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 the latter.

“I wasn’t expecting to meet you here! Did you come 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 glass 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 glass 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 glass 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 glance between Aleena and the waiter who just left, Gianna figured that

the waiter wouldn’t have the guts to come 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 delay 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 glass down in

search of some juice. However, a loud slap 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

the commotion happened, only to see Kate having collapsed on the floor, as Luca seemed

to be scolding her. The sight of it triggered a spontaneous reaction in Gianna as she

slapped 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 the

latter 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 the latter. 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
