Luna took a deep breath. She raised her gaze to look at Neil. “Do you know where are we? I have to look for my friend right now.”Neil nodded. “My car is just outside. I can send you over.”Then, he headed out while saying, “You’re rushing to attend the engagement ceremony tonight, right?”Luna paused for a while before catching up with him. “Yes.”“I saw the news of your engagement.” Then, Neil stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Luna. “Can I come?”Luna was stunned as she gazed at Neil in front of her. “You…want to come to the engagement ceremony?”“Mmh.” Neil nodded. “I heard that you need an invitation to attend the ceremony, so can you give me an invitation? I want to just have a look around and eat.”Luna was silent for a while. After seeing Neil, she was immensely delighted that she almost forgot she needed to ask him something.“Jake.”She walked to Neil and took an invitation out from her bag and passed it to him. “I welcome you to our engagement ceremony.”N
Theo’s hometown was very far away. If Theo was truly free, that he was going to leave Banyan City, he would definitely contact her. He would not leave without saying goodbye.Also, Nathan and Celeste left Banyan City not long ago. She even especially went to see them. Both of them were still in grief at Theo's passing, not knowing that Theo was alive.Thus…Neil saying that Theo went back to his hometown was just an excuse. At that moment, Theo must be suffering.If Theo was doing well, Neil would outright say where he was and what he was doing. He would not use the excuse of going back to his hometown as a cover.At that thought, Luna’s heart ached terribly. She turned and asked Neil, “Then…are you still in contact with him? Is he doing well?”Neil paused for a while and looked at Luna confusedly. He did not understand why this woman would suddenly care for Uncle Theo. It was Uncle Theo that had a crush on her, but why was she suddenly concerned for him? However, Neil still an
Anne furrowed her brows and said, “Luna, who the hell kidnapped you? You said that he kept mentioning Joshua. He should be one of Joshua’s enemies and wanted to use this opportunity to embarrass Joshua.“But, Joshua’s power in Banyan City has been solidified for many years. No one would dare to do anything to him nor dare touch any of his people, so who in the world kidnapped you?”Luna furrowed her brows and shook her head. “I’m not sure either. I—”Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed three people in front of her.Adrian, Celia, and Michael. Adrian and Celia were dressed up to the nines like they were the parents of the main star of the night.However, Michael, next to them…He looked rather disheveled in his suit. He was walking and tying his tie at the same time. He clearly came in a rush. He had just donned his suit, too.Luna could not help but furrow her brows.For the past few days, every time she saw them, the three of them were always together, as if they
Joshua’s gaze was too cold. Too frigid.Anne was scared half to death by his gaze. She immediately hid behind Luna, not even able to formulate words properly. “I… Luna…she… She’s always been with me.”Joshua smiled and looked at Anne who was behind Luna, then he looked at Luna calmly. “Didn’t you two discuss how you were going to explain to me before coming over?”Then, Joshua looked at Lucas, by the side, flatly, “Go get me two bottles of makeup remover.”Anne was instantly in a daze at his words.Makeup remover?Anne subconsciously looked at Luna’s face. Her bruises were covered well, so how did Joshua notice?Luna furrowed her brows and stopped Lucas, shooting Joshua a helpless gaze. “Are you really going to ask me to take off my makeup here?”Joshua narrowed his eyes. “I just don’t like it that your makeup is too thick.”Luna took a deep breath. Of course, she knew that Joshua wanted her to remove her makeup not only because her makeup was too thick.Luna went in closer t
“Tell me, did you see Michael do anything inappropriate to you?”Luna narrowed her eyes.Adrian’s reaction… It was obvious that he knew what Michael had done, or he would not have defended him like that. The fact that Adrian asked Luna that was because he was sure that when Michael kidnapped Luna that time, he was wearing a mask.At that thought, Luna felt chills running down her spine.Adrian would indulge in his illegitimate son kidnapping his other son’s fiancée, yet still insisted that he was in the right.Was this type of person actually Joshua’s biological father?“That’s enough, enough.” Celia immediately came to soothe the situation. “Today is Joshua and Luna’s happy day; don’t fight because of small matters. Let’s not mention that Michael did anything to Luna. Even if he really did something…as long as Luna isn’t hurt, it’s fine. Just treat it as a joke between family members.”Then, Celia smiled at Luna. “Your makeup is gorgeous!”Luna narrowed her eyes and said nothi
Neil’s appearance caused an uproar at the venue.Everyone had seen Luna and Joshua’s son before, and that was Nigel.At that moment, Nigel, in a suit, was sitting in the corner, just as stunned as everyone else as he looked over.“Nigel, it’s Neil.”Nellie bit her lip and carefully grabbed Nigel’s hand. Nigel lifted his head and coincidentally met with Neil’s gaze.Both of them looked at each other in the distance through the crowd.The crowd looked at the boy at the entrance, then they looked at Nigel, who was sitting on the sofa.The both of them looked exactly alike! Not only did they look alike, but they were also dressed alike, and with a bow tie, even. It was like a mirror image!However…The boy just said that Joshua abandoned his mother and got engaged to another woman? Amid the stunned gaze of the crowd, Neil took a deep breath and carried the tablet in his hands, walking to the stage situated in the middle of the venue.Joshua and Luna’s photo had been placed on t
“That’s right. Joshua, the scumbag, had an affair with my mother while being married to Luna.“Later on, that jerk schemed to hurt Luna, causing her to meet in an accident and die. Then, he turned around to get engaged with my mother. He coaxed and cheated her to get engaged with him.“Also, he told the public that it was Luna who had an affair and she killed herself because she was guilty about it. He even forged Luna’s will, letting my mother think that Luna killed herself and writing in her will for her to get married to Joshua. That was why she willingly became Joshua’s fiancée.“I’m sure all of you know what happened next. My mother became the fiancée without any status for five years. It was until when Luna returned to Banyan City with her two children once more, Joshua was suddenly sick of my mother. He colluded with Luna to send my mother to the mental asylum. In the end, they forced her to quit the entertainment industry and leave the country.”Everyone was so shocked at N
The moment Aura knelt, chaos broke out. Everyone gazed at the sobbing woman on the screen, discussing among themselves in hushed tones.Luna shuddered a little.Aura was lying. Although the ceremony that night was strict, no one could enter without an invitation, but…Luna had already made sure the bodyguards were familiar with Aura’s face. As long as Aura appeared, they would immediately recognize her.Whether it was the front entrance or back door, no one informed about Aura appearing since the beginning of the ceremony.This woman did not even go close to the venue. She only filmed herself being near the venue, asking for pity!What Aura said about Joshua or Luna not giving her an invitation was not true at all!Luna always thought that Aura would personally come to the ceremony to cause trouble, but she never expected that Aura would not appear, that only a recording of her would.Luna was the one that personally gave Neil, the one who brought the recording in, the invitati
