“Duncan Duerson?”
Mireille frowned slightly. “I attended the Duersons’ patriarch’s birthday banquet with my grandfather
before, and I don’t seem to recall seeing you there.”
Duncan gave a wry smile. “I’m an adopted son taken in by the Duersons. I’m not well-regarded within
the family, and they’ve never allowed me to participate in the old man’s birthday banquet.”
Mireille became even more puzzled. “Then why would the Duersons. pass the position of the family
head to you?”
“Because the Duersons offended a very powerful person, and they feared a catastrophic downfall. So,
they divided the old man’s assets and fled abroad, leaving the position of the family head to me.”
Duncan exined with a bitter and aggrieved expression. Mireille turned away to continue preparing
the medicine.
The affairs ofrge families were indeedplicated, and she did not want to delve too deeply.
As for Duncan’s words, she only half-believed them.
“So, Ms. Tanner, are you willing to give me a chance?” Duncan asked again.
Mireille slightly parted her lips and replied, “Confessing as soon as we meet only causes aversion!”
The heirs of these wealthy families were notcking in femalepanionship, and Duncan’s
eagerness only suggested ulterior motives.
Mireille would not easily engage in a rtionship without fully understanding a person, especially the
heirs of such prominent families.
A glint of coldness shed in Duncan’s eyes.
This woman was being ungrateful!
If soft tactics did not work, then he would have to resort to harsher methods.
He stood up and walked outside, taking out his phone to send a text message.
At Jonford University of Finance and Economics, Luna received a video message.
In the video, several burly men were standing in her apartment, and the nannyy unconscious on the
floor.
A man with a scarred face snatched her sister’s yogurt drink and was sipping it with a straw while
smiling at the girl.
Instantly, Luna’s face turned pale, and she ran out of the ssroom.
As she ran to the corner of the stairs, she bumped into a firm chest.
“Damn, don’t you have eyes?!”
Before the person she bumped into could speak, his entourage started cursing.
ude backhanded one of them with a p.
He said coldly, “Is my woman someone you can insult?”Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
Seeing Luna’s panicked expression and red-rimmed eyes, ude asked in a deep voice, “Did
someone bully you?”
Luna pushed ude away and ran outside without looking back.
ude’s face darkened.
Apanied by his group, he stormed into Luna’s ssroom.
The originally noisy ssroom suddenly quieted down.
ude was known as the tyrant of Jonford University of Finance and Economics.
His ruthlessness was such that even teachers and the principal feared him.
“Who bullied Luna?” he asked in an icy tone, sending shivers down the spines of the more timid girls in
the ssroom.
One bespectacled boy timidly raised his hand and said, “A couple of days ago, during military training,
Luna was scolded by the instructor and coach.”
Hearing this, ude’s expression turned even colder.
Half an hourter, the instructor and coach were beaten until their faces were swollen and bruised..
As ude left the office, he suddenly felt puzzled.
Luna appeared fragile on the surface but was actually very stron willed.
If it was just a matter of being scolded by the instructor and co for making mistakes, she would surely
correct her mistakes earnes
Two days had passed. Why would she still be upset about it?
Suddenly, ude looked up. “Could it be that something happened to her family?”
He quickly took out his phone to call Luna, but her phone was switched off.
Duncan returned to the vi, where The Swordsman was being treated to fine wine and food.
With Boris’ mediation, he had knelt and sworn allegiance to The
Swordsman as his godfather as well.
There were now two Mystique Loyalty Realm experts stationed at the Duersons’ home.
