Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
If I’m not mistaken, this old man seems to be calling my name?
My mouth fell open slightly as I looked at the scene in confusion. Right after, the old man looked straight at me and walked towards me. When he reached me, he stopped and took off his hat to extend his greetings.
“Miss Luna, I am your mother’s former housekeeper, Payne.” The silver-haired old man bowed and extended a hand.
Iwas surprised to feel everyone’s eyes on me. I shook his hand and whispered, “My mother? What’s going on?”
If the main character of this ball is me, it’s very likely that it’s some key information my mother left for me!
“Miss Luna, you’ll find out soon enough.” Payne slowly led me to the stage. He looked at the pairs of wide eyes below the stage, it turned out that the guests were as surprised and confused as I was.
But for some reason I felt a touch of kinship from Payne, my instincts told me he wasn’t going to harm me.
However, when I stood still on the stage, the guests below the stage became restless. They looked at me and whispered to the people beside them.
ister Payne, shouldn’t we be auctioning the manor now? Why did you invite an unrelated woman to come up?”
Someone even more daring extended his hand and shouted, ”
Very quickly, someone beside him replied in a low voice, “Such a beautiful woman might have been gifted along with the manor. This is such a great bargain!”
Payne remained calm and lowered his hand. “Please calm down. We’re going to auction our manors, but before that, I’d like to ask you to witness something.”
I looked at Payne in confusion, he turned his head to look at me and noticed my gaze. He smiled kindly at me and said loudly, “Today, all the inheritance of the Bell Family will be inherited by Miss Luna!”
Everyone was silent for a few seconds before a huge commotion broke out in the banquet hall.
“Oh my god! That’s an inheritance worth billions, and it’s all given to this woman?”
“Weren’t those manors taken away by the country decades ago? Why can they still be inherited now?”
“The Bell Family? Why do I remember that the only bloodline of the Bell Family is that fat pig girl Luna? Wait, could she be that fat pig girl?”
Countless people below the stage flocked forward, wanting to see how the woman who had inherited such a large inheritance and was once infamous was like now. However, when they saw the beauty of the woman on the stage and her noble and outstanding temperament, they were even more shocked.
To the far left of the crowd, Alpha was standing on the steps behind a carved pillar, looking toward the center of the crowd.
‘The woman in the middle was dressed in an ice blue floor-length gown. Her posture was graceful, her back straight, and her chin was raised slightly. Facing the chaos below, she looked very calm and elegant.
Alpha had come to the ball to find the ghost doctor, but now, all his attention was on Luna, who was in the middle of the crowd.
The bright sunlight shone through the large classical glass window onto Luna’s dress, reflecting a dazzling light. The shimmering dress didn’t take away the beauty of a woman at all. Instead, it made her look like a divine angel who had descended into the mortal world and appeared in the world of light.
Looking at this scene, Alpha suddenly felt his head sink. Some memories that did not belong to him seemed to gather in his mind, and an inexplicable sadness and sorrow surfaced in his heart..
