Chapter 36 The Deals G 699 Finished " Impossible . " Grant narrowed his eyes , his voice sharp and unyielding . " That was a birthday gift for my girlfriend . I handpicked that sapphire and had it custom - cut . There's absolutely no way anything like that exists anywhere else in the world . " " Grant , even if I admire you , you can't just accuse me like this ," the girl snapped , pulling out her phone to show proof . " I bought this online last week . Two hundred and fifty dollars . Grant , the bracelet you gave your girlfriend only cost two hundred and fifty dollars ? " She stuck the purchase record directly in front of him , her tone dripping with mockery . Grant couldn't look away from the photo of the bracelet . The tabletop in the seller's picture was identical to Oriana's vanity . Suddenly , Grant remembered the scarf Oriana had taken to clean and never returned . He snatched the girl's phone and opened the seller's page . The record of past sales wasn't hidden - every single item was displayed in front of him . Among dozens of transactions , every item was painfully familiar . Over the years , the smallest details of their lives together had been listed there , sold at prices so low they almost made him laugh . Even the scarf she had worn in the freezing cold until her hands were frostbitten and her joints ached - it had sold for just ten dollars . Why would Oriana do this ? " Grant , it's heavy . Can you help me carry it ? Uh , what are you guys doing ? " Luna walked over , carrying a stack of textbooks . She saw Grant standing with his back to her , motionless . As she stepped closer , Grant suddenly turned around . He didn't even glance at Luna , got into his car , and drove off , ignoring her calls . " Grant- " Luna wanted to follow , but the heavy load made it nearly impossible , and her heels almost twisted . " Grant looks so scary . Could the seller really be his girlfriend ? " 173 8:30 Fri , Oct 10 Chapter 36 The Deals Finished " I think so . Otherwise , why would he be so angry ? But he didn't even look back , so he's not waiting for his girlfriend , right ? " " Definitely not . The listing said the ex - boyfriend had broken up , and it was being sold cheap , no gifts involved . Grant must've already been dumped ." " He acts so devoted , but he never picked up his girlfriend once while dating . After being dumped , he has time to give rides to other women . If it were me , I'd dump him , too . Total jerk ." The girls who had just been swooning carlier had already imagined the whole scenario , casting Luna a disdainful look as her face turned pale . During rush hour , Grant fought through traffic , his anger building . He slammed the apartment door open . The entire place was silent , only the glow of city lights outside the window . " Oriana , how long are you going to keep acting like this ? " He tugged at the collar of his shirt in frustration and strode toward Oriana's room without changing his shoes , his voice low and furious . Suddenly , it hit him - he realized something . After only a few steps , he froze . Stiff and numb , he glanced toward the living room . The security camera had been cut off . An absurd , yet shockingly real thought struck Grant's mind . " No , Oriana . This joke has gone too far . I don't like it . " His low , hoarse voice echoed through the apartment . Ignoring reason , he barreled into Oriana's room- Bang ! " Oriana- " All he was met with was empty silence . He had assumed Oriana was locked in her room all day , waiting for him to check on her . He had assumed she was sulking and wanted him to apologize . But she was gone . The room was spotless . The bed , the wardrobe , the desk - everything neatly arranged as if no one had ever lived there . 2/3 8:30 Fri , Oct 10 Chapter 36 The Deals AQ 99 Finished She didn't want him anymore ? The thought hit , and Grant laughed bitterly , almost hysterically . Impossible . Where else could she have gone , besides being with him ? Gradually , he suppressed his laughter , composing a face darkened with stormy gray clouds. He pulled out his phone and called Oriana . As expected , no answer . He tried another number . Same result . CH OF Grant inhaled deeply and called Alaric . The moment the call connected , Grant spoke immediately . " Who are you " Samuel and a few friends , why ? " Grant frowned . " Anyone Oriana doesn't know ? " with ? " " Someone Oriana doesn't know ? " Alaric was confused but thought for a moment . " We're in a private room . There's a waitress . Does that count ? " Before Alaric could finish , the call was cut off . " Grant , what's going on ? " Alaric was still puzzled when Grant switched to a video call . Through the screen , Grant gave orders . " Have that waitress call Oriana and put it on speaker ." " Grant , Oriana blocked you ? " Alaric blurted out in shock . " Just have her call ! " Grant's sharp tone left no room for argument .
