That insincere apology only made Luna laugh.
After a deep inhale, she lifted her gaze and glanced at the butler, Mr. Walter. “So, you’re saying that
you only know Mrs. Lynch used to be known as Luna Gibson and had no idea another woman who
went by the name Luna existed in this world, am I right?“
The butler frowned slightly and remained silent.
“Of course he doesn’t know! “ Dennis laughed coldly. “If he knew Ms. Luna and Luna Gibson were two
different people and did this on purpose, that means he’s intentionally trying to cause trouble for you.
“Mr. Walter has worked as our butler for more than 20 years. He, at least, knows not to do something
like this.“
“I see.“ Luna sucked in a deep breath and quietly pressed the button on her necklace.
After a soft beep, she laughed lightly and continued, “So, according to the old Mr. Walter, if the butler
knew from the start that I and Luna Gibson are two separate individuals, that means he did all this on
purpose, no?“
The woman’s words made the butler, who stood at the side, turn pale in an instant. He glanced at Alice

Alice narrowed her eyes slightly, walked toward Luna, and held her arm gently. “Ms. Luna, you’re taking
this too seriously. The butler looks to be at
least fifty or sixty. An old man like him might have a poor memory.
“Even if he heard your name before, he may have forgotten it already.“
The butler stiffened and hurriedly nodded. “Yes, that’s right. I’m old, and my memory is failing me! “
Luna narrowed her eyes slightly. She pulled her arm out of Alice’s grip, her gaze faint and indifferent. “
The butler has a poor memory, you say?“
As she spoke, her gaze drifted toward Dennis. “As the richest man in Sea City, why would the old Mr.
Walter entrusted the family’s affairs to an old man with a failing memory?“
Luna’s words were like a rock thrown into the surface of a calm lake, and it caused a ripple in the
crowd.
Everyone present had business dealings with the Walter family, and almost all of them had to be in
touch with the butler. If the old butler’s memory was failing him, what if one day he made the mistake
with them as he did to Luna?
That would prove to be an apocalyptic disaster! The crowd exploded in a flurry.
Everyone started discussing amongst themselves. Their voices increased as time went by until it was
exponentially noisy.
Joshua stood behind Luna with his arms crossed over his chest, a cold smile on his lips.
Fools.
The consequences of saying a butler was in charge of all the affairs of such a prominent family like the
Walters were more serious than intentionally leaving out Luna’s name!
The man glanced at Luna admiringly with that thought in mind,
As the sound of discussion in the hall grew louder and louder, Dennis frowned and coldly snapped, “
Our butler’s health and memory are in perfect condition! “
Then, he turned and glared at Alice coldly. “How well do you know our family, Mrs. Lynch? And you’re
starting a rumor that our butler has a poor memory?“
Dennis’s admonishment threw Alice into a daze. When did her father ever treat her like that?

She suppressed the dissatisfaction in her chest and lowered her head. “I was wrong. I thought the
butler, Mr. Walter, was the same as my parents— suffering from a failing memory at his age. As it turns
out Mr. Walter is different from mediocre people like my parents.“
Luna frowned slightly.
Even though she did not have much affection left for her parents, hearing Alice dishonor them in public
like that discomforted her.
Looking equally unhappy was Dennis Walter.
On the surface, Alice’s words seemed to be praising the old butler, but in reality, she was taunting him,
her own father!
He waved his sleeves coldly. “Enough. The old butler took matters into his own hands and made a
mistake with Ms. Luna’s name. He apologized, so there’s nothing left to see. Everyone, attend to your
own business! “
If the crowd continued to gather, he did not know what else would happen.
“Wait.”
