Luna closed her eyes and snickered. If she was not familiar with him, she would have been tricked into thinking he was a faithful and devoted husband. She, unfortunately, knew him too well.She would not have gotten into that accident if it was not for him. If it were not for him, Aura would not have gotten pregnant with his child and stayed with him for so many years.If he truly was that devoted of a husband, why did he declare to the public his intention of divorcing Alice? All of a sudden, he changed his mind and tried to justify his actions as he brought up everything his wife, Luna Gibson, went through.This deceitful, two-faced man disgusted Luna to the core!Just as she thought of that, she suddenly felt a twinge of pain that shot up her neck. The next thing she saw was how Joshua dangled the necklace in front of her face with a hint of triumph in his smirk.“Just as I thought.” There was a microchip embedded in the necklace, along with a tiny switch. Joshua fiddled arou
“Joshua Lynch!” Luna glared at him. “Don’t make me hate you!”Joshua’s hand stiffened. The distress and resentment in her eyes made him pause in his tracks, but this hesitation lasted for only a moment. A few seconds later, Joshua sneered.He just wanted to find out who this hacker was that helped Luna all the while. He did not intend on doing anything bad to that mysterious hacker. Why would she hate him because of that?Joshua pressed the button, but a childish voice rang out from the necklace, “Mommy! If you encounter any troubles, don’t be sad! Nellie will always be here for you. Neil said that we should record our voices and keep them in this necklace so that it’ll feel like we’re always there next to you.”All of a sudden, Neil’s voice rang out, “Even though we’re not physically there with you anymore, you still have to take care of yourself. You’re such a trusting person, and I’m always scared that you’ll be bullied. Please remember to take your meals on time, and go to be
“Although you brought up Neil and Nellie, please remember that right now, you’re just one of Lynch Group’s designers. You have no right to comment on my private matters, much less the way I raise my children.” Joshua’s gaze was steely and hard. “I apologize for what happened just now. I overstepped a boundary, and I’m sorry for that, but I don’t need you to teach me how to raise my children.”With that, Joshua turned around and left. Luna stood next to the door, motionless as she watched him strode off and disappear into his room. She watched the door close behind him and let out a scoff.Meanwhile, back in his room, Joshua did not immediately make his way to the bedroom. The hotel room that Lucas had booked for him was a presidential suite and came with an attached study. Instead of going to bed, Joshua went into the study and started doing work.Back in her room, Alice laid in her bed as she scrolled through the photos on her phone. The hotel that Luna and Joshua were staying in w
Luna followed Anne’s instructions and found the hidden cameras in her room as well. There was more than just one.On top of the showerhead, in the bathroom mirror, on top of the television, on the coffee table, and in countless other locations. Luna counted all the cameras she had found and realized that there were more than ten!She removed them from their hiding spots and placed them on the coffee table. She took some photos as evidence before she called the cops.As soon as she got off the phone with the police, she heard someone knocking on her door. Luna frowned. “Who is it?”“Ms. Luna.” The voice coming from outside the door sounded timid. “I’m the owner of this hotel. My name is Andy Larson.”Luna paused. She recognized that name. Andy Larson was Gwen’s father.Many years ago, when she went to school with Gwen Larson, she recalled that Gwen’s family ran a hotel. She never thought that the hotel she stayed in was the one Gwen’s father owned.Luna knew Andy’s reason for vis
Ben kept silent for a moment before he finally murmured, “Well, back in high school, you weren’t as pretty as Luna Gibson…”“You’re wrong. In my opinion, Gwen was adorable back in high school.” Luna crossed her arms at her chest. “Besides, even if she wasn’t as pretty as Luna Gibson, you didn’t have to lie about it.”Gwen was enraged by the sudden turn of events. She dragged her husband out of the room, and the both of them started arguing in the hallway. The door slammed shut with only Luna and Andy inside the room. “Mr. Larson,” Luna smirked. “If you want me to not make a big deal out of this and not leak this incident to the press, I can do so, but I have one condition.”Andy paused. “What condition?”…Gwen’s angry voice grew louder by the minute. “Why didn’t you tell me you used to like Luna Gibson? Luna even tried to convince me to give up on you. We even got into a fight because of this! It’s only now that I finally realize the truth: she wanted me to give up on you becau
Joshua’s sudden appearance startled Luna, who was busy discussing with Andy in her room. However, she soon regained her composure and smiled. “It’s all settled now. Someone installed some pinhole cameras in my room, but Mr. Larson helped me remove all of them.”Luna pointed at the cameras on the coffee table. “They’re all here now.”Joshua glanced at the cameras. He strode over, picked up a few of them, and held them in his palm. “There are so many of them. Whoever planted these in your room put in a lot of effort.”He was aware of the news that circulated online about pinhole cameras installed in hotel rooms. Most of them were installed to capture the tenants’ private and intimate moments so they could be sold online. Because of that, the cameras would mainly be planted around the bed, couch, and in the toilet. However, the cameras in Luna’s room were a tremendous amount. It was blatant that whoever planted them wanted to observe whatever was happening in Luna’s room from every a
Joshua murmured a response before he turned and walked into the study.Alice remained motionless as she watched him enter the study and closed the door after him. She bit down on her lip.She had been with him for quite some time, yet he still refused to go to bed with her. Even if he had mistaken Luna for her last night, he still did not want to go to bed with Alice. What was wrong with him? Was his heart made of stone?She had done so much for him, yet he still treated her like a stranger!It was most likely because of Luna! Luna was the only thing that stood in their way!The only solution to that was to get rid of Luna.…Meanwhile, in the study, Joshua sat down, placed the cameras he had in his hand on the desk, and said to Lucas, “Check the signal source for these cameras and find out if any footage was taken. If there is, trace the location of the receiver.”“Yes.” Lucas nodded and tucked the cameras away. “Sir, where did you find these?”Joshua furrowed his brows and a
Luna had a rough night. She kept having dreams then woke up from them before she fell back into another dream.In her nightmares, Luna’s photos were circulated all over the internet, and everyone judged and condemned her. Some even went so far as threatening to end her.By the time Luna got woken up by a phone call in the early morning, she was drenched in cold sweat. She picked up the phone with a throbbing head. “Hello, who is this?” “It’s me,” Theo’s voice rang out. “Nigel contacted me this morning and told me you were bullied in Sea City.” Theo let out a sigh. “I still have some things to settle here at the art gallery, so I’ll only be able to go over to Sea City in the afternoon.”Luna paused. “I’m fine. You don’t have to come over.”“Of course I have to.” Theo sighed again. “Nigel told me everything. He told me what happened at the cocktail party and the cameras you found in your room. It must be tough for you to be there all alone. Joshua and Alice are back together now, s
