CHAPTER 52

Her loud scream resonated through the banquet hall.

Lara was on a short skirt that could do nothing to protect her knee as it landed on the broken pieces of glass. Her face and ears turned red in embarrassment at her indecent posture.

Luna hurried over to help her up.

Before she could touch her, a middle-aged man rushed over and pushed her away.

“Lara!” he called in a panicked tone and assisted the young Lara to her feet. He was Lara’s father, Johnnie Yerkes. Before long, a crowd had already gathered around the scene.

“Dad, someone deliberately pushed me. You have to do something,” Lara said, her vision blurring with tears as she saw the think red liquid oozing out of her knee.

When she looked up again, her eyes coincidentally fell on Luna and her eyes went wide. She pointed blatantly at Luna and stated like a spoilt child, “She’s the one who pushed me, dad!”

Lara was the cherished gem of her family. She was loved by everyone, and had never gone through a single hardship in her life.
