BXBX NOVEL Chapter 154 - Up For Grabs!
Lisa returned to sit on her chair with Rangga. After the dance competition was over, the servants brought dinner to the guests.
Mrs. Wijaya finally handed the diamond necklace to the real winner of the dance competition, Clara.
The old woman draped her diamond necklace on Clara and all the invited guests cheered and clapped. How beautiful and charming Clara looked when she wore that diamond necklace!
How proud and proud Clara was when she got the necklace she wanted.
Lisa stole a glance when Clara stepped off the stage and walked toward Oscar with pompous steps. However, the woman\'s steps were a little hampered by the other guests who wanted to buy Clara\'s diamond necklace from her.
"Miss, how much is the diamond necklace? I will buy it from you at any price for my wife!" One of the male guests bargained.
"Don\'t give it to him! I can pay hundreds of millions for that necklace! I can give it to you right at this instant!" Another woman who wanted the diamond necklace Clara was wearing said.
Clara was annoyed to see the people crowded around her to get the necklace that Mrs. Wijaya had just given her. "Hey, listen! I don\'t and I won\'t sell this necklace at any price!"
"Come on, miss, I\'m trying to buy it for my wife. It\'s my wife\'s birthday today too!" One of the men tried to pressure her.
"Don\'t listen to that guy! I can buy Mrs. Wijaya\'s diamond necklace for the price of an Alphard car! I must own that necklace!"
Unable to stand the people who wanted to grab the diamond necklace, Clara immediately shouted at Oscar to save her from the sea of beasts that swarmed around her.
"Oscar help me! Please buy this necklace so that these uncivilized people will not buy it!"
Oscar ignored Clara\'s request for help. He just stared at Clara with his cold gaze and looked away again.
Seeing her lover\'s indifferent response made Clara furious. The woman ran through the crowd of people who wanted the diamond necklace and slapped Oscar.
The man was shocked. His pale cheeks flushed red from Clara\'s slap. "What do you mean by this?! How could you slap me, Clara!?"
"Why don\'t you want to help me? Buy this necklace in front of these savages so that they won\'t target me again!"
"What would I buy it for if you got it for free from Mrs. Wijaya?" Oscar replied casually.
Hearing Oscar\'s heartless answer made Clara even more infuriated. The woman pounded on the table and brought her face closer to Oscar. "Oscar are you stupid? I mean pretend to buy this necklace from me so that people who want to buy this necklace give up! You are a famous figure in Jakarta, everyone must be afraid to bid on this necklace if it falls in your hands!"
Oscar ignored Clara\'s long explanation. He turned his face and stared blankly at the stage that was starting to get less crowded.
"Oscar! Listen to me! These people are crazy! They crowded around me just because of a diamond necklace!"
"Like you don\'t want that necklace. Please, if they want to buy it from you then just give it away. I could buy something better than that," Oscar\'s response was flat and cold.
The invited guests began to gather around Oscar and Clara\'s dining table. They argued that they bid the price so that the necklace Clara was wearing would be sold to them!
Seeing the crowd getting crazie made Clara panic. She couldn\'t bear to hear all the ramblings that came out of the crowd. She embraced Oscar and wished he would defend her. But the man was silent.
One of the invited guests who sat near Oscar\'s table said to her husband, "Looks like people have gone crazy, huh?"
"Yes, I also don\'t understand why they want the diamond necklace. So crazy," the husband replied.
From her desk, Lisa stared at the crowd with nonchalance. Lucky that she refused the necklace. If not, she would be in Clara\'s place right now, surrounded by the sea of guests trying to get that necklace from her.
"Dear sir, can I buy the necklace from your lover? I\'m willing to pay with anything for the necklace!" A woman said to Oscar while the man was enjoying his dinner.
"Please leave my lover alone! Can you both return to your seats?" Clara cried, getting annoyed with the guests\' mouths.
"Please, Mr. handsome foreigner, I want to buy the necklace. Come on, I really want it," another woman from the crowd said.
Being surrounded like this made Clara unable to enjoy her dinner in peace. Even more annoyed, the man sitting next to her also didn\'t help her to chase away those uncivilized humans!
"I don\'t want to sell this necklace so please leave. We want to eat!" Clara snapped irritably.
Oscar had nothing to do with the chatter of the crowd who wanted the necklace. Relaxed, the man chomped on his dinner deliciously.
Beside him, Clara started to worry and ran out of patience with the crowd. She elbowed Oscar\'s arm and said, "Honey! Help me please! Don\'t just keep your mouth shut! Tell them that my necklace is not for sale or you have bought it!"
Oscar ignored her. He was still busy with the steak in front of him.
Not long after, a man not far from where Clara and Oscar were sitting shouted at them, "I\'ll buy it!"
Hearing that very familiar voice, Oscar immediately stopped his dinner and got up from his seat. He exchanged glances with the man and gave him a sharp gaze.
"Rangga!?" Oscar loudly exclaimed. The crowd then fell in silence, terrified by Oscar\'s thunderous voice and cold aura.
Lisa was seen grabbing the hem of Rangga\'s coat and said, "What are you doing?! Are you crazy?! Why are you buying that necklace from Clara!? She deserves that necklace! You need just sit back down again."
"Stay out of it!" Rangga brushed Lisa\'s hand and said loudly to Oscar and Clara, "I will buy the necklace that Miss Clara is wearing because I want to give the necklace to a woman I respect. It seems like Miss Clara is not suitable to use that, so it would be better if you give the necklace to me and I will pay whatever amount you want!"
Oscar stared at Rangga with a fierce gaze. He knew Rangga wanted to give the necklace to Lisa and Oscar would not let him get it.
"This necklace already belongs to Clara, you don\'t have the right to buy it from her!"
"I\'m willing to pay at whatever price set by Miss Clara, so please give me the price and I will pay right now," Rangga firmly said.
"Aren\'t you crazy!? It\'s just a diamond necklace!" Lisa protested.
"Lis, I promise to buy you a diamond necklace for your birthday," Rangga said.
Rangga\'s words made Lisa uncomfortable. "No, you don\'t have to fight over that goddamn necklace for me!"
