?
Dillon''s eyes widened in shock. "Mr. Schnabel?"
"The one from Rising Glory Group, here specifically to see our young Miss. The matriarch insists you hurry to the parlor for the meeting!"
"Beckett Schnabel? I thought the Schnabels weren''ting?"
The butler replied, "Ms. Schnabel and Ulrich came along as well. The olddy''s overjoyed and wants you there too."
Luna covered her face and shrieked!
"Beckett! How can I show my face like this!"
Even though a real doctor had treated Luna''s face, it was obviously toote to meet Beckett in this state!
Oriana''s eyes flickered with mischief.
"Mr. Schnabel rarely makes a visit, and with Ulrich here, this is your chance to charm your way into the Schnabel family. Miss this, and you might not get another."
"Shut up! This is all your fault, you wretch! I''ll kill you!"
Orianaughed heartily. "Kill me, and you still won''t have Mr. Schnabel! The Schnabel family would never take a disfigured bride!"
Oriana found immense joy in Luna''s misfortune.
Why should someone from the Patel family be so high and mighty, trampling over her at will!
Their conversation was secretly ryed to Noe through an earring the doctor wore.
In the parlor, Noe frowned unhappily. "Beckett, Ms. Patel hasn''t shown up yet. Is she refusing to apologize?"
"Of course not."
Beckett''s icy gaze fell on Pearl Patel sitting across, sharp and warning.
"Ms. Patel is most reasonable. She promised Luna would personally apologize, and she will."Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.
Pearl''s expression soured.
That girl Luna, why hasn''t shee yet!
She''s about to tarnish the Patel family''s reputationpletely!
"Go and hurry her along. Tell her if she doesn''te now, she need not bear the Patel name anymore!"
"Yes, ma''am."
Noe sipped her tea with visible distaste. "Beckett, this tea is awful. Is this really the Patel family''s way of treating us?"
"Noe, don''t be so rude."
Though Beckett spoke those words, his tone didn''t carry any me.
"My apologies, my sister''s been spoiled at home, very picky."
Pearl, having weathered many storms, calmly responded, "It''s our oversight in hospitality. Haven''t you heard? Bring Ms. Schnabel our finest tea!" "Right away."
With the new tea served, Noe eyed the packaging and eximed, "Ulrich, this tea is indeed excellent. I saw itst in Grandfather''s study; he said it was exclusive and wouldn''t even share with me! The olddy is much more generous."
Ulrich Schnabel smiled knowingly.
"Naive girl, this tea is far superior to the one in Grandfather''s collection. Different batch, different value. The olddy''s tea cakees at a six-figure price per ounce."
Pearl''s hands trembled while brewing the tea!
"You exaggerate, we''re merely merchants, notparable to Marcel''s tea."
After tasting the tea, Noe''s lips curved slightly, no longer picking faults.
Pearl, expecting moreints, felt like punching cotton - no satisfaction.
The Schnabel family''s youngdy was indeed extraordinary.
No wonder Luna was so agitated; in terms of tactics and depth, Luna couldn''t hold a candle to Ms. Schnabel.
The second butler stood outside Luna''s room.
"Miss, if you dy further, the olddy will be displeased."
Luna stamped her feet in frustration and burst into tears!
"Beckett, please help me...''
Dillon stroked his chin, "Doctor, let''s get Luna a bandage for her face and cover it up with some makeup for now." Doctor Alkaid firmly declined.
"That would ruin her chances of
recovery.Ammediate medical
attention is needed to clean and stitch the wound. Covering it with non-breathable material and makeup will do irreversible damage."
Luna wailed even louder.
"I don''t want to be disfigured!"
Dillon pulled her aside coolly. "Listen you still have a chance
to me,
good is your beauty?"Either
Mr. Schnabel. If you misse
To Dillon, climbing the Schnabel family tree was worth any sacrifice of Luna''s beauty.
Forcing Luna into a chair, Dillon said coldly, "Disobey me, and I''ll make your life a living hell!"
Seeing Dillon''s ruthless reflection in the mirror, Luna shook with fear.
After applying the bandage, Alkaid warned, "You have ten minutes. The wound still has some uncleaned agents; you need to get to a hospital within that time."
"I understand."
Oriana, though reckless, wasn''t bold. The acid used was diluted, but enough to make Luna''s wound painfully itchy and disfigured!
After a touch-up to make herplexion less rming, Luna endured the pain and followed Dillon into the parlor.
Upon entering, Luna''s eyes lit up at the sight of Beckett!
Why couldn''t such a perfect man be hers?
Noe raised an eyebrow, covering her nose.
"Beckett, what''s that smell? It''s awful."
To mask the scent of blood and chemicals, Luna had doused herself in perfume.
"Noe Schnabel, don''t push it!"
Noe quickly hid behind Beckett.
Ulrich''s gaze turned icy as he looked at Luna. "You have a problem with my sister?"
As soon as heid eyes on Luna, all he could think about was the rumor that she tried to push Malvina Gruber down the stairs!
His gaze even darkened with murderous intent!
Luna shuddered, shrinking away, "No, I didn''t mean to..."
Pearl, towering with an air of authority, scolded, "Luna, apologize to Ms. Schnabel."
Was she called here just to apologize to Noe?
This was outright humiliation!
Meeting Noe''s mocking gaze, Luna felt the flush of shame burn even brighter.
She knew it; Noe was doing this on purpose... But neither she nor the Patel family had any leverage against the Schnabels.
"I''m sorry, Ms. Schnabel, I shouldn''t have offended you..."
Her voice was so faint, one might think she was muttering in her sleep.
Noe feigned surprise, "Does the Patel family have mosquitoes? Such buzzing, be careful not to get bitten."
Catching Noe''s drift, Pearl looked at Luna with discontent.
"Luna, apologize!"
Feeling the impatience from her grandmother, Luna dared not dally any longer, the humiliation eating at her.
Through gritted teeth, she said, "Ms. Schnabel, I''m sorry!"
Noe offered a dismissive smile.
"So formal? No need, Ms. Patel, you''re too kind."
As if all the nasty words were hers to say!
Just as Pearl breathed a sigh of relief, Noe spoke up again.
"Ms. Patel, what''s with the makeup today? It looks a bit odd, doesn''t it?"
"Beckett, did you not want to see us and did this on purpose?"
Dillon stepped forward, "Ms. Schnabel, my sister was trying out thetest makeup trend."
"Trending to put a band-aid on your face?"
Noe snorted withughter, "How fashionable indeed!"
Luna felt like she was about to explode with frustration at Noe''s taunts!
Pearl pinched the bridge of her nose, visibly annoyed, "What on earth are you doing, take that thing off your face now!"
