Luna had endured it for five years, but now, she was Raymond's daughter. Shelly, that bitch, dared to humiliate herself in this way. She couldn't bear it any further.
After being slapped, Shelly was shocked. She covered her face and exclaimed, "How dare you slap me?"
Sharon, standing next to her, gently grasped Shelly's arm. "Calm down. Consider the event today. Don't act impulsively."
Shelly shielded her face and said with a mix of despair and hope, "Aunt Sharon, I was slapped. Do you still expect me to endure it? You just stood by and watched her bully us. We're the Barretts!"
Shelly's loud outburst immediately captured everyone's attention. The unexpected slap at the banquet prompted many people to cast their gaze in their direction.
Mia was taken aback when Luna didn't hesitate to slap Shelly directly. It was evident that Shelly had been mocking Luna within the Barrett family during those five years, which explained Luna's strong reaction. Mia winked at Jasmine, signaling her to begin the performance.
Jasmine smiled and promptly stepped forward, standing beside Luna. "How could you possibly slap someone at a banquet? Please apologize to Ms. Barrett immediately."
Luna exclaimed in disbelief, "Why should I apologize to Shelly? She humiliated me with her crude words. I only reacted when I could no longer bear it. You have no idea how I suffered during those five years with the Barrett family. Despite everything, she still has the audacity to continue mocking me like this. Why should I have to endure it?"
Luna finished speaking in one breath, and her heart suddenly filled with joy. She glanced at Shelly, who was slapped by her, and felt no remorse for what she had done. She had been waiting for this moment for so long, and today she finally released all her pent-up anger.
At that moment, Raymond's voice came through. "Luna, what are you doing? Apologize to Ms. Barrett now. She's a guest. How could you slap her?"
