Female Novel
Chapter 1024
Raymond's expression shifted. It would be truly remarkable if there were still shares within the Barrett family. If they had this connection, he wouldn't have to worry about lacking a family to collaborate with in the future. Even the Lane family paled in comparison to such a connection.
Sharon was utterly devastated. As she stared at Luna's smug expression, she realized she had been deceived and left in ignorance like a fool for the past five years. No woman could endure her husband's infidelity, let alone witness the children of his mistress snatch away the Barrett family's rights!
She snatched the kettle next to her and hurled it at Luna's face, screaming frantically, "Does that insignificant brat you brought into this world have any right to claim to be part of our Barrett family?" Luna was suddenly scalded by boiling water, causing her to scream in agony. The situation quickly turned chaotic for a moment.
Mia watched the scene from the side and was stunned. A drop of water from the kettle which splashed on the back of her hand felt like she had just been stung.
She could not imagine the excruciating pain Luna experienced when that kettle of water had been poured directly on her body!
"Are you okay?" Timothy asked as he took Mia's hand and placed it in the ice bucket used to chill the wine on the table.
Mia was momentarily stunned. "Actually, I'm totally fine. Only a drop of water from the kettle fell on me."
"The back of your hand is red. What if there are scars?" Timothy said in a serious tone as he squeezed her wrist.
Mia experienced a distinct sensation on her wrist, causing her to display an unusual expression.novelbin

Luckily, she was seated on the other side, avoiding the scalding water with only a minor splatter.
On the other hand, Raymond ended up being scalded by a significant amount of hot water. Jasmine stepped forward immediately to grab Raymond and said with a worried look, "Dad, are you okay? You've been splashed with boiling water! Let me wipe it off for you right away."
Raymond was furious. He never expected Sharon to pour boiling water on Luna directly. His hand was burned, and it was now throbbing with pain.
Luna stood there, screaming alone, while nobody stepped forward to offer her assistance. The situation turned chaotic.

"Are you blind? I've been burned. Fetch me some ice cubes!"
"There are ice cubes on the table. I'll get them for you right away."
Luna angrily exclaimed, "Hurry up! I'm in so much pain!"
However, when the waiter approached the table, he discovered that the ice bucket had already been used. Mia hesitated. "Should I just let her use it?" After all, she didn't wasn't scalded at all.
The waiter quickly replied, "Thank you."
She had just pulled her hand away when Timothy firmly pushed it back in. He said in a serious tone, "Your hand is not healed yet."
Mia fell silent for a moment before saying, "I think I'm okay."
Could he not clearly see who was seriously injured? Luna was the person whom Sharon intentionally splashed with her own hands, not her!
Timothy frowned. "The burn needs to be soaked for at least half an hour. You must not remove your hand until the secretary brings the burn medicine."
Raymond felt a burning pain on the back of his hand, and he noticed that Mia didn't get burned at all. A few drops of hot water splashing her hand shouldn't cause any injuries.
Jasmine couldn't help but ask, "Mia, are you seriously injured?"
