Once Alexander got home, he saw Luna seated lazily in a white T-shirt as she watched television.
Her long hair was down and she was no longer as aggressive earlier. Instead, she looked like a girl next door—innocent and harmless.
However, when she turned around and looked at him, her face became extremely seductive. She said, “Oh, you’re back? I need to go home. You should accompany me as I’m a bit afraid!”
‘Afraid?’ Alexander glanced at her suspiciously. He had never seen anyone bolder than her. He asked, “What do I get if I accompany you?”
Luna asked with a smile, “What do you want?”
Her eyes were sparkling, and her lips were red even without any makeup. The way she smiled made her look like a rose with dews on its petals.
Alexander could feel his heart skip a bit as he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips.
“…”
Luna’s eyes opened widely in an instant. This was the first person that had ever taken advantage of her, and she didn’t break his leg. She said, “You thug!”
Alexander smacked his lips, but there was no mistake that he was smiling as he asked, “What? You’re asking me to be your shield, but you’re not even willing to let me have a kiss?”
No one from the Brooke family was easy to deal with. Since Luna had lost everything, only he could help her now.
How could her little plan escape his eyes? That being said, her lips were quite soft. He would need to find a chance to do it properly…
Luna merely curled her lips in frustration as she switched off the television and changed her clothes.
The things that the original’s mother had left for her were still in the Brooke residence, and there were some other problems that she needed to deal with.
Fine. It was just a kiss. It was nothing!
When they reached the Brooke residence in their car, Alexander’s phone suddenly rang, “Hello? Did you find anything?”
Luna stepped out of the car first in understanding. When she was walking towards the door, she could still feel the pain in her chest.
Home was supposed to be one’s shelter. However, her home was a warzone.
“You’re finally back? You have completely ruined the Brooke family’s reputation, you wh*re!” As soon as she stepped into the mansion, she could hear a sharp voice from above her.
She would never forget that voice, not even if she was asleep.
Luna raised her head while Eve Brooke looked down at her. The anger in her eyes was so pronounced that she would already be dead if looks could kill.
Luna narrowed her eyes and merely said, “A mistress claiming that I, the rightful fiancée, am ruining reputations? Was this what Flora taught you? As I thought. Like mother, like daughter!”
Eve was already feeling quite upset about what had happened during the party. And now, she was being ridiculed by a person that would usually grovel before her. Her rage overtook her and she ran down the stairs and stood in front of Luna, and she said, “Don’t think that you can win anything just because you have Alexander White on your side. Why not look at yourself and see what you really are?! You’re just my little b*tch! In past, present, and future!”
But before she could even finish her speech, Eve’s face was already slapped twice.
It was so quick and decisive that she didn’t even manage to react to it.
“All I need to do is to call the police about you and Clarence trying to poison me, and even that will be enough to make you suffer! I heard that every time Clarence went to the lab to get the drugs, his fingerprint was recorded in the system! All I need is to call the police, make sure they check the records, and then use that as a reference and refer to the time that I was poisoned. Do you think that you can escape scot-free?”
Luna looked at the young woman in front of her coldly. The murderous intent in her eyes was so dense that Eve could only freeze in place as her face paled.
Murder was a very serious crime.
As long as the evidence was there, the Brookes and Oaks could do nothing no matter how influential they were!
“I didn’t realize that I was raising someone ungrateful!” A nonchalant voice rang from behind. Luna turned around and saw a woman that was no older than thirty was already behind her. “After your mother passed away, I treated you like my own daughter. I fed you, clothed you, sent you to the best school, but in the end, you framed my daughter? Luna, how can you be so cruel?”
She didn’t have to guess that the person in front of her was the then mistress and current wife, Flora Springfield.
“You raised someone ungrateful? What a joke!” Luna turned around and stared at her. “I didn’t eat one bite of your food, nor did I drink one drop of your water. All you have belongs to my father! Not to mention… You think that a mistress like yourself has the right to lecture me?”
It was because of this woman that the original’s mother cried and wailed.
And she dared to stand before her and say all of this without a tinge of shame? She must have so little dignity left!
Flora hadn’t expected Luna to retort. After a moment of silence, she said to her in fury, “I am still your elder regardless. Is this what your mother taught you when she was alive? Where is your education? I can see that you are just like your mother. A crazy woman. A b*tch!”
Her voice was not loud at all, but the words were like thorns stabbing into Luna’s heart. She felt like she wanted to slap Flora so hard that she would kiss the floor. She retaliated, saying, “No matter what, my mother never taught me to be a wh*re and destroy other families. All I can say is like mother, like daughter! It is your doing that Eve turned out like this!”
“Luna?” Julius, who was drawn to their argument, finally appeared. However, there was no concern in his eyes. His first reaction was to question her, “Where have you been? Why did you only come back now?”
Julius felt that he had been pretty accepting of his daughter despite her mental illness.
However, after hearing what Flora had to say made him think twice about that acceptance.
It was because of his tolerance and acceptance that Luna did something despicable like that!
This time, he made up his mind that he would not let her indulge in this!
“You’re finally here, husband,” Flora said and quickly walked over and held Julius’s arm as if she had found her protector. She then complained in a tone of being misunderstood, “Luna is really going overboard. She kept on yelling wh*res and b*tches. For so many years, I… Sigh!”
Julius patted Flora’s arm and then turned his eyes towards Luna. There were only threats in his eyes as he said, “Luna, apologize to your younger sister! Now!”
Luna smiled coldly. “You want me to apologize to them? Over my dead body!”
Was this truly her real father? He wanted her to apologize before asking anything?
“You are getting more and more outrageous!” Julius looked at Luna unhappily and then realized that she had already changed her clothes. “Where did you come back from? Don’t you know the Oaks wanted to withdraw their capital from our company and terminate all joint ventures with us from now on?”
Luna could feel pain in her heart. “So, you want to sacrifice my happiness for the Brooke family’s name? By forcing me to be with the man who wanted to kill me?”
“Why are you saying that? Didn’t Clarence treat you well for the past few years?” Julian said with a sad expression. “I have already told the Oaks. We will have another banquet three days later in the restaurant, and all you need to do is to say that you were sick and apologize to the Oaks. Everything will be over after that!”
By admitting that she was mentally ill, he was telling her to let others trample on her pride and spit on her dignity!
Luna originally still had some hope about this man. While he didn’t care much about the original, he did shower her with material wealth. But when she heard what he had to say, she was completely disappointed.
“Impossible!”
“Impossible!”
Two voices rang at the same time. Luna turned around with astonishment as Alexander was already walking into the mansion.
His tall figure in a white shirt had never been so menacing.
Despite Julius’s shock, Flora’s terror, and Eve’s desire, their eyes were all fixed on him.
Luna didn’t know why, but his presence here made her feel at ease.
The feeling was… quite odd, to say the least.
