"I told that lady that you’re my love of life. The things that are important to you are as important as my life. If she refuses to give me that piece of jewelry...I will do all I could to get it.""Do all you could?""We have business dealings, we could cooperate or become enemies. I told her I would do all I could to get it, guess what she would choose?"Luna finally realized the truth. "It's that simple?""Of course it's not that simple." Joshua snorted and continued to kiss her lips. "Do you think it's easy for me to say that you are the love of my life?"Luna was stunned. Suddenly she realized that he seemed to be...Was he confessing?She pursed her lips and was about to say something, but was rudely interrupted by him. She could not say anything. Her mind was filled with nothing but chaos and confusion. All she could see was his handsome and charming face in front of her. The heady atmosphere filled the entire room.It was a crazy night.Early the next morning, when th
“Why are you screaming?!” Aura’s head throbbed in pain at his loud scream. She glared at him. “Get out!” Michael clutched the blankets to cover himself. “Why is it you? Last night, I made sure I smelled Luna’s scent and her clothes before I…”Aura scoffed. “You did the same thing too, wearing the same clothes and perfume as Joshua! If you didn’t dress up like Joshua, would I mix up the two of you?”With that, she picked up the clothes that he threw on the floor, stuffed them into his arms, then pushed him out of the door. “Get out!” With her roar of anger, the door was slammed shut. Looking at the tightly locked room door, Michael sighed and put on his clothes with a helpless expression on his face, then left the villa in a huff.After Michael left, Aura grew more infuriated the more she thought about it. She angrily smashed everything that could be smashed onto the ground.How could this happen? She had everything planned! How could it be Michael?!Since Michael was the one w
Obviously, Joshua spent last night alone.Aura slapped her forehead helplessly. Since Joshua fell asleep in his own bedroom last night, why did she not only fail to find Joshua? She even…with Michael...It was all because of this damn power outage!She took a deep breath and stealthily cleaned up the water stains on the ground, then took off her pajamas and lay on Joshua's bed.She stretched out her arms and hugged Joshua from behind. From an angle she was blind to, Joshua opened his pair of bottomless eyes. He looked down at the pair of hands that held him, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.Thinking of what Luna said to him last night, however...The man sighed invisibly. He opened his eyes as if he had just woken up, glanced at the arm of the woman who was holding him, and then turned around."You...” He furrowed his eyebrows, looking at Aura behind him with a little disgust in his eyes and also a little surprised.Aura bit her lip softly and looked at Joshua with
When Aura stood outside Joshua’s door waiting for him, she coincidentally ran into Luna, who was dressed and ready to leave. She yawned and met Aura’s eyes that looked so full of herself. She lifted her lips, acted as if she did not see her, and walked past her, heading for the staircase. When Luna walked past her, Aura narrowed her eyes. In the end, she could not help herself, reaching out to stop Luna from leaving. “I was joking. Of course, I know which woman spent the night with Joshua last night.”Luna lifted her eyebrows and glanced at Aura. “Oh, who?”“It’s me.” Aura chuckled, then lowered her voice and stuck her lips beside Luna’s ear. “I had a good time with Joshua last night, and we were very happy. You’re no match for me, Luna. Sooner or later, I want you to take your three b*stards along with you and get out of Banyan City!”As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something. "Oh, maybe you won’t even last until then."Even if Luna did not drink the last bit of medici
Still, Luna failed to convince herself. If Aura wanted to lie that badly, why would she admit that she was the perpetrator of it all back then? After all, she knew fully well that Luna did not have evidence against her. If she wanted to lie, why would she only lie about this, and not everything?On the way from the villa to the office, Luna was lost and confused. When she stepped into the office, her staff members were all particularly nice to her. “Good morning, Director Luna!” “Hello, Director Luna!” “Director Luna, would you like some coffee?” “...”The moment Luna walked through the door, everyone rushed to greet her, and she was surprised by the warm welcome. In the past, even though her subordinates respected her and were polite to her, they were never this enthusiastic. She was not used to this, but she still returned the greetings of all her subordinates. Finally, she heaved out a long breath of relief and returned to her own office. The moment the door to her off
Bonnie’s answer made Luna feel as if all of her blood had frozen in her veins. Her guess was right. Aura…did not lie at all. On the other end of the phone, Bonnie took a deep breath. “I quit my job as a reporter and applied to the Lynch Group as an intern because I found out that Jason Lane took Joshua’s private plane when he left the city. You know the rest.” Bonnie closed her eyes and was silent for a moment. It did not feel good to talk about the past. A long while later, she opened her eyes and said, “Actually, this information had always been a thorn in my side. Even until now, I don’t understand. If Aura was the only mastermind behind your accident, why would Jason Lane leave on Joshua’s private plane? If he was also involved in your accident all those years ago, then how could he pursue you again now as if nothing had happened?”Listening to her friend, Luna laughed bitterly. “There’s also a third possibility.” The third possibility was what Aura told her that morning.“
“Luna, I heard Courtney mention that President Lynch is back to work today. The higher management is delighted at this and can’t believe that he’s finally back at work after a month’s break!“Just now, one of the colleagues at Human Resources asked me to send someone from the Jewelry Design department to check on President Lynch and take a photo with him to commemorate his return. I think it only makes sense if you go.”Luna could not help raising her brows when she heard this. “Is that necessary?”She did not understand what all the fuss was about. Joshua had returned from his month-long break, and it did not seem like exciting news, so why was everyone making such a huge fuss about this?Shannon shot her a disapproving glance. “Of course it’s necessary! I heard that after so many years of working here, this is only President Lynch’s second time taking such a long break. Apparently, the last time he took leave was six years ago…”Luna’s heart leaped when she heard those words—‘si
As soon as she heard Aura’s voice coming from the other side of the door, Luna’s entire body stiffened.At this moment, her body was pressed up against the door by Joshua, only mere centimeters away from Aura.If Aura pushed the door open at this moment, she would be able to see how disheveled Luna looked after Joshua kissed her.If Aura walked in on them like this…she would definitely destroy the antidote that she used to threaten Joshua out of anger.If this happened…Granny Lynch would never get better.As soon as she thought of this, Luna lifted her head to look at Joshua.Joshua furrowed his brows and replied to Aura impassively, “Don’t come in; I’m applying medicine to my wound. I’ll be done in a while.”Aura paused for a moment, then said in a softer tone than before, “What wound? Why don’t I help you with it?”“No, there’s no need. Just wait for a little longer,” Joshua answered in a low voice. Then, he quickly pressed a kiss onto Luna’s forehead and hid her in his offic
