Chapter 51
With falgar gone, Wanda retired, Erin a hopeless cause, and Rhett choosing a niche field to major in, it looked like the entire Wilder family was set to go downhill
Yet, Thett had the gall to make Wilson lookbad. Well, Rhett would
day that he crossed him.
“Save it. I’ll leave by myself. Let’s see if your grandpa will be fine with what you did today when you see him in the afterlife.“Wilson gnashed his teeth and glared
Wilson was such a jerk. It was hard to believe he’d be this vicious. He was basically cursing Rhett and wishing that Rhett would die soon.
Luna pursed her lips. Then, she commented, “Professor Hanley, I believe you will be the first to know If Mr. Wilder Senior is fine with it. With that said, I can’t be sure whether you’ll be able to see him. If you ask me, I don’t think you willl”
She pointed at the heavens first before gesturing to the ground as she spoke. It was a little outrageous for her to be speaking to her former mentor this way, but all she felt was exhilaration.
She might have been the only person who dared to curse het mend or in his face to rot in hell.
“Why, you!” Wilson got so mad that he raised his hand, but the Wilder family’s bodyguards were already there.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the rage. “You brats, I’m not going to lower myself to your level. Mr. Wilder Senior’s funeral is a solemn and dignified ritual. So, you had better watch how you present yourself, Luna!*
Lans watched as Wilson stormed out of the Wilder residence. Then, she turned sideways and looked at Rhett. “What did he mean by that? Is he trying to say
six that I disrespected Mr. Wilder Senior?
“Ignore him. I’ll take you to my aunt.” Naturally, Rhett meant Erin.
Luna didn’t know that they were related before yesterday. She certainly wasn’t aware that Suzie was Erin’s daughter.
She shook her head. “I’d rather not. I came here to moum Mr. Wilder Senior out of respect, and I didn’t want to be a bother to you guys. It’s clear that you all are heartbroken, but I’m not good with words. So, I can’t say anything comforting
“you have a lot of guests overt
today. I’m sure you’re going to be very busy. The least I can do is get out of the way.”
Rhett lowered his eyes and looked at her. When he first saw Luna, be realized that she probably suffered from malnutrition. Aside from being overly skinny, her face was as white as a sheet.
Luna kept spending time with Wilson’s mentees, lagging behind them submissively and timidly. It was as if they could’ve scared her into tears just by raising their voices.
What Rhett didn’t expect to see was how a cowardly young lady like her had the courage to leave Wilson’s team and study a niche field. What was more, she even taught someone a lesson for his sake.
Luna looked so badass and adorable while she did it, too. It was hard not to feel attracted to her.
In fact, Rhett was in a bad place emotionally. Edgar’s death had cast a gloomy shade over the entire family. Now, however, he seemed to feel joy sparkling in his heart
If she could muster up the courage and make the hard decision, then what was stopping him from leading the Wilder family into a glorious future?
He couldn’t let Edgar down, and he wouldn’t.
Rhett raised his hand and patted Luna’s head. “I’ll catch you later, then
Then, he left before she could make sense of what he said.
Soon, it was Luna’s turn to walk into the main funeral hall and mourn Edgar. When she was done, he turned around and saw Rhett, who was standing next to his family and waiting to bow to her,
When she met his sorrowful glance, she believed she should offer some comforting words. However, all she could do was purse her lips and say, “Rhett!
“I get it. Thank you.” He seemed to know just what she was trying to say. Raising his hand, he patted her on the shoulder.
Erin, who stood next to him, also glanced at her. “You’re so sweet for showing up.”
Luna was disheartened on her way back She had never felt this crestfallen in her life.
She had to rely on the kindness of others as she grew up, but the word “kindness had a slightly different meaning here.
The people in her village resented her. They said that her mom abandoned her as soon as she was bom
The village elder was kind–hearted and didn’t want to leave her to her own fate. So, be forced every family in the village to take turns supporting her for a day.
