Chapter 8
Luciana was drunk.
Kathy felt nauseous.
These images that once tore her heart apart and kept her awake at night, now seem so trivial.
When I truly didn’t care, I could withstand any hardship without being affected.
As the banquet was drawing to a close, Kathy prepared to leave.
Tonight’s banquet can be considered a success.
Justin’s ambition, Luciana’s vanity, and their own active cooperation should not be faulted.
She walked to the dining table, holding a glass of wine.
The final dance music started playing, and Luciana was spun around by Justin, moving closer towards this side.
Looking at Kathy’s graceful figure, a glint of intelligence flashed in her
eyes.
With the momentum provided by Justin, she bumped into Kathy.
Next to the dining table was a champagne tower nearly ten layers high.
She had calculated the distance perfectly, but after two laps, Kathy’s shadow was nowhere to be seen.
Luciana, feeling surprised, tripped and stumbled headfirst into the

champagne tower,
The collapsed wine glass, along with the champagne inside, spilled out and buried her completely.
As the waiter pulled the person out of the wreckage, Luciana, covered in wine stains, immediately buried herself in Justin’s arms.
“Justin, I know tonight was not supposed to be me by your side, it should have been Mrs. Garrett’s place.”
But even if she was angry, she shouldn’t have pushed me. If I had been unlucky with those pieces of glass just now, I would have been disfigured.
Maybe I should just leave. If I provoke her again, I’m afraid I won’t survive.
After singing and reciting for a while, Kathy nodded frequently.
No wonder Luciana was able to rise to the top.
She could easily deceive others with sweet talk, but when it came to lying and cheating, she was truly unmatched.
Kathy was watching excitedly when she suddenly caught sight of Justin gently pushing Luciana aside and striding over.
With a slap, he hit her across the face.
“What are you so proud of?”
Kathy was a little confused.
Luciana spun around, wanting to knock her down.
She got so drunk that she plunged into the champagne tower, and not
Chapter 8
once did she touch a finger of her own.

And as for the so–called pride, she didn’t even raise the corners of her lips, how did Justin see that she was proud?
The corners of the eyes gradually turned red.
Not being wronged, but being steamed by the rising anger.
That slap silenced the entire banquet hall.
Kathy could even imagine what would trend later.
President Lu was so angry that he slapped his “beloved wife” in order to uphold justice.
The love affair of the wealthy family changed, Cinderella’s dream shattered at the banquet, only the laughter of the new person was heard, leaving the old person to cry.
It was strange that even though she was publicly slapped in the face by Justin, she still had the presence of mind to think about this and that.
Anger was real, but there was not a single bit of the painful feeling.
I really didn’t love anymore.
Justin looked at Kathy’s eyes, which were tinged with red, and nodded in satisfaction.
It should be like this; her pride can only be pulled out by herself.
As soon as the finger moved, wanting to touch that touch of red, the hand was held by someone.
“Justin, forget it. It’s not good to have so many people watching.”

Luciana bit her lip, looking pitiful, but the smile in her eyes couldn’t be suppressed.
The slap in private was always harsh, but no one witnessed it.
Unlike now, it used to make Kathy’s face hurt more.
Her self–proclaimed status as the original wife was only able to be arrogant with the help of Justin.
Now, still being tricked by myself, just stepping on it.
“Fight with me? Hmph, I’ll let you taste the humiliation of being publicly shamed.”
If eyes could speak, Luciana’s eyes were conveying such a message.
It was just a case of a villain getting his way.
Kathy pressed her tongue against her left cheek, feeling a hot, radiating pain and a slight numbness.
Justin’s hand was strong, I reckon his face will be swollen again.
In the little book of grudges in my heart, another grudge is added.
The sudden slap gave Kathy an excuse to leave.
She remained silent, not uttering a single word of defense for herself.
She straightened her back and walked quickly towards the entrance of the banquet hall. !
Justin’s eyes flashed with cold light, and he tried to use the same trick to grab her wrist again, but Kathy dodged to the side.
“Mr. Garrett, do you believe that I will call the police, and have you
Chapter 8
arrested for using violence in public?”
Her beautiful eyes flickered, shining brightly after being washed by anger.
The cold gaze then swept towards the woman hiding behind Justin, watching the show.
“Anyway, it’s all about calling the police. Some people twist the truth and slander, but they can’t escape. It’s just a casual thing. Why don’t you two go together?”
Justin’s breath became heavier.
The throat rolled, the eyes fierce.
“I let you get away with everything, didn’t I, Kathy Sanders?”
This was the first time in their long–standing relationship that Justin called her by her full name.
Kathy smiled, but there was a cold emptiness in her eyes.
“Besides the time when we had just been married for two years, Mr. Garrett, have you ever indulged me? Did you indulge me, the bird, or yourself, Justin, you need to see clearly.”
She stopped talking nonsense and gradually walked away in the dim and unclear eyes of Justin.
