Luna was completely disheartened and went berserk. She glared at Helena furiously like a livid wild cat, wanting to pounce on her and tear her into pieces...
“Forget it, Luna, let’s go home. It’s just not our lucky day today,” Amanda accepted the reality of the situation and tried to coax her daughter into leaving. “We will have plenty of opportunities in the future. We’ll be back again next time!”
“That’s right, Mrs. Sterling. Let’s head off first... “
Smack!
Before Owen could complete his sentence, a tight slap from Luna landed on his face.
Everyone was shocked, including the other bodyguards from the Sterling family.
Owen was Hector’s most trusted subordinate; the two men had grown up together. The man was considered half a Sterling. As such, not to mention the rest of the subordinates and servants in the Sterling family, even Hector and his parents had never reprimanded Owen before.
As such, it came as a shock that Luna had slapped him in front of everyone.
That was a huge taboo!
“Are you crazy?” Amanda widened her eyes, looking stunned beyond comprehension. “How can you lose your composure so easily over such a small matter... “
“Mom, stay out of it!” Luna bellowed and pointed at Owen. “If you didn’t pull me back, I wouldn’t have made a fool out of myself! You lowly bastard, I’ll definitely ask Hector to fire you!”
The man lowered his head and kept quiet, but a frosty glint had appeared in his chilling eyes...
“This child! You’ll be the death of... “
Amanda was shaking with exasperation and was about to scold Luna.
Just then, Helena walked over with that pink diamond ring, “Beloved.” Beaming brightly, she said provocatively, “What’s this? You’re taking out on a subordinate because you couldn’t afford it? Luna, if I were you, I would have already dug a hole and hid in it. Look at you; you’re such an embarrassment! I bet Hector left early the event because he couldn’t stand you.”
“Shut up!” Luna yelled through gritted teeth. “Helena Brown, you’re just an old hag no one wants to marry. I don’t understand how you can be so smug!”
“Well, I’m still better than you even though I’m single,” the other woman sneered. “Even though you had married Hector, so what? He doesn’t love you at all. His eyes were not even on you right from the start of tonight’s event. He only feels disgust and contempt for you. If my guesses are correct, he doesn’t even want to sleep with you... “
“You... “ Luna was trembling with rage and reached forward to give Helena a tight slap.
