Charles' words were solid and powerful, and the entire room fell silent almost immediately.
Pin-drop silence.
Not only were Heather and Malcolm surprised, but even Joshua and Luna's faces were etched with shock.
Jim was the only person without a single hint of surprise on his face. He was still leaning against his seat gracefully as he sipped his drink.
Luna bit her lip, glancing at him, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on, Jim?"
Jim put down his glass with a smile on his face and shot her a knowing look. "Just watch the show."
Luna chewed her lip.
It seemed that Jim had already known what Charles was going to say, which was why he had persuaded her over and over again to attend the wedding tonight and even dress up for it.
However, Luna had never expected that...
Charles, who had always adored Heather, would announce kicking her out of the family at such an occasion.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna lifted her head to glance at Charles.
At the same time, Charles was staring straight at her.
Their gazes met, and a hint of gentleness flashed through Charles' otherwise solemn eyes.
Luna froze for a split second, then quickly turned away.
Meanwhile, onstage, Heather could not believe her ears.
She bit her lip and quickly scampered over to Charles' side. Then, she grabbed hold of his sleeve and asked i n a low voice, "Father, did you...happen to say the wrong name out of nerves?
"Isn't the person who is supposed to be kicked out... Luna? Why did it suddenly become me?"
Charles narrowed his eyes and glanced at Heather coldly, a sneer playing on his lips.
