Luna frowned and turned around instinctively.
Behind her, a middle -aged man stood, supporting himself with a cane, glaring at her with eyes full of
barely veiled contempt.
Beside him, Joshua stood, expressionless.
The middle-aged man was the one who spoke.
He held the authority in the Walter family, Hailey’s father, Dennis Walter.
Seeing Luna turn her back, Dennis snorted coldly, “In these so plus years of my life, this is the first time
someone has dared to dishonor the Walter family like this at a banquet organized by us! “
Luna raised her lips in a smile.
She lifted her eyes, meeting him fearlessly. “Mr. Walter, you merely witnessed how I disrespected your
family, then did you see how your family disrespected me?“
With that, she raised her hand and pointed at the guestlist Gwen used to humiliate her. “This afternoon
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMs. Walter personally asked me for my name, and gave me an invitation card. I came here as a
designer for the Lynch Group. And now? Not only i s my name not on the guestlist, but instead Mrs.
Lynch’s name appeared on the guestlist. I was accused of trying to take Mrs. Lynch’s place, but Ms.
Walter told me the guestlist can’t be edited any longer, and asked me to say. Requesting on purpose,
And then intentionally ignoring me, finally when I was attacked and questioned, brushing it off as a
simple mistake that can’t be changed. Is this the respect you mentioned?”
Her words shot at him like cannon-fire, every sentence strong and just.
The old Mr. Walter frowned and scoffed, “It’s just a wrong name, there’s no reason to cause such a
fuss! Don’t tell me you want us to apologize to you?”
“Uncle, don’t you think I deserve an apology?”
The moment her words left her mouth, Joshua, who was standing beside him, started laughing coldly.
He lifted his feet and walked toward Luna, cold eyes sweeping across the surrounding crowd. “The
more solemn the occasion, the more important it is to pay attention to detail. If today Ms. Walter came
to my house and was treated in this manner, can you remain as cool and calm as you are now, uncle?”
Dennis’ expression shifted subtly. “That’s because our Hailey is a woman of class and importance! This
Luna is no one!”
Luna frowned and was about to open her mouth when Joshua took the lead and stood in front of her.
“this business trip, as the director, I should demand justice for my employee, don’t you think so?”
He glanced at Dennis coldly. “Since Uncle Walter can openly say such words knowing full well that
she’s an employee of mine. I think there’s no need for us to continue working together.”
The man tugged Luna’s hand and turned. “Forget I came.“
With that, he raised his feet and left.
Her hand held in his, somehow, a flicker of warmth ignited in her chest.
Even though he had a million and one faults, at this moment, he was willing to defend her, willing to
stand on her side when everyone was against her.

Even if it was just an act, she felt grateful to him. Seeing as Joshua was really about to leave, Dennis
panicked.
The public only knew of Joshua as the richest man in Banyan City, but very few knew he was the
hidden boss of the biggest multinational corporation overseas!
The purpose of the banquet tonight was to build relations between the Walter Group and the Lynch
Group, to lay the groundwork for the Walter Group’s foray into the international business scene.
And now…
Joshua was about to leave because of a minor disagreement like this?!
He hurriedly hobbled on his cane and rushed to stand in Joshua’s path, stopping him from leaving.
“My dear boy, I think you misunderstood me… It’s not that I don’t respect your employee, I just thought,
even if an apology was in order, it could wait until the banquet was over, and we successfully locate the
person in charge of the oversight, and
then he can apologize to Ms. Luna.”
