**Chapter 223 p>
As Autumn wielded the mop with fierce determination, she directed her scorn at Luna, her voice dripping with disdain. “Oh, so you enjoy playing the troublemaker, do you? Let me give that filthy mouth of yours a thorough scrubbing, then p>
“Once again, Luna, you shameless mistress, you push me to my limits. Do you genuinely believe I’m just going to stand by and let you get away with this?” Her words were sharp, each one a dagger aimed at Luna’s heart.
“Your mother was the other woman, and look at you—following in her disgraceful footsteps. Both of you are cut from the same cloth, a pair of wretched souls.” Autumn’s grip on the mop tightened, her knuckles whitening as she pressed down with more force, as if trying to erase the very existence of Luna.
“How dare you flaunt your role as a mistress? It’s unbelievable! You should be lurking in the shadows, yet here you are, parading around with that scumbag of a man as if you wear your shame like a badge of honor p>
“The level of shamelessness you and your mother possess is beyond comprehension.” Autumn’s voice rose, filled with venom. “She shattered my mother’s life, and now you think you can ruin mine too? Have you even glanced in the mirror lately? You’re not even close to being worthy p>
Seething with rage, Autumn felt a fierce satisfaction watching Luna and her companions flail about like rats caught in a trap. The janitor, a silent witness to the unfolding drama, stood frozen for a moment, her expression shifting as she absorbed Autumn’s words. A flicker of sympathy crossed her face, and she clapped her hands in agreement, her voice ringing out with approval.
“Good girl, you’re absolutely right! Women like her deserve to be forced into hiding like the vermin they are. The moment they dare to reveal themselves, everyone should rise up and drive them out p>
“Especially someone as brazen as her, seducing her own brother-in-law—she deserves nothing but punishment, no mercy at all.” The janitor’s voice was filled with a righteous fury, echoing Autumn’s sentiments. To her, mistresses were the very lowest of the low, a cancerous blight on society that warranted nothing but scorn and disdain.
Meanwhile, Autumn’s brothers stood in shock, their eyes wide as they witnessed the brutal scene unfold. They were momentarily paralyzed, unable to process the sight of Luna taking the blows. Simon, in particular, felt a pang of doubt gnawing at him. He knew Autumn well; her fiery temper was not without reason. She wouldn’t lash out at Luna without provocation.
But as Ethan’s words echoed in his mind, confusion clouded his thoughts. Could it be true? Was Luna truly the mistress?
Just then, Hector finally broke free from his stupor. He lunged forward, yanking the mop from Autumn’s grasp and flinging it to the floor with a resounding crash. Rushing to Luna’s side, he was met with the sight of her barely able to stand, and his rage ignited like a wildfire.
“Autumn! How dare you treat us like this—you will regret it! Where is the hotel security? How can they allow such a disgrace to happen without intervening?” His voice was thunderous, filled with fury that seemed to reverberate through the very air around them.
Hector’s anger boiled over. It was one thing for Autumn to lash out at him and Simon, but now she had laid her hands on Luna, who had always been fragile. The thought of her suffering, perhaps even falling ill from this ordeal, made his blood boil. What if she couldn’t attend the expo tomorrow? The very idea was infuriating!
Autumn must have orchestrated this deliberately, he thought, her aim to sabotage Luna’s future, to prevent her from shining at the expo. Grinding his teeth, Hector let out a harsh snort, his eyes narrowing in fury. “Autumn, deep down, you know your skills can never compare to Luna’s. So you resort to these underhanded schemes to keep her from competing p>
“How can your heart be so twisted? Even if your little plan succeeds, you will never amount to anything significant. Even if you had a hundred years, you would never catch up to her. No matter what dirty tricks you employ, you will never measure up to Luna p>
With each word, his rage intensified, his entire body trembling with the force of his emotions. Autumn had crossed a line this time, and in that moment, he vowed to himself that he would never forgive her for this.
In the aftermath of the confrontation, the air hung heavy with the weight of unspoken truths and shattered illusions. Autumn’s fury, once a shield against her own insecurities, now lay exposed, revealing the fragility beneath her bravado. The venomous words she had hurled at Luna were not simply attacks; they were desperate attempts to mask her own shortcomings and fears. As Hector stood resolute at Luna’s side, the tide began to shift, illuminating the stark contrast between Autumn’s bitterness and the fragile strength of the woman she sought to belittle. In that moment, the realization dawned that the battle was not merely against one another, but against the societal chains that bound them, each woman fighting for her own place under the unforgiving gaze of judgment.
Luna, though battered by Autumn’s words, felt a flicker of hope igniting within her. Hector’s unwavering support was a balm to her wounded spirit, reminding her that she was not alone in this struggle. As the tension simmered, a newfound determination surged through her veins. The expo was not just a competition; it was a symbol of her resilience, a chance to reclaim her narrative and step into the light that Autumn sought to extinguish. With Hector by her side, she resolved to rise above the chaos, to transform the pain inflicted by Autumn into a catalyst for her own triumph. In that moment, the stars, once silent in their indifference, seemed to shimmer with the promise of a brighter future, and Luna knew that her wishes, long forgotten, were finally beginning to return.
