Wife by Deception: The Billionaire And the Impostor CHAPTER 27
“How dare you glare at me, you bitch? You two, make her drink. I’m going to kill her,” Harvey hissed, angered by Grace’s audacity to talk back at him.Immediately, two bodyguards dragged Grace away from Luna, forced her mouth open, and poured alcohol down her throat.Luna’s pulse quickened with rage. The people in the room were a vile bunch of scum. She ran toward the man closest to Grace and swatted the glass of alcohol away from his hand. She then slammed a wad of cash on the coffee table.“I don’t care if you want this money or not. I won’t let you punish her for something that isn’t even her fault. I'm taking her with me.” Luna pulled Grace to the door, but the bodyguards blocked their way. Harvey suddenly clapped his hands.“You have a lot of guts, woman. I don’t know what you look like because you're wearing a mask, but I can tell that you have quite a temper. Let’s make a deal, shall we? I’ll let your friend go.”Luna looked at the sly smile on his face suspiciously. “If you're

She ran her fingers down its rim and studied the room’s illumination stealthily. She was waiting for the bright light that flashed in the room every fifteen seconds.As soon as she saw it coming, she immediately removed her mask.“Everyone, watch closely. I’m going to drink now,” Luna declared. Tilting her head back, she downed the drink in one go. Suddenly, a bright light emanated from her face, giving her an eerie appearance, and the room took on an eerie atmosphere. With a quiver in his voice, one of the men asked, “What did I just see? Did you all see that too?”Everyone in the room had perplexed looks on their faces.Just now, when the bright light fell on Luna’s face, they purposefully widened their eyes, expecting to see a beautiful woman. Instead of that, however, they were confronted with a terrible visage. Luna's scars, which covered her entire face, were a web of red and black lines. When her dark lips parted to expose a gaping mouth, she looked like a demonic monster.They

"We want to get even with him.” The drunk man got to his feet. His words slurred as he said, “Uh, yeah, sure.” With that, he staggered out of the room. Currently, Preston was in Room One. A few minutes after Luna left, everyone scattered from the card table and entered the lounge area. Preston loosened the top two buttons of his shirt as he settled on a white sofa made of fine leather. He furrowed his brow as he rested his elbow on the armrest and glanced at his bandaged wound. A flash of discomfort crossed Mylo’s face when he also glanced at the bandage on Preston’s arm. The man’s strength and viciousness made him a formidable opponent in a fight, but he lost earlier when the woman bit him. The sight of it was tragically comical. “Preston, is your wife a dog or something? What's she like at home? Does she bite people there, too?” Mylo asked curiously. Preston glanced at him but did not respond. Mylo touched the bridge of his nose, pretending he had not said anything. Aft

Luna, who was completely drunk now, pointed her finger in the direction of the speaker.“You're the ugly one here, not me! For your information, I’m the most beautiful woman in the world.”“What?”The room went silent.Mylo and Delmor stared at Luna in shock. She was wearing a mask, so it was impossible to see her face now.Both of them took a quick look around the room, their gazes sweeping at the drunk scumbags. If they understood it correctly, these people threw up after seeing Luna’s face.Preston’s eyebrows wrinkled even further.Did these grown men really vomit just because they saw Luna’s face?Did she really look that repulsive?Luna, who was too drunk to care about anything, abruptly broke free from Grace’s hold, lunged at Preston, and hugged his arm. “Honey, don’t listen to them. They’re lying. I’m very beautiful. Hold on. Help me; I can’t stand on my own.”Preston glanced at Luna by him who reeked of alcohol. How could she have drunk so much in such a short time?Preston tr

"Luna, this should be the last time you go out drinking. The next time something like this happens, I’m going to kill you." With a resentful huff, Preston carried Luna in his arms, while Mylo and Delmor stifled their laughter behind their hands. Their friend had definitely married a woman that was one of a kind.Out of the teahouse, Preston roughly dumped Luna onto the back seat. He was about to close the door, but she started acting out again, leaving Preston no choice but to sit in the back with her."Sit properly!" he ordered. In the driver’s seat, Ethan was surprised. "Drive!" Preston snapped coldly when he caught the driver looking back at them.As soon as the car started moving, Luna felt sick. She felt suffocated. In a desperate attempt to feel better, she raised her hand to open the window for a breath of fresh air."Do you have a death wish or what?" Preston scolded and pulled her back.Luna lost the little balance she had and fell onto Preston's lap. Then, she looked up at h

She then made some changes to the magnolia-shaped brooch’s design before sending it to the jeweller with a request to finish it as quickly as possible.Since she was unable to make it due to her current situation, she had someone else do it for her. Next, Luna set about picking out an outfit to wear to Claudia’s birthday party.After much deliberation, she settled on a dress in a lovely pastel purple with a shade that was just right—not too dull, yet not too vibrant.Unbeknownst to her, Bria was standing guard outside the bedroom as she did some tidying up. “Fuck,” Bria muttered. “What a shame to see such a lovely dress on someone with a hideous face.”Afterward, Luna went to the bathroom to take a shower. Her body reeked from not having been washed since the day before. As she closed the door to the bathroom, Bria pulled out a pair of scissors from her pocket. She took a quick look around, tiptoed into the bedroom, and then stealthily snipped holes in the dress.Half an hour later, L

