Cedric looked up and saw the same little girl from earlier. Her fair face was now filled with tears, and her eyes were wide with panic, as if silently pleading for help.
He frowned and walked straight toward her. The woman holding Luna panicked a little. "Sorry, my daughter's just throwing a tantrum."
Cedric looked down at Luna with a stern look. "Do you know her?"
Luna shook her head. "She's a bad person! Daddy, save me!"
She then reached out her tiny hands toward him. Cedric's throat tightened, but he did not take her hand.
The woman quickly explained, "Sorry, my daughter would start calling random strangers 'daddy' whenever she's throwing a tantrum."
Cedric replied, "You say that she's your daughter, but do you have any proof?"
He glared coldly at the woman, whose eyes were now flickering with guilt. It was clear that she was hiding something.
Cedric's secretary, Kevin, immediately stepped forward and blocked the woman's path. "You should have photos or videos of her on your phone if she really is your daughter. Show us."
Realizing that her plan had failed, the woman hastily put Luna down. "I must have mistaken her for my daughter. Sorry."
Kevin immediately pinned the woman to the ground. Cedric looked down at the woman and said, "Send her to the police station."
Kevin nodded and motioned for the bodyguards to take the woman away. Luna glared at the woman and repeated herself angrily, "Bad woman! Bad woman!"
It seemed like it was the harshest insult that she knew. Cedric chuckled at how feisty Luna was.
Luna then turned around to look up at him, embarrassed.
Cedric calmed himself down a little and asked, "Where's your family?"
Luna just shook her head.
"Then what about your brother?"
She pouted and replied, "Big bro is bad! So I'm ignoring him!"
