Luna snickered when she heard this.She shifted into a more comfortable position in her chair and gazed at Shannon impassively. “So what if he sees this?” She stared at Shannon with a self-deprecating expression and sneered. “Even if he finds out what kind of person his precious Ms. Blake is, do you think he’ll punish her? Or will he simply admit his mistake of wanting to fire Arianna?”Shannon froze upon hearing this. She was perfectly clear that… none of the scenarios that Luna mentioned would happen. Joshua would never punish Fiona, nor would he admit he was wrong.However, Shannon was still feeling disgruntled about this. “Does this mean we should just let this matter slide? Arianna was so badly scalded…”Luna rubbed her brows in frustration and recalled the pained look on Arianna’s face. She let out a sigh and said, “I’ll let Mr. Lynch pay for Arianna’s medical expenses.”When Joshua refused to pay Nigel and Nellie’s medical bills, Luna did not object or argue with him
“Mr. Lynch’s taste is becoming more and more questionable. What did he see in her? She looks very mild-mannered and gentle, but that’s all. No matter if it’s looks, talent, personality, or responsibility, she doesn’t hold a candle to you at all!” Shannon grumbled in indignation. “What is President Lynch even thinking?”Luna shrugged and peeled her eyes away from Joshua and Fiona, then strode in the direction of the elevator. “Don’t compare me to Fiona. She doesn’t match up to me at all.”Maybe it was her who did not match up to Fiona.Or at least, this seemed to be the case to Joshua. Shannon bit down on her lip and turned around to glance at the two people somewhat disgruntledly before running to catch up with Luna. “Director Luna, are you going to give up just like this?”Luna pressed the up button and stared at the indicator above the elevator door. “Give up on what?”“Give up on pursuing Mr. Lynch, of course!”Just as Shannon said this, the elevator doors opened. Luna took
Luna narrowed her eyes when she heard what Fiona had said. It was easy to think Fiona was saying this on purpose.Shannon turned to Luna and surreptitiously mimed vomiting. Initially, she had thought Fiona was an innocent woman. However, Shannon guessed that she must have overheard the rest of the employees gossiping about Joshua and Luna, which explained her current behavior.Shannon knew the reason Fiona said what she had said was because she wanted to get on Luna’s nerves. Seeing that Joshua did not answer, a glimmer of malice flashed through Fiona’s eyes. She let out a sigh and said wistfully, “Actually, Joshua, I don’t think I’m a good enough match for you… You deserve to be with someone like Ms. Luna. I can’t compete with her at all..”Joshua could hear Fiona’s voice waver and immediately furrowed his brows. The doctor had told him that Fiona had been triggered, so she had to keep her emotions under control for the time being. Otherwise, she would collapse and have to be
“That’s enough!” Before Luna could say anything, Shannon immediately frowned and shoved Samson’s shoulder forcefully. “How can you say that? You wanted to get rid of her, and now you want her dead. If it weren’t for you, Fiona wouldn’t have gotten angry! Now Arianna is injured, and everyone in Lynch Group thinks she tried to scare Fiona on purpose! Don’t talk nonsense like this!”Samson froze for a moment, then snapped, “Am I not even allowed to talk now? Luna was mistreated by Joshua and didn’t retaliate, but that doesn’t mean I’m a coward, too! I just want to get back at Fiona for hurting Arianna. What’s wrong with that?”Shannon glared at him. “Do you think Director Luna needs your help? Don’t you know what happened to her family? If she offends Fiona and gets fired from Lynch Group, who’s going to pay her son’s medical bills? Will you?”…Luna felt exasperated by Shannon and Samson’s arguing. “That’s enough,” she said, frowning as she separated the two from each other. “This is
“Aunty, it was all just an accident. Even if your clothes are expensive, there’s no need for us to pay the full price in compensation, is there?”Although Zayne was not the oldest among the four, he was the calmest and most reserved one. He continued to persuade the woman, “It’s not a large spill either, so the clothes will still be wearable after dry-cleaning it. The average dry cleaner in Banyan City charges about eighty to a hundred dollars, so why not let my friend give you two hundred dollars in compensation for your dry-cleaning fees? How does that sound?” Shannon could not help feeling stunned when she saw the way Zayne smiled courteously at the woman. This young man, who wore glasses and spent most of his time immersed in his work, was surprisingly calm and gentle when dealing with difficult people.“Two hundred dollars for my dry-cleaning?” The woman, alas, was still dissatisfied with Zayne’s offer. “What difference do two hundred dollars make? Who do you think I am?” She
The woman’s expression darkened when she heard this. She glared at Luna and snapped, “Fifty thousand dollars is compensation for ruining my clothes. Why do I have to give it away to you?” Then, she took out her phone. “There are four of you and I stand alone, so I won’t be able to convince you otherwise, but I’ll call Ms. Blake now and get her to settle this once and for all! Ms. Blake has a wealthy and powerful boyfriend, you know. In the future, when she marries her boyfriend, she’ll become the most respected woman in Banyan City. Since I’m her most trusted and loyal servant, you’ll definitely reap the consequences of offending me!”With that, the woman dialed a number and stepped aside to make a phone call. “Ms. Blake…”“Ms. Blake?” As soon as the woman left, Samson, Zayne, and Shannon exchanged glances and, after a moment, turned to look at Luna altogether. “Is this…the Ms. Blake that we’re thinking about?”Luna smirked. “It is.” Letting out a yawn, she made her way past the cro
Luna’s hand that held her phone immediately stiffened when she heard this.She never expected Joshua would call her because of this, and he wanted her help settling this matter, no less.Luna let out a cold sneer. “Ms. Blake must really mean the world to you, Mr. Lynch. You even want me to help clean up her servant’s messes.”Luna did not lower her voice when she said this, so naturally, her three companions heard what she said and immediately fell into silence.They stared at Luna with wide eyes and tilted their heads to eavesdrop on her conversation.Luna did not seem to mind this and instead continued talking to Joshua, “I guess to you, Mr. Lynch, nothing is more important than your girlfriend. You threatened to fire my assistants when they offended Ms. Blake, but now, Ms. Blake’s servant just so happened to get into a dispute in the cafeteria, yet you want me, Design Director of Lynch Group, to clean up her mess?“Mr. Lynch, do you think my assistants, three youngsters who pu
In reality, Fiona knew fully well who Mrs. Collins had a run-in with. Mrs. Collins had video-called her at that moment, and Fiona instantly spotted Luna, Shannon, and the two assistants sitting at a table a short distance away the moment the call connected. Moreover, Mrs. Collins had complained to Fiona about her run-in while pointing toward them at the same time, so how could she not have known? It was precisely because of this that she suggested asking Luna for help.Joshua did not seem surprised by her answer. He closed his eyes and heaved a deep sigh. “Joshua?” Fiona lifted her head and fixated her soft, gentle gaze on Joshua’s face. “What’s wrong?”“The people that Mrs. Collins had a dispute with were Luna and the rest.” Fiona, who was leaning against the headboard, immediately widened her eyes in shock and clamped her hand over her mouth. “How can this be? Mrs. Collins has always been honest and simple-minded, and she rarely had run-ins with anybody. I know that Ms. Lun
