Luna Lyons frowned, surprised at her mother’s quick defeat in the verbal duel with Claire Donovan, whose sharp wit remained as formidable as ever. “Claire Donovan, still as sharp–tongued as ever, I see!”

Claire’s smile didn’t waver as she suddenly reached out towards Luna. Luna instinctively stepped back, her eyes wary as she scrutinized Claire. Claire’s smile deepened as she stepped forward and slapped Luna’s shoulder playfully. “Why dodge? It’s just a pat. I’ve actually missed you!”

Although Claire’s touch was light, Luna felt it sting. She glared fiercely at Claire, clearly unable to maintain composure around her enemy. She brushed off Claire’s hand and wiped her shoulder as if it was tainted, her eyes flashing with venom. “Back off! Don’t touch me! You think you’ve won once and you can gloat? Let me tell you, I’m here to represent Qin Shi Jewelry, and with my popularity, forget about stealing the spotlight at the jewelry exhibition!”

Claire’s heart sank; she hadn’t anticipated Mia Ashworth bringing Luna as their brand ambassador. She had thought bringing Suzanne Jenkins for Sinclaire Jewelry was a trump card, unaware Mia had a similar plan.

Watching Claire’s frown, Luna’s confidence soared. Her lips curled in arrogance, hands crossed over her chest, radiating a sense of superiority. “I know you’ve got Suzanne Jenkins, but she’s just a domestic actress. How many here would recognize her?”

Her smirk widened, “But I have a place in both European and American circles. In terms of fame, can Suzanne Jenkins really compete with me?”

Claire’s laughter intensified, her eyes mocking as she stared at Luna, her derision unmasked. “You said it yourself – you’re famous in the West. But this is Southeast Asia. How many here know you?”

Cassie Palmer burst out laughing next to Claire, not sparing Luna any dignity. Luna’s face turned from anger to pale, struggling to find a retort but failing. Her awkwardness was embarrassingly obvious.

Mia Ashworth shook her head in resignation. It seemed neither she nor her daughter could match Claire in verbal sparring. “Luna,” she softly patted Luna’s shoulder, calming the rising storm within her. Luna turned, lips pressed tightly, brows twisted in frustration.
