“Since you’re Theo’s mother, I won’t expose the recording out of respect. However, if I ever catch you
baselessly spreading fake rumors behind my back one more time, not only will I sue you for defamation,
but I’ll publish this recording and expose your true colors for the world to see.
“I want everyone to find out what a horrible person Theo’s mother and Mrs. Allen of Allen Group is.“
With that, Luna turned around and walked out of the bathroom.
Celeste glowered at her with hatred seething in her eyes.
She was the mother of a world-famous artist and the Allen Group’s CEO’s wife. How could she let
anyone treat her like that?
How could she let a b*tch like Luna threaten her? Celeste bit her lip and recalled what Alice had said to
her earlier.
“This woman hurt herself with a cutting knife. It was just a small injury, but she kept pretending and
coerced my husband into thinking it was a big deal. My husband values her as an employee very much,
so he took her to the hospital multiple times and even spent the entire night by her bedside… Little did
we know, this was just another one of her manipulation tactics…“
Celeste narrowed her eyes and fixated her gaze on Luna’s right shoulder.
Although Luna wore a jacket, Celeste could still make out a bulge on her right shoulder that looked
suspiciously like a thick layer of bandage.
She narrowed her eyes and lunged towards the hallway and in Luna’s direction—
“Hey lady, what are you doing?“ Before Celeste could grab onto Luna’s shoulder, however, someone’s
hand reached out and stopped her.
The hand belonged to Samson, one of the new assistants that Luna had hired this day.
He sneered and flung Celeste away. “Director Luna’s shoulder is injured. You better not touch her.
Otherwise, Lynch Group will make you pay for it. “
Luna did not even realize what Celeste attempted until Samson stopped her. She turned around and
smirked at Celeste. “Mrs. Allen, was I being too kind to you?“
Celeste glared at Luna, then at the man standing before her, who did not look a day over 18. She
sneered and remarked, “I didn’t know Luna even targeted teenagers.“
With that, she turned around and walked away.
Luna frowned, watching Celeste’s retreating figure. Then, after a moment, she turned around and
glanced at Samson. “What are you doing here?“
“Director Luna, you disappeared from our booth for such a long time that we got worried, so Irene and I
decided to check on you.“
Luna paused, then realized that there was another person standing behind Samson. It was another one
of the assistants that she had hired—a girl named Irene Cook.
Samson was a tall boy, so he towered over Irene and blocked her from Luna’s view. Plus, she had not
spoken a word since Luna came out of the bathroom, so naturally, Luna did not even notice her there.
Hearing her name, Irene, with her phone at hand, greeted Luna timidly, “Hi, Director Luna…“
“Hello.“ Luna sighed, turned around, and walked back toward their booth. “Come on, let’s go back now.“
“Okay,“ Samson chirruped in reply, then glanced at Irene and whispered in a low voice, “No matter what
you heard, don’t leak it out to the public, do you understand?“
Irene nodded meekly and followed him.
Meanwhile, Lynch Group’s company group chat was bubbling with messages.
(Is that true? Did Director Luna really sleep with the bodyguards?]
(She even slept with President Lynch’s assistant, Lucas?]
(I thought the rumors about her and President Lynch were fake! ]
(@newbie Irene, are you sure all of this is true?]
Irene held onto her phone tightly and typed a response, (It’s all true. Director Luna’s boyfriend’s
mother said it herself. I even have a recording and photos.)
