Lucas, on the other end of the call, was silent for a while.“Luna, please don’t direct your emotions at Mr. Lynch. He took a group of people to rescue Andy Larson this morning. If it were not for him, the things your friend said during the press conference were more than enough for her to not see her father forever. Mr. Lynch had no choice either. After all, the Walters and Lynches have a relationship. Some things can’t be done to the extreme.”Then, Lucas sighed. “You have to come tonight, if not, you will regret it.”Luna furrowed her brows. She wanted to say something else but Lucas had already hung up.“Are you going tonight?” When she hung up, Gwen cautiously asked Luna.Luna closed her eyes and let out a long sigh, “Yes.”If she were to not go, how would she know how far Joshua could go? Just because the Lynches and Walters had a relationship, so Hailey could do all these to harm her and Joshua could just write it off casually? …In the evening.Luna came to the Walt
Alice was warning Gwen not to offend the Walter family.That meant that Gwen had something on the Walters that could offend them.“No,” Gwen denied. “How could I have something on them? If I had, why would I be threatened by them?”Luna looked at her confusedly.However, upon a closer thought, it made sense too.If Gwen had something on them, how would she be threatened by them? Luna took a deep breath and hugged Gwen’s arm. “Let’s go in.”Gwen secretly let out a sigh of relief where Luna could not see her. Actually, she knew what Alice was trying to remind her of. Because the pinhole camera has previously captured Hailey calling Alice Ms. Hailey respectfully.…The Walter family prepared a feast.Old Mr. Walter was sitting in the main seat, smiling, and raising his wine glass. “Joshua, time flies. You’re returning to Banyan City in a blink of an eye. Please send my regards to your grandmother and your father!”Joshua smiled and downed his glass of wine. “Thank you, Unc
Hailey’s face instantly turned pale. Her face lost all of its colors.She glanced at Alice rather anxiously. Alice pretended that she did not notice her gaze. She lowered her head and ate calmly.Hailey then turned to look at Old Mr. Walter.Although Old Mr. Walter was unhappy, he was still her father on the surface.He cleared his throat and swept Hailey a cold glance. “Hailey, what Mr. Lynch is saying, is it true?”Hailey’s face was much paler than the wall behind her.She bit her lips. “This is all not true!”Then, she reached her hand out and pointed at Luna. “She’s trying to accuse me! She has been jealous of me being the heiress of the Walters since birth, so she deliberately used all these to frame me!”Luna could not help but furrowed her brows at Hailey’s words.She found it comical. She has said nothing from the start. If Joshua said nothing, she did not even know that all these coincidences were under the orders of someone else. However, Hailey dared to turn it ar
Joshua gently knocked the table with one hand. “When Ms. Gwen wanted to expose Ms. Hailey during the press conference, I also stopped her. I did this because of the relationship between the Lynches and the Walters. I’m willing to save the Walter family some face in front of the Sea City public.”Then, Joshua raised his eyebrows. “Of course, if Ms. Hailey thinks that I’m framing her, I could only reveal all this evidence to the media. I’ll let the public be the judge.”Joshua looked at Hailey with an extremely sharp gaze. “Let them judge for themselves whether I am framing Ms. Hailey or is she targeting my staff?”The entire dining room was in dead silence upon his words.Old Mr. Walter looked at Alice, who was eating with her head lowered. Then, he looked at Hailey, whose face was miserably pale.He harrumphed coldly and slammed the table fiercely. “You unworthy daughter, kneel!”Hailey was stunned. She immediately got up and knelt on the groundOld Mr. Walter was so furious his
The atmosphere in the dining room turned silent.Old Mr. Walter’s expressions were somewhat ugly. He looked at Luna coldly and said in an unfriendly tone, “How concerned you are of the Walter family, Ms. Luna. You are right. Previously, only with my permission could they use the prison.”Then, he inconspicuously swept a glance at Alice, whose head was buried extremely low.His voice was quite cold, “But it’s different now. The Walter family prison is not only under my command, but my daughter’s too.”Old Mr. Walter stroked his beard. “After all, I only have that one daughter. She will be taking over everything in the future, so I gave her the power to the prison. However, I did not expect that she would misuse the freedom I gave her to do such things.”Luna has long expected this response from Old Mr. Walter.Thus, she smiled. “Then the news from the outside world is indeed lagging behind.”Luna lowered her eyes, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. “Mr. Walter, you should upda
Joshua smiled. “I thought that you would have said something.”Alice shuddered a little.After a moment, she lifted her head, smiled, and looked at Luna. “If Joshua did not say it, I wouldn’t have known that Ms. Hailey had done so many things.”Then, she weighed her words before saying with a smile, “Perhaps Ms. Hailey is jealous of Ms. Luna’s talent? After all, Luna is an exceptional jewelry designer. The Walter family is also in the jewelry business. Why would Ms. Hailey want to get rid of such a talented designer like Luna?”Her indifferent statement did not mention her previous best friend, Gwen.Joshua furrowed his brows tightly. His Luna Gibson in the past was not a person like that. She was a kindhearted and gentle woman. She would always care about other people’s feelings.For example, according to Luna Gibson in the past, the words that Luna said on behalf of the Larson family, she would say them too.However, at that moment, not only did Alice not help the Larson famil
When he received Hailey’s call, Joshua was sitting in the car having a simple international meeting.He did not know why but since the afternoon the day before, Lynch Group has been constantly hacked by foreign hackers.All of them were skillful hackers. Even Joshua would need some time to solve them.After the hackers infiltrated past the Lynch Group’s firewall, they went straight for the Lynch Group’s core data. It was as if they were determined to make Lynch Group go bankrupt at all costs.At the same time, Malcolm Quinn of the Quinn Group also began to take advantage of the opportunity.In less than two days, the Lynch Group was being attacked from front and back.Joshua’s instincts told him that these things had something to do with Luna.First, Malcolm and Luna are good friends and future fiancés.Also, the hacker… he might very possibly be the one that had always been helping Luna.However, the defamations of Luna on the internet were done by Hailey of the Walter family
Andy, on the other end of the line, said something when Gwen’s face instantly turned pale.After a while, she hung up. She looked at Luna closely. “Hailey Walter is dead. She jumped off a building.”Luna felt every ounce of her muscle stiffened.Hailey Walter… was dead? She killed herself?Luna retreated a few steps back.More than an hour ago, Hailey was still having lunch with them. How did she just… die like that?“Perhaps she felt shameful and did not want to go overseas?”Gwen sighed, “Hailey is a proud lady. She would not be able to withstand such humiliation.”Luna thought it was unbelievable.In the dining room a moment ago, Hailey seemed to have accepted Old Mr. Walter’s arrangement. She even went up to pack her bags, why so suddenly……Hailey’s memorial service was done in a simple manner. It did not feel in line with the amount of grief Old Mr. Walter felt of losing his beloved daughter.The Walters explained that because this happened too suddenly and it was a
