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
