The entire office fell silent at Theo’s words.Celeste looked at Theo in shock. “Theo, you…”Joshua frowned in displeasure, rather displeased at Theo’s persistence. He squinted his eyes.“Is Luna that important to you?”Theo puffed his chest. “Yes.”“More important than your own mother that brought you up?”Theo laughed. “Mr. Lynch, you don’t seem to know my family well. My parents have always been abroad trading, and I grew up with my grandparents. My skills for art were also cultivated by them. As for my parents…”Theo swept Celeste a glance. “They’ve never truly cared for me. If they had cared for me, they wouldn’t have forbidden me from being together with Luna, just because of other people’s gossip. They wouldn’t have spread rumors about Luna being with other men when they clearly knew that Luna’s my girlfriend.”Celeste’s face was extremely pale. She always thought that as long as she showed how cheap and dirty Luna was, Theo would come around. He would know that he had m
“Is that so?”Luna chuckled gently. She took her phone out and dialed a number.“Officer James, could you tell me once more the message that you sent me just now?”Officer James, on the other end of the line, was quiet for a while before calmly saying, “Ms. Luna, you asked about the people who beat up Ms. Irene Cook last night. We’ve apprehended them. They admitted that someone got them to deliberately mention your name while beating her up so that the victim would be mistaken. As for who ordered them to beat Ms. Irene up, we’ve found out that it came from a number from our neighboring Sea City. The person spoke to them last night. We’re currently trying to locate this person via their IP address…”“Okay, thank you, Officer James.”Once Luna hung up the call, she sneered and looked at Irene, who was kneeling on the floor in a daze. “This entire morning, you gathered and protested in front of my design department. It was not as if I did nothing.“I personally contacted Officer Jam
Luna furrowed her brows. If it had to do with Neil and Nellie, she would not want to argue further with Joshua.Luna calmly looked at Arianna. “You three go ahead. I have things to discuss with Mr. Lynch.”“Yes.” Arianna nodded, then she took Samson and Zayne and left.As the trio walked, Samson asked in a half-whisper, “Who are Neil and Nellie that Mr. Lynch mentioned?”Arianna immediately replied in a soft tone, “President Lynch’s twins.”“What do they have to do with Director Luna?”“It’s a long story…”Their voices grew further and further away.It was only when they completely vanished from Luna’s sight did she sigh and closed the door.“Mr. Lynch, you can tell me now.”Joshua smiled. He turned around and sat on Luna’s chair, aloofness and mockery dancing in his gaze.“I never would’ve thought you’d be so charming that Theo would be willing to cut off ties with his parents.”Luna furrowed her brows. Her thin figure leaned against the door as she shot him a cold stare
“You sure remember it clearly.” Joshua sneered. “Do you still remember what I told you? Back then the Hailey Walter that died was just an impostor, and that the real Hailey Walter is someone else?”Luna’s heart skipped a beat.Joshua leaned back and changed into a more comfortable position. He calmly gazed at Luna.“All these years, Hailey Walter has been passionate about cosmetic surgery. What has she changed into, no one knows, but what we could be sure of is that if she were to change into another person, the first thing that she’d do is to change her name and fake all her details.”Luna furrowed her brows. “That’s true, but…”In fact, Hailey did not fake a new identity but assumed another person’s identity instead.“Luna,” Joshua coldly interrupted her, “what my friend found out is that your identity was faked.”Upon Joshua’s words, Luna was instantly stupefied.She looked up in shock and met with Joshua’s deep eyes. “W—What are you trying to say? Are you suspecting me of b
The office was quiet for a few seconds.Luna smiled. She could not help but laugh.“Mr. Lynch, you think that your wife wouldn’t be so stupid as to use her name, but I would. Is that it?”Joshua’s expressions darkened a little. He almost forgot. The woman nicknamed Alice in the chat that morning also claimed to be Luna herself.Joshua’s gaze was flat. “I didn’t mean it like that.”“What do you mean then, Mr. Lynch?”Luna sneered, plopping onto the sofa in front of Joshua. “Alice wouldn’t use her name to stir up trouble, but you’re so sure that I’m Hailey, that I’d use Mr. Walter from Sea City to help me out in Banyan City.”Joshua looked at her, saying nothing.Luna continued calmly, “Mr. Lynch, have you forgotten? After the funeral of the impostor Hailey passed away in Sea City, you told me that you’ve already suspected that the woman is just an impostor.“Tell me then, Mr. Lynch. Why would I risk getting Mr. Walter’s men to come to Banyan City when I clearly knew that you
In the cafe downstairs of Lynch Group.Alice smiled and looked at the man in front of her. “So, the person that hired you told you to tell me that Mr. Lynch was the one that wanted me killed?”Jason was holding onto the check in his hand. He chuckled. “Of course. However, Mrs. Lynch, you and Mr. Lynch could still love each other even when you didn’t know whether it was him that did it or not. I salute you. I would’ve thought that you’d at least have some hostility toward him. Back then, the woman that got me to crash you specifically instructed me to say that it was Mr. Lynch who arranged for me to do it.”Jason lifted his head and looked at Alice’s face. “Have you never once suspected Mr. Lynch? Not even get angry at him?”Alice laughed. “Of course not. He’s my husband, and no way will I suspect him.”She smiled and looked at Jason. “Have you ever met that woman?”Jason shook his head. “I only know that she was a woman. I don’t know anything else about her.”“I see.” Alice sigh
Luna received a call from Theo during lunch.He first apologized to Luna on Celeste’s behalf before asking her out for dinner that night.“I have other arrangements tonight.” Luna ate while looking at her memo on her phone.That night, she had to pick Bonnie out from the hospital together with Jason.At the thought of Jason, she could help but furrowed her brows. This man still gave her the chills at the thought of him.Regardless, she did not want to give up the chance to get to know Jason.After all…Luna narrowed her eyes. Jason, of course, knew how Joshua wanted her dead back then. He was the weapon that Joshua used against her.If she was about to make the incident back then known to the public, to let everyone see clearly how despicable Joshua was, Jason was an indispensable link! “What time do you end tonight, then? I’ll go pick you up?” Theo’s voice sounded graciously considerate on the other end of the line. “Are you having a business gathering?”“No, I have made
Samson furrowed his brows and shook his head.“Not only do I know, but I even jotted it down,” Luna said flatly, “We’re all working in the same company, and we see each other all the time. If they can’t kick me out of the Lynch Group, they’ll pay for it sooner or later. Why should I stoop down to their level and go against them like a maniac?”Samson was completely stunned.At that moment, the door of the elevator opened and Luna strode into the design department.Samson was quiet for a long while before he narrowed his eyes, smiling.Luna was an interesting woman. His choice of traveling a thousand miles to come to Banyan City to work as her assistant was not in vain after all.…The entire afternoon, Luna finally could get her work back on track.Samson and Zayne had an exceptionally good art background, especially Samson. It looked like he had some background in jewelry designing as well.The creative requests that Luna came up with, he could quickly understand and sketch o
