Temporary Luna, Permanent Heartbreak - Chapter 106: Chapter 106

His gaze was deep as he looked up at the sky. "The weather will be good tomorrow. How about accompanying me to play golf?"
"Sure!" Zara agreed enthusiastically.
After she left, Mr. Burnett walked over and saw the peace talisman in Jack's hand. He praised, "Miss Silvermoon is truly a thoughtful person."
Jack lowered his head and looked at the object in his hand, nodding. "Indeed, she is thoughtful."
By giving him the peace talisman before leaving, she made it clear that she didn't want to burden him.
After Zara returned to the hotel, Sterling also came back to his room.
As soon as he opened the door, someone followed him inside.
"Sterling," Celeste stood pitifully behind him, her voice soft and weak, looking powerless. "Why aren't you resting?"
Sterling looked at Celeste, his eyebrows slightly furrowing as he asked, "Why haven't you rested? Is something wrong?"
Celeste's body swayed, "Do you disappoint to me? I'm sorry; I wanted to help you, but I almost made things worse."
"No," Sterling shook his head, "I'm already happy that you want to help me."
"Really?" Celeste looked at him with hopeful eyes, but she still felt uneasy.
She wanted to make an impact on the matter of Alpha Anderson because she needed something significant to get Sterling's attention. After losing to Zara in the racing competition, she felt a thorn piercing her heart. She wanted to do everything possible to remove it.
She thought she could handle it this time, even though she knew that Williams had already invited the Thousand-Face Queen and offered to lend a hand.
But today, whether it was Williams revealing her ignorance of the situation with Alpha Anderson's mate or Zara's unexpected preference by Alpha Anderson, everything dealt a heavy blow to her pride, leaving her feeling ashamed.
Celeste felt stifled.
"Really," Sterling rubbed his temples, feeling tired after a long day.
Seeing him like this, Celeste decided not to say anything more and took a step back. "Then go rest now. Robert will come later, and we can all get together."
Sterling only made a sound of agreement before closing the door.
As Celeste watched the door close, the softness on her face faded a little. She turned around and unexpectedly met someone's gaze from across the hall—it was Zara.
At that moment, Celeste's perfect face showed a trace of crack.
Instinctively, she thought of the scene where Alpha Anderson refused to see Zara during the day.
The reason why Zara was looking at Celeste was purely accidental.
After a tiring day, she returned to the hotel and discovered that both Celeste and Sterling were also staying there, on the same floor.
Zara couldn't help but smirk slightly.
She could understand running into familiar faces back home, but why did they have to meet each other again abroad?
This smirk, to Celeste, seemed like a mocking gesture—a blatant mockery!
Celeste's anger surged, and she couldn't control her footsteps. She walked, clicking her heels, toward Zara.
Just as Zara opened the door, Celeste quickly blocked her way.
"Zara, how low are you willing to stoop? It's fine if you behave this way in Celesterra, but you're still sticking around abroad! Have you forgotten that you're the woman of the boss of Starlight Media?"
She had to be careful about her image in front of familiar faces back home, but here, she didn't need to care about it anymore and didn't even bother pretending.
Celeste stared at Zara, her eyes burning with anger.
At that moment, Zara saw Celeste but was genuinely surprised.
Zara's accidental gaze seemed to provoke Celeste.
"You think you're a goddess that everyone talks about, but look at you now—just like a shrew!"
Celeste could really come up with some ideas!
Was she really that dumb?
Zara didn't even bother to take her seriously and remained nonchalant, not responding.
Her silence, however, was misinterpreted by Celeste.
"Let me tell you this. I know you're still holding a grudge against Sterling for not choosing you. Are you here to sabotage things with Alpha Anderson?"
Celeste was good at coming up with ideas!
That she-wolf had way too much time on her hands to come up with such ludicrous ideas.
Zara didn't regard her highly and maintained her casual attitude.
The more Zara acted this way, the more agitated Celeste became.
Celeste had been pampered and praised by others for so long that she couldn't tolerate Zara's indifference. Instead of leaving, she pursed her lips and sneered.
