Chapter 1729


    Luna’s entire body stiffened when she heard Joshua’s name.


    She bit her lip and wrung her hands underneath the table.


    She could not believe that…Joshua was going to attend this dinner, too.


    “It seems that Lynch Group is trying to obtain Mr. Hanson’s business too,” Charlotte’s voice rang out


    through the earpiece in Luna’s ear. “Luna, you have to keep yourselfposed and don’t get influenced


    by Joshua.


    “Your motive today is to get on Mr. Hanson’s good side and be his friend.”


    Luna bit her lip and covered her mouth with her sleeve as she whispered back, “But Mr. Hanson has


    already said Joshua is his new friend…”


    Since Joshua and Mr. Hanson had already gotten to know each other beforehand, why did she even


    have to try?


    She did not think she was capable of letting Mr. Hanson choose her over Joshua.


    Charlotte sneered and replied, “What’s wrong? Are you scared and want to give up now?


    “Lunia, how can you possibly be the new CEO of Landry Group if you can’t even handle something


    like this?”


    Luna bit her lip when she heard this. A split secondter, she let out an exhale. “Alright, I’ll try.


    After all, there would be many instances of her and Joshuaing head-on in battle from this moment


    onward, and this was just a small dinner date. If she could not even face or handle this, how could she


    possibly defeat Joshua in the future?


    As soon as she thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and smiled at Mr. Hanson. “I’ve always heard such


    great things about you, Mr. Hanson, so I decided to tag along with Uncle Harold today.


    “It turns out Mr. Hanson is much kinder and friendlier than I thought.”


    Mr. Hanson roared withughter, then turned to shoot Harold a contemptuous nce. “It turns out Ms.


    Luna has been thinking of you as an uncle all this while.”


    The color drained from Harold’s face. He let out a slight cough and replied, “That’s just what I prefer to be


    called, so what right do you have toment on that?”


    With that, he nced at Luna, frowning. “Since you want to be friends with Mr. Hanson, why don’t


    you give him a toast?”


    Luna pursed her lips and immediately nced in Mr. Hanson’s direction.


    She could not hold her liquor very well, and she had deliberately eaten some supplements that would aid


    her metabolism beforeing here, but…


    She could not help feeling a little nervous as she stared at the bottle of wine before her.


    They were forcing her to toast Mr. Hanson even before the dinner hadmenced, so she probably


    would have to drink even more after the dinner started.


    Would the medication she had taken still work with that amount of alcohol?


    When she recalled the bad things that had happened every time she got drunk, Luna could not help


    feeling a little worried.Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    She was not too concerned about humiliating herself, but instead, she was more worried about


    identally offending Mr. Hanson and wasting all her effort.


    “Come on, drink.” Harold frowned at her. “Don’t you want to be friends with Mr. Hanson? Aren’t you


    willing to even take a small sip?”


    Luna chewed her bottom lip, let out an exhale, and stood up. “Mr. Hanson, it’s a pleasure meeting you,


    and this is for you.”


    With that, she closed her eyes and drank the entire ss of wine.


    As soon as she did, she could feel her head spinning.


    Luna could not help feeling a little strange as soon as she sat down next to Harold.


    She had already taken the medication prior to this, so by right, she should not be able to feel the effects


    of the alcohol at all, so why was she starting to feel a little drunk?


    Harold cackled, seemingly understanding the confusion in Luna’s head, and said with a leering tone,


    “This wine was specially prepared by Mr. Hanson for female guests like you.”
