“Great idea! Let's do that.”Gently, so as not to alarm Luna, they locked the door from outside. Then, they found the electrical panel mounted on the wall and turned off the power supply for the lounge.The lights suddenly went off in the lounge. Luna looked around and could only see darkness.She reached for her phone for a flashlight, but the power was turned off. She groaned in frustration as she recalled how that happened. While waiting for Preston earlier outside the banquet hall, she played with her phone to kill both the time and her boredom. She played until the battery completely ran down.With a sigh, Luna thought of the layout of the room and walked in the direction of the door, stumbling along the way. When she finally reached the door and held the doorknob, she sighed with relief.However, she pressed it down, but it didn’t budge. She tried a few more times, but the door was locked.This wasn’t right, and it was too much of a coincidence; the locked door and the lights ou

Millie handed the first slice of cake to Claudia before dividing the rest of the cake. Once she was done, she picked up a slice of the cake and went to Preston. “Honey, have some cake.” Preston ignored the cake and stared at her, trying to figure out where she was all this time. Derek searched everywhere and couldn’t find her, only for her to show up out of nowhere at the right time. “Where were you?” He voiced his thoughts. Luna was quite the good actress, and she put up a good act with Claudia. However, Preston’s keen eyes didn’t miss the dust on her skirt. He looked down at her hand holding the cake and also noticed the cut on the base of her palm. Without looking up at Preston, Luna answered, “I listened to you and hid so you wouldn't be ashamed of me.” Preston gritted his teeth. Why couldn't she try to be nice for once? He was genuinely worried earlier. “And where exactly did you go and hide yourself? Derek searched everywhere for you and couldn’t find you. And that cut

Taken aback by his open display of annoyance toward her, Rhea let out a gasp and bit her bottom lip.She whirled around and saw Luna staring at her and Preston with narrowed eyes.Even though she might get in trouble for picking on her, the other woman acted completely unfazed, which baffled Rhea. Clearly disappointed with Luna’s actions, Preston sent a cold look in her direction.The woman must have been so anxious that she exacted revenge right away.Rhea was so shocked by the meeting of Preston’s and Luna’s eyes that she failed to detect the disapproval in the man’s gaze. She thought her eyes were playing tricks on her when she saw the two people communicating with their gazes.“Is that how you look at the men you want to seduce? You're such a bitch!”Suddenly, Rhea’s patience worn thin. She cried out in anger and charged at Luna.“Take Miss Evans to the room so that she can change and calm down.”Rhea stopped in her tracks upon hearing Preston's cold voice.She turned to look at h

The corner of Luna’s mouth twitched.“Tell him that I'd like to schedule a meeting with him. There’s something I want to discuss with him.” “Sir Leon won't agree to that. Just give up.”After saying that, the bodyguard returned to Leon’s side.Luna wrinkled her nose. Leon was strange. She was his cousin-in-law, but she could not even say a word to him. She just looked at him, and he immediately warned her to stay away from him.“Luna, you're at a fancy party, but you’re by yourself and just walking around idly. You can’t even find anyone who wants to talk to you,” Rhea commented mockingly from behind her.She had been watching the woman since she arrived at the garden.Her desire to remove the mask from Luna’s face grew stronger as she recalled the hideous scar she had seen. She was certain that doing so would cause as much chaos as if a bomb had been dropped into a placid lake. Luna turned to her with a smile.“I'm not wearing any flashy jewelry. People don’t talk to me because there

“Preston, it's cold. You can’t dive in there; you'll just prove that Luna’s telling the truth.” Preston waited a full minute, but there was still no movement from the water.He closed his eyes and tried to mentally calculate the time. Luna would drown if he did not dive in there now. With a click of his tongue, he shoved Rhea away and dove headfirst into the water.Meanwhile, at the bottom of the pool, Luna was desperately trying to free herself from a clump of water weeds, holding her breath the whole time.There were water weeds wrapped around her ankle, making her feel trapped and terrified.At this rate, she was going to drown. She also could not help but feel disappointed.The party had a lot of guests, but no one even tried to save her.Normally, even if a waiter were to fall into the water, security guards would jump in to save him right away.However, she did not lose hope. She had to fight to stay alive. She repeatedly told herself that she could not die because she still nee

“Don't listen to this ugly freak! She’s trying to set me up. I didn’t push her at all. Preston, don’t believe her.” Rhea glanced at her friends in the crowd, and they immediately caught on to what she was trying to say.“I can prove that Luna intentionally jumped into the water. I was nearby when it happened. Miss Evans didn’t push her,” one of Rhea’s friends chimed in.Someone in the crowd tutted. “Luna really has no shame. She would do anything to get what she wanted. She even jumped into the water and accused someone of pushing her.”Preston's face turned livid. Did Luna really jump into the water on her own, or was she pushed?Luna’s voice was gentle, and there was an undercurrent of fragility in it as she muttered, “I’m not lying to you, honey. Rhea really pushed me. I... I’m cold.”Despite the icy expression on Preston's face, Luna felt no fear.She adopted a coquettish tone as she continued, “Honey, don’t you believe me? I get that Rhea is beautiful and that you find my looks

Preston watched as Luna’s lips twisted in apparent dissatisfaction. The woman did not seem proud of her physical attractiveness. She even scowled disapprovingly at him, as if the exposure of her real face was his fault. Preston could not help but wonder why she deliberately disguised her beauty.“What are you still standing there for? Take Luna to one of the spare rooms so that she can change her dress.” Soon, Luna was changing her dress in a previously empty room. Celeste looked her up and down. If Luna did not come from a poor background, she and her son would be a perfect match.Celeste felt like she had ridden a roller coaster that night. Earlier, she nearly passed out from rage when she spotted Luna at the party, despite having forbidden her to come. Then, she saw her daughter-in-law’s real face, and now, she did not know how to feel about Luna.Rhea pushed the door open and called, “Mrs. King.”She clenched her teeth, feeling worried and furious at the same time. Celeste’s react

“Does it really hurt, sweetheart? Come on, stick out your tongue and kiss me.”If Luna could disappear in that moment, she would have. She was mortified. How were the walls so thin? The non-existent soundproof wasn’t helping,Luna expected Preston to be just as embarrassed as she was. But when she looked up, she saw a man that was totally unaffected by whatever was going on in the next room.She wondered how he could remain so calm when she was a mess inside.Suddenly, a mischievous idea came to Luna’s mind. She stood on tiptoe and brought her lips close Preston’ ear.“Honey, why do people stick out their tongues when kissing? It makes no sense.”Preston narrowed his eyes at the mischievous glint in Luna’s eyes and replied simply, “Ask again and you'll get your answer.” Was he daring her?Luna stuck out her tongue for a brief second and asked boldly, “Since you didn’t hear me, | asked why people have to stick out their tongue to kiss.”Suddenly, Preston’ gaze turned dark, and his face
