At that time, they had also encountered a potential client who insisted that Luna drink. As her husband,
Joshua knew that Luna could not tolerate alcohol very well, so he got angry and wanted to leave the
party.
However, Luna was afraid that the Lynch Group would lose a client because of her, so she stood up and
downed the entire glass in that instant. Joshua could still remember the pained yet somehow determined
expression on his ex-wife’s face.
It looked exactly like the expression Luna wore.
Joshua frowned and immediately lowered his head to glance at Alice, who stood right next to him. She
watched Luna somewhat triumphantly, with a hint of contempt in her eyes.
Joshua felt like an invisible hand had squeezed his heart. What happened to the Luna Gibson he had
fallen in love with? Since when did she turn from the woman who willingly drank and suffered a whole
night of vomiting for him into someone who coerced others into drinking against their will?
Luna finished her drink and slammed the empty glass down on the table forcefully. “How’s that, Mr.
Scott?“
Mr. Scott stared at Luna’s face, which began to turn red, with a hint of amusement. Then, he let out a
chuckle. “Ms. Luna finished that drink, but there’s a catch. Since you made the situation so awkward just
now, don’t you think you should take another drink as punishment?”
Luna’s lips twisted into a smirk. ”Mr. Scott, I’ve told you that I’m very lightweight. If I end up doing
something stupid while I’m drunk, will you take responsibility for my actions?”
Mr. Scott was delighted to hear that. He guffawed and replied, ”Of course ! It’s my pleasure to take
responsibility for a beautiful lady such as yourself! “
”That’s great to hear.” Luna smiled and took the glass Mr. Scott offered her.
”Luna.” Joshua’s brows furrowed. He said in a lowered voice, ”You don’ t have to drink anymore.”
If Luna had not accepted that first drink, they would have gotten out. The only reason he had stayed
behind and agreed to continue working with Mr.
Scott was that he did not want Luna’s sacrifice to go to waste. She had already fulfilled her promise, so
why was she still drinking?
”It’s okay. Mr. Scott said that if anything happens, he’ll take responsibility.” Luna smirked and downed the
second glass.
Mr. Scott leered at Luna suggestively, his hand rubbing his chin. ”I’m very curious as to what a charming
lady like you would do when she’s drunk. ”
As she became tipsy, she stood up and slurred, ” Well, this is what a charming drunk lady does— ” She
staggered over to Alice and raised her hand.
The next instant, Luna’s palm collided against Alice’s face, producing a loud smack. The entire Apart
from a drunken Luna, everyone else in the room held their breath in fear of what would happen next.
Alice blinked a few times, seemingly trying to make sense of what had happened. Then, after a moment,
she leaped out of her seat with a murderous expression on her face. “Are you crazy, Luna?” She raised
her hand and was about to give Luna a slap when Luna seized her wrist.
Luna sneered at Alice, “Mrs. Lynch, this is what I’m like when I get drunk. Weren’t you the one who
insisted for me to drink?”
Mr. Scott’s eyes widened in shock. “You…”
Luna smirked and cast him a cold glance. “Mr. Scott, you promised me that no matter what I did, you’d
be responsible for my actions, ” she said in a simpering tone.
