Luna did not go to the hospital to visit Natasha. Instead, she took a taxi to the police station.The officer on duty turned her down in a righteous manner. “The suspect is still under interrogation, and no one can see him.”“When can I see him, then?”The officer looked at his watch. “At least another three to four hours.”“Three or four hours, right?” Luna sat down on the bench. “I’ll wait.”The officer looked at her in surprise but said nothing as he then left.Luna sat on the bench from the afternoon, all the way until night fell in the evening.Around six in the evening, the officer finally approached her. “You can see him now.”Luna thanked the officer and followed along to the visitation room, much to Joseph’s visible surprise.“I heard that a woman has been waiting to see me for the entire afternoon. I never thought that it was you.”Then, Joseph sneered. “Director Luna, why are you so anxious to see me? Are you here to laugh at me?”When Alice got him to steal Luna’
Joseph looked at Luna agitatedly. “In that case, Ms. Luna, will you let me go?”“Sure,” Luna closed her eyes. “but I need you to answer two questions.”“First.” Luna took a deep breath and looked at the white-haired middle-aged man sitting opposite her closely. “Before Aura left for overseas, she told me something. She said that she wasn’t Natasha’s child. She was a child you had with another woman. You sent the daughter you had with Natasha to the orphanage and brought Aura back instead. Is this true?”The room was instantly in dead silence.Joseph lifted his head and looked at Luna in shock. He opened and closed his mouth many times, but could not form his words.After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, “Why did she tell you this?”Luna closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. “You only need to answer whether this is true or not. If I were to tell this to Alice, based on her character and how kind she is, do you think she’ll want to rescue you after knowing that you abandoned
Luna’s mind was dizzy as she exited the police station, yet Joseph’s words haunted her ears, still“We’re very remorseful. All this while, we thought that Luna won’t need us to worry about her, seeing how mature and capable she is.“We want to make it up to her. Me, stealing your drafts this time, was just an attempt to make her happy.“You previously asked me why I still do it, knowing the consequences. That’s because I’m willing to risk it for her. If Alice wants the stars in the skies, we’d try our very best to give it to her, seeing how we disregarded her badly in the past…”…Luna looked up at the dark skies. Suddenly, she felt like crying.Why?Why did none of her parents or Joshua cared for her or showed her any ounce of warmth when she was still Luna Gibson?Why did they only start to adore her, willing to do everything for her when she became just Luna and Alice became Luna Gibson?In the end, she merely lacked luck. Was she fated to never experience their tender love
“If I can't do it without bringing my personal feelings to work, how can I ask my employees not to play favorites?”Luna bit her lip. She understood Joshua's insistence, but it was just...Luna turned to look at him. “Mr. Lynch, if I said that I don’t wish for Joseph Gibson to be in prison for too long, will you think I’m being unreasonable?”Joshua raised his eyes and looked in front. His voice was flat as he remarked, “Joseph Gibson has two daughters. One of them was Aura, who almost killed you and the children a few times. The other is my wife, Alice, who always had a problem with you.”He turned and glanced at Luna coldly, examining Luna’s face. “All that, and you’re extremely tolerant of Joseph and Natasha. You won’t resist no matter how they scold you. “If you didn’t install hidden cameras before this incident, your future in the jewelry design industry would be completely destroyed.”Joshua squinted. His gaze was so sharp that he could penetrate through all her pretense,
Luna closed her eyes.She had reasons to suspect that Alice was probably the one that posted the video online.Alice was deliberately attempting to put Luna in a dilemma.On one hand was her career, which she has worked hard for many years and wanted to continue doing so for the rest of her life.On the other hand were her biological parents, who raised her for the past 20 years.Both were equally important to Luna.Luna secretly clenched her fists tightly. She had been too naive. She was so engrossed in her work for the past half a month that she almost forgot Alice, a ticking time bomb, was near her.After a long while, the car stopped.Joshua’s voice rang in her ears. “Get down.”Only then did Luna open her eyes.She opened the car door and realized that Joshua had sent her back to Swan Lake Residences.“Thank you,” she thanked him and left.“Luna.” The moment she turned around, Joshua called after her gently.She furrowed her brows and turned back subconsciously. “Is t
Still at the back seat, Joshua’s gaze darkened. “Don’t you think that you’ve crossed the line with Luna?”Lucas was stunned.Crossed the line? Had...he?Seeing how dazed Lucas was, Joshua turned around and looked out of the window.“Your excessive concerns with her. Also, just now at the police station, you were whispering closely into Luna’s ears.”Lucas was stunned.His slow brain spun quickly. Lucas finally knew the problem.Was his boss…jealous? Lucas cleared his throat and said, “Okay. I’ll pay more attention to this in the future.”Joshua responded flatly and looked up at the apartment building.The light in Luna’s apartment had been switched on.“Let’s go.”…Luna walked out of the elevator and had just taken out her keys when she noticed light coming from under the door.She subconsciously furrowed her brows.Was someone in her house? Was it Anne? She did give her a set of spare keys when she just moved into the apartment, after all.The video online was spread
Anne did not notice the changes in Luna’s expressions. She went to pour herself a glass of water, remarking as she drank, “Actually I feel that Joshua is very hard to read sometimes. After the video was posted online and it gained traction, Lynch Group immediately sent out an announcement at first notice that the video is misleading. “Not long after the notice, Joshua contacted me and told me about the incident. He said that you must be in a bad mood and told me to cheer you up.”Anne could not help but scoff, “If I didn’t know that he was the scumbag that hurt you so much, I would’ve thought that he’s a good person.”Luna secretly clenched her fists.After a while, she got up and rushed to the balcony.The place where the Maserati once stopped was already empty. Luna slapped her forehead in annoyance.Joshua must have thought that she was nuts. He prepared a surprise for her, yet she refused to invite him up.It was quite cold on the balcony.In the cold night breeze, Luna to
Anne pushed her into the bedroom. “You should do nothing and think nothing. Just have a good sleep!”Luna was helpless. She wanted to say that she could help with the dishes, but John quickly pulled Anne into his arms. “I want to be lovey-dovey with Anne, doing dishes together in your kitchen. Don’t be our third wheel.”While Luna was still stunned, John immediately took Anne and left.It was only until the two of them vanished from sight did Neil smilingly remark, “Mommy, stop looking.”Luna paused a little and subconsciously lowered her head. Neil and Nellie had already changed into their pajamas, and each hugged a small pillow as they stood by the door to the room. “We want to sleep together with you tonight, Mommy.”Nellie yawned. “We haven’t slept together in such a long time! I missed it!”Neil smiled a little. “Yes. You’ve been so busy that you don’t chat with us anymore. It’s nice that you can return the favor tonight!”Luna’s heartstrings were tugged as she heard the tw
