Moonlit Betrayal (Alpha Rick)

Chapter 112 

Jenna looked at all the members of the Lewis family present, her emotions somewhat heightened. 

She said, “While everyone is here today, I want to apologize to my sister for everything I have done in the past. 

“In the days to come, no matter what Layla needs my help with will step forward. The rest of my life will be dedicated to 

her.” 

The royals and nobles who were chatting immediately turned their attention toward her. 

“Isn’t that Jenna? I remember there were rumors that she was taken away. They searched for her for a long time, and now she’s suddenly back?” 

“There must be something we don’t know about. But I wonder what she did wrong to say something like this.” 

Several middle–aged members of the Lewis family’s relatives couldn’t help but whisper among themselves, “With so many people here, this is quite embarrassing.” 

“No matter the mistake, she is still a princess. Such a humble attitude really doesn’t look good.” 

“It seems like the other members of the Lewis family are quite indifferent toward her.” 

Despite the crowd trying to keep their voices down, Mason and Jasmine still heard the murmurs. 

Given their status and the many eyes on them, they felt they had to make their stance clear. Jenna had already lowered herself so much. If they continued to treat her coldly and refused to forgive her, it would only make them a laughingstock. 

Jasmine looked over at Mason and waited for his response. 

Although he was still reluctant, he realized that with everyone watching and talking, his actions couldn’t solely be guided by his feelings. 

Mason said, “That’s enough! 

“There are of so many people here. What kind of behavior is this?” 

Even if Jenna had done so, given their status, they would need to maintain their dignity. So, she deliberately chose this moment to speak such words. 

This was all calculated by Jenna. 

She said, “No, if you don’t forgive me, then I won’t give up. I truly realize the wrongs I’ve done. If I can’t be forgiven by my family, what’s the point of living? I might as well jump from here 

Jenna’s eyes were reddened, and she looked genuinely remorseful. Who wouldn’t be moved by that? 

“Alright, let the past be the past. Stop crying. With so many people watching, what are your doing? Jasmine’s tone softened. significantly. 

-Lola pressed her lips together, walked over, and helped Jenna up Jenna, we’re family. I’m not angry with you anymore.” 

Jenna clung to Lola’s arm. “Layla, as long as you’re not angry, I still have the courage to live with the Lewis family.” 

Ethan, who had been sitting quietly at the back, frowned. He thought, ‘Something’s not right. Jenna could have chosen any time to apologize, but she chose to do it in front of so many people. She obviously has an ulterior motive. It’s hard to refuse in such a setting, especially given our parents‘ status. Only by forgiving Jenna could they show magnanimity. 

Jasmine then tried to ease the awkward atmosphere by smiling. Today is a festival. Let’s not let this little episode affect our festive mood. Come, try the desserts and red wine I’ve prepared for everyone.” 

Jenna, Lola, and other younger members of the family sat at the edge of the deck, enjoying the sea breeze. 

Ethan’s gaze lingered on Jenna, trying to find something in her eyes. 

But she quickly noticed Ethan’s stare and deliberately avoided it 

Jenna suddenly asked, “Layla, I heard you’re about to marry Sco 

Lola paused for a moment. “Who told you that, Jenna?” She then wondered, ‘Scott and I aren’t even engaged, so how could there be talk of marriage? 

“I heard it somewhere, but I don’t remember who said it,” Jenna said with a meaningful smile. 

Lola looked down, her eyes reflecting complex emotions. 

In fact, if things continued to develop without any hitches, she truly would end up marrying Scott. 

Ethan seemed to have something to say to Jenna but hesitated to speak. He swirled the red wine in his hand, giving her a look that suggested she shouldn’t speak carelessly. 

She understood him but didn’t want to follow his wishes.. 

Jenna said. “Ethan. I heard Dominick is your friend.” 

Ethan frowned, “Indeed he is. What about it?” 

She replied. “Nothing much. I just wanted to kindly remind you that your friend is not as simple as he seems, and he’s not as gentle as he appears. 

“What I mean is…I’ve told you, the injuries on me were caused by Dominick. Maybe he was acting out of a desire for revenge, but he didn’t consider that I am also a member of the Lewis family. If he can treat me this way, if you ever upset him, he might do the same to you.” 

Jenna began her plan. 

This plan started with Lola and then moved to Ethan. Jenna attempted to brainwash them one at a time. 

A hint of doubt lingered in his eyes as he said, “Dominick shouldn’t be that kind of person. Though he has a personal grudge against you, he would at least consult me about such matters, not act rashly without a word. 

“Maybe you’re mistaken, or there’s some misunderstanding. I’ll decide what to do after I contact him.” 

Jenna grew even more confident, saying, “Ethan, haven’t you noticed 

time? 

Ou laven’t been able to contact Dominick for a long 

“Do you 

know why you can’t reach Dominick? Because after what he did to me, he doesn’t have the face to see you, considering I’m your younger sister.” 

Lola’s grip on her glass tightened, and she thought, Dominick… Did you really d 

this?” 

She couldn’t help but recall the refined man who was always shrouded in mystery. 

Lola mused, “Dominick has saved me many times, and deep down, I don’t believe he could be such a person. But Jenna’s words sound so real, and Dominick has indeed not shown himself since.” 

She felt uncomfortably unsettled, thinking. It seems I haven’t fully understood Dominick after all. But thinking about it, 

Dominick has always been mystery. He would appear out of nowhere when I was in danger, without explaining why he was helping me. It’s like he knows many secrets about me that even I’m unaware of, like the scars on my arm and my fondness for Gardenias. So, has Dominick always had an ulterior motive? What exactly is his identity? 

Just then, a loud snap rang out. 

Lola’s grip faltered, and the glass in her hand suddenly dropped onto the deck. 

Ethan worriedly checked on her. “Layla? Are you okay?” 

Lola gently shook her head and managed a weak smile as she replied, “I’m fine.” 

Jenna then observed Lola with a peculiar look in her eyes. “Ethan, Layla’s clothes are dirty. Why don’t you go get some 

tissues for her?”
