Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

Luna's rage surged. The audacity of a mere waitress to trigger her now was beyond belief.
In an instant, her hand shot forward, delivering a sharp slap. "Are you blind? Do you have any idea how much this dress costs?
Your entire salary wouldn't even begin to cover it!"
The waitress rushed to apologize, saying, "I'm sorry, it was an accident. Allow me to help you clean your dress."
Luna's expression remained scornful as she fixed her gaze on the waitress. "Do you even recognize the brand of this dress? It's
unlikely you can clean it adequately! Hand-washing simply won't suffice." Feeling embarrassed by the situation, the waitress
proposed, "I'm terribly sorry. May I cover the dry cleaning costs for you?"
"Dry cleaning costs? Are you truly unaware or simply feigning ignorance?" Luna shot back, her tone dripping with disdain.
Suddenly, she lunged forward and delivered a sharp jab to the waitress's head. "This dress is made from high-quality fabric.
Whether it's hand-washed or dry-cleaned, these stains are nearly impossible to remove. You were deliberately attempting to ruin
it, weren't you?"
"Ms. Maynard, I swear it wasn't intentional! I'm truly sorry!" the waitress replied, her voice brimming with remorse.
"Apologies won't suffice. If they did, we wouldn't need the police, would we? I already knew someone like you would envy the
dress I'm wearing.
"But sadly for you, you'll never have the opportunity to wear something like this in your life. That's why you're filled with jealousy.
"You purposely spilled the drink on me, ruining my dress, and now you're here, pretending to be innocent, seeking sympathy as if
you're some helpless victim, am I right?"
Luna's boiling anger surged forth as she directed her frustration at the waitress.
Although she couldn't afford to offend the guests present, berating a waitress came naturally to her, especially since she was
hosting today's banquet.
Just then, Mia intervened. She glanced at the waitress before addressing Luna, "Luna, don't assign blame where it doesn't
belong. She hasn't wronged you."
"She hasn't wronged me? Look at my dress stained with red wine! Is this the level of service provided by Aide Castle Hotel?"

"This incident was clearly accidental, and I saw it unfold. It's apparent that you inadvertently bumped into the waitress' tray,
resulting in the mishap.
"Furthermore, it's just a dress, and considering the status of everyone here, it's reasonable to assume that we all have spare
outfits.
"Ms. Maynard, your reaction seems excessive and lacks maturity. If Mr. Shelbert were to become aware of this, how do you
suppose he would regard you?" "Leave my Dad out of this," Luna sharply retorted.
Despite projecting confidence, she couldn't shake a lingering sense of unease.
With her newfound status, Luna knew she couldn't afford to act impulsively as she once did; she had to be mindful of her public
image.
Shooting a sharp glare at the waitress, Luna delivered her warning. "You should count yourself fortunate today. I'll let this incident
pass, but remember this warning for the future. If such a mishap occurs again, your paycheck won't be enough to cover the
damage to my dress!"
Having vented her frustrations, Luna turned on her heel and made her way to the restroom to change her attire.
Mia couldn't overlook Luna's arrogance and hostility, reinforcing her suspicions about Luna's hypocritical nature.
She believed that once Luna gained power, she would probably seek revenge against those from her past. "Ms. Lane, I
apologize sincerely for the inconvenience," the waitress muttered nervously.
Addressing the waitress, Mia advised, "You should offer your apologies promptly. Such accidents can occur frequently, so you
must be quick to avoid trouble. Not every situation will end as fortunately as this one. It's essential to learn how to protect
yourself."
After dismissing the waitress, Mia couldn't help but glance at Jasmine. Despite her composed smile, it lacked the innocence she
once exuded.
However, the banquet veered unexpectedly with the arrival of two uninvited guests-elderly individuals whom Luna immediately
recognized as Jasmine's maternal grandparents.
