“Wait, that doesn’t make sense. I thought Ethan and his friends were all chummy with Luna? What, did they suddenly have an epiphany and realize our Oriana is the good one here?”

At the mention of this, Lily’s expression shifted. “I haven’t had the chance to tell you yet, but my brother and the others have been acting… kind of strange.”

“Strange?”

“Mhmm.” Lily explained vaguely, “In previous years, the five of them would always make a separate trip back to their hometown and visit their benefactor’s old place. This year, they

didn’t go.

“And also, it seems like they had a falling out with Kai. On New Year’s Eve, there were only four of them. Kai wasn’t there.”

Zara immediately latched onto the key point. “Hold up, four? So Kai wasn’t there, and Luna wasn’t there either? They had some internal drama?”

“It seems there was some argument. It was about…” Lily paused, her gaze turning towards Oriana.

Oriana raised a brow in surprise. “It’s because of me.”

Lily looked a bit awkward. “Actually, I’ve been unsure whether I should mention this…”

“Pfft, we’re all friends here! What couldn’t you say? Spill it!” Zara, ever the instigator, fanned the flames enthusiastically.

Seeing Oriana’s nod of encouragement, Lily took a deep breath.

“Right before the New Year, Luna invited them out for a meal as a ‘thank you.’ During the dinner, she apparently made some requests. I think because of everything that’s happened, they’ve started seeing Luna in a different light. They’re not unconditionally obeying her like they used to. So… they refused.”

Hearing this, Oriana couldn’t help but frown, a serious look crossing her lovely features.

From what Lily was saying, had Luna been leveraging Niall’s name to gain significant favors from Leo and the others?

Pursing her lips, Oriana–who usually never pried into others‘ affairs–asked bluntly for the first time, “What did Luna ask your brother and his friends for?”

Lily was taken aback. Even Zara exclaimed, “Oho, Oriana wants in on the gossip too?”

When Oriana didn’t respond, Lily thought for a moment and answered truthfully. “Well, it wasn’t so much her asking for things. More like Ethan and the others gave her stuff, and she accepted.

“You know Ethan is an associate manager; he has some privileges. He gave Luna a VIP Gold Card for the store, with an annual limit of 200,000, charged to his account. But it hadn’t even been half a year, and she maxed it out…”

Zara tsked with a scornful laugh. “Isn’t the Sterling family rich? Why spend other people’s money?”

Lily took a sip of her drink and continued, “Leo is her senior in the lab, right? He probably helps her out a lot normally. Seems like he’s also putting in significant work on her thesis draft this time.”

Zara’s eyes flashed with anger. “Are you kidding me? That’s so unfair!”

“But they’re lab mates. Giving each other feedback and such is normal; we can’t really say anything about it,” Lily said, shaking her head weakly.

“Arthur gave Luna a lot of privileges at his restaurant. Even her boyfriend’s studio events are all held at Pendragon’s. And Oscar, as you know, he only joined her boyfriend’s team because of his connection to Luna. As for Kai…

“He was out of town before and only recently started interacting with Luna. So right now, he’s treating her super well, just like my brother and the others did at the very beginning. The argument at that pre–New Year dinner seemed to be because Kai was unhappy that my brother and the others weren’t treating Luna well enough anymore.”

Hearing this, Zara found it utterly ridiculous, letting out a cold, sarcastic laugh. “What exactly has Luna done to deserve this? Not only does she have simps, she has five of them! And the key point is, they take turns fawning over her!”

Lily looked at her with wide, pleading eyes. “Zara, I’m still here…”

“It’s fine! Your brother is a recovering simp who’s seen the light halfway. He’s different now!”

Lily looked like she wanted to cry. “Thanks for… rehabilitating my brother’s image.”

After saying all this, Lily transferred the gift money to Oriana.

Oriana looked at the payment notification, tapped her screen a couple of times, and

transferred the amount back to Lily.

“Oriana, what are you…”
