Luna just sat down in front of Michael when he laughed. He sipped on his tea as he shot Luna a wink.“The reporters have been waiting for you for a long time!”Luna paused a little before realizing outside the floor-length window of Bamboo Palace were a few paparazzi hiding in the dark, taking shots of them.Luna furrowed her brows. “You called the paparazzi?”“Of course.” Michael smiled. “The status of me being the Lynch family’s Second Young Master was reinstated by you last night, darling fiancee. You’re so nice to me, and plus, you’re my fiancée. Naturally, I’d want the whole world to know that we were on a date!”Luna narrowed her eyes fiercely. She immediately drew the curtains.“How despicable!”Michael laughed. “Thank you for the praise.”He leaned back nonchalantly, looking at Luna. “But, let me remind you that I am now your fiancé. You can simply insult me in any way you like, but all these in other people’s eyes are just us flirting with each other.“I, on the other
Luna narrowed her eyes, looking at this man who thought too highly of himself.It was because she did not want to get involved with people like Michael, and that was why she was willing to offer money to settle this incident.Luna did not feel that 200,000 dollars were little. After all, the engagement was decided at the last minute the night before. From beginning to end, Michael did not lose out on anything.Luna did not know where he got the courage and confidence from. How dare he ask her for half of Joshua’s fortune.Luna took a deep breath, suppressing the rage in her heart as she then shot Michael a dagger-like stare. “Micheal, I know you want to go up against Joshua. I also know that you want the Lynch Group assets in his hands, but…”Luna sneered. “You want to use my marriage as capital to get Joshua’s assets? Aren’t you being a little delusional? I’m the one making a deal with you. I’m the one who doesn’t want to get married to you. Not Joshua. Do you think you’ll be abl
“No need to thank me. I would’ve done it, too.”The man’s voice was deep and charming. It had hints of mockery and teasing in them, too.Michael paused for a while and subconsciously turned around to look. The man holding him up was no one else but his stepbrother, Joshua.Joshua was sitting in his wheelchair. His gaze was flat.“Second Young Master Michael, you really can’t take a beating, can you? Such a petite woman like Luna only slapped you once, yet you can’t even stand properly already. Adrian always emphasized health, so how did he bring you up so badly?”Michael’s eyes widened. He licked his lips and looked at Joshua with rage in his eyes.“Adrian is also your father!”Joshua raised his brows and laughed. “Is he worthy to be my father?”Then, Joshua rolled his wheelchair over to Luna and looked at her calmly. “So you came here to flirt with him once the rain subsided?”Joshua emphasized the word ‘flirt’. Luna pursed her lips. Clearly, Joshua had overheard Michael talk
Seeing Joshua stop, a hint of delight flashed across Michael’s eyes.This trick worked! Joshua still cared about Luna!Michael immediately took a deep breath and continued his threats, “Joshua, you might not know this, but Luna had offered me two hundred thousand dollars to call off the marriage, but I turned it down. If you’re willing to recognize me as the Second Young Master of the Lynch family, I will—”Joshua sneered and turned around. He looked at Michael coldly.“Why should I get you to call off the marriage?” Joshua interrupted Michael. His deep gaze bore into Michael. His tone was aloof and condescending.“Since you like to be her fiancé so much, you can continue being her fiancé. We’ll take it slowly.”Then, Joshua turned his wheelchair around and left.Michael was stunned momentarily before he angrily chased after Joshua.“Don’t you care about Luna? I am her fiancé, and I have the right to do things to her!”Joshua did not even turn around. “Then, she has the right
The moment he got in the car, Joshua kept his gaze forward. His tone was indifferent when he spoke.Luna paused for a while. She knew that he was talking about her planning to give Michael 200,000 dollars to call off the marriage.She sighed and said, “I just didn’t want to cause more trouble.”Michael was a scoundrel. The night before, because she was threatened and forced to agree to get engaged with him, the problems that arose after that would come one after the other.Just like the so-called flirting that just happened, it would happen again.It was because Luna foresaw that happening that she was willing to use the money to get Michael to call off the marriage.At that moment, all she could think of was how to help Neil regain his memories and how to rescue Theo. She did not have any remaining energy left to deal with Michael.“But, if you have any display of weakness, he’ll only take more advantage of you.”Joshua turned and looked at Luna closely with his deep gaze.“Y
Neil furrowed his brows.He looked at the female doctor in front of him rather strangely.“How did you come to this conclusion?”Dr. Rowena shrugged. She pointed at the indicators of the test she did a moment ago and showed it to Neil.“Your blood is the same as Nigel’s; there are two special types of protein in it. The two special types of proteins are inherited from your parents.“Joshua, your father, has been my patient before. I’ve tested this on him before, too. He doesn’t have those two proteins in him, so the two proteins you and Nigel have should’ve been inherited from your mother.”Neil rolled his eyes at her. “I’ve already said that our mothers are biological sisters. There should be genetic material that is the same. Could you be wrong?”Dr. Rowena furrowed her brows. It would be very rare for biological sisters to possess the same two proteins yet, at the same time, pass it on to the next generation.If the boy in front of her and Nigel are not identical twins, it w
The more Neil thought of it, the more upset he became. It was as if there was a huge boulder sitting on his heart, something that he could not move away from nor ignore.After a long while, he could no longer take it. He picked his phone up and went to the backyard garden to make a call.When she picked up Neil’s call, Aura had just left Michael.She was lying on the sofa in the hotel. Looking at the called ID, she frowned a little.If she recalled correctly, the night before, she and that little b*stard had set a time to only contact each other once every three days.Only a day had passed, yet he had already actively reached out to her? Aura narrowed her eyes and picked up the phone.“Mother.”On the other end of the line was Neil’s voice. “Are you and Luna really biological sisters?”Aura furrowed her brows. “Why are you suddenly asking this?”Neil took a deep breath. He carefully said, “Just now, Nellie said that you and Luna aren’t biological sisters…”Aura narrowed her
Neil clutched the phone tightly in his hand.His heart raced wildly. After arranging with Aura to find an opportunity to get Nigel and Nellie out, Neil sat on the bench in the garden anxiously.It seemed that his gut was not wrong. The doctor might not be wrong either.Nigel and he were very likely identical twins. Perhaps even Nellie was born at the same time!However, he was feeling complicated at such a thought. On one hand, he was happy that he could finally have real siblings.On the other hand, he felt that Joshua and Luna were utterly pretentious the more he thought of the idea.How could they pretend to be benevolent parents to other people’s children? During dinner, Neil unprecedentedly took food for Luna and Joshua.Both Luna and Joshua were shocked yet delighted. Luna looked at Neil, and she then looked at Joshua. Joshua was also looking at her, and their eyes, filled with surprise, met.Nellie, by the side, smiled and looked at them. She chuckled calmly. “Are you
