5.36% Reborn For Revenge: Unexpected Marriage With Mr. CEO / Chapter 11: Robert Jade Owed Her A Life

Capítulo 11: Robert Jade Owed Her A Life

After lunch, Eclipse took a nap in her room. When she came back downstairs, Alastor was lounging on the sofa, his long fingers playing with a stack of papers.

Eclipse sat beside him with a soft smile. "Does the Empire Group have plans to produce TV dramas soon?" she asked casually.

Alastor set the papers down, his deep eyes focusing on her. "Are you thinking of becoming a star, Madam?" he asked in a neutral tone.

Eclipse shook her head. "I have a script," she said. "It's well written, and if done right, it could be a big hit."

Once, Eclipse had been a talented writer, but her brilliance had been dimmed by people who didn't appreciate her.

Alastor's gaze grew more serious as he studied her. "As the CEO of Empire Group, you can do anything you want. You don't need permission."

Eclipse was a bit taken aback, but then she smiled, amused by his words.

She had almost forgotten about the marriage proposal she had accepted.

As she was about to mention her dowry, her eyes fell on the newspaper Alastor had left on the table. It was a report of her being publicly abandoned at her wedding...

Eclipse thought for a moment, then met Alastor's intense gaze with a playful smirk. "Do you have any questions for me?"

Alastor's lips curled into a faint smile as he reached out to touch her cheek. His voice was commanding. "You are now a married woman. That fiancé of yours should disappear."

Eclipse chuckled softly. "Give me five days," she said. "In five days, it'll be Mr. Lu's birthday. I'll personally end this engagement once and for all."

Eclipse had already gotten her marriage certificate, but people still saw her and Robert Jade as fiancés. Even though Alastor was now her husband, it still seemed like Eclipse was caught in the middle of two men.

Eclipse smiled a little. "I won't let any trouble bother you."

It wasn't easy for someone like her, with a bad reputation, to find someone who wanted to marry her. She wasn't going to let her past mistakes cause Alastor any problems.

---

The largest charity auction in Star City.

Eclipse sat in the VIP room on the second floor, looking down at the auction below. She watched with interest, her eyes scanning the crowd.

She had lived a mostly good life for the last twenty years, but there were parts of it that hadn't been great. Her biggest problem had always been her weak body. If she'd been stronger, she would've led armies and fought her own battles long ago.

But because of her health and her family's status, Eclipse rarely went to big social events like this.

Alastor saw her leaning on the windowsill, looking comfortable and in a good mood. His eyes darkened as he observed her.

Eclipse's eyes caught something interesting. Down below, she spotted Jessica Rocelyn and Robert Jade.

These two, who used to act so proper in public, didn't care about appearances anymore after their engagement was broken. Instead of being called out as a scumbag and a mistress, they were getting praise and congratulations.

Eclipse sipped her tea, her eyes cold. It seemed like Robert brought Jessica here to relax after the drama of the morning.

She turned to look at Alastor. He was watching her too, his deep eyes studying her, as if he could see through everything.

"I want to bring down the Rocelyn Family and the Jade Family," Eclipse said slowly. "I might even destroy them."

Alastor's true identity was still a mystery, but Eclipse could tell that he was powerful. His words and actions showed he had the presence of someone who was used to being in control. The Empire Group was a massive company, yet he didn't even blink when he gave it to her as a wedding gift.

But there were things that needed to be said.

No one knew that the real Eclipse Rocelyn was already dead. And Robert Jade owed her more than just an apology. He owed her a life.

Capítulo 12: There's Nothing Between Me and Robert Anymore

The Rocelyn Family, though, were her relatives. Her plan for revenge would definitely seem cruel to most people.

Alastor raised an eyebrow. "Do whatever you want. You don't need to fear anyone in Star City."

Eclipse smiled. Even though she felt like she didn't need to explain, she still said softly, "There's nothing between me and Robert anymore."

The Eclipse who had loved Robert so much was long gone, killed by the betrayal of the man she once adored.

Alastor looked at her seriously, and the darkness in his eyes seemed to vanish. He leaned closer and whispered, "I know."

Even if there had been something left, he would've cut it off.

Eclipse blinked, surprised that Alastor trusted her this much. Most men wouldn't be so easy to convince. After all, the old Eclipse had been obsessed with Robert, and everyone knew how crazy she had acted.

When she thought about that poor girl, Eclipse felt sad and guilty.

Alastor's hand gently touched her hair, and he wrapped his arm around her waist. "In five days," he said, his voice soft but strong, "you'll show them all. You don't need them. You'll live better than anyone else."

Eclipse stared at him for a moment, then laughed. She brushed her fingers over his eyebrow and smiled gratefully. "I will."

Just then, the last item of the auction was brought onto the stage. It was a rare, emerald-green diamond, glowing like a star. The diamond was beautiful, cold, and noble.

As soon as the diamond appeared, the atmosphere in the auction house became tense. Everyone was watching closely.

It was well known that green gems were the rarest, and this one was huge. Pink gems were cute, red ones were majestic, but green ones were quiet and noble. This gem was unique, a one-of-a-kind treasure.

The women in the crowd tugged on their husbands' sleeves, their eyes shining with excitement.

The host explained, "This diamond was found by the winner of the stone-gambling competition three years ago. It's priceless and has never been owned by anyone. The starting price is eight million!"

Eight million wasn't much for the richest people in Star City, especially those who wanted to impress their dates.

Right away, the bidding started.

"Ten million!"

"Twelve million!"

"Fifteen million!"

By the time the price reached thirty million, only a few people were still in the running. Not everyone wanted to spend that much on a diamond, and not all women were worth such a huge price.

Amid the chatter, Robert Jade stood up and shouted confidently, "Fifty million!"

Everyone looked over. It was the CEO of the Jade Group. The other bidders backed off, not wanting to challenge him.

The women in the room looked at Jessica, sitting next to him, with envy. She was beautiful and elegant, and the women whispered to each other.

"Jessica is so lucky. Even though she's just a stepsister, she's treated like a queen by the young master of the Jade Family."

"Eclipse was a fool. She had a fiancé but couldn't stay loyal to him."

"Yeah, if I were Robert, I'd choose Jessica too. She's talented and sweet."

Jessica smiled proudly, holding onto Robert's arm. She was happy. Even though she had stolen Robert from Eclipse, all she got now was praise and admiration.

Eclipse couldn't compete with her. She didn't stand a chance.

"Fifty million, going once… twice…"

Just when it seemed like the auction was over, a smooth, deep voice called out from nowhere.

"Five hundred million."

The entire room went silent. Did they hear that right?

Five hundred million? For a diamond?

For a moment, no one moved. Then, there was an explosion of chatter. Everyone looked up toward the second floor.

From the VIP room, a man's hand rested on the railing. Though his face couldn't be seen, his presence was overwhelming. Even from far away, the air seemed heavy with power.

Next to the man sat another figure, slim and elegant.

The women in the crowd were breathless, staring up, wondering who this mysterious man could be.
