“No, Daddy. I’m truly clear–headed now. And in the future, I won’t have any deep ties with him… because…” A tear trailed down Luna’s cheek, her lips trembling. “Because the baby… the baby is gone.”
“What?”
Evelyn stared in disbelief. “The baby… is gone?”
Owen was also stunned. “When did that happen?
Luna gave a slight nod. “During the scandal that blew up online. I was too distraught… and I lost the baby.”
“Luna, my daughter!” Evelyn pulled Luna into a tight embrace, her heart aching as if torn apart. “No wonder you’ve become so thin in less than a month! You suffered so much all alone, and we didn’t even know!
“If I had only known, I would have stayed by your side no matter what! How helpless you must have felt during those dark days!” Evelyn wailed, wishing she could have borne the pain herself.
“Luna, it’s my fault. I failed to protect you… and the baby.” Owen trembled all over, his voice choked with anguish.
“Are you sure the baby is really gone? You’re not playing us for fools again, are you?” Bramwell narrowed his eyes.
“Bramwel! How can you say such a heartless thing at a time like this?!”
“There’s a reason for everything. Daddy has every right not to trust me. It’s Mommy. Please don’t blame him.”

“She knows exactly why I don’t trust her. How much credibility does she have left anyway?” Bramwell sneered. “Besides, if she really lost the baby, why would Grant keep her around? She’d be worthless to him now.”
“Grant doesn’t know.” Luna met his gaze directly. “And you’re right, Daddy. He’s only keeping me because of the baby.” Her voice turned bitter. “He said it himself. Once I give birth, he’l‘ divorce me.”
Bramwell let out a sharp, angry laugh. “Hear that? Do you hear that? She’s telling Grant the baby is still there, and telling us it’s gone! Truly saying one thing to one person, another to
the next!”

Luna’s eyes were finned red She took a deep leath and met Bramwell’s scrutinizing stare head–on. “What I tell Grant is a matter of strategy. But what I say to you, to Mommy, to Owen… that comes from the heart! If you don’t Believe me, we can go to any hospital or clinic right now for a diagnosis. If I’m lying, may I die a wretched death!”
This was the second vow Luna had sworn that day. Her words were firm, cach one weighted with conviction.
Secing Luna’s determined stance, the resentmen that had been simmering inside Bramwell for so long began to dissipate. He composed himself, settling into a single armchair. “Very well. In that case, tell us: what is this plan of yours–the one you claim can restore the Sterling family to its former glory?”
At this, Luna’s eyes grew solemn, then darkened
“Grant’s company is in a strong position right now. Without him, there might be some turbulence, but even if it can’t reach new heights, it can still make a massive profit from the Ohm robotics project.”
Evelyn immediately interjected, “Divorce! You gave up a child and ruined your health for him. You should get at least half of his marital assets!”
“I don’t want just half.” Luna’s voice grew firm. “And…” She paused, gathering herself.
She lifted her head, looking straight into the eyes of Bramwell, Evelyn, and Owen. The once pure gaze they remembered from years ago was now filled with a sea of hatred. “I won’t settle for divorce. Only widowhood.”
