Kidnapped and Rejected – The Return of Alpha’s Luna by Moon Claw

Chapter 265

Janet froze on her spot.

She didn’t know what to say or how to react.

She did get Lord Kurt to play along with her act…but looked like that got her into bigger trouble.

“Yet this reminded me of another issue.”

Daran changed to a more relaxed posture and looked at Janet intently, “Your

youngest daughter told me that she is already married with kids. How can a married woman be my Luna?”

Lord Kurt looked nervous.

He mopped at his brow with the back of his hand and said, “I–I believe that there is some misunderstanding…May I have a word alone with my daughter? If your majesty approves…?”

“You may,” said Daran coldly. “But let me remind you that lying to the King is a serious crime. Kurt promised to send a daughter to the Luna screening. So you better keep up with that promise. You don’t want to live with the consequence of disappointing me.‘

“I—I understand.” Lord Kurt stuttered, “Janine, come with me!”

He shot Janet a warning look before heading to the door.

Janet bent to Aspen and asked him to stay with the maids before following Lord Kurt

outside.

As soon as they were alone in the hallway, Lord Kurt turned to her and snapped: “-You are going to that screening!”

Janet couldn’t believe this guy, “Wow let’s slow down for a second. Are you crazy? I am not even your real daughter!”

Lord Kurt sneered, “Precisely. And let me guess. You are a gold–digger who stole my family name and snuck into the meetings, hoping to land a rich guy somehow. At some other time, I would expose you to the King in a heartbeat. Yet today, you are in luck. I happen to need a daughter to attend the screening.”

“What happens to your other daughters? It is their name on that damn list, right?“– Janet growled.

“If they are willing to come, why do I need you?” Lord Kurt waved his hand impatiently, “Now spill it. Quick. Are you willing to make this deal with me or not?

Go to the screening and spare me from the King’s rage. And I will keep my mouth shut about a certain identity thief.”

Janet was gradually getting a sense of what was happening.

Lord Kurt’s daughter’s name was on the list of Luna candidates.

Yet his real daughters couldn’t attend for whatever reasons it might be.

Just when Lord Kurt was confronting this to the King, she walked in.

…Wasn’t this convenient?

Janet rubbed her forehead in frustration.

She couldn’t join that Luna screening. Hell, she couldn’t avoid Daran enough!

But if she didn’t, her identity will get exposed.
