THE DESIRE OF FIRST LOVE
CHAPTER 49. Legitimate owner

***VIP Room Charity Auction***

An auction employee smiled kindly to Dian as the young girl handed over the number 77 board. The auctioneer checked the form in his hand, then opened one of the boxes containing an antique dagger belonging to Adi Bramasta.

"Miss. Please check for a moment this antique keris," said the auction official politely.

Dian nodded her head and opened the keris sheath for a while, then put it back in. The antique keris was well-preserved and the knife eyes were very shiny.

"Thank you," Dian said and handed the kris over to the auction clerk.

The auctioneer keeps the kris into a long box.

"Wait a minute, miss. I will prepare the payment administration now" said the auction official.

"All right" answered Dian.

Dian chatted lightly with Billy while waiting for the auction clerk. Laura and Anastasia's faces flushed red with anger because Dian had ignored them since being in the room.

"Dian! You're so disrespectful, don't greet older people!" laura said arrogantly.

Dian raised her eyebrows and gave a astonished look to Laura. "It turns out Madame Laura was also in this room. Was he queuing up to pick up auction items as well?" ask Dian to the auction officer.

The auctioneer looked at the numberboard Laura and Anastasia were holding, then checked on the form.

"Sorry lady Laura. You didn't buy anything at the auction earlier," said the auction official politely.

"Not buyers? Why are you in this VIP room?" ask Dian.

Laura and Anastasia grew furious at hearing question after question from Dian's mouth to the auction clerk.

"Sorry ladies and gentlemen! This VIP room is exclusively for buyers" said the auction clerk, with the intention of subtly evicting the two of them.

"Hey Dian! Don't think you have a back, you can be arrogant in front of me! I'm your in-law!" snapping Laura.

Dian and Billy chuckled as they listened to Laura.

"Madam Laura must be too old to forget her memory. I've divorced your son and not your daughter-in-law anymore" Dian said.

"That's right! The old madam is looking for another woman to be her daughter-in-law!" billy said.

"Dian! You are so disrespectful! After all, you are a parent that you should respect!" anastasia.

"You want to teach me a lesson again?" dian asked Anastasia while smiling faintly.

Anastasia's face turned pale instantly. His little heart knew he had been humiliated by Dian so many times that fear arose and took a few steps back spontaneously.

"Miss. This is the payment administration" the auction official said.

Laura and Anastasia grew increasingly panicked at the words of the auction officials. An antique kris can't fall into Dian's hands.

"Dian! I give you 550 million. This antique kris is mine!" said Laura.

The antique keris problem was such a big deal that Laura was forced to call Stefan and tell him everything.

"If lady Laura has 550 million, why not bargain just now? Now it's too late because this antique kris is mine," Dian replied calmly.

"I called Stefan. Stefan's on his way here" Laura said.

During the wedding, Laura finds out Dian loves Stefan so wants to use Stefan's name to make Dian obey his orders as she used to.

"CEO Stefan come or not, this antique kris is mine!" dian said firmly.

"Dian! Your 550 million is pocket money from Stefan. So this antique keris belongs to the Bramasta family!" laura shouted impatiently.

"Really! That's Bramasta's family money. Not your money" Anastasia said.

Dian shook her head while giving a disdainful look to the two arrogant women in front of her. Dian had deliberately bid for 550 million because he believed these two foolish women would be shameless to admit the money belonged to the Bramasta family.

"I gave the 550 million selflessly to Stefan when I signed the divorce papers. You can ask him, "Anian replied.

Laura and Anastasia's eyes were round because of Dian's words. Dian didn't care about the two of them anymore. The young girl took out a wallet and pulled out a black credit card, which was the signature version with the maximum limit.

"I paid using this credit card," Dian said as he handed the credit card to the auction clerk.

Laura and Anastasia were getting more and more agitated. What's more Stefan hasn't arrived yet so Laura is thinking of a plan to hold back Dian's departure and reclaim an antique kris.

"Madam Laura already knew the importance of this kris, but still brought it to the auction place. Means you who want grandfather to suffer and die with regret. It has nothing to do with me" Dian replied.

"Ha ha ha!" Billy laughed out loud spontaneously making Laura and Anastasia's faces redder.

"It's the lady's credit card" said the auctioneer.

Dian affixed the signature on the credit card slip and also the legal ownership file on the antique dagger.

"Thank you miss," said the auctioneer with a big smile.

The conversation between Dian and Laura did not affect the auction clerk doing his job according to the auction rules.

Billy immediately picked up the box containing the antique dagger and held it tightly, as if afraid that the two crazy women would snatch it.

Dian chuckled with Billy's frenzied reaction, then looked towards Laura and Anastasia.

"I bought this antique kris through a charity and legal auction. Everyone here can be a witness. I hope you guys don't bother me anymore" Dian said.

Just as Billy and Dian stepped out a few steps, the door of the VIP room opened from the outside. Stefan's figure appeared there along with a man dressed in a neat suit.

"Fa!" call Laura with a cramped face.

"Sister Fan! Dian snatched the antique keris from grandfather. Grandfather will definitely be furious," Anastasia said, throwing all the blame at Dian.

"Sia! Your guts are so big stealing grandpa's antique dagger!" furious Stefan.

Anastasia fell silent and lowered her head at Stefan's anger.

"Is the transaction completed?" ask the man in suit to the auction clerk.

"Already sir. This miss has already paid for it," the auctioneer replied as he pointed at Dian.

"This man must have hosted this auction event. It's a good thing I've finished the transaction before she comes," said Dian.

"Dians. I'm gonna buy this kris. You want to sell me how many antiques?" ask Stefan in a soft voice.

The legal ownership file was already in Dian's hands so Stefan intended to buy it. Adi Bramasta will surely be furious if the antique keris is gone.

"I don't need money and won't sell it" Dian replied confidently.

"Oh yes. Your family asked for the 550 million pocket money I gave back when I got divorced" Dian continued.

Stefan stood in his place because of Dian's words, while Dian and Billy walked leisurely leaving the VIP room.

Laura and Anastasia panic over Dian's departure.

"Fa! Dian can't take an antique kris away!" said Laura.

"Ma! Grandfather will definitely be furious and drive us out of the mansion," Anastasia said frantically as she sobbed.

"I'll try to get the antique kris back. You two go home to the mansion and admit all wrongs to grandfather!" stefan said and walked away leaving them both.

"Fa! The fan!"

"Sister Fan! Brother Fan!"

Stefan paid no heed to the screams and calls from Laura and Anastasia. Today's incident was the fault of both of them so Stefan wanted them to take responsibility for facing grandfather and bear all the punishment.

During this time Laura and Anastasia live too happily and often make up the problems that Stefan eventually resolves, but this time Stefan will not help cover up their mistakes again.
