The Heartbroken Luna's Choice Banish Love novel Chapter 362

Third Person's POV

Trista stood in the middle of the crowd, her expression a complete blank. Her cool gaze didn't betray a single flicker of emotion.

The guests began to whisper among themselves.

"Alpha Cassian is going public with this woman right after the divorce? I guess the rumors were true."

"I can't believe she has the nerve to show her face here. It's trashy."

"Inviting the ex-Luna to watch? She has zero class."

"Look at her energy—she doesn't hold a candle to Dr. Holmes. I'll never understand Cassian's taste."

Samantha's mother, Georgia, heard the chatter and started barking like a stray protecting a bone. "What do you people know? Samantha was Alpha Cassian's first love!"

Angela chimed in, "Exactly! Samantha has a high-end education. Her class is on a whole different level."

The crowd went silent. No one wanted to get into a mud-slinging match with low-tier losers like them.

Madison, sensing the tension, tried to smooth things over. "Alpha Cassian, since you prepared such a special gift, won't you let us all have a look?"

The crowd started egging him on.

Samantha noticed Cassian hadn't moved a muscle. He was still standing there, stone-faced.

Her heart started to throb with a nervous beat. She shot one more glare at Trista before turning to Cassian with a coy, sugary tone. "Cassian, you said you had that 'gift I'll never forget' ready. Since everyone is so curious, why don't you show it to us?"

Fred's mouth twitched into a grin. "Come on, Cassian. Miss Fernandez can't wait anymore. Stop keeping us in suspense and show us the big surprise."

Isaiah's dark brown eyes were scanning the room like radar. He grabbed Trista's arm and whispered, "Is it just me, or does the Alpha look like he's planning a murder right now?"

Trista patted his hand. "Just watch. And shut up."

Isaiah nodded and zipped his lips.

Just then, Humphrey moved through the crowd like a shadow, stopping silently at Cassian's side.

Their eyes met for a split second. Humphrey gave a tiny nod before retreating back into the darkness.

Cassian held up a sleek, pen-shaped device. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed it onto the long table—right past the blood-red champagne and the high-tier energy cakes.

"Everything I've prepared for you is locked inside that."
