“It seems Ms. Luna is an elite, as Mr. Lynch insists on bringing you along wherever he goes.”The conversation suddenly turned toward her, Luna coughed slightly, “Mr. Lynch wanted to give me some exposure.”“She’s a designer.”Joshua said while he ate elegantly, “In terms of jewelry design, she is indeed an elite.”Hailey lifted her lips in a smile. “It’s easy to grow fond of the capable ones.”With that, she studied Luna from head to toe. “If there’s a chance, I would like to introduce our designer to Ms. Luna, so they can discuss and exchange their opinions.”Luna frowned and was about to say something when she noticed the hatred in Hailey’s eyes.The glint of enmity in her eyes made Luna shudder.If her memory served her right, this was her first time meeting Hailey as Luna.Why did she hold such a big sense of hostility toward her?It was even much stronger than the sense of hostility she displayed when she caused havoc at her and Joshua’s wedding all those years ago.So
The sound of Gwen’s slap rang across the banquet hall.Luna covered her face in shock, turning to look at her.Gwen crossed her arms across her chest and snorted coldly, “Who knew you still dared come here!”She glared at Luna viciously, her eyes full of haughty derision. “In Banyan City, you dared seduce another woman’s husband, ruining her marriage until she’s getting a divorce, and now you dare come flaunting your claws in Sea City!”Gwen’s voice was loud and boisterous, attracting the attention of everyone around them. They crowded around them instinctively.As the crowd expanded, Gwen grew more aggressive. “And yet you dare come here? Do you know Alice is from Sea City, the people of Sea City are supporting her!”Even though Joshua was a family name in Banyan City, in Sea City, not many people knew him.Most people had missed the news, but hearing Gwen’s words, the crowd erupted into a sea of discussion.“She’s so beautiful, who could guess she’s just a mistress…”“And sh
“Not to mention the fact that they’re still married, even if they’re divorced, you don’t stand a chance!”With that, she raised her hand and signaled the security guards. “Throw her out of here!”“Wait.”The moment the words left Gwen’s mouth; Luna laughed coldly.She glanced at Gwen. “According to the rules, you’re right, I shouldn’t be here since my name is on the guestlist. But Ms. Larson, this is a banquet organized by the Walter family. Are you part of the Walter family?”Gwen was rendered silent.Luna continued. “Even if I am to be chased out, it should be done by the Walters, don’t you think so?”Gwen’s expression turned ugly. Coincidentally, Hailey and Alice walked by.Eagle-eyed Gwen noticed them immediately, rushed toward them and grabbed onto Hailey, “Miss Walter, this woman barged into the banquet without an invitation!”Hailey paused.Beside her, Alice stopped too.Dressed in her light purple gown, Alice raised her eyes, faking an astonished expression. “Ms. L
Luna frowned and turned around instinctively.Behind her, a middle-aged man stood, supporting himself with a cane, glaring at her with eyes full of barely veiled contempt.Beside him, Joshua stood, expressionless.The middle-aged man was the one who spoke.He held the authority in the Walter family, Hailey’s father, Dennis Walter.Seeing Luna turn her back, Dennis snorted coldly, “In these 50 plus years of my life, this is the first time someone has dared to dishonor the Walter family like this at a banquet organized by us!”Luna raised her lips in a smile.She lifted her eyes, meeting him fearlessly. “Mr. Walter, you merely witnessed how I disrespected your family, then did you see how your family disrespected me?”With that, she raised her hand and pointed at the guestlist Gwen used to humiliate her. “This afternoon Ms. Walter personally asked me for my name, and gave me an invitation card. I came here as a designer for the Lynch Group. And now? Not only is my name not on the
As he spoke, he even smiled and took a glance at Luna. “Ms. Luna, this is a banquet that I organized intentionally for Mr. Lynch, you wouldn’t want to spoil the atmosphere for a minor disagreement like this?”Luna narrowed her eyes.She let go of Joshua’s hand and looked at Dennis expressionlessly. “Was I the one who spoiled the atmosphere, or did your family’s disrespect spoil the atmosphere?”The woman’s unforgiving attitude caused a baleful glint to appear in the old man’s views. Sucking in a deep breath, he faked a smile and said, “Since both Ms. Luna and Mr. Lynch care so deeply about this issue, I’ll get to the bottom of it right now!”With that, Dennis gave Hailey who was standing beside him the side-eye. “Hailey, when you finalized the guest list, did you include Ms. Luna’s name?”Hailey smiled and nodded. “I passed it to Mr. Walter as soon as it was finalized.”The butler known as Mr. Walter was immediately located and brought to the hall.After getting to know the si
That insincere apology only made Luna laugh.After a deep inhale, she lifted her gaze and glanced at the butler, Mr. Walter. “So, you’re saying that you only know Mrs. Lynch used to be known as Luna Gibson and had no idea another woman who went by the name Luna existed in this world, am I right?”The butler frowned slightly and remained silent. “Of course he doesn’t know!” Dennis laughed coldly. “If he knew Ms. Luna and Luna Gibson were two different people and did this on purpose, that means he’s intentionally trying to cause trouble for you.“Mr. Walter has worked as our butler for more than 20 years. He, at least, knows not to do something like this.”“I see.” Luna sucked in a deep breath and quietly pressed the button on her necklace.After a soft beep, she laughed lightly and continued, “So, according to the old Mr. Walter, if the butler knew from the start that I and Luna Gibson are two separate individuals, that means he did all this on purpose, no?”The woman’s words ma
Luna sucked in a deep breath and looked at the email Nigel sent to her on her phone.After she pressed the button on her necklace, Nigel had heard the entire conversation from her side.The little boy had sent her the evidence.Luna walked forward elegantly and stood in the middle of the crowd. “Mr. Walter, can I borrow a projector from you?”Five minutes later, Luna connected her phone to the projector and clicked the document open.“This is a set of statistics on a group of netizens that have been discrediting me in Banyan City. According to the IP address and source of the signal, the netizens are from an internet company registered abroad, and the legal owner of this company is the butler.” Instantly, the crowd exploded in a frenzy.Dennis turned to look at the butler in surprise. The butler, on the other hand, pointed in Alice’s direction discreetly and remained silent.Dennis buried his face in his hands helplessly.Alice and the butler did all that behind his back and
The butler was no innocent, simple-minded old man.The butler’s face fell as he listened to Alice’s words. “Ms. Gibson, I didn’t do all of this for you. I did them for my daughter, Yvonne! She’s good friends with you, and if you’re unhappy because of this woman, she’ll be just as unhappy, too.“As her father, it’s only natural that I wouldn’t want to see my daughter sad and moping around every day! Besides...”He glared at Luna viciously, and a cold smile hung from his lips. “This woman used work as an excuse to stay beside Mr. Lynch, but in actuality, she harbors ill-intentions toward him! Why shouldn’t I expose the actions of a woman who intentionally seduces a married man, showing the world how evil and calculating she is?”The hatred in his eyes as he glared at Luna and spat those words far surpassed the hatred one would have for a mistress.Luna narrowed her eyes slightly.A moment later, her lips twisted into a smile as she laughed coldly. “The old butler cares so much abou
