Joshua could not help but smirk when he heard what Nathan had said. He turned around to look at him. “It seems as though you’re unaware that we’re buying these gemstones from you upon Luna’s request, Mr. Allen. “According to Lynch Group’s senior executives, we can always change the materials used for this project to diamonds. However, Luna was the one who insisted on using your gemstones. She thinks they’ll be more suitable for her designs. If you want to forfeit our contract, I can convince Luna to change her mind and use diamonds for her products instead, but…”Joshua stared at Nathan with a steely look. “Are you sure you want to do that, Mr. Allen? I’m afraid you don’t want to find out the consequences of offending Lynch Group and any of its employees.”Nathan’s face turned pale, then blushed scarlet. He clenched his fists and stared at Joshua. “Mr. Lynch, I don’t think the two of us should break our contract over a woman.”“Look who’s talking,” snapped Joshua. “It’s you who ca
[Please don’t be disappointed, Mrs. Allen. It’s not your fault. Luna’s just too good at manipulating people. Don’t worry, though. Just focus on consoling Theo for now, and make sure he doesn’t keep in touch with Luna anymore.]At this point, Celeste was on her way back to her hotel. She glanced at Theo, whose hands were held down by his father. [Mrs. Lynch, why do you think…Luna likes Theo?][Probably because of his wealth. She’s such a beautiful woman, so of course she’d seduce men with money and power. It can’t possibly be love, can it?]Celeste frowned and stared at Alice’s reply thoughtfully. …The candidates that Lucas had recruited for the position of Luna’s assistant were all very outstanding.As soon as she arrived at her floor, she immediately interviewed all of them herself and finally settled on three candidates that she felt had the most solid foundation.Two of them were men, and one was a girl. Together with Arianna, they would be a perfect quadruple.Luna spent
Luna remained seated in the bathroom cubicle. As soon as she heard Celeste’s rants, Luna’s brows furrowed. Despite the way Celeste had insulted her last night and this morning, Luna did not take any of her insults to heart, mostly because she respected Theo’s mother. However, the more she allowed Celeste to walk all over her, the more outrageous she got. Luna could not believe Celeste was spreading rumors about her sleeping with Zach and Yuri!Hearing that Celeste seemed to be on the phone with a certain ‘Mrs. Lynch’, Luna guessed that this was probably all Alice’s doing. “How can I let such a promiscuous woman marry our beloved Theo?” Celeste’s voice rang out from outside the cubicle door. “I’m planning to take Theo for a full-body checkup tomorrow. I’m worried he might have contracted some diseases from her…”Before she could finish, however, she heard the cubicle door behind her slam open.Celeste frowned and turned around, still holding her phone to her ear.Luna strode
“Since you’re Theo’s mother, I won’t expose the recording out of respect. However, if I ever catch you baselessly spreading fake rumors behind my back one more time, not only will I sue you for defamation, but I’ll publish this recording and expose your true colors for the world to see.“I want everyone to find out what a horrible person Theo’s mother and Mrs. Allen of Allen Group is.”With that, Luna turned around and walked out of the bathroom.Celeste glowered at her with hatred seething in her eyes. She was the mother of a world-famous artist and the Allen Group’s CEO’s wife. How could she let anyone treat her like that?How could she let a b*tch like Luna threaten her?Celeste bit her lip and recalled what Alice had said to her earlier.“This woman hurt herself with a cutting knife. It was just a small injury, but she kept pretending and coerced my husband into thinking it was a big deal. My husband values her as an employee very much, so he took her to the hospital multip
When Luna returned to the booth, Arianna and another of Luna’s male assistants, Zayne Campbell, were staring at their phones somewhat excitedly.As soon as he saw Luna entering, Zayne immediately tucked his phone away and regained his composure. Meanwhile, Arianna stared at Luna as if she wanted to say something but ultimately decided against it.Luna was still thinking about what had happened with Celeste moments ago, so she did not notice her assistants’ strange behavior. She entered the booth and sat down in her seat.All of a sudden, she received a text message from Shannon. [One of the three assistants you hired today has been spreading rumors about you.]Luna frowned at the text, but just as she was about to ask Shannon more, she received another message from her. It was a forwarded conversation from a different group chat.Luna gripped her phone tightly and read all of the messages. It made her so exasperated that she suddenly felt like laughing.Luna raised her head to
Luna guessed that somehow, the rumors had made their way to Joshua. Otherwise, he would not be calling her at this hour for no reason.She let out a sigh, picked up the phone, and strode out of the room. “Hello?”“From tomorrow onward, Zach and Yuri won’t be working at Lynch Group Tower anymore,” said Joshua coldly.Luna sucked in a deep breath. “Why?”Neil had summoned Zach and Yuri over when Aura had tried to kill Nellie at the amusement park. If it were not for them, Neil would never have managed to open the door to the control room and stopped her and Nellie from falling out of the Ferris Wheel.To a certain extent, Zach and Yuri had saved their lives.These two brothers had come all the way to the city from their rural village just to seek a job. They did not desire much and were already content with working at Lynch Group Tower as security guards.Was Joshua going to fire them over some false rumors that a newbie spread?“No reason,” Joshua answered curtly. “There are a l
Joshua fell silent when he heard Luna’s question.After a long while, he chuckled and said, “I don’t think you’re that desperate.”Luna snorted in indignation. “Well, since you don’t believe that I’m having sexual relations with Zach and Yuri, why did you fire them?”“You think I fired them?” Joshua lowered his head to glance at the time. “We can still make it if we leave now. Why don’t I bring you along to find them?”Luna frowned. “Why do we need to find them?”“You’ll know soon enough.” Joshua did not feel like explaining things to her over the phone. “Where are you? Lucas and I will come to pick you up.”Luna paused for a moment, then finally gave him the address of the restaurant she was at.She hung up the phone, let out a sigh, then returned to the booth.The atmosphere in the room was pin-drop silent.Samson sat on the chair, staring at the rest of them sternly.Irene sat in a corner, so nervous that she did not dare speak, while Arianna and Zayne kept mum.When Luna
Joshua had gone to meet up with that b*tch Luna again!She had ‘slept’ with Theo just two days ago and even publicly announced they were dating just the day before!Why was Joshua still so fixated on this woman?Alice’s face contorted with rage and jealousy. She had spent six years changing her appearance to look like Luna and take over her identity, all because she wanted to gain Joshua’s love and affection.All that, and he was still obsessed with that b*tch!The more Alice thought of it, the more furious she got, so she picked up her phone and called the Walters’ butler.“Richard, help me kill Luna! I want her dead!”Richard chuckled from the other end of the line. “Ms. Walter, what’s wrong? Why are you so angry? Even if you kill Luna now, Joshua won’t return to your side anyway.”Alice rolled her eyes. “What should I do, then?”“Do you remember the time when you asked me to kidnap Theo? I sent some people over to Luna’s place at Swan Lake Residences.”Alice furrowed her b
