Luna felt inexplicably puzzled when she heard Bonnie's words.
Bonnie was supposed to be the star of the show tonight, right? Why did she say she wanted to make Luna the most charming woman in Banyan City, then?
Shannon did not seem to notice anything wrong and instead agreed with Bonnie, "That's right! If Director Luna is the star of tonight instead of you, Bonnie, then she would really be the most charming woman in the city."
Luna's elegance was unsurpassable.
Bonnie curled her lips into a smile but said nothing in reply.
After freshening up, the three of them made their way to Starhill Hotel.
Initially, there were supposed to be photos of Bonnie and Jason together at the venue, but it had been replaced with a picture of Bonnie, standing alone in a wedding dress. The banner that initially read, [ Congratulations, Bonnie and Jason,] was also changed to [Congratulations on your freedom, Bonnie.]
The three of them had arrived early, so after settling Luna and Shannon down in the hall, Bonnie immediately disappeared backstage to take care of the party arrangements.
Shannon sat on the sofa, munching on the fruits and desserts that the caterers had laid out on the table. At the same time, she glanced around her surroundings and remarked, "Bonnie did an excellent job decorating this place. It looks so extravagant and beautiful. You can tell that she truly loved her fiance. What a pity that he turned out to be a scumbag."
Luna fiddled with her phone, looking at the photo that Lily had sent her a while ago—it was a picture of Nigel and Nellie eating. She nodded in reply and said, "Well, thankfully, she realized it before she got married to him."
"You’re right." Shannon sighed. "If she ended up marrying him and even gave birth to his children, that would be bad news. Don’t you think so, Director Luna

Suddenly, she realized what she had said, and the rest of her sentence got caught in her throat.
She realized that...the woman sitting across from her had married a scumbag and gave birth to his children many years ago, too.
Not one, not two, but four children. However, two of them did not make it.
As soon as she thought of this, Shannon bit down on her lip and clamped her mouth shut.
