The Luna Is Gone by Angelique Quinn

Chapter 117 Diana's pov No one expected Avia to suddenly collapse.

Amid gasps, Nathan was the first to react.

He rushed to Avia’s side at lightning speed, holding her in his arms, shouting, “Get a doctor!” The nearest bodyguard quickly responded, clearing the crowd and rushing outside to call for a doctor.

Meanwhile, more people gathered around Avia, watching her with worried expressions.

| watched the scene expressionlessly.

My heart twinged involuntarily as my gaze met Nathan's anxious look.

Nora smirked and nudgedwith her elbow.

“Avia never fainted before, but she chose to do it right when you mentioned contacting the old collector from Crimson Claw Pack. Don’t you find it suspicious?” Drawing my thoughts back, | smirked.

More than suspicious? Avia might fool everyone else, but as a medical professional, she couldn't fool me.

Her reaction was clearly feigned fainting.

And with Nathan's intelligence, | believed he wouldn't be deceived by such a simple trick.

Perhaps it was because the person feigning fainting was his beloved Avia that he couldn’t bring himself to suspect her with malicious thoughts.

Moreover, aside from that, there was genuine concern.

A sudden wave of weariness washed over me. | couldn’t even be bothered to speak, just shook my head.

At this moment, | just wanted this to end quickly.

As for Avia’s theatrics, | didn’t care and had no intention of exposing her.

Interestingly, speople enjoyed stirring up trouble.

Kate stormed toward Nora and me, pointing at my nose, yelling, “It’s you! Both of you forced Avia to faint!" Nora chuckled.

“If your brain is messed up, go see a doctor. What do you mean we forced Avia to faint?” “It’s you! If you hadn't relentlessly insisted on finding evidence, Avia wouldn’t have fainted because of your pressure. You two malicious women must pay for this!” | frowned.

The ndence of disgust Oooo The slight weariness in my heart turned into a profound sense of disgust. Unable to contain the disdain in my eyes, | coldly looked at Kate, “Who do you think you are? Dating to accuse me!” Kate was stunned, seemingly not expectingto speak to her like that After reacting, fury surged in her eyes.

“What did you say? Diana! You're just a lowly “Lowly?” Marc's icy voice interrupted Kate.

He walked in front of me, his tall figure shieldingand placingbehind him. Looking down at Kate, he asked, “Are you saying my sister is lowly?” “What?” Kate was dumbfounded.

After about ten seconds, she seemed to have finally understood Marc's words.

Stiffly, she asked in disbelief, “Diana... she’s...” “My dearest sister,” Marc smiled, warning, “The young girl is kind-hearted, but I'm different. If | see you provoking my sister again, don’t blme for tearing you apart.” Marc's tone was very gentle, almost like coaxing a child if the content wasn’t cruel.

Kate's legs gave way.

She sat on the ground, her face turning pale. She crawled to Lady Wayne's side, frightened.

At this point, the doctor arrived.

After examining Avia, the doctor furrowed his brows.

Clearly, he also noticed Avia pretending to faint.

But probably being the dedicated doctor for an Alpha, he was accustomed to such scenes and lied without changing his expression, “Luna has nothing wrong, just fainted due to emotional excitement. She'll be fine after resting for a while.” Nathan nodded in understanding.

Several medical staff carried Avia on a stretcher and took her out of the hall.

Lady Wayne and Kate followed suit.

The scene returned to silence.

Under the consecutive shocks, everyone looked at Nathan, waiting for an explanation.

Or more precisely, waiting for an excuse to ensure the smooth continuation of the engagement party.

Whatever the excuse was.

After all, with Nathan's status, even if he didn’t say a word or give a glance, no one dared to say anything.

Just like now.

Despite Avia causing such an embarrassing incident, no one dared to mock Nathan.

Most people even wished they could forget it, fearing that one day, on a whim, Alpha Nathan might decide to eliminate them.

The recent episode didn’t seem to have any effect on Nathan. He remained composed and unruffled.

After a casual survey, Nathan fixed his gaze on Marc.

But in reality, | knew he was looking at me.

Sure enough, the next moment, | heard Nathan calling me.

“Miss Reist.” He calledMiss Reist.

“For today’s events, | apologize on behalf of my fiancée. As compensation, | will transfer one hundred billion of my assets to your name. | hope you can forgive the unintentional mistake of my fiancée.” A gasp echoed through the venue.

One hundred billion dollars, something many people had never seen in their lives, let alone owned.

Even for Marc and me, it was not a small sum.

But despite this, Marc had no intention of letting those who insulted his sister go.

He sneered disdainfully.

“Alpha Nathan, do you think our Blade Moon Pack lacks your one hundred billion? Are you trying to use-" “Marc.” | tugged on Marc's suit, interrupting him.

Marc turned to look at me.

“Diana...” | curled my lips, giving him a playful wink, and whispered, “Trust me, having one hundred billion in my account is definitely more enjoyable than arguing with those inexplicable people.” Marc seemed not to agree with my decision.

In his eyes, my happiness or not obviously mattered more than money.

| licked my lips, winked mischievously, and said to him quietly, “Con, having one hundred billion for a little ‘unintentional mistake’ sounds like a good deal.” Marc seemed resigned. “Alright, it's your decision.” I turned to Nathan.

“Well then, Alpha Nathan, please transfer the one hundred billion to my account as soon as possible,” | said.

“I won't actually transfer it,” Nathan said sternly.

The ultimately concluded with Nathan generously offering a hundred billion to restore Avia’s reputation.

The atmosphere at the venue returned to harmony.

As for whether this “harmony” was just surface level, | didn’t care at all.

Given the time, | preferred counting money in my bank account.

Until Half an hour later, the doors on the left side of the hall opened.

| saw William, who shouldn't have been on the guest list, leading a group of people out from inside.

Then, Nathan publicly announced that leveraging this engagement party, he would sign a contract with William, initiating a comprehensive business cooperation! Chapter 118 Diana's pov
