“Can I have a look?” Courtney pointed at the documents on the table and asked politely.Luna paused for a while. After a moment, she picked the teacup up and took a sip. “Go ahead.” Her handwriting did not look good, but it was not ugly either.The company’s rules and regulations were not some corporate confidential documents, so Courtney could have a look however she liked.“Thank you!” Courtney smiled, picked up the documents, and leafed through them.“Wow, your handwriting is pretty!” Courtney flipped through as she took out the documents from the folders, pretending to be mesmerized by Luna’s handwriting.Luna furrowed her brows and looked at Courtney, not saying anything.When the cleaners carried the bucket past Courtney, her hands jolted and dropped every single piece of paper that had Luna’s handwriting into the bucket.The writings on the white paper were instantly smeared with dirty water.The cleaners and Courtney jumped, and the cleaners immediately took the papers
Luna did it all on purpose.Joshua was full of lies. He kept saying that he wanted Luna Gibson to come back, but he just wanted her to be gone for good, did he not?What she said could give him a perfect excuse to put down the pretense.The atmosphere in the office was silent for a few seconds, and it was after a while that Joshua smiled flatly. “It’s a way to go.”Luna Gibson was only angry at him. She did not, not love him. If she did not want to return no matter what he did, then Luna’s suggestion was the way to go. If he needed to find a woman to put on an act together, Luna at least did not disgust him.Moreover, the incident that night was indeed his fault. He treated Luna as a substitute for Luna Gibson. He was irresponsible to her.Since she wanted to resume this identity and stay by his side to steal corporate secrets, he would give her this chance.This was to treat it as a…repayment for that night.At that thought, Joshua sighed. He lifted his eyes and looked at Luna
Joshua calmly leafed through the documents. “After changing them, let it be known that we need two among the previous guards who looked after Aura to help out again. Keep an eye on the two who applied first. Then, do a background check on them.”Lucas paused for a while; he understood what Joshua was trying to do. He took a deep breath and was about to turn and leave.“Hold on.” Joshua pointed at the documents entirely soaked with dirty water. “Get someone to dry them, then get the experts to compare the writing once more.”Lucas was taken aback. “It’s already in such a…bad state. I doubt the experts can do anything about it, can they?”Joshua flatly looked at Lucas. “They’ll know how to.”Whether it was hallucinations or whatever it was, Joshua felt that though the writings were smeared, they…looked even similar to Luna Gibson’s handwriting.…“Courtney, stop crying.”When Luna returned to the design department and entered, she saw a group of designers surrounding Courtney wit
Luna’s words made Shannon’s face turn blue.Shannon could no longer maintain her elegant and graceful look. She immediately scolded Luna, “Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you lecture me? Do you know anything about jewelry or design? How dare you comment on our design department? You’re nothing but an intern. What do you know? Do you think you’re the famed jewelry designer Moon? Do you think your words hold any weight?”Luna cocked her brows slightly, rather surprised when she heard her previous alias brought up. “Luna.” Courtney sniffled and walked over humbly from the distance. She said with reddened eyes, “Can you forgive me? If you don’t forgive me, I won’t be able to answer to the president.”“Sure, I’ll forgive you,” sneered Luna and pointed at Shannon. “You get her to prostrate herself three hundred times in front of me.”Shannon’s eyes widened in fury. “Dream on!”“You guys can dream on too, then.”Luna lowered her gaze and looked at the time before packing h
It only hurt a little when Luna had to copy the documents during the daytime.“Mr. Lynch punished me yesterday. Mr. Quinn yelled at me today, too.” Lily lifted her head. “I know my fault.”Luna paused for a while before she gently patted Lily’s shoulders. “I know you have no ill intentions. Don’t mind them; I understand. I’ll pay more attention to this problem in the future. I’ll also keep in touch with Malcolm more frequently.”Lily was stunned, not expecting Luna would react in such a way. She was so stunned that she was suddenly lost for words.Nellie sighed as she gently pecked Luna on the cheeks. Then, she turned and grabbed Lily’s hand. “Lily, let’s go!”Seeing Lily taking Nellie away, Neil slightly furrowed his brows. “Why are you being so nice to her?”“Who doesn’t make mistakes?” Luna sighed as she grabbed Neil’s hand. “She took great care of the three of you when we were overseas all those years. I’m not going to be petty with her.”Luna held Neil’s hand as they headed
“Ma’am, let’s head inside and talk.” Neil noticed how ugly Luna’s expression turned into, thus he approached Natasha and smilingly tugged at her sleeves. “There are a lot of people in our small community, and neighbors will talk. It’ll be better to talk inside!”Natasha furrowed her brows and wanted to refuse Neil until she had a good look at his face. That face…She inexplicably thought of when Luna Gibson was young. This boy’s aura, smell, and those huge starlit eyes were the same as Luna Gibson’s when she was young.All thoughts flew out the window when Natasha looked at him.After a while, Natasha sighed and let Neil lead her in.The house’s exterior was no different than the others. What Natasha did not expect was that the interior, decorated simply and cleanly, had charred walls and ceilings with burnt marks. Even if it was repainted, it could not fully cover the burnt marks.Natasha paused for a while. “Your house…”“Ms. Aura sent someone to burn them down.” Neil le
Luna eyed Natasha coldly. “Didn’t you refuse to come in just now?”Natasha was at a loss for words.Not long after, she sighed, picked her handbag up, and left.Slam! The door was shut.The moment Natasha left, Luna could no longer hold back her tears as they streamed down her face.She always prioritized family relationships. She blamed herself for not contacting her family when she was overseas.Even before, she knew Natasha would misunderstand her, and she blamed it on them being apart for a long time.When she heard Natasha say she was not upset at all after she went missing, however, Luna’s eyes were opened. No one liked her from the start.No one.Her family, her lover… They only loved Aura.“Mommy, you still have the three of us.” Luna did not know when it was that Nial stood behind her.He reached out and grabbed Luna’s finger, his voice weak but determined, “We’ll always be your shield.”Once she turned around to hug Neil, Luna shut her eyes and cried silently.
Neil, Nellie, and Luna got into the car.Neil sat at the front passenger seat while Luna and Nellie got in the back, sitting next to Joshua.Joshua elegantly leaned against the leather seat with a faint smile. “I suddenly realized that Nellie looks a little like you, too.”Luna’s body suddenly stiffened, and Nellie’s expressions changed slightly as well.“All beautiful women look alike.” Neil, in the passenger seat in front, buckled his seat belt and leaned back elegantly. “Beautiful people all look alike, but the ugly ones are ugly in their ways.”Neil’s nonchalant words made Lucas almost laugh out loud.Luna and Nellie were also relieved.Joshua, on the other hand, chuckled a little. “That’s true, but…”Joshua casually swept a glance at Luna. “Nellie still looks like my wife, Luna Gibson.”Luna recollected herself and smiled at him. “Of course.”She looked completely different from her past self, after all.“Nellie, did that boy who gave you the lollipop in the morning l
