The Wolf King?!
The Wolf King gave Luna the wild king ginseng?
Luna’s words shocked everyone.
The Wolf King! Who would keep calm in front of him?
No one!
However, the Conerys were baffled by why the Wolf King would have given her the wild king ginseng.
It did not make sense. Not a bit!
It was ridiculous and outrageous!
Therefore, everyone refused to believe her.
“Luna…” Alec grunted with displeasure. “You said the Wolf King gave you the wild king ginseng? So, you met him in person?”
“Yeah! Come on, tell us!”
“Tell us what he looks like. Renault will be meeting him in the afternoon!”
The questions put Luna in a difficult position. She had no idea what the Wolf King looked like. She looked down. “I don’t know…”
“You don’t know?!” Alec laughed out loud. “You don’t know, yet you said the Wolf King gave it to you? Who would believe you?”
Luna argued, “It is from the Wolf King! He told the owner of the auction to give this to me!”
Tsk!
Alec continued contemptuously, “Are you trying to trick a child with that?”
No matter what Luna said, Alec refused to believe her.
Then, the others in the family started to mock her.
“Luna, please think before you brag!”
“Yeah. You try to look good in front of Madam Montecarlo but your lies are so cheap and fragile!”
“If you are not capable, just admit it. Why pretend to be someone you are not?”
They were harsh with their words and neither one of them held back.
Luna was embarrassed
Stella then stepped forward and smiled at Renault sweetly. She said, “Luna, I know you are jealous of me meeting Renault I know Renault is a thousand times better than your Andrius. I know it hurts for you, but you can just come at me. You don’t need to fool Grandmother.”
She then widened her wicked grin and continued, “You said the Wolf King gave it to you, right? Then, why don’t you bring him back here next time? If you can bring him back here, I’ll wash your legs.”
Her taunt at Luna made everyone laugh.
Rainbow could not hold back her laughter as well, but she was not laughing at Luna but at Stella.
In her eyes, Stella was a clown because Luna was indeed with the Wolf King.
After the merciless laughter, Jane looked at Luna and said coldly, “Enough. Luna, I know the Crestfalls aren’t that wealthy and I won’t blame you for not presenting something fitting, but…”
She grabbed the wild king ginseng and tossed it on the ground. Her expression grew colder as she explained, “Do not bring something this fake here next time. I am not that old and stupid, and you shouldn’t be as well!”
Luna drowned in her grievance. She was deceived by the ginseng seller at first, and Andrius was arrested by the local police just because she wanted to get proper ginseng for her grandmother.
Then, she also offended that man at the auction.
She went through a lot to get the wild king ginseng, yet it ended up on the ground, trampled.
Luna’s eyes were wet but she held her tears back.
Bang!
A loud bang came from outside.
Then, a large group of people marched into the front yard. The leader was a vicious–looking man with a wicked grin.
It was Stephen Hoffman with his men!
A few of his men were holding square objects wrapped and tied with red cloth.
Stephen looked at Jane in the center. “Are you Jane Montecarlo? Today is your 70th birthday, am I right?”
Jane thought the man was there to celebrate her birthday. She said, “I am. And you are…”
“That’s enough.” Stephen grinned wider, giving a creepy feeling. He clapped his hands. “The presents!”
Presents?
The Conerys had no idea what happened, but they heard the word ‘presents‘, which somehow made them relax. They simply assumed the men heard about the event somewhere and decided to flatter Jane with gifts.
Bang!
At the next second, Stephen’s men untied the square boxes.
They were coffins!
Everyone in the family, including Jane, was looking forward to the revelation, but when the presents were revealed, they were shocked and afraid.
