The sound of Gwen’s slap rang across the banquet hall.
Luna covered her face in shock, turning to look at her.
Gwen crossed her arms across her chest and snorted coldly, “Who knew you still dared come here! “
She glared at Luna viciously, her eyes full of haughty derision. “In Banyan City, you dared seduce
another woman’s husband, ruining her marriage until she’s getting a divorce, and now you dare come
flaunting your claws in Sea City! “
Gwen’s voice was loud and boisterous, attracting the attention of everyone around them. They crowded
around them instinctively.
As the crowd expanded, Gwen grew more aggressive. “And yet you dare come here? Do you know Alice
is from Sea City, the people of Sea City are supporting her! “
Even though Joshua was a family name in Banyan City, in Sea City, not many people knew him.
Most people had missed the news, but hearing Gwen’s words, the crowd erupted into a sea of
discussion.
“She’s so beautiful, who could guess she’s just a mistress…“
“And she even ruined their marriage, the wife is getting a divorce…“
“She deserves to be slapped! “
The murmurs of the surrounding crowd made Luna frown.
Even though she and Gwen were desk-mates in high school, they lost touch once Luna moved to
Banyan City to attend university.
Why did Gwen suddenly care about her old friend whom she had not contacted in more than ten years?
Seeing Luna press her palm to her cheek and remain silent, Gwen grew even more aggressive.
She raised her hand and tried to slap her again.
In mid-air, her wrist was restrained by someone. It was not anyone else, but the target of her slap,
Luna herself.
Luna held onto her wrist tightly, her voice cold and distant. “Ms. Larson, mind your words. Did you forget
how you got into a fight with the kids in the other class because you mindlessly believed some baseless
rumors?“
For a second, Gwen was dazed.
In high school, she did get into a fight with students from another class because of a baseless rumor.
But… how did the woman in front of her know this?
Seeing her hesitation, Luna flicked her wrist away, and lifted her lips in a faint smile. “You should know
never to judge before finding out the whole truth. I trust you understand this, Ms. Larson?“
The woman’s eyes were sharp, her voice cold and proud.
Gwen was so shocked; she was at a loss for words.
A long while later, she blushed and tried defending herself. “You’re right, I don’t know what happened in
Banyan City. But the invitation for the banquet tonight was addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Lynch, who do you
think you are, coming here like this?“
Gwen’s words caused a ruckus amongst the crowd again.
Everyone started whispering in discussion. Since the Walters invited Mr. and Mrs. Lynch… Why was this
woman here?
“You’re so shameless after all, coming here thinking that you’re Mrs. Lynch. Is there a problem with me
slapping you and chasing you away?“
Looking at Gwen’s arrogant expression, Luna raised her lips in an indifferent smile.
She produced an invitation. “Ms. Larson, maybe you didn’t know, I ‘m a designer working for the Lynch
Group. I attended the banquet for business purposes, and yet I have to endure your abuse and snide
remarks?“
“That’s impossible! “
Gwen scoffed coldly, dragged Luna behind her and strode toward the notice board at the entrance of the
banquet hall.
She pointed to the notice board. “Look!
Only Mr. and Mrs. Lynch are invited! Your name is not on the board! How shameless can you be!”
Luna glanced at her side-eyed. It was true.
Only Mr. and Mrs. Lynch were on the list, her own name was nowhere to be seen.
The woman’s expression shifted subtly.
If she remembered correctly, the list was finalized by Hailey.
During lunch, Hailey intentionally asked for her name, saying she wanted to include it in the guestlist.
But now…
“You have nothing to say, do you?! “
Gwen looked at her arrogantly and sneered, “You’re nothing but a mistress who wants to take the wife’s
place! “
