Luna glanced at the man sitting lazily on the sofa like a proud peacock. "Your new girlfriend?"Joshua did not want to reveal anything to her. "Make a guess."Luna did not feel like guessing at all. Even though she had slept with him the night before, she knew that there was no future between them anymore, so why did it matter to her whether Joshua had a new girlfriend or not?Therefore, Luna furrowed her brows and asked, "Do you need me to hide?"Joshua stared at her impassively. "What do you think?"Luna rolled her eyes at him.She did not feel like hiding at all. On the one hand, she had no intention of remaining at Joshua's place any longer, and on the other hand, if she had to hide, this meant that she would be forced to listen to their conversation.She was in no mood to listen to what Joshua and his new girlfriend talked about. As soon as she thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and opened the door.Outside the door, a woman with a full face of makeup was calling ou
Joshua was acting coldly toward her and even told her to bring the food home and eat it herself.No matter how oblivious Cheryl was, she knew she had misunderstood Joshua's intentions.However, she did not want to give up on this opportunity.Therefore, she let out an exhale and said, trying to counter Joshua's domineering aura, "President Lynch, you told me to buy two portions of food, and I…I can't finish it myself. Can you…""You can share it with your friend or throw it away if you want." Joshua reached out to pick up the newspaper from the table and added, "Take the trash out when you leave as well."Cheryl's fingers curled tightly around the handle of the takeaway bag. "Alright then…I'll be off now. Take care, President Lynch."With that, she glanced at Joshua once more with a look of reluctance.At this moment, he was reading the newspaper, his legs crossed elegantly.This man was attractive no matter which angle one looked at him, but despite being his secretary for six
Seeing that Luna had turned to look at her, Cheryl grew even more outrageous. She sneered as she stared back at Luna. "I said you must be one of the top prostitutes they have."Cheryl knew that Luna was not a hooker, judging from the way she carried herself, as well as her taste in fashion.On top of that, Joshua was not a man who would hook up with random women at all. However, Cheryl had just received news from Lucas that she would be transferred to another department on the pretense of giving her a raise…She knew that the reason Joshua did not want her to continue working as his secretary was all because of this woman!As soon as she saw Luna trying to hail a taxi, a furious Cheryl could not pass on the opportunity to release her anger, so she became even more snarky. "I guess you must charge a lot for your services, don't you? If so, what are you doing here, trying to hail a taxi? Is it because you tried to advance on President Lynch because of how attractive he is?"Luna n
"She had appeared just at the right time, so I got into a fight with her so that I'd be brought to the police station where you can take me home."Jim stared at her with a dubious look. "Is that true?"Luna reached into her pocket. "Of course it is."As soon as she finished her sentence, she felt something in her pocket.She pulled her hand out and realized it was a stack of brand-new dollar bills.Jim glanced at the stack of money in Luna's hand meaningfully and remarked, "You said you deliberately got into a fight so that you'd be sent to the police station because you didn't have money with you?"Luna furrowed her brows and suddenly realized she could not explain herself anymore.However…She had not checked her pocket at all, since knowing this was a brand-new dress, she thought that there would not be anything in the pockets.Luna never expected Joshua to be this considerate and detail-oriented to prepare money for her.As soon as she thought of this, she turned to glanc
Jim sent Luna home. On their journey there, Jim described everything that had happened after she was kidnapped to her and handed her the phone that she had lost along with the location of the hospital Caleb was in.Luna took the phone from him and sent Caleb a text asking him how he was doing and said that she would visit him in the afternoon.Even though she had just met Caleb the night before, the two of them were like long-lost friends.On top of that, he had been kidnapped and gotten hurt because of her.Caleb thought he was the one that had dragged Luna into this, but it was the other way around.Luna set down the phone and was about to continue chatting with Jim when she realized the car had already arrived at her house.Parked outside the gate was a very flashy Ferrare.Both Luna and Jim recognized this car.This was the car that Charles and Rosalyn had gifted Heather for her 20th birthday, and she would drive this car every time she needed to show up at any important
Heather thus lifted her head to stare intently at Luna, who was standing behind Jim. "I'm here to apologize to you."Because she had lost two teeth, Heather's voice sounded slightly muffled as she spoke. "Luna, I know what I did yesterday was wrong, and I hope you can forgive me."Luna frowned upon hearing this. "You're here to apologize?"Since when did Heather become so self-aware as to apologize to her before Luna could even reprimand her voluntarily?Jim, too, furrowed his brows and lowered his head to stare at the kneeling woman. "That's unusual; you're apologizing to Luna?"Heather bit her lip and lowered her head even more, trying to ignore both Jim and Luna's contemptuous gazes. "Yes, I'm here to apologize. Luna, everything that happened last night was my fault."I shouldn't have let Father arrange that blind date for you, nor should I have provided Harris the information when I knew he was out to get Caleb Crawford. And…"She bit down on her lip. "I shouldn't have let H
As soon as she brought up Luna and Malcolm's past, Luna narrowed her eyes. Truth be told, from the moment she found out Malcolm was the one that had ruined her looks, intending to use her for his personal gain, Luna had been curious about one thing…She strolled to Heather's side. "Answer my questions first."Seeing that Luna's attitude had relaxed, Heather nodded furiously. "Anything. I'll tell you everything that I know!"Luna narrowed her eyes. "I've been wanting to know: Had Malcolm saved me out of coincidence, or had this all been planned since the start?"In the past, Luna had been so trusting of Malcolm that she never doubted his intentions. She had always thought Malcolm had indeed been sailing in that thunderstorm and saved her after coming across her in the ocean by accident.In the past, she had even told her children that Malcolm was the kindest man on earth and taught them to learn from him.Seeing as she had seen through Malcolm's tricks, however, she could not he
It turned out that…She was too naïve. How could a man willing to do anything to achieve what he wanted possibly show kindness toward her and her children?As soon as Heather finished her sentence, Jim furrowed his brows and asked, "Since Malcolm had been wanting to use Luna since the start, why did he even help her give birth to her three children and even take care of them?""That's because the three children…"Their father is Joshua Lynch, the heir to the Lynch family fortune, and their mother is Luna, the future heiress of Landry family."Malcolm knew that if he had power over the children, he'd one day be able to dominate both the Lynch and Landry families."Luna felt her blood run cold upon hearing this.This man…had planned everything right from the start."Luna." Heather bit her lip after answering Luna and Jim's questions. "I've already told you everything that you wish to know. Can you…"Luna smirked upon hearing this. "Had I made you a promise just now?"Heather
