CHAPTER 8

The hideous-looking woman probably had no idea that Celeste favored Rhea and that she had some kind of influence in the King family.

When Luna walked into the living room, Rhea beamed and waved at her. “Miss Miller, you’re awake. Come and have a seat.” Miss Miller?

Luna, who was on her way to the garden, stopped in her tracks, intrigued at the way the woman addressed her. She stared at Rhea, whose smile did not quite reach her eyes.

“sure. I'd love to chat with you, Miss Evans,” Luna replied.

Luna made her way toward the centre of the living room, but there were no available seats near Rhea. She had to walk in front of the other woman to get to the other sofa.

Rhea made a go-ahead gesture with her hand and said, “Go on, Miss Miller. Walk in front of me. I'll make way for you.” Without suspecting anything, Luna replied, “Thank you.”

She was walking past Rhea when something appeared before her feet, sending her stumbling and causing her knee to collide with the edge of the coffee table.