“Take this card. You can buy a new dress for yourself tomorrow. Can you go to bed now?”Luna picked up the card and observed it thoroughly with a frown. It was a gold card. Impressive. Watching her observe the card so much, Preston sneered inwardly.Now, he understood why she did all this. She played the victim just to get some money.“It's really generous of you to give me a gold card. You should hold on to it though. I may not be wealthy, but I won't ask anyone for money. I’m not mending this dress because I can’t afford one, but because I have never worn it before. I won’t let it go to waste.”After weighing the card in her hand for another second, Luna pushed it back towards Preston who was frowning.That was the last thing he expected to happen. Clearly caught off guard, he angrily walked away saying, “The money in there is just too small to satisfy you, is it not?”The next second, the room was filled with lights, illuminating the room.Luna furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.“

“What's the scent of your shower gel? It smells really nice.” Preston exposed his thought as he thought of the pink bottles in the bathroom that he never bothered to look at until today.Luna blinked several times at him, amazed by the man in front of her. He was holding her back because her shower gel smelled nice?“I’ve always used papaya-flavored shower gel. You can use it too if you want. The bottle is big enough for two to use,” she answered despite her dismay.Papaya-flavored shower gel cleansed the skin and had a good emollient effect on the skin. Coupled with its delicate fragrance, Luna couldn't help but fall in love with it.“If that’s all, we should head to bed,” Luna said, wondering why he was still holding onto her. As if to answer her question, Preston suddenly pulled her closer, staring so intently at her that Luna became uncomfortable.Slowly, his free hand moved to her ear and trailed down its base, towards the line of her neck. It itched a little, and her legs sudde

Did he like Luna? He was not really sure about that because they had just met.He could not deny that he felt comfortable around the woman, though.“I’m sorry, but I can’t answer that. It’s a personal matter.”Rhea silently berated him for his response, but she maintained a smile on her face.“Look, I just want to help because I can tell you’re interested in Luna. I guess we should clear up a misunderstanding first. It may not look like it, but Luna and I are actually good friends. She’s just angry at me right now because we got into a little bit of an argument.”After a while, Patrick asked, “Does this mean that Luna is still single?”Finally, the most important question was asked. Rhea did not even bat an eye as she lied. “Yes, she’s absolutely single right now.”“Then tell me. What's the relationship between her and Mr. King?”It was still bugging Patrick. Luna denied being Preston’s employee, and she also claimed they had just met, but they clearly had known each other for some ti

Luna replied, “Of course not...”“Yes, she works for the King Group, and if not for this encounter, I would’ve had no idea that someone so undisciplined had been hired by my company. It looks like we need to replace HR.”It was then that Derek approached them and said, “Mr. King, you have a meeting this afternoon. We have to go now.” Preston shot Luna a warming look before he left. She shuddered in fear, but she managed to shrug it off.She inhaled deeply as she watched his retreating figure. The atmosphere seemed to lighten almost immediately after Preston left.“Why did you talk to Mr. King like that? Aren’t you afraid that he’ll fire you?” Luna rolled her eyes. “Do you really think he’s my boss? You need glasses. There’s something wrong with your eyes.”“What’s your relationship with him, then? He’s a very busy person, but he still approached you when he saw you. Is he your brother? But you don’t look like each other at all.”Luna did not want to tell him that Preston was her husba

Patrick nodded and replied, “Don’t doubt it. With advanced technology, anything is possible. It’s feasible to extract excellent genes from large oranges and carefully cultivate them. They could grow as big as a grapefruit or even as large as a pumpkin.”Luna was taken aback. How could an orange grow to the size of a pumpkin? If that happened, her whole family wouldn’t be able to finish a single orange.Confidently, Patrick shared a smile, revealing a set of perfectly aligned teeth.“You find it hard to believe? ‘Super Orange’ is a recent research project at our academy. When the day comes and ‘Super Orange’ is successful, I'll be the first to send one to you so you can witness this miracle.”Luna was inspired by Patrick’s confidence. Yes, she shouldn't forget that the boy before her was a talented individual from a research academy.Luna also found Patrick intriguing.“Alright, I'll get a tub to gather them,” Luna agreed, smiling.With his prominent eyebrows and large eyes, Patrick sh

