Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 770
Joshua sighed and gently patted Fiona’s back to console her before they entered the hall with his arm around her.
Following behind them, Jude looked at their retreating figures and let out a sigh.
By the time Luna and Shannon returned to the hall, the party had already started. Bonnie was onstage, welcoming the guests along with the emcee.
When she caught sight of Luna, Bonnie immediately leaped off the stage and scuttled toward her. As soon as she reached Luna, she grabbed hold of her hand and said, “Let’s go.“
“Go where?“
“Go on stage with me.“ Bonnie winked at Luna and said, “Initially, there were going to be three of us: me, Jason, and the emcee, but now that Jason’s in jail, I want you to take his spot.“
With that, she smiled and could not help teasing Luna, “Did you genuinely think I invited you here to mooch off my food like Shannon?“
Shannon, who at this moment was mooching off the food at Bonnie’s party, was speechless to hear this.
Luna lifted her head to glance at the stage. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.“
Luna did not understand why Bonnie wanted her on stage. The theme of her party was Bonnie’s regained freedom after having dumped Jason, so Luna did not see the point of her being on stage as well.
”Come on.” To her surprise, however, Shannon, too, started persuading her. ”Since the theme of tonight is freedom, you should join Bonnie onstage so you can regain your freedom as well, Director Luna.”
Luna contemplated Shannon’s suggestion for a moment, then finally agreed.
Since Joshua was at the party too, she decided it would be interesting to declare her independence before him, the man she had loved in the past.
Bonnie was delighted that Luna had agreed to her request. She immediately dragged her onto the stage to stand behind the emcee, whispering in her ear while waiting for the emcee to finish his speech.
When Joshua and Fiona entered the hall, the first thing they saw was Luna and Bonnie onstage.
Jude glanced at the stage and curled his lips into a disdainful smirk. ”She can’t wait, can she?” He then patted Joshua’s shoulder and added, ”I guess Luna’s already prepared for this.”
Joshua narrowed his eyes and watched Luna coldly but did not say another word.
The emcee soon finished his speech, and the party officially began.
Bonnie let go of Luna’s hand and made her way to the center of the stage. She picked up a microphone and smiled at the audience. ”Hello , everyone. I know that my face has been on the headline of every newspaper in Banyan City today. Everyone is making fun of me for having fallen in love with a scumbag and laughing at the fact that my fiancé was arrested the day before our engagement party.
“Maybe a lot of you think that I shouldn’t have proceeded with this party because an engagement party without a groom will just become the joke of the town. Contrary to that, I still decided to go ahead with it so that I can announce to all of you that I, Bonnie Craig, have regained my freedom and independence.“
With that, she turned around and glanced at Luna with a smile. “My good friend Luna, too, has regained her freedom and independence.“
As soon as she mentioned Luna’s name, all eyes immediately fixated on Luna’s face.
Luna felt a little shy and did not know what to do apart from smiling at the crowd.
“To celebrate my friend’s escape from emotional turmoil…“ Bonnie picked up the microphone and walked toward Luna, beaming as she grabbed Luna’s hand and said, “I have a very important announcement to make.
“I’ll be gifting all the properties under my name, worth over ten billion dollars, to my friend right here.“
