Chapter 75 Misfortune
The money became the deciding factor of the waiter for him to agree to do as Aleena said. Then, he
left the secluded spot after Aleena. Meanwhile, Aleena approached Gianna as soon as she got out.
“Miss Aubrey, fancy seeing you here!”
“Same here, Miss Jones.” A smile bloomed on Gianna’s face as she was forced to greet Aleena, as
she couldn’t pretend that she didn’t see thetter.
“I wasn’t expecting to meet you here! Did youe alone?”
“I tagged along with a friend,” Gianna said.
“Do you know Logan Hunter as well?” Aleena asked. Logan Hunter was the organizer of this gathering.
“My friend knows him,” Gianna replied. “He’s a friend of mine, so you can tell me if you need anything.”
Aleena behaved as if they were old acquaintances while waving at the waiter. “Over here!” Upon being
called, the waiter who was bribed approached in a hurry, while Aleena handed the drugged wine to
Gianna as she held onto another ss before saying, “Cheers!” Gianna didn’t think it would be polite to
refuse her even though Aleena’s enthusiasm was a little overbearing, so she took the wine ss from
her before clinking them together. Then, Aleena downed all of her wine in one go while maintaining eye
contact with Gianna. The faint but definite presence of a scent that didn’t belong to the wine could be
detected as soon as Gianna put the ss onto her lips. Considering the fact that Gianna had been
constantly surrounded by medicine, as well as the fact that she fell for the very same trick seven years
ago, she had learned her lesson well, so she was sensitive toward the drug.
Upon casting a nce between Aleena and the waiter who just left, Gianna figured that the waiter
wouldn’t have the guts toe at her, thus there had to be another mastermind behind him. While she
was a stranger to all the other guests, she knew Aleena held a grudge against her, so her conjecture
was that Aleena was surely the culprit. On the other hand, the dy in Gianna’s actions stirred up
anxiety within Aleena as she asked, “Is something wrong?” “It’s nothing. I forgot that my body is still
recovering itself from a previous injury, so I can’t drink. Please allow me to substitute it using some
juice.” Gianna chuckled while holding her gaze on Aleena, then she set her ss down in search of
some juice. However, a loud p and the cries of a few women from within the hall interrupted her. A
frown formed on Gianna’s face as she looked at the direction where themotion happened, only to
see Kate having copsed on the floor, as Luca seemed to be scolding her. The sight of it triggered a
spontaneous reaction in Gianna as she pped her juice down on the counter while rushing to Kate’s
aid. In the meantime, Luca was still being his impertinent self as he cursed at Kate. “You shouldn’t be
so cocky when you’re merely the chief editor of some sh*tty magazine! Do as I say if you want to hire
me, or else you can get the f*ck out of here! Who do you think you are to resort to violence, you b*tch?”
“Don’t be angry, Luca. You need not make a fuss over a woman!” The crowd around him tried to pacify
him.
“Yeah, you have a public image to keep, and there are quite a number of journalists here.” All sorts of
advice was offered by the crowd, but none of them tried to help Kate up, as thetter was a mere editor
for an unknown publisher, while Luca was a top celebrity, and they knew who to side. Besides, Luca
was surrounded by women who perceived Kate to be far prettier than them, which was why they
refused to lend a helping hand; they thought they had done enough by withholding their slights. In a
few strides, Gianna reached Kate to help her up before inquiring about thetter. She noticed that half
of Kate’s face was swollen. Even though it was already hard to quell her anger, Luca still had to add
insult to injury by continuously cursing at Kate. “You shameless bastards!”
Silence ensued as Gianna looked toward Luca with a harsh gaze before attacking Luca with a kick right
before the crowd’s
