Chapter 1025


    At that moment, a palpable awkwardness filled the air. Mia arched her eyebrows and took in the scene before her, a sudden urge to burst intoughter welling up inside her.


    Obviously, Luna was the most seriously injured person present. However, instead of attending to her, Raymond grabbed the ice bucket and tended to himself first. The supposed deep love between father and daughter had ironically resulted in them abandoning each other when disaster struck.


    Raymond reacted instantly with a bright smile and said, "Luna, why don''t you soak your hands in it as well and then go straight to the hospital to prevent any scarring?"


    Luna''s face paled with anger, but she swiftly regained herposure and refrained from losing her temper at this crucial moment.


    She realized that Raymond was her sole supporter at the moment. Deep down, Luna had always been aware of Raymond''s self-centered nature. It was evident when he abandoned her mother and herself. Luna cried and said aggrievedly, "Dad, I''m fine. There''s only one ice bucket. You should use it. I me myself for your injury. I would feel guilty if you were hurt."


    Upon hearing Luna''s words, Raymond was ovee by a rush of guilt. "Luna, don''t worry. I''ll definitely seek justice for you!"This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Thank you, Dad."


    Luna couldn''t help but shoot Sharon a sinister re. Luna''s heart brimmed with anger as she imagined herself stabbing a knife into Sharon. How dare this despicable old woman scald her with boiling water! Nevertheless, she rationally reminded herself that taking action at that moment was not practical. After all, murder was illegal. If she wanted to seek revenge against someone, there would always be opportunities in the future. Where there was light, there was hope.


    Now that she was helpless and powerless, she had no choice but to endure it. Without being able to endure it, she would have never been able to get to where she was at the moment without the support of the Barrett family.


    Luna knew Raymond could take her back, mostly because of the Barrett family and Asher''s connection to them. Since she was injured, she could use this trick to gain his sympathy and achieve her goals. After witnessing this scene, Sharon pointed at Luna and eximed, "You cunning troublemaker! Stop your pretentious acts. You sure are good at deceiving men."


    After hearing those words, Raymond


    frowned and nced at Timothy, demanding, Mr. Barrett, I need an exnation for today''s incident. Luna is my daughter, and I''ve owed her a great deal over the years. Mrs. Barrett directly insulted her and caused her harm. You should be aware of the repercussions Mrs.


    Barrett will face if I decide to involve


    the police."


    Luna had just shown remarkable understanding by not ming Raymond and even offering him the ice bucket first. This gesture prompted Raymond to feel the need to express his anger on Luna''s behalf. Luna added proudly, "That''s right. Mrs. Barrett was initially sentenced to one year of probation due to her offense. She must remain in Bern City and is prohibited froming over."


    Raymond was reminded by Luna not to overlook the fact that this could be utilized.


    He nodded and replied, "Indeed, Mr. Barrett. If this issue continues to escte, Mrs. Barrett may be facing more than just a suspended sentence."


    Sharon''s face went pale as her anger boiled over. Luna, this cunning woman, was truly a troublemaker.


    Upon hearing this, Jasmine quickly


    intervened, "Dad, now is not the time for such discussions. Your hands are covered in blisters. We should hurry to the hospital and address this matter promptly. Applying ice to your burns won''t be very effective."


    At that moment, Raymond''s assistant quickly approached.


    Timothy looked at Raymond and stated, "If this situation continues to escte, fear that Luna won''t be able to remain in Nord City either They all must return to Bern City and face the consequences of their actions."
