Chapter 21 Dianaâs pov Avia kept increasing the force stepping on the bracelet.
I even heard the sound of pearls stucking into the carpet and rubbing against the ground!
I glared at Avia angrily.
âDonât get too far! Stop or youâd pay.â
âSo what if I just go farther?â Avia laughed, âThe more you cherish it, the more I will destroy it! Didnât you say this is your motherâs legacy? Then let it disappear with your mother! This is the price you must pay for trying to steal Nathan from me!â
There was madness and viciousness in Aviaâs eyes.
I couldnât hold back the anger in my heart anymore, so much so that I didnât even hear the elevator door behind me open and someone come out.
I raised my hand and just was about to slap on Aviaâs face.
However, someone grabbed my wrist!
Then, Nathanâs cold voice sounded behind me.
âWhat are you going to do to Avia?â
Avia immediately changed her face when she saw Nathan.
Her eyes quickly turned red and acted terrified like I was some demon taking her life. âNathan, sheâs going to-â
Snapped!
Before Avia could finish speaking, I raised my other arm and slapped her hard.
Avia screamed, covered her face and collapsed to the ground.
I looked at the scene in front of me with cold eyes and turned to stare at Nathan, who looked shocked, with a furious expression on his face.
âIâm going to beat her, what are you going to do?â
âAre you crazy?â Nathan growled, gazing at me so coldly like knives shoving towards me.
He grabbed my wrist and threw me to one side, and hurriedly went to help Avia who fell to the ground.
My knees were still aching, and Nathanâs move almost caused me to fall again.
I barely managed to stand firm by holding on to the wall, but there was a âclickâ from my ankle.
Severe pain came and I knew my foot must be crooked.
I looked at Nathan and Avia angrily.
Nathan carefully lifted Avia up and was nervously checking her right cheek. âAre you okay? Does it hurt?â
Nathanâs eyes were filled with worry.
Avia threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
âYouâre finally back Nathan, Iâm so scared!â
Nathan patted her back gently and asked, âWhat happened?â
âThis woman...â Avia choked while pointing at me, âThis woman came over to me and asked for a pearl bracelet. If I didnât give it to her, she would beat me.â
Hearing this, Nathan frowned.
âI bought the bracelet for Avia. If you have any problem, come at me! Avia is innocent and knows nothing. Besides, she just had surgery, how could you do it?â Nathanâs questioning voice just made me laugh.
Innocent?
Know nothing?
An innocent who intentionally destroyed my motherâs legacy?
Who knew nothing but wore s*xy lingerine to claim âNo one can steal Nathan from herâ?
How ridiculous!
âThen why donât you ask Avia what she did first?â I yelled.
âI...I didnât do anything. I wanted to go to sleep.â Avia shook her head in Nathanâs arms, looking pitiful.
Nathan patted her shoulder, âItâs okay, donât be afraid. Iâm here.â
Avia wiped her tears and nodded obediently.
However, from an angle that Nathan couldnât see, she was raising the corners of her mouth proudly at me.
Suddenly I made up my mind.
Yeah, whatâs the use of me arguing about the truth?
Nathan loves Avia, his eyes and heart are biased towards Avia.
No matter what I say, he will only believe Avia.
I closed my eyes.
When I opened it again, my mood had calmed down a lot.
âForget it.â I endured the pain in my ankle and walked up to Nathan, âI only came here for one thing. I want to get back my pearl bracelet. Alpha Nathan, you took it away without my knowledge. Donât you think your behavior is too despicable for something that belongs to me?â
At the mention of this, a trace of uneasiness flashed across Nathanâs face.
He was silent for a moment and then said, âI can give you a more precious bracelet. There will be an auction the day after tomorrow. I know there is one from ââ âI donât want it!â I interrupted his soliloquy, âI just want this pearl bracelet!â
âImpossible!â Nathan decisively rejected me, âThis bracelet is a legacy of Aviaâs mother.â
I was stunned.
âYou said...the pearl bracelet is...a legacy of...Aviaâs mother?â
âYes. So even for this reason, you shouldnât rob it. Diana, I remember that you were a compassionate person in the past.â
âRobbing?â I felt incredible, âThat bracelet is obviously-
âNathan...â Aviaâs weak voice interrupted me. She tugged on Nathanâs sleeve and said, âMy head is starting to feel uncomfortable again. Can we go back to sleep?â
Hearing this, Nathan halfâarmed Avia to enter the house.
âNo! You canât leave!â
I grabbed Nathan!
Avia tried to fool this into thinking that she was dreaming.
Why did she made up the lie?
âThatâs obviously my motherâs legacy!â I shouted.
Nathan paused and looked back at me in shock.
âWhat did you say?â
âI said, that pearl bracelet is a legacy of my mother! Otherwise, why do you think I had to bid such a price for it? You donât really think Iâm jealous of Avia because of you, do you?â
âNo. Nathan, donât listen to her nonsense. I didnât lie to you.â Avia cried.
âReally?â I sneered, âAvia, Iâm going to teach you a lesson today. Before lying, you must first remove all evidence against yourself.â
Aviaâs face turned pale.
I raised my arm and pointed at the monitor facing this bedroom and said, âDo you think it can lie?â
âI...â Aviaâs lips trembled, and her face became increasingly ugly.
Nathan looked down at her.
âAvia, is everything Diana said true?â
âNo! Itâs not true! Nathan, you know me, right? How could I lie to you?â Avia still refused to admit it, she frowned, âNathan, I really donât feel well, I want to rest.
âI think you wonât give up until you see the evidence.â I called the hotel manager. âI think you wonât give up until you see th âIâll give you three minutes. I want all the videos from the first 20 minutes of the 1003 door surveillance.â
Almost at the same time that I hung up the phone, Aviaâs legs went weak and she managed to stand still while holding on to Nathanâs arm.
In less than three minutes, I received a new message on my phone.
I sneered, turned the screen on my phone, and clicked play in front of Nathan.
