Win Back the Heiress 182

 

Chapter 182 Alex Helps Irene 

Raine said, “It doesn’t matter who he is. In Riversdale, no one can compete with you!” 

Alex was rendered speechless. 

But that man-Gideon-wasn’t even from Riversdale. It was his own uncle! 

In the end, Alex didn’t raise his paddle, and the pair of earrings went to Gideon. 

Of course, Raine was furious. She was determined to find out the person who acted so cluelessly. 

As soon as the auction ended, she rushed to the front and saw a staff member carrying the coffee beans from Southridge and the jewelry box over, handing them to the man who showed up with 

Nancy. 

Her eyes widened in disbelief. 

How was this possible? How could that man afford something so expensive? 

“Nancy!” Raine stormed up to her. “It was you, wasn’t it? You got your man to buy the jewelry!” 

“Raine?” Nancy narrowed her eyes. “What are you going on about now?” 

Raine folded her arms. “You’re jealous that I have Alex to buy me things, while all you’ve got is a broke guy. To feed your vanity, you gave him your money so he could buy jewelry for you. Am I wrong?” 

Her eyes gleamed with disdain. “Nancy, your narcissism is terrifying.” 

Nancy couldn’t be bothered to argue and started leaving with Gideon as she uttered, “Psycho.” 

But Raine blocked her path. “You’re not going anywhere. Hand over those earrings!” 

“Why should I give you what’s mine?” 

“Are you sure you want to go up against the Fuller family?” Raine arrogantly lifted her chin. 

“That’s enough, Raine!” Alex came over and pulled her back. Looking at Gideon, he said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Unc- 

Gideon cut him off. “Keep your girlfriend in check. Otherwise, I won’t mind teaching her a lesson myself.” 

With that, he led Nancy away. 

Raine was seething. “Who does he think he is? How dare he talk to you like that? Alex, you’d better put him in his place!” 

“Enough! Stop talking already. He’s not someone you can afford to cross!” Alex snapped, finally 

 

losing his patience. 

“Not someone I can cross?” Raine’s expression changed. 

For Alex to say that… Could it be that the man was from one of the five great families in Boraska? 

Was Nancy that lucky to land a boyfriend like that? Raine found it hard to accept. 

“Alex, you must’ve been mistaken, right?” 

Alex didn’t want to say more. “That’s enough. You two go shopping. I’ve got things to do, so I’m leaving first.” 

Just like that, he walked out of the room. 

Soon after, a staff member brought Raine the items Alex had successfully purchased during the 

auction. 

Wendy leaned in. “Raine, did Alex really buy you all that? He treats you so well!” 

“Yeah, he really does. After all, I am his lifesaver.” Raine arched a brow. 

“Exactly!” Wendy’s eyes shone with envy. 

 

At the main entrance, Alex caught sight of a thin figure in the crowd. At that exact moment, a man grabbed her arm. 

“You just bumped into me, young lady. Don’t you watch where you’re going?” The greasy rich man looked Irene up and down, his eyes lingering on her attractive face as he creepily licked his lips. 

“What do you think you’re doing?” Irene tried to pull her hand back, but she wasn’t strong enough. Her whole body trembled with fear. 

“What are you so scared of? I’m not going to eat you.” The rich man laughed boisterously. “How about you buy me dinner, and we’ll call it even?” 

“I… I don’t have any money…” 

“Don’t give me that crap. Let’s go!” he said, yanking her toward his Maserati. 

At the next second, a strong hand clamped down on his wrist. Pain shot through his arm, and he spun around angrily. “Who the hell 

He stopped abruptly when he saw the familiar face. His body went cold as he started shaking like a leaf. 

“Mr. Fuller?”
