Because of Damon''s actions, everyone in the venue was now watching them.


    Reba bit her lip hard, her eyes filled with anger and resentment. Damon was giving The Lone Tear to N right in front of everyone!


    She could already imagine the crowd''s scornful whispers. The more she thought about it, the more she hated N.


    The venue fell silent for a few seconds before murmurs of voices erupted.


    "What''s going on? Why is Damon giving The Lone Tear to N? Isn''t he supposed to be with Reba?"


    "And if I remember correctly, N was his niece-inw, right? The Sumners are so extravagant."


    "This is disgusting. N just divorced rk not long ago. Were they already involved before the divorce?"


    Hearing the sneers and disdainfulments around them, Vrie fumed.


    "What are you all talking about?! N''s divorce from rk was because rk cheated on her with Jordyn. It has nothing to do with Damon!" she barked.


    Few people knew about N and Damon''s rtionship. If Damon hadn''t suddenly given N jewelry tonight, she wouldn''t be subjected to these ridiculous rumors. The people being scolded were momentarily stunned.


    Someone wanted to retort but was quickly pulled away by another. "Are you crazy? If you offend Damon, you won''t survive in Saintornia. Stop talking and let''s get out of here!"


    The person who spoke pulled away from the crowd and quickly left through a side door, and the buzz in the hall gradually faded. After all, no one wanted to cross Damon.


    N looked at Damon coldly. "Mr. Sumner, your girlfriend is over there."


    With that, she tried to walk past him.


    Damon grabbed her hand and said, "N, I know exactly who I love."


    N frowned. "You really want to give me this jewelry?"


    "Yes," Damon answered.


    N let out a softugh and nodded. "Fine."


    She took the jewelry from Damon and tossed it into a nearby trash can. Damon''s face darkened instantly, his mood turning stormy.


    Unfazed, N met his gaze with cold resolve Mr. Sumner, your so-called love means nothing to me. I''m not interested in love that''s


    uncertain, and I hope you wonial ne


    I


    disgust me again in the future."


    swn y


    With each word, Damon''s face grew more strained, his expression darkening even further.


    N turned away without another nce and walked out with Vrie.


    As N and Vrie disappeared through the door, the venue fell eerily silent, with everyone too afraid to make a sound.


    Damon''s aura was so intimidating that no one dared to provoke him.


    Reba''s eyes shed with resentment as she watched N discard the jewelry she had coveted like trash.


    She approached Damon, her eyes


    filled with tears, and looked at him with disappointment. "Damon, did you think wouldn''t be upset? Did you embarrass me in front of everyone on purpose? Don''t forget, I''m your girlfriend now! By giving the jewelry to N in public, you''re only making her the center of attention. You''ll regret this!"


    She was truly despairing over Damon. Without waiting for a response, she turned and fled the auction hall.


    ...


    Meanwhile, N and Vrie had just returned to their car.


    Still agitated by the events, Vrie


    said, "N, Damon publicly gave you jewelry tonight, and given the sensitive nature of your rtionship, it''s going to cause a huge stir tomorrow. You might face criticism, so be prepared."
