The Villainess With A Heroine Harem-Chapter 499 Delusional

Chapter 499 Delusional

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Had it been before, he might not have thought about it much. After all, regardless of her outer beauty, Emilia was just another dumb girl obsessed with him in the end. She didn't have the guts to do anything that would displease him at all.

But after she 'snatched' the position of a guest of honor and practically humiliated his mother just a while ago, Alexander couldn't help but have second thoughts.

'Don't tell me… is she actually a slut and seduced all these morons?!'

As someone who could catch even his attention, Alexander was naturally aware that Emilia had the means to wrap these lesser idiots around her finger, and Alexander couldn't help but frown as he found this more and more convincing.

If Emilia really was a slut, though, wouldn't that mean that he wasted so much time and effort coming here for a used shoe?

The mere thought was so humiliating that Alexander's gaze at the crimson-haired beauty on stage involuntarily turned into deep, intense hatred. How could someone like him, who had plucked countless fresh flowers as he pleased for so many years, be made a fool of like this by a little girl?!

If he didn't teach her a lesson, his name wasn't Alexander Gray!

Of course, although his reaction was the most intense, Alexander was far from the only one who was starting to doubt themselves when the ongoing bid for Emilia's choker reached over a hundred million.𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

"What in the world is going on with these people?!"

Fortunately for the sanity of the onlookers, most of the 'crazy bidders' were just upstarts who couldn't afford to keep going after the price reached over four hundred million, and the final bid was made by a lady in green whose eyes were practically burning with passion as she stared fixatedly at the choker.

Some of the men who had lost out in the 'war' couldn't help but complain. "Way to spoil my chances, Lucy."

"What are you even going to do with that?"

"Right? Emilia might get along more with girls, but at the end of the day, they will be just friends. Don't delay people's happy events so selfishly!"

The lady in green was naturally incensed. "Fuck off! Who do you think you are, trying to get something that used to be wrapped around her neck? Think I can't see your perverted intentions? You don't deserve it!"ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

The man coughed. "W-We wouldn't have done anything perverted with it, o-obviously."

Lucy sneered. "Bullshit. When even I can't resist the thought of smothering it against my—!"

It was only then that the lady in green remembered they were still in the middle of Golden Crown's auction and immediately shut up. Going by the stunned silence around her, though, the realization clearly came too late.

Not to mention everyone else, even Emilia felt a little embarrassed.

She never expected this group of people to be so bold and unabashed!

The auctioneer coughed awkwardly. "F-Four hundred and thirty million going once… Four hundred and thirty million going twice… Four—!"

"Five hundred million!"

Hundreds of gazes immediately snapped to the magnetic female voice in surprise, and a few people couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"T-The prime minister is making a five hundred million bid for a piece of jewelry?!"

"Is there something about this thing that I don't understand?"

It had to be said that while the current prime minister of Phoenix was quite rich long before she took over the position, five hundred million was still not a small amount for her to fork out.

The more shrewd people in the crowd couldn't help but wonder if this was her way to show support for the Empire of Blue Dawn without ever making any official statements.

Even Emilia was somewhat shocked. 'I didn't believe it at first, but maybe she really does want to help me for some reason?'

Cynthia hummed. "Why, though? It seems a little strange considering you hadn't ever met her in person before."

The crimson-haired girl could only shrug helplessly, having no answer to her partner's question at the moment. 'We can always get a general idea from Crystal later. She should have gathered some clues by now, I think.'

With the prime minister of Phoenix making such a high bid, even the lady who had been so proud to almost win the choker didn't dare to continue anymore.

After all, she was already reaching the limits of what she could fork out, and it didn't make sense to needlessly offend the prime minister of Phoenix when she stood no chance to 'win' anyway.

'Plus, while I hate the thought of these perverts jerking off to her choker or something, I don't really mind the thought of miss Bella having it.' Lucy hummed while convincing herself.

The 'almost got it' lady in green believed that with the dignified bearing of the prime minister of Phoenix, there was no way she would use the precious artifact for 'recreational' purposes.

Emilia was naturally pleased with this result as well, and smiled gratefully at the prime minister, who just nodded back politely.

Their exchange didn't go unnoticed by either the cameras or the people at the auction, and some couldn't help but break out in hushed discussions.

The 'crazy fanatics' from before exchanged a knowing look when the prime minister had the choker placed in a sealed case and instructed that it be sent to her office.

Alexander's gaze full of hate also turned to the prime minister of Phoenix. 'This bitch must have colluded with the slut long ago! No wonder my mother didn't get the honored guest position, but that whore Emilia did!'

As both the prime minister of Phoenix and the host of the event, Bellatrix naturally didn't want to cause too much of a scene, though. Right after the item she acquired was dealt with, the mature lady immediately waved her assistant over. "Bring it in."

The sound of heavy wheels rolling over the marbled floor soon attracted everyone's sight towards a curtained-off gate, which soon parted to reveal something covered with a large velvet cloth being wheeled over on a metal trolley.

The prime minister's actions of 'distracting people' only made Alexander more sure of her 'guilt', but in contrast, Amos immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "So she just wanted that farce to be over quickly so the event could finally move on to what really matters, huh? I knew it! How could that stupid bitch Emilia be so lucky every time?"
