Linda wasn't completely foolish . A possibility dawned on her , and she turned to Ashley with a cold expression . " Ashley , were you pretending to be sick ? Why would you lie to us ? " They had missed Luna's wedding because of Ashley's illness . If this was all a lie ... How could they ever face Luna again ? For a split second , panic flashed across Ashley's face . How did that idiot Luna get hold of her medical records ? When did she secretly investigate her ? She didn't think Luna had it in her ... Ashley knew she couldn't show weakness in front of Linda , or all her efforts would be wasted . She took a deep breath , quickly composed herself , and said innocently , " I wasn't pretending . " I've always had health issues , but many hospitals couldn't pinpoint the cause . " Her voice grew faint , filled with feigned disappointment . " Everyone wants to be healthy . There's no benefit in faking illness . " But Luna ... I never expected you to have my complete medical history . Why go through so much trouble to investigate me ? What are you trying to achieve ? " As she spoke , she began coughing uncontrollably , her lips turning pale . No one would doubt she was genuinely ill . Brant and Linda were heartbroken . Catching her breath , Ashley continued , " Luna , are you trying to make them think I'm faking it ? To drive a wedge between us ? " Are you afraid I'll steal Linda away ? But I never wanted to take anything from you ... " Ashley's ability to win over Linda and Brant wasn't just about playing the victim . With a few well - chosen words , she had redirected the blame onto Luna . Linda , who had felt a flicker of guilt , now looked at Luna with suspicion . Frowning , she demanded , " That's right , Luna . Why did you dig up Ashley's medical records ? Weren't you two close ? You even said you were happy to have her in the family . " Was it all an act ? Could she not accept Ashley's presence and was now scheming behind their backs ? pointm Linda couldn't believe the daughter she raised would become like this , and she felt a deep sense of disappointment . Facing Linda's accusatory gaze , Luna could only let out a bitter laugh . She lowered her eyes and said coldly , " Whether she stays with the Brown family or not , it has nothing to do with me anymore . Since you weren't at the wedding , there's something you probably don't know . " The three of them looked at her , puzzled . Luna enunciated each word clearly . " I'm married now . I only came back today to collect my things . I won't be back to bother you again . " They could dote on Ashley all they wanted - it was no longer her concern . Her words elicited mixed reactions . Ashley's eyes lit up with glee , Linda stared in shock , and Brant looked utterly bewildered . She curled her lips into a mocking smile . " You're not the only man in Yuen willing to marry me , Brant . " Brant's expression darkened , his face tense . " Luna , I know I was wrong to miss the wedding , but you shouldn't say things like that just to provoke me ! " Everyone in Yuen knew Luna was his woman . Who would dare marry her ? Luna couldn't be bothered to explain . She brushed past them and headed to her room . She had moved her household registration out when she started university , which now made it easier to cut ties with the Brown family . After grabbing her household register , and a few clothes , she wheeled her suitcase downstairs . Brant and the others were still in the living room . They turned at the sound of her footsteps . " You're really married ? " Brant shot to his feet . Just moments ago , he had been comforting Ashley . Now , his attention was entirely on Luna . Even Linda looked stunned , her brow furrowed in confusion . " You're just saying this to spite me , aren't you ? " Brant stared at Luna , his voice urgent . " There's no way you married someone else . " She loved him so much - she always forgave him , no matter what he did . How could she remarry just because he missed one wedding ? But Luna didn't even glance at Brant . She simply pulled her suitcase toward the door . Brant stood rigid , his hands clenched into fists at his sides , but he didn't go after her . This was just another one of her games to get his attention . She had always been the one to apologize before . This time would be no exception ! Send Gifts 。 20 In PP .
