“But Fiona works for the design department, if she wants to come, I must accompany her. But I never expected to hear her colleagues bad-mouthing her the moment we arrived.”Luna’s hand that was pouring the wine for them paused slightly. A moment later, she smiled, she was not interested in pursuing this topic of conversation. “Mr. Lynch and Ms. Blake are so deeply in love…”“We are.” Joshua’s eyes were calm and indifferent. “But precisely because we are deeply in love, I won’t just let Shannon and the others go just like this.” The moment he said this, Shannon and the other female employees around them felt as if their hearts had been strung high in their chests. Luna stiffened too. She curled her lips in a smile. “Then how do you propose we resolve this matter?” “Easy,” Joshua chuckled softly, “I saw the list of teams that you gave me this afternoon to participate in the International Jewelry Design Competition on behalf of the Jewelry Design Department of the Lynch Group."
The moment the words left her mouth, the air in the room froze. Everyone held their breaths and carefully studied both Luna and Joshua.Even though Joshua’s insistence on placing Fiona in the team was unacceptable. But… Saying things like these in front of Joshua and Fiona, was Luna not afraid of angering him? Shannon bit her lip and instinctively tugged at Luna’s sleeve, signaling her to stop talking. However, Luna shrugged her hand off, as if she did not understand her hidden message. She raised her eyes and looked at Joshua with cold, emotionless eyes, spitting the words out word by word. “You weren't like this before. When will you stop?" In the past, whether it was Aura Gibson or Alice Gibson, no matter how much he loved and spoiled them, he would never joke around when it involved business and the company. He could only grow the Lynch Group to its current size and scale because he always drew a clear line between work and pleasure, and was fair and impartial in everything
“If he’s hospitalized…”“If he’s hospitalized, then you should go take care of him, Ms. Blake.” Luna smiled coldly, her indifferent eyes sweeping smoothly across the other woman’s face. “Last time Joshua was hospitalized, you said you fell sick and refused to even leave your room. So as his girlfriend, all you did was visit him once, then for the rest of the time, I, his ex-wife, was the one who was caring for him. But the man who I poured my time and effort into taking care of drove straight to the Orchard Manor the moment he woke up, without even a word of thanks, just to carry you in his arms to the hospital for your operation. Now that your operation has been done, you wouldn’t fall so sick again that you can’t even leave your room right…”She shifted her cold eyes onto Joshua and looked into his eyes. “It’s time you return everything that you owed me, am I right?” Joshua could not help but smile bitterly to himself. Luna said he should return everything that he owed her. She
At Luna’s question, Fiona sniffed and could not help but say pitifully, “I stayed here because Joshua wanted me to stay here on his behalf.” She lifted her eyes that were red from her crying and looked at Luna. “Charmain and Arianna were beside me just now, they must have heard. Joshua said that hospitals are unlucky places, he asked me not to go…”She wiped at her tears as she spoke. “It looks like Ms. Luna doesn’t welcome me at all. If that’s the case, then I might as well go to the hospital with Joshua…”At the woman’s words, Charmaine who was sitting beside her could not take it anymore and stood up. “Fiona is right, just now Mr. Lynch did indeed ask Fiona to stay, he said he would be fine!” As she spoke, she pulled at Arianna and asked, “You heard him too, right? You’re one of Luna’s cronies, she’ll definitely believe you!”Charmaine’s actions when she yanked at Arianna were extremely rough, as a result, Arianna let out a small cry in pain. Samson stood up hurriedly and wr
Luna was right. Besides Christian and Joshua, she did not have any other friends in Banyan City. It was already so late, Christian was not in Banyan City and Joshua was still in the hospital, his situation remained unknown…She did not dare to ride a taxi by herself either. It was so late now, she was a beautiful girl, what if something happened? Even though she was reluctant to do so, but asking Luna to send her home was her only choice now. The engine revved into motion. Fiona crossed her arms over her chest as she sat in the backseat of the car, sweeping her cold gaze over at Luna. “Don’t think I will be grateful to you because you sent me home.”Luna curled her lips, switched into a comfortable position, and leaned back on her seat. “I don’t expect you to be grateful to me, just don’t do things that’ll upset me."Fiona rolled her eyes at her and said nothing. “I'm actually quite curious.” Luna closed her eyes and yawned. “Does Joshua owe you a debt that cannot be repai
Luna rolled down the window and glanced indifferently at the man who was standing outside the car. “But I don’t want to talk to you.”She curled her lips in a smile and looked at him. “Do you want to thank me for giving your beloved Ms. Blake a ride home? You’re welcome, I didn’t do it out of the kindness of my heart, I was worried you would kill me if anything happened to her.”With that, she yawned. “It’s late now, I need to head home. Mr. Lynch, I hope you and your friend can move your cars, don’t block the way.” Her cold attitude made the expression on his face turn ugly. He sucked in a deep breath. “Luna, why do you insist on acting like you don’t care? If you were really so ruthless, you wouldn’t switch the alcohol to plain drinks. Since you still care about me, why do you refuse to even talk to me? Besides, I wanted to talk to you about the competition.” “Do you?” Luna raised an eyebrow. “But President Lynch, it’s after office hours now. I don’t want to discuss work after
‘We’re all fine now, don't worry.’Who was the ‘we’ referred to in the email? No matter how hard she thought about it, she still could not figure out the answer, so she sent a reply tentatively. “Who are you?” There was no response. Her email was sent out, but like a stone throw into the middle of the ocean, there was no further response. Luna waited for the other party to reply for more than an hour, and finally, when she almost fell asleep, the notification beep on her laptop sounded again.This time the other party sent her an email using a different email address. ‘The person you miss day dearly.’Luna frowned fiercely at the sentence.The person she missed dearly? There was no one whom she missed dearly. If she had to name someone whom she missed dearly... There was no one else but Neil. But Neil was dead...She closed her eyes, treated the email as a prank, deleted it, and turned off the computer.Because of this email, she was reminded of Neil again.The woman l
Luna stood frozen in her spot, as if struck by lightning. The sun was shining brightly above her, but she felt an unprecedented chill attacking her body. Aura Gibson. The dry bouquet of baby’s breath was from Aura Gibson. This woman…was already back in Banyan City? What did she mean by giving Neil flowers? Was she gloating? Trying to provoke her? Or…declaring war on her?Countless scenes where Aura almost killed Neil and Nellie flashed before her eyes. She bit her lip with all the strength she could muster, feeling as if she had fallen into an icy lake in the middle of winter. If she was still abroad, with Malcolm’s influence, she was not worried about Aura taking revenge on her at all. But now, she was in Banyan City. Joshua already had a new girlfriend; it was impossible for him to extend some of his love and warmth toward her and her children. No one could protect them. No one. Standing in her original spot, Luna bit her lip tightly. Since Aura was back… From now
