The Luna Is Gone

Chapter 103

“Okay.”

Nathan was about to follow me, but Avia grabbed his wrist.

“Nathan, don’t go. I want you to stay with me.”

“Let Mom accompany you first. I’ll be right back after getting the medicine.”

I watched this scene expressionlessly, realizing that Nathan’s attitude towards Avia seemed colder than when she first woke up.

After leaving the ward, Nathan headed straight for the stairs. When there was no one

around, he gave me a meaningful glance.

“Speak your mind.”

Indeed, he sensed my intention to talk privately.

I got straight to the point. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Diana is looking for you, but you haven’t replied to her messages.”

A shadow of hostility flashed in Nathan’s eyes.

“Don’t involve me in anything related to that woman. It’s none of my business.”

I hesitated for a moment, puzzled by the sudden change in their relationship.

“Aren’t things supposed to be improving between you two? Why the sudden…”

“It’s still none of your concern,” Nathan warned.

I pondered for a moment. Although I was curious, I decided not to delve further.

There shouldn’t be any more contact between Nathan and me. I sought him out only to discuss Gummy Skull and William’s matters.

But now, it seemed he had lost interest in everything.

“I understand. So, you won’t be involved in Gummy Skull matters anymore?” I asked one last time for confirmation.

“…No,” Nathan replied in a low voice.

The hallway was dimly lit, and I couldn’t discern the emotions in Nathan’s eyes as he lowered them.

But I wasn’t curious; I simply nodded casually.

“Alright, I’ll let Diana know. From now on, you and she will be strangers.”

I smiled faintly and turned away.

Whether it was my imagination or not, in that moment of turning around, I saw Nathan’s tall figure seemed to sway a bit…

The next day, April invited me for shopping.

Her birthday banquet was approaching, and the servants had been preparing for a long time. She wanted to pick some small gifts to reward everyone.

In the largest mall in the Blade Moon Pack city center, April and I strolled, occasionally stopping. When passing by a jewelry store, April suddenly grabbed me,

occasionally stopping. When passing by a jewelry store, April suddenly grabbed me, gesturing toward the display case.

It was a very beautiful diamond necklace, shining brightly under the lights.

Even though I had seen countless dazzling jewelry, at this moment, I couldn’t help but admire the designer’s unique craftsmanship.

“Let’s check it out,” April tugged me towards the counter.

The jewelry store’s salesperson immediately greeted us, enthusiastically introducing this diamond necklace.

“This diamond necklace is designed by the renowned jewelry designer Nora Stern. It features a rare 20–carat pink diamond, set in 18–carat rose gold and platinum, with colorless diamonds on each side…”

“Wait.” April looked at the salesperson in surprise. “Did you say who designed this necklace?”

“Nora Stern, a globally top–tier jewelry designer.”

“Nora Stern…” April pondered, “Diana, I remember you had a friend before, a girl who followed you every day, always saying you were her idol. Her name was Nora Stern, right?”

“That’s her.”

I smiled slightly, recalling a recent incident at the racetrack where I won a sapphire brooch and gifted it to Victor. Nora Stern was the designer of that sapphire brooch. Upon hearing our

conversation, the salesperson’s eyes lit up, and their attitude became even more attentive.

“So, you two are friends of Designer Stern. No wonder you have such good taste. Are you planning to buy this diamond necklace?”

With Nora’s design, I was definitely going to support it, especially since the necklace itself was unparalleled.

“Sure, let’s…”

Before I could finish my sentence, a familiar female voice interrupted.

“How much is this diamond necklace? I’ll take it.”

I sighed inwardly. Turning around, I saw Avia and her maid.

“Sorry, miss, this necklace has already been chosen by these two ladies. Can I introduce you to some other styles?” the salesperson politely inquired. “What, have they paid?” Avia raised an eyebrow, looking at the salesperson.

“Not yet…”

“Then it means everyone has a chance. Now I also want this necklace.” Avia arrogantly lifted her head and pulled out a black card from her bag. The salesperson hesitated to take it.

“Didn’t you hear me? I said I want this necklace.”

“But…but these two ladies are friends of the designer Nora Stern, and I…”

“Didn’t you hear me? I said I want this necklace.”

“But…but these two ladies are friends of the designer Nora Stern, and I…”

The salesperson looked troubled.

At this moment, Avia’s maid stepped forward, speaking disdainfully,

“So what if they’re friends with Nora Stern? Do you know who my mistress is? Nora Stern has agreed to design the jewelry for my mistress’s engagement banquet. In other words, my mistress is now Nora Stern’s employer! Besides, let me tell you something important, you ignorant clerk. The beautiful lady in front of you is the future-”

Avia glared at the maid.

The maid immediately corrected herself, “Is the current Luna of Dark Moon Pack! Do you want to offend Nora Stern’s employer or the current Luna of Dark Moon Pack?”

The salesperson almost knelt down, saved only by April’s timely support.

After regaining her balance, the salesperson, with a shocked expression, bowed deeply to April.

Avia and her maid were both dumbfounded.

“You… Are you Luna April?” Avia asked.

April smiled without saying a word, her gaze fixed on Avia.

Avia swallowed and, recovering from her surprise, lifted her chest proudly.

“So what? We are both Lunas. There’s no saying who is more noble! Anyway, what I want, no one can take away!”

April was usually gentle, but perhaps because Avia had provoked me before, her patience was unusually thin.

“Is that so?” April sneered. “Unfortunately, this is Blade Moon Pack, and you-”

I quickly grabbed April and shook my head, signaling her to listen to me.

“Diana, what are you up to again?” Avia watched me warily.

“Nothing much, since we both want this necklace, why not hear the price first?” I smirked.

Avia crossed her arms, laughing arrogantly.

“Do you think I can’t afford a set of jewelry? Let me tell you, I have plenty of money-”

“This necklace is priced at three billion.” The salesperson interrupted Avia, raising their hand.

“Three billion? Three billion is just a small amount, I can totally afford it…” Avia paused, looking at the salesperson in surprise, “Did you say how much for this necklace?”

“Th–three billion,” the salesperson answered in a low voice.

“It’s just a necklace, why is it so expensive?”

Avia even failed to control her volume, attracting curious looks from people around.

‘Expensive?” I chuckled, “Maybe it’s because you don’t understand diamonds, so you underestimate their value.”

In fact, from the moment I saw this necklace, I had an estimated price in my mind. Three billion was within my expectations and not expensive for me. However, for Avia, it might be a different story.

Because my money was earned by myself, while Avia’s money was given by Nathan.

Avia froze, her face turning red.

The salesperson approached, “Miss, do you still want to purchase this necklace?”

“I…” Avia hesitated to make a decision.

I yawned, imitating Avia’s tone, “Three billion is just a small amount, I can totally… afford it.”

I deliberately emphasized “afford it.”

Avia’s features immediately twisted out of shape.

Meanwhile, Avia’s phone rang.

She hurriedly picked up the call, probably too nervous, accidentally putting it on speaker, so everyone present could hear the voice on the other end of the phone-

“Luna, I’m sorry. Nora Stern says she refuses to design the jewelry for your engagement banquet.”
