Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 4

Vespera arrived at the Munoz residence at 11:40 am.

The butler, Walter Osland, was visibly startled to see her. He knew another guest was expected today but hadn't realized it would be Vespera. His forehead broke into a cold sweat at the thought of Luke and Tina in the living room. 

Very few people knew about Vespera and Luke's marriage. Aside from their parents, only a handful of close aides, including Osbert and Walter, were aware of the truth.

"This way." Walter had no choice but to follow Felicia's instructions. He braced himself as he led Vespera inside.

Before they reached the living room, a sweet, affectionate voice rang out. "I won again. Luke, were you letting me win on purpose?"

Vespera stopped in her tracks. Her mind suddenly went blank. Then, everything became crystal clear.

She couldn't help but let out a cold laugh before entering the living room.

Vespera had been shifting her books earlier, so she hadn't bothered with makeup today. She was dressed casually in a loose white shirt and jeans. Her long hair was gathered into a loose ponytail with a simple ribbon.

Yet, even in such an understated look, her skin remained fair, and her dark eyes were striking against the natural redness of her lips. A few stray strands of hair fell against her cheek, adding an unintentional touch of allure to her beauty.

Luke was taken aback to see Vespera. "Why are you—"

"Your mom called me over," Vespera interrupted coolly. She glared at Luke and continued, "Weren't you supposed to be in Holsword? When did you learn to teleport?"

Luke was at a loss for words as a flicker of guilt flashed across his eyes.

Tina rose from the couch and walked up to Vespera, extending a hand with a provocative smile.

"Hello, I'm Tina Sowle."

Vespera didn't spare her a glance, treating her as if she were nothing more than air.

Just then, Felicia entered the living room. She cast a brief look at Vespera before affectionately holding Tina's hand. "Did you have fun today? Make yourself at home."

Then, she introduced Vespera. "This is Ms. Vespera Gildon. She works at Eclipse Group. I asked her to come over for a discussion."

Everyone knew Vespera was Luke's wife. Yet Felicia deliberately reduced her to nothing more than a company employee, making it clear she had no intention of acknowledging her as family. This also told Tina that Vespera was insignificant and didn't threaten Luke and Tina's impending marriage.

Tina lifted her chin proudly. "Oh? She's just a company employee?"

Vespera didn't react to either of them. Instead, she turned her gaze to Luke and watched him in silence. She wanted to see how he would respond.

However, Luke merely sat there, his face as cold and indifferent as ever, making no effort to correct the insult.

Did he not understand what was happening? No. He understood perfectly. He just didn't care if she was humiliated.

Vespera turned to Felicia and said, "Mrs. Munoz, didn't you call me here for a discussion? Let's just speak here."

"We can discuss another day. Since you're already here, stay for lunch."
