These individuals consumed wine as if it were a mere necessity, drinking with an unquenchable thirst. Before long, they had each indulged in five glasses. Luna stood there, dumbfounded, her senses overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of their consumption.“The countdown begins. You have a mere five minutes to complete the task at hand. Your objective is to assume a squatting position.” Preston, having finished his drink, raised his wrist to check the time and fixed his gaze on Luna.Caught off guard, Luna was momentarily stunned. It was clear to her that Preston insisted on drinking, only to compel her to squat.With a resigned sigh, Luna complied, lowering herself into a squatting position. Instantly, she felt her stature diminished, reduced to a maid-like figure, and her energy subdued.Luna noticed several girls suppressing their laughter, their mirth directed at her predicament. She averted her gaze, taking a deep breath, determined to maintain her composure. Head held high, she per

This overwhelming surge of excitement flooded Luna’s being, threatening to burst forth from deep within her. “You can roll a six with your eyes closed. How did you make a mistake?” Delmor expressed his confusion.After briefly glancing at Luna, Preston chose not to explain. Instead, he reached for a glass of wine beside him, drinking it as a testament to his loss.“Luna, you may rise now.”Luna nodded, rubbing her calves. She struggled to stand, her legs trembling.Seeking immediate respite, Luna gravitated toward the nearest sofa, sinking onto it, using a pillow to shield her trembling legs. Having squatted for thirty minutes, Luna had her back glistening with sweat, her fingertips trembling.She bit her lower lip, stealing a glance at Preston, who continued to drink with a calm countenance, unfazed by his loss.It became evident to Luna that Preston possessed a mastery of dice rolling. If his goal was to win, he would not experience defeat.Preston pulled a gold lighter from his sui

Without a word, she walked past the two individuals and continued on her way. “Who does she think she is? How arrogant!”“She must be the mistress that Mr. King brought back.”“Why does she look so familiar? Her eyes... They look like Luna's.”“It's impossible. There has never been such a stunning woman in this household. I suspect that Luna must have embarrassed Mr. King at the party and was subsequently expelled from the King family. Then, Mr. King must have taken a liking to this woman at the same event and brought her back.” As the two of them continued their animated conversation, their excitement grew.Unexpectedly, Luna found their speculation rather amusing. She turned around, standing before the pair with a smile on her face.“You mentioned that I looked somewhat familiar. Well, you're right. I am familiar to you. Because I am Luna. Today is the first time I am revealing my true face.Remember it well. Tomorrow morning, don’t mistake me for another woman associated with Mr.

Now, knowing that the woman she dismissed as grotesque was instead radiant, she couldn’t shake the bitter loathing swelling within her.She abhorred the very sensation of it.“Rest assured, your uncle won't lay a scalpel on that crone. Both the pretender and the old one should meet their ends. To think they could live happily, it’s a delusion,”Gianna voiced, her fists balling with determination.With the new day barely broken, Luna found herself at the hospital.Her grandmother, within the sterile confines of the ward, lay with her face pinched with discomfort as she attempted to sleep. “Who are you?” Teresa, in the midst of her breakfast, took in Luna’s entrance and faltered. She lowered her meal and rose. Luna, with a calming motion of her hand, beckoned Teresa to sit.“Teresa, it’s me, Luna.”Stunned, Teresa stammered out a question.“Are you really Luna? Goodness, you're a beauty. I had heard...” Teresa halted, her face turning into blush, but Luna intuitively understood.She gif

“What are you implying?”“It's easy for you to understand that.” With these words, Luna rose abruptly, her rapid departure leaving only a cool, dispassionate silhouette.She was well aware that the King family had provided the Millers with a generous gift for Luna's union with Preston, followed by a substantial investment into the family business one month post-wedding.“Hold on! That money was funneled into the business to offset our deficits. You'd better not meddle with those funds.” Gianna’s shrill admonition echoed behind Luna, her refusal to relinquish a single penny palpable.Emerging from the establishment, Luna maintained a brisk pace, her rapid strides a physical outlet for her simmering rage. The thought of Joel performing Grandma’s surgery seemed like a far-fetched dream.After an hour of relentless walking, Luna paused by the road to catch her breath.Across the road loomed a grand restaurant.A black luxury car cruised into the restaurant's parking lot, and a figure prom

Despite Luna’s amiable and attractive countenance, the guard maintained a stern expression for the sake of professionalism. “Why can’t you eat while working? Isn’t that a bit rigid?”“I'm not being rigid. You need to understand, the clientele frequenting this restaurant are from highly affluent families. If I inadvertently permit someone with ill intentions to overhear sensitive discussions, the consequences would be far beyond what I could handle.”As the guard voiced these concerns, his gaze remained on Luna, subtly hinting that she was the potential threat. “In that case, having a membership should grant me entry, correct? Take me to register for a membership.”Challenged by the security guard’s assumption of her financial status, Luna rummaged in her purse, pulling out a gleaming gold card. She was determined to gain entry and discover the allure of this mysterious establishment.Caught off guard, the security guard was momentarily frozen, utterly taken aback that Luna, who appear

“Leon, I'll wait for you outside,” she blurted out.As Luna rushed out of the men’s restroom, she was met with the astonished gaze of the man who had just exited the stall, leaving her feeling mortified.She felt her face burning with embarrassment, desperately wishing she could disappear from the scene.The moment Leon emerged from the restroom, he noticed Luna standing there, her hand covering her flushed face, unwilling to move an inch. He couldn't help but think she was a stubborn woman.“You're the most shameless woman I’ve ever encountered,” Leon coldly remarked.Despite his icy tone, Luna slowly removed her hand. Though she was still blushing, she brazenly replied, “Shameless? You can’t possibly say that about me! You're exaggerating.”With those words, Luna retrieved a few papers from her bag and handed them over to Leon. They were her grandmother's medical records.“Leon, please take a look at these,” she implored. “Whose medical records are these?” Leon glanced briefly at th

This establishment served as a gathering place for individuals from varied backgrounds, encompassing both honor and deceit. Influential figures frequented this venue, rendering Luna, an innocent and naive soul, susceptible to exploitation or harm from the cunning inhabitants.The women who frequented this establishment all shared a common motive—to seek prosperous companions. Consequently, Luna’s presence perplexed Preston.Did she also harbor intentions of securing a benefactor?What was more, while the relentless pursuers drew nearer, Preston experienced an inexplicable longing and an overpowering urge to safeguard Luna with his entire being. He ached to envelop her in the depths of his existence, shielding her from any lurking peril.Here he stood, once again displaying his fierce nature toward her! Anger growing, Luna swiftly seized Preston’s hand from her waist, determined to get straight to the point.“Who are those individuals, and why are they relentlessly pursuing you?”“You

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
