Chapter 4
I momentarily forgot to struggle, feeling my heart shatter.
How could Liam treat me this way?
When he proposed, he swore I was the only one for him in this lifetime.
Not only did Alex appear, but he’d been harboring these calculations all along!
I gritted my teeth and stared at Liam, wanting to devour him whole.
Liam Reed, you’re really something else.
Just then, all the lights in the venue dimmed, and all the staff sprang into action.
I made muffled sounds, trying to attract the attention of passersby.
Everyone here knew my face–if I could just get this mask off, I’d be saved!
But people hurried past, no one interested in an auction item.
As the countdown began, I was placed on a huge tray and wheeled out. “Now we see item number three, starting bid one dollar.”
The buyers below heard this and began whispering among themselves.
“One dollar–who are they trying to insult?”
“This has got to be the cheapest item in auction history, right?”
Even I was stunned by the price, then felt a wave of humiliation.
Alex was humiliating me!
She wanted me to know that without Liam, I was worthless!
Under Alex’s manipulation, my price quickly rose to three million.
I struggled back and forth, my writhing figure making the whole venue burst into laughter.
Suddenly, I met Liam’s eyes.
He looked at me in shock, rubbing his eyes and staring for a long time.

I knew he’d recognized me.
Liam, it’s me–Quinn! Save me!
I kept calling for help, only able to make muffled sounds.
“Alex, that’s Quinn!” He froze for a moment, frantically pushing Alex off his lap.
He stared at me in a daze. “How… how did she become an auction item?”
Alex hadn’t expected Liam to recognize me with my face covered. A flash of viciousness crossed her eyes before she answered, “You’re seeing things, aren’t you? How could Quinn be up there? Impossible! I wouldn’t be wrong! Quinn has a red birthmark on her neck–that’s definitely her!”
Liam stood up, then quickly sat back down when he noticed everyone’s stares. “What the hell is going on!”
Alex gently stroked Liam’s chest and pretended to call over a staff member to ask a few questions
before looking at me on stage. “The staff says she voluntarily auctioned her virginity… and also
said…”
At Liam’s urging, she answered unhurriedly, “They also said she’s actually a regular at underground gambling dens, and she’s doing this because she owes too much gambling debt to pay
back…”
Bullshit!
Liam, don’t believe her lies!

If looks could kill, Alex would have been torn to pieces by me already.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as hoped. Liam easily believed Alex’s words.
The way he looked at me no longer held warmth, but mockery instead. “I thought she was clean.
Turns out she fooled me for three years.”
I wanted to argue back but could only watch helplessly as I was sold for five million dollars.
“Little Liam, the boss who bought Quinn is famous for playing with women. I heard no woman has ever walked out of his place in one piece. Are you sure you want to watch her fall into his clutches?”
Alex spoke with a probing tone, draping her arm over Liam’s shoulder like a buddy.
Even I held my breath, waiting for Liam’s answer.

Finally, I heard the man’s mocking voice, sealing my fate completely. “I thought she was pure, played with her for three years. I got my money’s worth.”
Tears fell from the corners of my eyes as I finally gave up on this relationship.
Just as the staff was about to take me backstage, the venue doors suddenly burst open.
Amid a chorus of flattering voices, a man in a Mao suit strode in.
“Mr. Moon, you’re here.”
I suddenly felt like I’d grabbed a lifeline, my eyes widening.
My dad was here!
I was saved!
