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

    Luna thought that when Joshua wanted to announce her identity in front of everyone, it would be done during the company conference in the morning or at another venue.What she did not expect was that those from the upper management would arrange themselves at Lynch Group Tower once the car stopped.All of the staff and executives lined on two sides by the entrance, opening a path in the middle.Looking out from the car, the two sides of the red carpet were people in black. This was the first time Luna saw such a huge ensemble.She turned back and looked at Joshua in a daze.“This is how we welcome important guests to the group,” said Joshua calmly in a low voice. “You’re the first woman of mine to enjoy this.”Luna was speechless. It did not need to be that formal, did it? At that moment, someone knocked on the car door.Courtney stood outside with a smile. She was in a pink long dress, her long hair freshly curled with a crystal hairpin to top it off. She looked as exquis

    Everyone watched as Joshua carried Luna across the lobby and into the elevator, going up to the President’s office on the top floor.Everything felt surreal to Luna the moment her feet landed on the ground. It was like a dream, but a much crueler one.After all, in the dream, Joshua was carrying Luna Gibson, but in reality, Joshua was carrying the current Luna.“Do I need to give you some time to reminisce?”Joshua’s low and cold voice pulled Luna back to reality, and she abruptly came to her senses as she met his cold eyes.She smiled awkwardly. “I’m just a little taken aback. We’re just putting on an act, but I didn’t expect it to be such a huge one.”Joshua’s eyes dimmed a little. He did it on purpose.Since he was putting on an act with Luna to get Luna Gibson’s attention so she would return to him as soon as possible, he had to truly make her jealous.After Luna Gibson left back then, he went through her computer, diary, and social media. He saw how she said she liked bein

"Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure.

    The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

    It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

    Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

    When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

    Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

    This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

    Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

    Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
