. "One million dors."
Rnd smiled but said nothing.
The bidders sitting in front of them were surprised to see Rond bidding so much.
When they turned and saw Alvera sitting beside him, they realized that he was spending for love.
The hall was still silent. As the auctioneer picked up the gravel to seal the price, Alvera shifted in her
seat uneasily.
Suddenly, someone in the first row called out, "Two million dors."
Alvera looked over, clearly relieved.
Rnd raised his paddle and said, "Three million."
They went back and forth, bidding against each other, until the price reached nine million dors.
At this point, Rnd stopped bidding and lowered his paddle.
Alvera looked at him nervously. "Mr. Francois, please."
"Alvera, you''re smart. This is a clever trap to get my money, isn''t it? Tell me, why should I fall for it?" He
asked calmly, crossing his arms.
...
Alvera froze, suddenly realizing that he knew about her n.
How did he know?
Rnd smiled. "No good businessman will buy at a loss."
Alvera swallowed nervously as the auctioneer began calling for final bids.
She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly. "I''ll sleep with you if you bid for this."
"You?"
"You said you want me to sleep with you willingly," she continued. "If you buy this item, I''ll sleep with

you tonight."
Rnd smiled and shifted his eyes towards the stage. "How much do you want?"
"20 million dors."
Rnd raised his paddle calmly. "20 million dors."
This time, the hall was quiet. Nobody countered his bid.
Alvera let out a sigh of relief.
After the auction, Rnd drove the two of them home. Alvera sat in the passenger seat, fondling the
wooden giraffe in her hands gently.
"You have nothing to say to me?"
Alvera nced at him. "I''m not going to apologize for lying to you. I''m broke, this was the only thing I
could think of. Also, I didn''t lie when I said this giraffe was a gift from my grandfather."
Rnd sneered and said nothing.
"How... how did you see through my n?"
"I told you, you''re a bad actress, so don''t try and act in front of me."
Alvera frowned, her mind reeling with anxiety.
When they arrived home, Alvera told Becky to rest early tonight, then turned to Rnd and said, "I''ll go
upstairs and take a bath."
"Who are you going to call this time?" He crossed his arms and looked at her.
She smiled. "I keep my promises, Mr Francois, don''t worry. If I say I''ll sleep with you willingly, I''ll follow
through."
She went upstairs.
In the bathroom, Alvera clenched her teeth as she looked at herself in the mirror. The ugly scars on her
body reminded her of all the hardships and humiliation she had experienced over the past years.
"It''s fine," she told herself. "I''m already unclean. There''s nothing to be scared of."
It would all be worth it as long as Andrina is hurt, watching the man she loved be hers.
When she came out of the bathroom, Rnd had already finished his shower and was waiting for her
on the bed.
"It''s not toote to back out now."
"I should be saying that to you, Mr Francois. I wasn''t the one who backed out thest two times."
"Are you ming me?"
She raised her eyebrows. "Of course not."
She turned off the light and walked towards the bed.
In the darkness, he pounced on her like a lion and pinned her on the bed.
"That was yourst chance, you can''t back out now."
He pinned her arms above her head with one hand and tore open her bathrobe with the other, all the
while kissing her.
Alvera submitted to him silently in the darkness.
It took her all her energy to stop herself from screaming in fear and anger.
She tried her best to hold in her emotions, but her tears fell uncontrobly.
