The entire venue was in pin-drop silence.Adrian and Michael’s eyes almost popped out from Joshua’s sudden appearance! Adrian and Michael looked at each other. What was going on? Did Aura not say that Joshua’s injuries had not healed yet? Did she not say that he was stuck underground after an explosion and was most likely dead? Aura also said that even if he was alive, they would not be able to get him out that quickly.How did Joshua appear perfectly in front of them after a mere short night? Also, Joshua had always been sitting in a wheelchair all this while because of the injuries on his abdomen. How come after the explosion, not only did his injuries did not get more serious, but he also could stand up from the wheelchair? It was baffling! Right when Adrian and Michael were still in shock, Luna had already noticed it. Joshua’s elegance and calmness were faked.Others might notice him walking up the stage in a normal manner. Only she noticed that every time he took a
“He only doesn’t know about it because he was buried underground!”Then, Adrian sighed and rubbed the middle of his brows helplessly. “It’s hard to be a good person nowadays! It’s harder to be a good father. I’m the one who cared about him the most, yet he says such things about me…” Adrian said while tears fell from his eyes.Joshua narrowed his eyes and sneered. The father and son duo truly knew how to put on a great act. It was a pity they were not in the entertainment industry! “Might I ask, Mr. Adrian and Mr. Michael, when did the both of you go to the site of the rescue?”Luna smiled. She walked up the stage and nonchalantly pushed a chair with a high back toward Joshua.Joshua squinted his eyes and slowly leaned his left body on the chair.He could barely hold on any longer.Actually, he did not come out completely unscathed. Even if Lucas had protected him down below, when he climbed out from the rubble, the injury on his abdomen tore.At that moment, the pain had al
Luna was shoved by Michael unexpectedly.She directly fell over face first. The stage was at least three meters tall! Also, large spotlights had been placed below the stage for lighting on the stage. There were many sharp and metal edges on the spotlights.Luna looked at the sharp edges and closed her eyes tightly. She could already foresee what was going to happen when she fell over.She closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the pain to arrive. However, she did not expect that when she was in mid-air, a large hand reached over and held her.Luna shuddered and subconsciously turned back to look. The person holding onto her was the miserably pale Joshua! She was so stunned she could not find her words. Joshua was still injured! She wanted to help him, but she was in mid-air. Only her toes were by the edge of the stage. She could not exert any strength at all.Just when she was worried whether Joshua would also be dragged down by the weight, Bonnie immediately yelled at the bod
“Dad, what should I do! I-I…I was too angry just now. I don’t want to get caught! I cannot go to jail! You know I used to have…” Michael did not finish his remaining sentence, because he was already sobbing hard.The veins on Adrian’s forehead popped. When Michael reminded him only then did he remember. Michael has a few previous criminal records on him. They were all settled with money. If he was really captured this time, perhaps Joshua might even turn over all of his previous cases. By then, it would not be as simple as going to jail!At that thought, Adrian could not care for much anymore. He immediately knelt in front of Luna with a thud.“Ms. Luna, I admit that what Michael did just now was wrong, but you shouldn’t be so heartless. Please forgive him on the basis that he is Joshua’s brother.”Luna was stunned by Adrian’s actions. She never would have thought that Adrian would directly kneel in front of her. Luna looked at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground in fr
That voice…Luna paused a little. She immediately lifted her head. Sure enough. It was Aura.At that moment, Aura was taking off her shades and hat, walking toward the stage.“Master Lynch, you said I was the one who contacted you saying Joshua is almost dead, asking you to get your son to take over his fortune. Do you have any proof?“You also said that I was the one who told you the news and asked you to announce Joshua’s death and hold a press conference. Let me ask you, do you have proof?”Adrian’s expressions instantly turned ugly at Aura’s string of questions. He gritted his teeth and glared at Aura fiercely.“How could I have proof! You used a fake number to call us! You’ll hang up after a few sentences! We won’t even have time to record it!”Aura narrowed her eyes a little. Turns out Adrian, the old man, actually thought of recording their conversation. Thank goodness she was smart enough to not leave a trace.However, Aura also knew that it would be hard for her to use
Adrian glared at Aura. He rushed over to Aura with a threatening gesture.“It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault!”“Adrian!” Celia, who just received the news, rushed in. She immediately ran up the stage and hugged Adrian. “Michael is in trouble now. We…”She looked at Joshua and Luna. She knew it was useless pleading at them. She bit her lips and immediately said something in Adrian’s ears. Adrian’s expressions slowly calmed down. He took a deep breath and left with Celia without saying anything.The moment they left, Jude’s voice rang in Joshua’s earphones. “Your father and his wife just hailed a taxi and headed for the Lynch mansion. Should I send some men to protect your grandmother?”Joshua narrowed his eyes. He coldly replied, “You better send all your men over.”Jude rolled his eyes and hung up. He should not have worried for Joshua!At the press conference venue, seeing Michael being arrested and Adrian leaving, the reporters thought that they would no longer have a
Luna was completely in a daze upon Aura’s words. Then, she angrily glared at Aura. Her voice was rather croaky due to anger.“I hit your child? You were the one that hit my child! Aura, you will be punished for targeting such a young child!”Aura wiped her tears and stood up. She reprimanded Luna angrily too, “I should be the one saying this!”Aura took a deep breath, wiped her tears, and picked up the microphone. Her voice was filled with grief. “A few days ago, I handed Jake over to you in perfect shape, yet you returned him to me in such a state!”Aura bit her lips. Her tears fell. “Luna, only you would know what you have done! How dare you say I beat your children? You were the one that beat my child up! Your children are being protected properly in Blue Bay Villa every day. How could I beat them? My Jake, on the other hand…”Aura cried while displaying the photos in detail.“Jake only went to your place for a few days, yet he was beaten up so badly! Luna, you’re a mother you
Luna gritted her teeth and glared at the tear-stricken Aura.“What the hell do you want?”“Nothing much.”Aura held onto the microphone. She looked at the reporters below the stage. Her tone was rather aggrieved and sad. “I don’t hate Luna for beating my child up, but I hate Joshua for not protecting our child! I only want to do three things right now.”Aura took a deep breath.“First, Joshua has to find the best medical team to treat my son.“Second, to protect the safety of my son’s life, I want to be like Luna, I want to stay in Blue Bay Villa, to make sure that I can protect him at any time.“Third.”Aura narrowed her eyes and looked at Luna, who was sitting on the floor on the verge of breaking down.“Luna has to turn herself into the police, admitting that she tortured my child!”Joshua was hugging Luna. He swept Aura a cold gaze and said, “Are you sure?”Aura’s heart skipped a beat at that man’s deep gaze.If she remembered correctly, this was the first time Joshua
