Luna turned around and looked out of the window. She did not dare meet Joshua’s gaze.Joshua took a deep breath and looked at the back of her head.“Last night, I…I was worried that Theo would do inappropriate things to you after he took you away while you were drunk, so I got Lucas to look for you.”Luna almost laughed out loud.She turned around and looked at Joshua coldly. “Mr. Lynch, are you trying to humor me? Because you were worried that Theo would do something to me, you got Lucas and five other escorts to chase after me to defile me and take pictures so you could stand up for Alice?”Luna looked at him with cold hatred in her eyes. “Mr. Lynch, are you always that cruel to the women you have sexual relationships with?”Joshua’s eyes darkened. He furrowed his brows. “I’m only trying to explain to you. I didn’t hire any escorts last night. Lucas only took Zach, Yuri, and a few other bodyguards.”Joshua glared at Luna coldly. “Do you understand what I’m saying?”Luna smi
However…She had forgotten he got injured because of her back there.She did not do it on purpose.“No need.” Joshua looked at her with darkened eyes. He then turned to the back compartment of the car and took a packet of tissues. He drew a piece of tissue out.Luna furrowed her brows and watched his every move, blurting, “You should deal with it once you’re back in the hotel. The tissue won’t be able to wipe it off cleanly.”Joshua could not help but snicker at Luna’s words.“There’s no water in my brain.”He passed the tissue to her. “Wipe it off.”Luna paused a little, not understanding what he meant.Seeing how she did not respond, Joshua furrowed his brows and turned around. He used the tissue and wiped Luna’s mouth with force.The white tissue was dyed red with fresh blood.Only then did Luna remember that when he kissed her with force a moment ago, he bit her lips.She pursed her lips and looked at him. She took the tissue and wiped off the remaining splotches of blo
Luna instantly blushed.She laid her eyes on the bite marks on Joshua’s left shoulder.When they were deep in the throes of passion, she bit his shoulder harshly out of anger for the things he did the night before. It left a mark.She did not know what went through her head back there. Perhaps she felt that since Joshua was willing to treat her that way all because of Alice, she was going to leave a mark on Joshua’s body for Alice to see! However…If the truth was as Joshua said, someone was impersonating him, hiring escorts to chase after her…She was at a huge loss.Not only did she make the first move, letting Joshua eat her up, but she also left a mark on his body.If Alice saw it and got angry, it would be huge trouble.At that thought, Luna’s eyes darkened. She carefully dressed his wounds as she murmured, “I was angry at that time…”“Mmh.” Joshua flatly smiled. “Just because of your momentary anger, you’ll have to be in charge of applying medication for me for the nex
“Why did she choose to protect you this time?”Luna turned her head aside; she did not dare to look at Joshua. “As I said, it’s because of Theo.”Joshua’s gaze was too aggressive.His dangerous gaze made Luna feel as if her secret would be exposed the very next second.“Do you think I’d buy that?” Joshua sneered. “Theo is indeed an artist that Gwen and Ben like, but the main reason they like Theo is because of Alice. Because Alice likes him, the two of them got to know Theo’s work and like his art.”Joshua looked at Luna’s face. He wanted to see what sort of person she was from her face.“Ben and Gwen wouldn’t have betrayed Alice because of Theo.”Luna bit her lips. She did not know how to answer at that moment, so she took a deep breath and turned to look at him. “You haven’t told me. Did you get those men to hurt Ben?”Joshua looked at her. His gaze was ice-cold and ambiguous. “What do you think?”Luna wanted to say that she thought that Joshua was the one who ordered them t
Luna browsed through the news once more. The more she read them, the more suffocated she felt.The news not only stated Gwen’s name, but there was even a voice recording of her.She played the voice recording with trembling hands.At that instant, Gwen’s calm and emotionless voice rang out throughout the room. “That’s right, I’m the one who exposed them. I’m willing to bear legal responsibility for these photos that I published. As for whether Luna and Joshua are having an inappropriate affair, I’ll hold a press conference tomorrow and explain everything to everyone clearly.“Tomorrow, nine in the morning, in the small auditorium near Sea City’s Ocean Ray High School, I’ll hold a small press conference. I welcome all friends who are concerned about Luna interfering with Joshua’s marriage to attend. I’ll answer all of your questions.”The recording ended there.Luna gasped as she held her phone tightly.Gwen just reunited with her the night before. She knew that Luna was Luna Gib
Perhaps realizing that the atmosphere was somewhat off, Lucas did not even say a single word. He put the lunch on the coffee table and ran off.The door was shut once again.Luna lifted her head and scanned the food on the table.It was food that she usually liked, yet she had no mood for food at that moment. Alas, she was far too hungry. She might be suffering emotionally, but that could not stop her hunger.Luna took a deep breath and got up from the sofa. She went over to the coffee table and sat down to take the food out.The aroma of the dishes awakened Luna’s appetite, and she immediately picked up her utensils and ate hungrily.Halfway through, she finally felt not so hungry anymore.At the same time, she suddenly remembered that Joshua, next to her, also had not had any food.She pursed her lips and subconsciously turned her head.Joshua elegantly leaned back on the sofa. One hand was next to him, while the other was on the sofa. He looked at Luna flatly.Seeing her
Luna could not help but pause a little at his words.After a moment, she came to her senses from those unpleasant memories.Luna looked up and shot Joshua a glance. “We’re in Sea City, not Banyan City.”Joshua gracefully took a bite. He sneered. “I still have my ways, even if we’re in Sea City,” he said as-a-matter-o-factly.Luna shook her head.“Whether or not you do, what about in the future? We still have to leave Sea City no matter what.”Luna took a deep breath. “While we’re still in Sea City, I still can retort to whatever she says, but if we leave and they bring this issue up again, we won’t be able to do anything.”Joshua furrowed his brows. His tone was cold and domineering as he scoffed, “Do you think I can’t handle a weak family like the Larsons?”As long as he wanted to, Joshua could do it even if they left Sea City.He could have had Gwen swallow this matter forever. Of course, Luna also knew of his capabilities.It was just that...“I don’t want to owe you to
“You’ll be reunited with Uncle Andy.”Hailey then kept her phone and left. The moment she left, Gwen received a call from Alice.“Gwennie...” Alice’s voice on the other end of the call sounded like she was crying. “Thank you so much for helping me! You’re my BFF!”Gwen gnawed more on her lip. “Don’t mention it…”Alice chatted with Gwen excitedly for a while before she ended the call.“Gwennie.”Ben, who was lying on the bed, looked at Gwen helplessly. “Are you really…planning to defame Luna in the press conference tomorrow morning?”Gwen closed her eyes. “I have no choice.”Even if Luna was her best friend in high school, they still did not have enough power to go against them.Alice had the support of Hailey, while Hailey had the support of the Walter family, who was powerful enough to control the entire Sea City.She could not be offended.…Luna laid on the sofa and fell asleep unknowingly.After a long while, her phone rang.It was a call from Theo.“Luna, where are
