Slap! Alice slapped with all her might, causing Courtney to directly slump on the table.When she fell onto the table, she knocked over the teacups on the conference table.Clank!Tea splashed everywhere and onto Courtney’s pants. She looked extremely wretched.Alice glared at her. Her eyes were filled with resentment and hatred. “You are not worthy of asking me whether I have a conscience or not! All this while, I have treated you as my friend, yet you kept doing harmful things to the Lynch Group!“I have already taken on the blame for hurting Arianna and uploading the video, yet you still want me to take on the blame for taking the video? Do you have a conscience or not?”Courtney clenched her fists tightly upon Alice’s words. She bit her lips, raised her head, and looked at Joshua.“Mr. Lynch, no! This is not how it is! Granny Lynch got me this job! I will never do anything that hurts the Lynch Group!”Joshua smiled. “So what’s with the video?”Courtney gritted her teeth.
Luna clenched both her fists tightly by her sides.Alice was deliberately trying to provoke. She knew that Luna knew that Courtney was just a scapegoat. That was why she could so brazenly provoke.After being silent for a long time, Luna raised her head. She smiled at Joshua. “I’ll let Mr. Lynch handle this.”Then, she swept a glance at Courtney, who was slumped on the ground.“One has to pay the price for their own foolishness. Whether it was the past or now, you and I don’t have much of an acquaintance. I don’t need to show you mercy. You are to blame for your own actions.”Luna picked up her employee tag and looked at Joshua, who had no emotions on his face. “Since Mr. Lynch has helped me investigate this, I won’t resign. I will keep my promise and see this project to the end.”Then, she was about to leave.“Joshua.” Just when Luna’s hand was on the door handle, she heard Alice say gently, “The workplace is too sinister. I don’t want to work anymore. Let me go home, please? I
“She didn’t sleep well last night. After seeing the news this morning, she felt much better. She’s catching up on sleep now.”Luna glanced a look at Natasha through the crack of the door.Natasha had a head of white hair. She was sleeping peacefully. Luna sighed. She gave the nurse some money as a token of appreciation before leaving the hospital with Anne.However, Luna did not expect that once she exited the elevator with Anne, they bumped into Alice, who was coming to visit Natasha.The three of them bumped into each other at the entrance. The moment Anne saw Alice, she could not help but clench her fists.Luna stopped her in time. “Natasha is asleep.” She lowered her head to look at the time and furrowed her brows.“Care to join me for a cup of coffee?”Alice squinted her eyes and sneered, “Aren’t you afraid that I might poison you?”“As long as you’re not afraid I might do it first.”Alice sneered, “Let’s go then.”Then, Alice went first and exited the hospital.Behin
Bang! Alice angrily slammed the table. She pointed at Luna’s nose. “Don’t think that you’ve won just because I couldn’t do anything to you this time! Don’t you forget that I am still Joshua’s wife!”Luna leaned back with her arms crossed around her chest. “Mrs. Lynch, you won’t be able to achieve big things with such an attitude. All I did was just say a few harsh words. It’s nothing compared to you trying to ruin my career. I have not even paid you back what you did to me, yet you are already this agitated?”Alice glared at her angrily. She was so furious she was trembling.In the end, Alice harrumphed coldly, “Thank goodness I’m not your younger sister, I would be disgusted to have the same blood running in my veins!”Luna smiled. “Likewise.”Alice gritted her teeth hard. She wanted to say something when someone recognized her from far away.“That hysterical woman is… Mrs. Lynch, right?”“It looks like it. She is Joshua Lynch’s wife. Her photo has always been posted to use a
Seeing her staring at that piece of paper in a daze, Anne pursed her lips. “You had an accident six years ago, right? This woman must have started planning her cosmetic surgery not long after you had the accident.“... All this just to be with a man. She completely forgo her own identity and changed into another person. This kind of obsession is also quite scary.”Then, Anne looked at Luna. “When you were with Joshua, was there ever such a paranoid woman?”Luna paused for a while. A name flashed across her mind.Hailey Walter.Back then, when Luna just got married to Joshua, Hailey had sworn never to marry her entire life.After their marriage, Hailey has even tried to get her killed.On top of that, when they were in Sea City most recently…The dead Hailey Walter was most likely an impostor…At that thought, Luna immediately took her phone out. She flipped through her phone for a very long time before finding the photo that Anne sent her previously.It was Hailey Walter who
Luna gasped.She gripped her phone. “I thought we said that they have a few more days with me?”Joshua, on the other end of the line, was silent for a while. “My father said that he missed the children.”Luna’s hand that was holding onto the phone shuddered a little.When they were in Sea City, for a long time, Neil and Nellie had been staying in her apartment at Swan Lake Residences.Adrian, their grandfather, has never even visited Neil and Nellie once for the entire week.At that moment, Neil and Nellie were only there for a day, yet Adrian had started missing them? Joshua might believe this reason, but Luna did not buy it.The scene where Alice left angrily inexplicably appeared on her mind once more.Luna closed her eyes.She was afraid that it was not Adrian that missed the children, but it was Alice that wanted to seek revenge on her using the kids.Luna blamed herself. She should have restrained herself a moment ago. However, at the thought of all the things Alice h
“Whether it be Alice or Adrian, they have no reason to stop Nellie and Neil from receiving such exceptional training and education.”Luna bit her lips. She took her phone and looked through the summer camp details. It was indeed an official summer camp. The training that they would receive is specific too.Luna was so excited tears almost fell.Neil and Nellie would always be threatened by Alice due to their identities. This has always been on her mind.At that moment, if Joshua were to agree to let the kids go to summer camp, Alice has nothing else to threaten her with! At that thought, Luna bit her lips. “Nigel, thank you.”“Mommy,” Nigel sighed and said, “I am your son. Neil and Nellie are my younger siblings. Whether I am coming from the perspective of a son or a brother, I would hope that you would be able to worry less and they would be slightly safer.”Luna took a deep breath. She wanted to say something, but could not find her words.Sometimes, Nigel was so mature an
Luna was a little surprised.“You came here looking for me?”“Yes.”Joshua lifted his hands and opened the bag of food. He passed Luna one set of breakfast. “I want to apologize to you.”Luna was stunned. Joshua Lynch was apologizing to her?“About yesterday’s incident.”Joshua’s gaze darkened. “There might be a problem in how I handled it yesterday, but Alice is still my wife, after all. I don’t want to embarrass her too much.”Luna’s hand that was opening the set of breakfast paused a little.She retracted her hands, lifted her head, and looked at Joshua’s cold, handsome face.“You’re apologizing on this matter?”Joshua nodded.Luna smiled and laughed mockingly. “Didn’t we already clear this matter up? Everything was Courtney’s plan. Mrs. Lynch was just someone who was tricked by Courtney.”Then, she raised her eyes and looked at Joshua sarcastically. “Since if it was all Courtney’s fault, why did you need to apologize to me then, Mr. Lynch?”Joshua chuckled bitterly
