Alice did not dare to do anything bad to the children because she did not want to make the same mistake Aura had and expose herself. Besides, she did not know if Joshua trusted her yet. How dare Yvonne try to kidnap the two children!“What are you afraid of?” Yvonne pursed her lips. “The people I hired are all from Sea City. They’re not locals, and the number I used to contact them is an encrypted one. It’s impossible for anyone to track me down. Besides, I didn’t even order for them to be killed, all Smith did was give them a little beating.”“Hailey, why are you so cowardly, now that you’ve become Alice Gibson?” Alice took in a deep breath. She was not cowardly; she was just being cautious!“Get rid of everything you used to communicate with them and get out of there immediately! Go back to Sea City.” Alice gripped the phone tightly. “Get out of there right this instant!”Yvonne had been spoiled by Mr. Walter since young, and she did not know the danger of the situation she w
Luna’s hand stiffened. After a moment, she let out a chuckle. “Did I hear you correctly, Miss Gibson? You hired people to kidnap my son and daughter. They’re sitting in front of me right now, putting ointment onto their wounds. Now you’re telling me you want to make a deal? I don’t think there’s anything to talk about.”Leaning against the hospital bed, Alice closed her eyes. “What if the thing I wanted to talk to you about is me and Joshua’s divorce?”Luna furrowed her brows. “What do you mean?”“What I mean is,” Alice answered. She took a deep breath and tried to make herself as clear as possible. “I wasn’t the one who hired the people to kidnap Neil and Nellie. You should know by now that I’m not that stupid. If I wanted to punish Neil and Nellie, I have plenty of other ways of doing so. I didn’t have to choose the dumbest method.” Luna paused. “What are you trying to say?”“I’m sure you know by now that Joshua is planning to divorce me,” Alice said as she curled her lips into
But Natasha was her birth mother after all.She was tricked by Joseph all these years, raising Aura as if she were her own daughter. If Alice was really Natasha’s youngest daughter…Taking in a deep breath, Luna bit her lip. “I can help you. But I have a condition. First, you have to promise, Yvonne Walter won’t appear in Banyan City ever again. Second, you have to treat Mom and Dad as if they were your birth parents, especially Mom.”“I promise!”The moment the words left Luna’s mouth; Alice immediately agreed.All the two snobs Natasha and Joseph wanted were money.Whether it was the Walter family or the Lynch family, both were equally rich!“Alright then.”Luna paused. “But I can only promise that I will ask Joshua to forgive her, whether he actually does or not… I can’t promise you that.”“It’s fine, as long as you ask him!”Alice sounded distressed, “Ten minutes had passed since Yvonne was caught by Joshua. Do it now.”Luna hummed in reply.Before hanging up the phon
Neil remained in the bedroom for half an hour.30 minutes later, the little guy walked out of the bedroom, and passed the phone elegantly back to his mother, “Alright, you can inform Alice to send someone to pick that woman up now.”Luna frowned, took the phone and looked at Neil suspiciously. “Joshua agreed to release her so readily?”Neil smiled cheekily and walked to the sofa and laid down on top of it, his short legs hanging in the air. “How could he refuse when his cute son asked him for a favor?”Luna sighed helplessly, turned and went to the balcony to call Alice.After the call was answered, Neil closed his eyes and sighed, asking Nellie, “Say, do you think it’s not too late for me to start learning hacking now?”Nellie, who had her head lowered, focused on drawing a design for a necklace, raised her head and looked at Neil as if he was crazy. “Nigel’s hacking skills and my design skills are both God-given talents. You’re not talented at this, Neil, don’t make it hard for
This man would seek revenge even for the smallest grievances.“Alice, it hurts so much.”Her face wrapped in bandages like a mummy, Yvonne opened her mouth, sounding as if she was crying, “Joshua looks decent on the surface, how could he be so vicious! Alice, you have to avenge me…”Alice rolled her eyes at her coldly. “Avenge... you’re a**.”If she was not afraid Yvonne would succumb to Joshua’s torture and questioning, she would not dirty her hands with her life!Her words made tears start to accumulate at the corners of Yvonne’s eyes. “Everything I did, I did for you! Now Joshua Lynch did this to me and ordered me to leave Banyan City by today, otherwise he would call the police and have me arrested… Alice, we grew up together since we were children, I became like this because of you, you won’t just leave me to die, would you…”Alice rolled her eyes at her. “For me? Did I ask you to do that? You fool.”Yesterday, Yvonne stopped Joshua and Luna in the market behind her back, e
The Lynch Mansion was brightly lit.Joshua sat on the couch, quietly listening to his grandmother and his father as they reprimanded him.“Why did you announce you’re getting a divorce all of a sudden!”“Alice is the mother of your two children, did you get our blessing? Before you announce you’re getting a divorce?”“And you’re divorcing Alice for Luna!”Granny Lynch sat on the couch, rapping the cane in her hand hard against the floor producing loud clicks. “I told you Luna was bad news! For her, first, you chased Aura out, and now you’re divorcing Alice! She chased away one woman after another, she’s a homewrecker!”The old lady’s words made Adrian frown. “Joshua, what were you thinking? Even if it’s just for the children, you shouldn’t get divorced so easily.”Joshua lowered his head, playing with the phone in his hands.A long while later, he raised his head and swept his eyes across his father’s face faintly. “Father. Not long ago, didn’t you keep asking me to marry Haile
The woman’s airy voice carried her words straight into Joshua’s ears.His eyebrows screwed together tightly.In the house, Nellie quietly sneaked a glance at the clock.20 minutes had passed since she sent the photos to her father.No matter how far away he was, he should’ve been here by now!So the little girl pursed her lips, lifted her phone discreetly and sent another message to Joshua.“Daddy, where are you?”The notification ping from his phone rang loudly in the hallway outside.The few people eating inside stiffened immediately.The sound… came from right outside their door!Neil was the first to react, jumping down from his chair and walking to the door, opening it. “Mr. Lynch?”The little guy looked at the man at the door with confused eyes, then suddenly turned and looked at Nellie, as if remembering something.The little girl realized her actions had been seen through and bowed her head in shame.Theo turned and looked at the man standing in the entrance, his
The air in the dining room immediately fell silent.Joshua glanced at Theo with cold eyes then switched them over to look at Luna.Finally, he raised his lips in a cold sneer, “Does anyone here agree with you being Luna’s boyfriend?”Theo narrowed his eyes but said nothing.Luna frowned, raised her eyes and looked at Joshua’s expression that was filled with disdain.A moment later, she smiled faintly. “Theo is indeed my boyfriend. If Mr. Lynch insists on joining us when I bring the children out, then I’ll bring my boyfriend along. Five people vacationing together is not a bad idea either.”Luna wanted to use this method to force him to retreat voluntarily.Because she knew very well that Joshua hated Theo, he would not be willing to go on a trip with him.But unexpectedly…The moment the words left her mouth, both men said simultaneously.“Sure.”“No problem.”Luna was stunned.Instinctively, she looked at Theo who was sitting beside her, then switched her gaze over to Jos
