Kidnapped and Rejected The Return of Alpha’s Luna (Janet and Daran) novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265 

Janet froze on her spot. 

She didn’t know what to say or how to react

She did get Lord Kurt to play along with her actbut looked like that got her into bigger trouble

Yet this reminded me of another issue.” 

Daran changed to a more relaxed posture and looked at Janet intently, Your 

youngest daughter told me that she is already married with kids. How can a married woman be my Luna?” 

Lord Kurt looked nervous

He mopped at his brow with the back of his hand and said, II believe that there is some misunderstandingMay I have a word alone with my daughter? If your majesty approves?” 

You may,said Daran coldly. But let me remind you that lying to the King is a serious crime. Kurt promised to send a daughter to the Luna screening. So you better keep up with that promise. You don’t want to live with the consequence of disappointing me.‘ 

II understand.Lord Kurt stuttered, Janine, come with me!” 

He shot Janet a warning look before heading to the door

Janet bent to Aspen and asked him to stay with the maids before following Lord Kurt 

outside

As soon as they were alone in the hallway, Lord Kurt turned to her and snapped: -You are going to that screening!” 

Janet couldn’t believe this guy, Wow let’s slow down for a second. Are you crazy? I am not even your real daughter!” 

Lord Kurt sneered, Precisely. And let me guess. You are a golddigger who stole my family name and snuck into the meetings, hoping to land a rich guy somehow. At some other time, I would expose you to the King in a heartbeat. Yet today, you are in luck. I happen to need a daughter to attend the screening.” 

What happens to your other daughters? It is their name on that damn list, right?Janet growled

If they are willing to come, why do I need you?Lord Kurt waved his hand impatiently, Now spill it. Quick. Are you willing to make this deal with me or not

Go to the screening and spare me from the King’s rage. And I will keep my mouth shut about a certain identity thief.” 

Janet was gradually getting a sense of what was happening

Lord Kurt’s daughter’s name was on the list of Luna candidates

Yet his real daughters couldn’t attend for whatever reasons it might be

Just when Lord Kurt was confronting this to the King, she walked in

Wasn’t this convenient

Janet rubbed her forehead in frustration

She couldn’t join that Luna screening. Hell, she couldn’t avoid Daran enough

But if she didn’t, her identity will get exposed

And Daran would start asking questions

It was bad news either way

Quick. The clock is ticking!Lord Kurt urged, Do we have a deal or not?” 

Janet let out a long sigh

She blamed Medline, who swore to her that this identity was safe

Safe her ass

Fine!she gritted eventually, I will go to this thing. But you need to keep your side of the promise as well. Not a word about who I am!” 

A grin appeared on Lord Kurt’s lips, You bet. But did you already say to the King that you are married with kids?” 

That won’t be a problem. I will simply let him know that I am divorced already,said Janet irritably

Here was what she thought

There would be tons of great women at the screening. A divorced woman who would not show her face wouldn’t catch too much attention

She would simply keep a low profile and get this thing over with

When Daran chose his destined one, she and Aspen would be on their way as well

They worked out the plan and headed back to the great hall

My King.” 

Lord Kurt bowed to Daran with a flattering smile

Janine is willing to take her sister’s place and run for your Luna. It is her great honor.” 

Daran raised an eyebrow, Is that so? Then what about her current husband?” 

Janet stared at her own feet and said in a whisper, I am divorced already.” 

Daran let out a snort

There was no way to tell whether he was happy or mad from that snort

Fine. Then ask the elders to bring the other candidates here and we will have the 

first screening right now,said Daran nonchalantly

Right now

Janet was caught off guard

It was happening a lot faster than she expected

But since she was aiming to win, she didn’t need any preparation either

Momen’s later, the door opened up and a group of ladies stepped inside

They all dressed up in fancy gowns and wore gorgeous jewelry that gleamed glamorously under the light

Their presence made Janet look like a lowly maid

An elder came with the ladies. He stood in front of Daran and presented this lovely crowd to the King

My King, may I present to youthe Luna candidates.” 

All the girls stood in a line and curtseyed to Daran, smiling sheepishly

They were all very young and attractive and gorgeous

Janet couldn’t even pick out a top one among them. They all looked perfect

Yet Daran looked bored

He didn’t even take a single glance at the woman who might become his future 

Luna

His eyes flickered to Janet instead and called out her name abruptly

Janine Kurt.” 

Janet gave a shudder and quickly turned to him, Yes, my king.” 

Go stand with the other candidates. Or do you need time to get ready?he said in a sarcastic sort of way

Janet gulped and hastily walked to stand with the other girls, who were all staring at her in shock

Apparently, they found it hard to believe that a shabbydressing woman like her was 

also running for Luna

Janet took her spot at the end of the line

She could feel herself stand outand not in a good way

Just then, Aspen broke free from the maids and ran over to her, crying, Lady Kurt! What are you doing with these ladies?” 

UmmJanet hesitated for a second and said, I am playing a little game with them.” 

Then what do you call a win?asked the boy innocently

For the first round, we are simply looking at posture, figure, and appearance.The elder said, So in short, the prettiest candidate wins.” 

Aspen widened his eyes as a bright smile came across his face

Then we have a winner already!he announced proudly and raised Janet’s hand

Lady Kurt is the most beautiful woman here!”
