Theon was determined to win over Luna. The main reason was that he could establish connections with Philip. If that happened, his future in Chetvine would be absolutely unstoppable.

Mikayla looked a bit embarrassed and said through gritted teeth, "Mr. Orben, I already told you that General Phelan doesn't know what's good for her. When she found out Andrew had been kicked out, she immediately turned around and left. She even said she won’t be coming back to Sovereign’s Apothecary anymore. She’s acting like we’re the ones desperate to have her here!"

Theon’s expression darkened, and he exploded in fury. "So why didn’t you make her stay?"

Mikayla was shocked. "Make her stay? Mr. Orben, why should I? I’m part of the Owens family. Why should I lower myself to beg her to stay?"

Theon roared in rage. "Idiot! You may be from the Owens family, but she’s General Turman’s prized student. More importantly, she’s a major general in the military with real power and genuine ability under her command. Do you seriously think you can even compare to her? Mikayla, you’ve completely messed this up!"

Mikayla’s face flushed red as she froze, completely stunned. She had never seen Theon, who had always been polite, lose his temper like that. His words hit her pride like a knife.

"Mr. Orben, I don’t understand why you’d say that. What do you mean, how can I compare to her? In what way am I inferior to General Phelan?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and Mikayla ended up shouting as well.

Caden and the others standing nearby felt their scalps go numb. They never expected that Mikayla, usually so understanding, polite, gentle, and graceful, would actually argue with Theon.

"Mikayla, say less. Mr. Orben didn’t mean it the way you think…" Someone tried to mediate with an awkward laugh.

Mikayla’s face was ice–cold as she stared at Theon, not backing down an inch.

Theon was beside himself with rage, pointing his finger at her, but finally let out a frustrated grunt and lowered it. "Fine. I was a bit impulsive just now. Don’t take it to heart. If Luna wants to leave, let her leave."

Deep down, he did not think Mikayla’s value could match Luna’s. However, the Owens family was already showing signs of upgrading from a wealthy clan to a true power family. Hence, it was definitely not the time to offend her.

Moreover, Mikayla appeared innocent on the surface but actually had a million schemes running through her head. Theon himself did not want to completely burn bridges with her either.

Meanwhile, after discovering that Andrew had actually been expelled from Sovereign’s Apothecary, Luna was first shocked. However, she immediately felt an indescribable worry in her heart.

She returned to the military vehicle and quickly ordered Leslie, "Let’s go to the Lloyd family estate."

Leslie looked confused. "Andrew’s not here?"

Luna shook her head. "No. Enough, don’t ask so many questions… Just drive there now."

Leslie was somewhat shocked. This side of Luna was extremely rare. If one did not know better, they would think something had happened to Philip.

In Leslie and the others‘ understanding, aside from the military’s soul figure, Philip, no one else, not even Luna’s own family, could make her lose her composure like this.

However, at this moment, Luna anxiously stared out the car window, at a complete loss. She looked like a lovesick girl who had just lost someone she could not afford to lose.
