When he remembered something, he summoned his assistant, Derek Yates, inside.“Has anyone from home called me?”Derek's brows knitted together. Why would they call him?“You didn’t receive any calls from home, sir,” Derek replied.Preston's eyes narrowed.“All right. You may leave,” he said dismissively.It seemed like Luna had not apologized yet. How she could endure hunger despite her frail frame, Preston had no idea.Wait a minute. A cruel woman like her would never starve herself, not if she could help it. Perhaps she had deceived the servants at home and had already stuffed her stomach.Preston took out his phone and dialed his home’s phone number. One of the servants answered the call. “Hello?” “Did you give food to that woman?”The servant's voice trembled as she replied, “No,The servant did not respond for a while, but after some hesitation, she suggested, “Madam, you should apologize to Sir Preston. We're not allowed to give you any food until he says so.”Luna’s expression

Luna nodded. “Okay, magnolia flowers. Got it. Anyway, I want to attend your grandmother's party. I'll design your gift for her if you find a way for me to attend it.”As soon as she was done talking, they heard the sound of a car’s engine approaching from the outside.Luna scowled, assuming Preston had come back. She had to return to the bedroom now. The man would definitely get mad if he found out that she had eaten without even uttering a single word of apology.“The scum is back. I’m going back to the room.” With that, Luna bolted to the stairs. For a few confused seconds, Bruce did nothing other than watch her disappearing figure. Luna was already on the second floor by the time Preston entered the house.With his car key swinging in his finger, Preston walked into the living room, then frowned when he saw Bruce. “What are you doing here?”Bruce leaned back on the sofa, feigning ignorance as he replied, “I’m here to meet your wife. Why didn’t you tell us you got married? Why would

When she woke up, she found that Preston didn’t return last night. She went downstairs only to find Derek, Preston’s assistant there.“Madam, I was sent to retrieve a document for Mr. King,” Derek said.Luna stared at Derek, carefully sizing him up before giving a go-ahead nod.After getting the document he was asked to get, Derek walked out of the study and was about to leave when Luna stopped him. “What happened last night? Where is he?” Luna asked when he turned back.Derek looked away for a moment, uncomfortable and hesitant. “I’m sorry, Madam, but I’m not at liberty to tell you anything that concerns Mr. King’s affairs. You should ask him directly.”Luna’s mind started stirring. Avery, who was an outsider, seemed to be quite welcomed and loved by the King family. Did something happen between them last night?Luna snorted inwardly. The position of the King family’s mistress was decidedly highly sought after.An embarrassed Derek observed Luna and read all her thoughts on her face.

Bruce pointed at a pile of stones and continued, “These stones represent Preston too. I can kick farther than you.”“You wish! I can kick farther than you.” At the satisfying sound of another stone plunging into the lake, Luna clapped her hands, her face beaming with joy.“Now it’s my turn.” “Hahaha! Hahahaha! I can kick farther than you...” At this point, Luna and Bruce had engaged in a playful contest of kicking stones, or versions of Preston, into the lake.While they had fun, Preston bristled with anger not far away. His body tensed up and his face darkened. It took all of his self-control to be able to stay in place.“Mr. King, is everything okay?”Derek asked him upon seeing the expression on Preston’s face. He stifled his laughter and tried to act as serious as he could. Luna was one of a kind. She was literally comparing Preston to a stone. Hilarious! Not only did she call it smelly and hard, but she went as far as kicking it and stepping hard on it.“Stop, we can stop now. I’

Gemma let out a gasp, her eyes fixed on the large display screen on the wall. She then grabbed Luna’s arm to get her attention and pointed at it.“This is bad! Look at that.”On the large screen, the headline was displayed in white font against a red background, and it was accompanied by photos of Luna’s ugly face and Preston’s handsome one. This arrangement made the news easy to read at a glance.Luna’s eyes grew wide, and the hair on the back of her neck stood up. How was this possible? Who leaked that information to the media? “I didn’t do this,” Luna muttered, still in shock.“Don't you dare deny it. You’re the one who'll benefit the most from this. Now, everyone knows I’m not crippled, and you’ve jumped to success just by marrying me,” Preston accused.Luna pursed her lips as she stared at her unsightly photo on the screen. Seconds later, she felt her blood boiling in indignation. Where Preston got the idea that she was responsible for this, she had no idea.She clenched her teet
