Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 75

Lauren's POV

As one of the treasures of the auction, this tiara caught everyone's attention after Michael told people he wanted to bid on this and use it to propose to Janice. The starting price was only five million dollars. After people bid for it just for fun, Michael raised his sign confidently, "Ten million." Mila rolled her eyes and snorted, "How pretentious can he get? I'm so sick and tired of his cocky face. Look how smug that one in his arms is right now." Janice snuggled up to Michael, looking at him fondly as if that tiara was already theirs.

The man who raised the price laughed, "Michael is really generous with his money when it comes to his partner."

"Yeah, you can't put a price on true love," Evelyn raised her voice and agreed. Then she deliberately added, "After all, Janice is the one he loves. Of course he doesn't care about the price. You can't be happy if you're being forced to marry somebody." "A wedding gift that's worth ten million dollars! He's handsome and generous. True love is priceless, indeed."

Seeing that, Evelyn got even cockier. She held her chin high and laughed, "Yeah, Janice and Michael are a lovely couple and they're truly in love, unlike some cheeky girl."

The host said, "Ten million dollars. Is there a higher price than that?"

No one raised his sign and the smiles on Michael's and Janice's faces got bigger. Janice stared at the glittering tiara on the auction table, looking proud and confident. She looked around as if she was looking for something.

Mila saw what she was doing and said to me, "She's trying to show it off in front of you."

I didn't say anything but Bella spoke up in my head, "Oh really? Is she hoping that whenever she thought about her proposal scene there will be us in her memory? She's such a weirdo. Maybe I can spice things up in the proposal scene, like champagne, wine, or something else."

"I don't wanna be in her show anymore," I turned down Bella's thought.

"Then things are gonna get very boring," Bella said regretfully.

I smiled and didn't say more about it. I was more intrigued by the medical materials on my phone than the auction.

Someone around me giggled, "Looks like Mr. Michael is gonna get the tiara tonight."

Micheal tugged his collar and was ready to stand up and embrace people's compliments but before he could straighten up, someone said behind the crowd in a cold voice and stole his thunder, "Fifty million."

At that moment, people instantly quieted down and I got distracted from the materials on my phone. That voice sounded so familiar to me. Just a few minutes ago in some box, that voice was still ringing in my ear. But I didn't expect that he would also participate in this auction.

Michael's whole body froze as well as that big smile on his face. He didn't believe what he just heard and a gasp made everyone come to their senses. "Fifty...fifty million?"

"Oh my god, who made that ridiculously high offer?"

"That voice came from that box. It can only be the legendary alpha."

Alpha Victor from the Midnight Claws Tribe.

No one expected that Victor would bid fifty million dollars for the gemstone tiara, and Michael, who was ready to take the tiara to propose, looked quite pasty. Everyone was stunned. Even Mila turned her head to look at me in confusion. The host asked, "Mr. Michael, do you want to continue bidding?"

Michael pursed his lips and didn't know what to say. His face turned blue and that smug look on Janice's face vanished instantly. She squeezed Michael's arms because if Michael refused to continue his bid, everything they had prepared would become a joke. Janice would never allow her proposal ceremony to turn into a drama.

"If there's no offer higher than fifty million dollars, this tiara will go to alpha Victor from the Midnight Claws Tribe," the host reminded Michael gently, "fifty million going once..."

Janice tugged Michael's shirt, begging with her eyes.

Michael hesitated for a while and then finally spoke up, "Fifty million and one hundred thousand dollars."

"Pfft..." Mila couldn't help but snort. She was enjoying this show and said, "If Victor gives a higher offer, will Michael follow?"

I said while sending a text to Victor, "No. Michael doesn't have that kind of money for him to waste. Fifty million is already too much for him. If it won't for those people making a fuss, Michael will definitely not follow. But now he has to, in order to save face." "He wants to use this ball to make people believe what they have is true love but now his true love can only afford one hundred thousand dollars more. He can't afford a higher price now," Mila sneered sarcastically.

Michael, who gritted his teeth to say the higher price, didn't quiet down and said to the box Victor was in, "Alpha Victor, I want to give this tiara to my fiancée as a proposal gift. I wonder if you could let me have it. Or does Mr. Victor have someone to give it to?" "Alpha Victor, if you want to give this tiara to your partner, then we'll stop bidding as our blessing for you and your partner," Janice added in a flattering tone.

But Victor just said coldly, "Who I want to give it to has nothing to do with you."

He had always been blunt and snarky. Janice and Michael had never been roasted like this and their faces turned pale immediately. Before they could say anything, Victor named an even more shocking price, "Eighty million dollars."

Everyone was once again shocked by the high price he named and a lot of people started staring at Michael curiously, wondering what he was on his mind right now. After all, he had just told everyone that he wanted to buy this tiara to propose to his fiancé. Was he capable of giving a higher offer?

"Eighty million dollars! Is there a higher offer?" the host paused for dramatic effect and looked around the room before he said, "then, this tiara goes to the alpha of the Midnight Claws Tribe!"

Michael froze at the scene and even though Janice was trying to keep her cool, she still looked embarrassed and terribly embarrassed. She forced a smile and said, "If alpha Victor wants to give it to his partner, it's an honor for us to let him have this tiara. We give you and your partner our sincere blessings, alpha Victor."

If it were other people, they might say thanks and make it easier for Janice and Michael or just ignored them. But Victor just chuckled and said with contempt, "The highest bidder wins. I don't need you to get it." Michael's face turned pale instantly. He clenched his fists and couldn't take it anymore, "Alpha Victor, are you targeting us?"

The curtains of the box were pulled open and Victor was sitting in his wheelchair, looking down at him condescendingly. The moment the curtain was drawn, people were all overwhelmed and intimidated by his aura. He said without mercy, "Don't flatter yourself." Those three words made Michael's face flush out of humiliation.

Janice hastily comforted him, "Michael, let it go. Maybe alpha Victor wants to give this to his partner..."

Mila couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. She raised her eyebrows and asked me, "Did Victor hear what they said about you? Is he getting back at them for you?"

"... Maybe it's just because of the conversation in the garden." Back then, I could feel he was kind of pissed on the phone but I didn't expect Victor would do something like this at the auction and even roast Michael so harshly.

"It's nice that someone's got your back. That tiara looks much easier on the eye now," Mila said mischievously. She paused for a second and thought of something, "Is Victor going to propose to you with that?" "No."

"He said..." I showed Mila Victor's reply.

And at the same time, Victor spoke up as if he was reading the text.

"This cheap tiara isn't good enough to be a proposal gift for you."

"This cheap tiara isn't good enough for my partner."