The worst that can happen is a bit of sweat from the sun, but | won’t get sunstroke.”Initially, Luna found the boy’s appearance slightly peculiar, yet as the saying goes, one should not slap a smiling person. Thus, she responded in kind.The boy weighed the orange in his hand and offered Luna a beaming smile.“You're correct. |, too, found it difficult to fall asleep, so | decided to take a stroll in the orchard. Napping isn’t a habit of mine. Allow me to introduce myself first. I’m Patrick. And you?”Luna glanced at him, remaining cautious. Without responding, she continued to gather oranges. “You've collected quite a number of oranges. Will you be able to finish them all? Oranges don’t keep well for long; they spoil easily,” Patrick kindly urged.Luna stole a glance at Patrick. Why did this person talk so much? However, when she looked at his smiling face, she couldn’t discern any ill intentions.“T won't be eating them alone. Many people will share them, so | need to gather more,”

Preston feigned curiosity and continued, “King, you truly are a scholar of great accomplishment. Your choice of words is undeniably refined. ‘Enlightening’? Using your mouth to enlighten Luna, you drew so near that one might mistake a kiss for imminent. It is rather embarrassing. In broad daylight, couldn’t you have sought a more secluded setting to educate her?”King couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, “Damn.”Meanwhile, at the entrance to her room, Luna gently tapped her forehead, her face still emanating a heat akin to a simmering fire. Given the chance, she would undoubtedly impart a valuable lesson to Preston.“Bitch!”Rhea emerged from the adjacent room and immediately commenced her assault on Luna's character as soon as she caught sight of her retreating figure.“You conniving woman. You are naught but a seductress, employing every means to captivate King.” Luna turned around, her eyes meeting Rhea’s fiery gaze.Rhea had just witnessed the interaction between King and Lu

Preston seethed with anger. It turned out that Luna had used the perfume not because he had sent it but because she believed it had come from her best friend.“How about this? How much did the perfume cost? I will transfer the money to you.”Luna felt a profound sense of embarrassment. She genuinely had no knowledge that Preston had purchased the perfume. She abhorred taking advantage of others and presently felt remorseful.Nevertheless, the perfume he had chosen was truly exceptional. Perhaps he had intended it for some other woman.Luna retrieved her phone, gloomy in demeanor.She wanted to transfer the money to him? Preston was livid. Luna had genuinely enraged him.“Disregard it. A change of heart has befallen me. I shall withhold the transfer,” Luna proclaimed, tucking away her phone abruptly.“Have you finally come to your senses?” Preston quipped, a slight raise of his eyebrow betraying his amusement.“After thorough deliberation,” Luna retorted, “I have resolved to procure an

She glanced at Preston, who averted his eyes. Yet Luna sensed that there was something concealed behind his prior gaze.Luna covered her mouth, feigning drowsiness.“I shall retire for a nap. You should rest as well.”As Luna prepared to depart, Preston took a step forward, blocking her path. Luna nearly collided with him, bringing them into uncomfortably close proximity.Luna’s heartbeat quickened. She inquired, “What are you doing?”“You possess the key to my room, so why don’t you sleep there?” Preston lowered his gaze, fixating on Luna’s head. His magnetic voice wafted above Luna's head, leaving her tingling with a jolt of electricity.“I am injured. It would be inconvenient for me to rest on the sofa. I require a proper respect.“Is that the sole reason?” Observing Preston’s probing eyes, Luna nodded. “Indeed, that is the reason.”In truth, who would willingly choose to share a room with you? Isn’t it far more tranquil and independent to occupy a room alone? Luna pondered silentl

The only person who seemed particularly angry with this, was Rhea. “Drop it here, Preston. Luna is waiting!” Bruce urged. Preston threw Bruce a warning glare before taking out the room card from his chest pocket and giving it to Bruce. Bruce rushed back to the front desk and handed the card to Luna who didn’t even touch it. “Luna, here’s Preston’s room card.” “You should give that back to him. I’ve already booked a room for myself,” Luna replied casually. Bruce frowned, confused. “Why do you want to be in a different room from your husband?” Luna took the card the receptionist was giving to her and said, “The owner explained the rooms here are generally small, and might be a bit crowded for two people. I think we'll both be able to rest better if we have our own space.” She was fed up with sleeping on the sofa at home. She wouldn’t put herself through that out here too. Her neck hurt, and she could already feel it getting stiff. Plus, she knew that sharing a room with P

King had stupidly insisted on studying medicine, giving Preston the leeway to gain control over most of the Miller family’s businesses. Even now that King had decided to get into business, he still wasn’t as sharp as Preston.Preston had successfully gained Claudia’s favor, and was now the owner of most of the Miller family’s fortune.King turned back to look at his father and answered him with disdain, “If you want to have the chance to enjoy the rest of your miserable life, you'd better stop thinking too highly of yourself and know your place. Preston may be your nephew, but his mind a hundred times sharper than yours. The only thing your brain can do, is play around with women and bring my mother trouble.”Brock clamped his mouth shut after that, watching in silence as his son walked farther away from him.What more did he actually expect? King had held a grudge against him since forever. He was probably also haunted by that year when he got missing.“Mr. Miller,” called a bodyguar
