Chapter 133
Some girls were moved to tears and wished they were Yuna.Yuna smiled.She looked at Luke kneeling on one knee with his hand on his chest. She teased him with a playful expression, “Who gave you the confidence, Luke? In what aspect do you think you’re worthy of me?”“Capability? As far as I know, the Bertrands have some money, but you’re just a spoiled rich kid who inherited the wealth. Even with the connections the Bertrands have, you haven’t made a name for yourself.“Family business? The Bertrands’ assets are not even comparable to a branch of the Lawsons.“So, who gave you the courage? Who gave you the confidence?”Yuna’s voice echoed. Luke was dumbfounded by her reply.‘This isn’t how this is supposed to play out.‘Didn’t you invite my whole class and me to the birthday party because you like me?‘You even waited for me at the entrance.‘W-why are you rejecting me?’ thought Luke.Luke was stunned and continued kneeling on the floor in a daze after being rejected and b

Luke confessed to Yuna but was refused decisively, belittled as nothing.Additionally, she even said that she liked James.Her words came as a surprise to everyone.All eyes were on James.In a high-class event, he dressed very ordinarily in simple clothing and was out of place with those around him.All the women who attended the birthday party were in glamorous dresses.Meanwhile, all the men were in colored suits and ties.Yet, James…He wore a simple black t-shirt and was absorbed in his game, Plants vs. Zombies.Suddenly, a large number of zombies poured into his garden and devoured his pea weapon.“Argh…“I lost!” James suddenly exclaimed with disappointment.Everyone’s eyes were fixed on him, and his shouts stunned the crowd.Sensing people's gazes, James raised his head and was taken aback when he saw hundreds of people staring at him.He scratched his head and was puzzled by the situation.Raising his phone, he checked whether something was on his face.“I don’

Not only was Thea not jealous but she was also delighted.This woman was the executive chairman of Longevity Pharmaceuticals, Yuna.Even if James was just an excuse to reject Luke, it was still an honor for James. Plus, James was her husband, so she felt proud. Meanwhile, James was led to the dance floor by Yuna.Music began to play.Yuna stretched out her slender hands. One was placed on James' shoulder, and the other wrapped around his waist. Her whole body was almost leaning right into him.On the other hand, James was stiff all over.He was slightly nervous at that moment.Yuna was beautiful, and her facial features were astonishing. She had fair skin and a pleasant scent on her. His heart thumped rapidly as she leaned her whole body into him.Even in the face of thousands of enemy troops, he had never been so nervous. Now, in front of a woman, he was actually…Yuna leaned her head on James' shoulder, embraced him, and almost completely put her weight on him.Her bo

“W-what’s going on?”“Did Yuna invite Lex?”“That’s impossible. Lex humiliated himself outside the military region and even got thrown out by the general. He must’ve been so embarrassed, but why did Yuna invite him?”“Could it be that he came uninvited?”…The crowd began to discuss Lex’s appearance.Everyone at the party consciously stepped away, not wanting anything to do with Lex.Tommy was complacent and said with a proud expression, “Grandpa, look at them. You’re so famous in Cansington that these people are backing down to show respect to you.”Hearing Tommy’s flattery, Lex was on cloud nine and wore an undisguised pride on his face.He spotted Yuna and approached with his cane. With a smile on his face, he said, “Ms. Lawson, I’m honored that you personally invited me to your birthday party.”Yuna frowned.She nodded lightly and showed slight acknowledgment since Lex was the grandfather of James’ wife, Thea.“Happy birthday, Ms. Lawson. I got you a pair of jade bracel

However, the more they denied it, the wilder the rumors that spread.Lex noticed the countless eyes watching them and felt embarrassed because even he thought Thea was sleeping with Alex.Despite Thea being the reason the Celestial Group agreed to cooperate with the Callahans, Lex cared more about his name.“You—you have no shame!” Lex’s face darkened.“Grandpa, i-it’s not like that!” “Then, explain where you got the money to buy the outfit if it wasn’t because you slept with Alex?” Tommy stood up and shouted.“I-I…” Thea felt so wronged and was on the verge of tears.She never slept with Alex.However, she did not know how to explain the situation.The money came from James, but she did not know where he got it from, and if she told them, there might be grave consequences. It was possible that James would have to go to jail. James, concentrating on his game in the corner, heard the commotion. He stood up and realized it was the Callahans. He hurriedly walked over, saw te

Everyone at the birthday party turned their heads to the entrance.Three people walked inside the hall.One was Alex, the chairman of Celestial Group.Another was Bryan, the owner of the Gourmand.The last older man was Jay, the president of the Doctors’ Association who had the title of genius doctor in Cansington.These three ranked at the top of the social pyramid in Cansington.Alex was the backbone of the Yates in the Capital. He could easily make the Great Four bankrupt with one word.Bryan was a very low-profile person but had great influence. On the other hand, Jay was one of the most prominent figures.Cansington was the capital of medicine, and he was a genius doctor.In this world, the richer one was, the more afraid of death they were.The collective influence of the people present may not necessarily even reach Jay’s level.The three approached and became the center of attention.“Who was spouting such nonsense?”“Who bad-mouthed Thea?”“Which one of you dar

“Thea is my best friend! Are you all disrespecting me by insulting her at my birthday party? There are surveillance cameras here, and I can easily check the footage to see who insulted her! This is your last chance to ask for forgiveness!” Yuna approached Thea and glared at everyone while threatening them.Those who spoke out before were terrified.Thump!Suddenly, one person from the crowd could not bear the pressure of several bigwigs and immediately knelt with his head on the floor.The person was a corporation chairman with hundreds of millions of net worth.He was a big shot outside.However, at this moment, he was kneeling on the ground like a lowly servant.Thea was taken aback by the scene.James and Yuna both held onto one of her hands.She glanced left and right.First looking at Yuna, then at James.Her beautiful face was filled with confusion.‘Is it that ghost-masked man again?’After the first person knelt, another person followed shortly.Alex, Bryan, and Y

Thea would never have the courage to ask Lex to kneel. After all, he was her grandfather.“Get up, Tommy.“Y-you too, Megan.” She immediately helped Tommy and Megan up from the floor. The two finally stood up.However, the others did not dare to get up.“Ms. Thea, how would you like to punish them?” Alex asked as he glanced at Thea.“Me?” Thea panicked again.She had never been in such a situation before.These people kneeling to her were all prominent figures with many more assets than the Callahans.“How about we get them to slap themselves a few times? After all, it’s Ms. Lawson’s birthday today, and it won’t be appropriate to see blood,” asked Alex.Alex glanced at Thea and secretly peeped at James.James wore a harmless expression.“Honey, what do I do?” Thea was clueless and looked at James for his opinion.James shrugged and suggested, “How would I know? However, these people were disrespectful and rude. I’ve despised them for a while. How about we let them slap
