Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Alexander extended his elegant hand towards the young woman on the stage as everyone stared, saying, “Ms. Brooke, the party has ended, right? If it’s done, let’s go!”
Luna’s sight quickly swept through Julian, Eve, and Clarence. She then held onto Alexander’s hand and walked down the steps, saying “Alright!”
Without turning back, she could sense the anger and resentment from Eve and Clarence behind her.
However, with Alexander being here, they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut. They didn’t even have the bravery to call out to her.
Alexander held that slightly cold hand which was rather soft.
‘Are all women’s hands this soft? Or only this young woman’s?’
The assistant stared at this moment in great astonishment.
He was wondering if this was truly that president of his that was serious all the time and stayed away from women?
How did it end up with him giving himself up at a party?
And why was that smile of his so earnest and gentle?
Something must be wrong with his mind! There had to be!
A limo stopped in front of the hall, and Alexander extended his hand and opened the car door for her. Luna was somewhat surprised and gave him a glance, saying, “Thanks!”
Luna had just closed the car door from her side, a man had already appeared next to him.
He turned around, and looked into that pair of dark eyes, asking, “President White, where are we going now? Should we go get our certificate now?”
“Certificate? Heh…” Alexander smiled as if he had heard a very funny joke. He then said, “The White family will not allow a woman with mental illness to marry into the family.”
Luna simply showed him a soft smile when she heard Alexander’s words. She said, “Do you really think that I’m mentally unstable?”
If he were just as easily deceived as everyone, he wouldn’t take her away from the hall where they were having the party.
“I can’t tell. I’m not a doctor,” Alexander’s expression was calm as he stared in front of him. “To guarantee our future, I believe that you should prove it first, Ms. Brooke.”
Luna understood what he was referring to and said, “Don’t worry, President White. I’ll take care of the rumors as soon as possible.”
She would not let any of those that had hurt her get away!
Her voice was very firm, and Alexander couldn’t help but turn around and glanced at Luna, “I’ve helped you today. How are you going to repay me?”
Luna was slightly stunned and asked, “What kind of repayment do you want? I can help you get anything you want.”
She had been an assassin for a very long time. Other than the accident with the cruise ship last time, nothing in this world was too difficult for her.
Alexander scanned the young woman in front of her. She was much more interesting than in the past. He said, “You sure? Anything?”
“Of course,” Luna nodded as she slowly said with her bright, red lips, “Not to mention that we’re together now. Your wish is naturally mine as well.”
“I hope so,” Alexander turned his head away. While his voice was light, it also carried assertiveness within it. “I will not allow anyone to betray me. And I will not allow myself to be used as a tool!”
There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Luna knew it very well. She said, “Don’t worry, President White. I won’t go back on my word!”
Whether Alexander acknowledged it or not, they were both in the same boat already.
It was natural that she had to pay some price to secure an ally like himself.
After a while, Luna could only squeak in astonishment as she looked at the mansion before her.
They should not call it a mansion. It was a castle!
“Go and clean a room for my wife,” Alexander said in a cold expression as before to all the servants that could only stare in disbelief. “Also, where’s the key to the Maserati?”
“Over here,” the butler gave the key to Alexander respectfully.
“Use this car from now on! If you don’t like the color, take this card and buy another that you like!” With that, Alexander took out a card and put it in her hand.
Luna looked at the key and the black card in her hand and fell into deep thought. That must be the power of money.
The two of them entered the mansion and the butler guided her as she chose a room that she liked. When she went downstairs, she then noticed that Alexander was already gone.
Only after asking Mrs. Niles the maid did she know that Alexander had gone back to the company because something came up. He would only be back much later.
It was fine, however. She herself needed some time to quiet down and think her revenge through!
Luna sat down on the sofa and looked at all the headings. She couldn’t help but be astonished at the paparazzi’s speed.
‘The video of the second daughter of the Brookes and her sister-in-law was uncovered, the eldest daughter of the Brookes broke off her engagement publicly!’
‘Shocking! The eldest daughter of the Brooke family publicly asked for President White’s hand in marriage!’
“Mrs. Brooke tortured her stepdaughter from Mr. Brooke’s first marriage, the chairman fainted on the spot!’
Looking at the headings and the comments down below, Luna could only feel content in her heart.
‘I heard that the current wife of the head of the Brooke family was formerly a mistress. Heh. No wonder her daughter would seduce her own brother-in-law!’
‘Oh damn. Look at those injuries. No wonder the eldest would always cover up when she appeared at any parties. What a shame. Look at that bod of hers!’
‘Madam Brooke looks so gentle. So, it was all an act?! How disgusting!’
…
‘Ah! President White is so handsome! Why would he marry a crazy woman?”
‘If a crazy woman can do it, I can do it too!’
‘Didn’t they say that the president didn’t like women at all? Why would she suddenly… Oh my god! Please, no!’
…
President Alexander White’s office.
Alexander casually tossed his mobile onto his desk as he asked Edwin Sylvan who was sitting on a chair with his arms crossed, “So? Is that why you’re here?”
Edwin was slightly taken aback and asked in shock, “You don’t care? Now everyone says that you’re crazy too. Why would you choose someone with mental problems as a fiancée?!”
Alexander said, “Correction. She’s not my fiancée.”
Edwin sighed in relief and said, “Right, I knew you wouldn’t be so stupid…”
“She’s my wife!” Alexander said. “As soon as I’m done with my work we’re going to sign the papers.”
“Pfft!” Edwin coughed out the mouthful of tea that he had just drunk. “What- What did you say?”
Was this person the Alexander White he knew? Or was he hallucinating?
“Help me investigate the Oak family, Flora Springfield, and that pair of children of hers,” Alexander said as he avoided his question. “Also, send someone to protect Luna. From now on, she’s your sister-in-law.”
Edwin could only stare at Alexander before he could even wipe the tea off his shirt and asked, “You’re serious? How did that girl captivate you?”
“She’s a very interesting woman.”
That shy girl seemed to have grown up instantly. She was no longer timid and fearful.
Especially those eyes.
Since they had entered his heart, then they would stay there forever!