Celeste raised her chin, using even more provocative words to attack Zara. "I know you're acting open-minded, but it's all just empty words. If you were truly open-minded, you wouldn't be meddling with Sterling. Perhaps the boss of Starlight Media is interested in you, and they might help you a little, even pulling some strings to let you meet Alpha Anderson. But if you continue to stick to Sterling like this, I'm afraid your sugar daddy will get tired of you. Then you'll be abandoned, and no other big shot will want to take you in."
This speech by Celeste carried multiple layers of meaning, each showing her contempt for Zara.
To Zara, her self-righteous words were simply ignorant!
Unable to hold back, Zara burst into laughter.
"Everyone says that Miss Celeste is a gentle women. But now, you seem more like a shrew."
"You!" Celeste was exposed and had lost all her face, causing her beautiful features to contort in anger.
Originally, she didn't want to make a scene with someone like Celeste. If she wanted to throw herself against the door and end her life, Zara could only comply.
She floated a faint smile, "Instead of wasting your time thinking about irrelevant matters, why not practice your seducing skills? After all, Miss Celeste still relies on that to make a living!"
It was clear that she was implying that she lacked real talent.
Celeste's brain became congested with anger, and she glared at Zara as if she wanted to devour her.
Seeing that she was incapable of any resistance, Zara shrugged her shoulders and pulled her away, entering the room.
Bang!
She closed the door right in front of her face.
Celeste: "..."
It took a long time for her to snap out of her trance after Zara disappeared.
What had she just done?
Why did she take her anger out on Zara?
Wasn't she the elegant and noble goddess Celeste, with grace, temperament, and beauty?
But just now, she had nothing, behaving like a insane!
Even she couldn't accept the image she had just shown, and Celeste was so flustered that she almost pulled her hair out. It took a lot of effort for her to restrain herself.
In the evening, Robert indeed arrived.
The four of them went to the hotel restaurant together.
Williams didn't look very good, and after they sat down, he relayed the information he had received from Zara to everyone.
Sterling's face tightened upon hearing that the Thousand-Face Queen had failed. Although he didn't say anything, it was evident that the failure had a significant impact on him.
"Wasn't it said before that the relationship between the Thousand Faced Queen and Alpha Anderson was extraordinary? The rumors were that as long as the Thousand Faced Queen got involved, Alpha Anderson would definitely agree. How could things turn out like this?" Celeste spoke with a graceful demeanor, casually expressing her thoughts.
Then she covered her mouth lightly, "Could it have something to do with Zara?"
Immediately, she apologized, "I'm sorry; I shouldn't have guessed randomly."
"Zara? Which Zara? Is she here too?" Robert asked sensitively, and his unrestrained face immediately contorted with disgust. "I'm telling you, it's definitely her doing!"
"This she-wolf has no shame! She was the one who insisted on getting bond dissolution, and now she's up to these tricks—disgusting!"
Robert had always loathed Zara, and Celeste's subtle hints ignited his anger even more. He started spewing a stream of hateful words about Zara.
"Robert, don't say that without evidence," Celeste pretended to advise while concealing a satisfied smile.
She wanted everyone to believe that Zara was responsible for today's incident.
"Do we need evidence for something like this? She's targeted you more than once!" Robert exploded in rage.
He looked at Sterling, "Sterling, she's trampled all over you multiple times, and you're still silent. How long will you keep tolerating her?"
What Robert truly cared about wasn't Zara's antics towards Sterling but rather her actions against his goddess, Celeste.
Sterling remained silent, still as quiet as ever. However, Williams couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
To be honest, he now despised being with these two man.
One was pretentious, and the other was foolish.
Boring.
If it weren't for Zara forbidding him from revealing the truth, he would have loved to throw the blame for the Thousand Faced Queen incident on these two.
"Zara is very fair-minded and has her principles. She won't hold grudges because of love, nor will she target anyone without reason. If she really targets someone, they should think about whether they've done something despicable to her." As he said this, his gaze settled on Celeste for a moment.
His expression was indifferent, and he spoke casually, not appearing too serious. However, that one glance was like a searchlight, probing into the darkest corner of Celeste's heart.
Her heart pounded, and she could hardly maintain her composure.
"Hey, Williams, do you like Zara by any chance? Why are you always speaking up for her?" Robert couldn't contain his anger and burst out.
