Chapter 319
"This signaled that Joseph was ready to go public with his relationship with Luna in front of everyone.
Soon enough, it seemed Luna would marry Joseph, catapulting the Jayden family to new heights of status.
""Well, I'll be!"" Chapman exclaimed, rushing forward to greet them. ""Luna, why didn't you give your granddad a heads-up that Joseph was back in town?""
All the guests flocked around them, showering the couple with flattery and praise.
""Joseph, you and our Luna are the perfect match, truly meant to be,"" one guest gushed.
""Mr. Joseph, it's an honor to meet you,"" another chimed.
""Mrs. Chapman, you're so fortunate to have such a precious daughter,"" praised another.
Meanwhile, Cassie watched from a distance, her corner empty of guests, as David stood beside her, his face a mask of shock. ""Cassie, he's...?""
""Yes."" She nodded, her expression tightening into a deep frown. She hadn't expected Joseph to come to her grandfather's birthday with Luna.
With Leo and Vera amid a divorce, Joseph's support for the Jayden family was a clear stance in favor of Luna. And there was Clark, who had almost cost her her life last time, yet he was siding with the Jaydens.
Cold to the core, a chill ran through her, yet she fought fiercely to control her anger.
From that moment on, they were adversaries.
But he was Joseph, one of Madison's elites. How could she possibly contend with that?
As her face grew paler and she seemed more distracted, David suddenly took her by the waist and said with deep conviction, ""Even if he's Joseph, I'm not letting go, Cassie. No use regretting now.""
Cassie blinked, smiling, ""You're reading too much into it. I'm just thinking that with him backing the Jaydens, it will be even harder to stand up against Vera.""
David pondered for a moment. ""Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You've only been in New York for a short while. Take it slow.""
""Yeah,"" Cassie replied, lost in thought.
Take it slow, she thought to herself.
If Joseph married Luna, the Jaydens' clout would be unshakeable.
Surrounded by admirers, Joseph caught a glimpse of Cassie out of the corner of his eye, with David's arm around her waist, her figure almost melting into his embrace.
The sight struck his eyes with an icy sting.
He kept a smile on his lips, but his eyes turned cold, the fury emanating from them so palpable that even the nearby guests took notice.
Thinking Joseph was overwhelmed by the crowd, Grandpa Chapman quickly said, “Joseph, take the seat, please. They’re about to serve dinner.”
Joseph strode to the table and sat down with Luna by his side.
Grandpa Chapman forcefully sat Leo next to Vera and whispered a stern warning, ""Joseph's interest in Luna is clear. If you even think about divorce again, I'll make you regret it.""
Leo was so angry that he felt a tightness in his chest, but he was rendered speechless.
""Cassie and David, come over,"" Margaret beckoned to Cassie.
As Cassie and David approached, Joseph casually glanced at David and asked, ""And who might this be?""
