Wendy had already tested the water’s temperature. It was lukewarm, not hot at all.
Her sharp, clear eyes locked onto Luna’s face. “You intentionally frained Cecelia. It wasn’t about her at all, was it? It’s me you’ve got an issue with.”
Luna shrugged nonchalantly, a sly smile spreading across her lips. “Yeah, it is.”
Halsey was fuming. “Luna, have you lost your mind? Wendy has always considered you a friend. Don’t you remember who rushed to save you when Mr. Silva took you away from Gold Vista Hotel? Now that you’re a big star, you’ve forgotten all about that and turned your back on everyone? You’re just repaying kindness with malice! What happened to your conscience?”
Luna didn’t show the slightest bit of guilt. Instead, she coldly chuckled. “Finally, you’re saying what’s really on your mind. You’re just jealous of me. You’re jealous because I found a rich boyfriend. You’re jealous because I became a big star!”
Jealous?
Halsey was speechless. “If you’re so proud, why don’t you just tell us your boyfriend’s name?”
Wendy gently pulled Halsey behind her, her eyes sharp and clever as she fixed her gaze on Luna. “Do I know your boyfriend?”
Luna had flaunted him to Wendy more than once, so she should know who he was by now.
Luna didn’t answer.
Just then, her assistant quickly answered a phone call and whispered something into Luna’s ear.
Luna’s face lit up with excitement, and she proudly looked at Wendy. “Sorry, but I don’t have time to discuss Cecelia right now. I won’t rescind my statement. My boyfriend heard about my injury, and he’s here to take me home from the hospital.”
Halsey was infuriated. “You little…”
Luna calmly swung her legs off the bed and stood up. Wearing a beautiful dress, she twirled a few times in front of the mirror, making sure she looked perfect, before walking toward the door, her assistant trailing behind her.
“She’s such a jerk! We’ve really misjudged her before. Who the hell is her sugar daddy? He must be a big shot to give her all that cockiness.” Halsey was livid.
Wendy stared in the direction where Luna had disappeared. After a moment, she said, “We’ll find out who her sugar daddy is if we follow her.”
She, too, was curious to know who the man behind Luna was.
Wendy and Halsey made their way downstairs. They spotted Luna standing on the street, waiting patiently. Her sugar daddy hadn’t arrived yet.
“Here he comes!” Halsey said, pointing.
Wendy looked up and saw a stretched–out Rolls–Royce, its sleek black exterior gleaming with an aura of cold luxury. The car looked like it had descended from the heavens, its imposing presence attracting the attention of everyone around.

Luna’s eyes lit up. In an instant, she went from the towering, unapproachable star to a lovestruck young woman. Het assistant opened the back door, and Luna lifted her skin, stepping inside the car.
The dark–tinted windows hid the car’s interior, keeping the identity of its occupants a secret. Everything about the car was low–key yet mysterious.
Soon, the luxury vehicle sped off, carrying Luna into the night, vanishing from sight, just as she vanished from Wendy’s view.
Halsey was confused. “Judging by the car, it looks like Luna got herself a powerful sugar daddy. But I still can’t figure out who he is.”
As Halsey reached out to grab Wendy’s hand, she noticed how cold Wendy’s fingers were–like ice.
“Wendy, what’s going on? Your hands are freezing.”
