As soon as she heard Charmaine’s words, Shannon narrowed her eyes and strode toward Charmaine. Before any of them could react, she swung her arm up and slapped Charmaine across her face.

A deafening slap echoed through the hallway.

Shannon looked down at Charmaine and said, “Director Luna had hurt her arm, so President Lynch is sending her to the hospital. How dare you even suggest anything like that and perpetuate rumors about the two of them? Mr. Lynch has a girlfriend now, but even if he doesn’t, he won’t engage in relationships with Director Luna or any other employee. This is the respect every CEO should show to their employees!

“Not only are you disrespecting Director Luna, but President Lynch as well! How dare you?”

Charmaine was so stunned by this that she did not even know how to react.

She felt a little confused by Shannon’s words. It seemed like Shannon was scolding her yet, at the same time…indirectly reprimanding Joshua.

    “Joshua was carrying Luna simply because she got hurt, and he wanted to send her to the hospital. That’s all it is. If you got slapped, it’s on you because you jumped to conclusions and talked nonsense. If employees of the design department or the entire Lynch Group Tower find out about this and spread rumors about Luna and Joshua, you’ll feel my wrath.”With that, Fiona hung up the phone, much to Charmaine’s bewilderment. What was going on? Was Fiona going crazy?Did Fiona get so used to Joshua cheating on her with Luna that she no longer cared? Why was she on Luna and Shannon’s side?Meanwhile, Fiona hurled the phone against the wall in anger the moment she hung up.Even though she had reprimanded Charmaine about this, she knew full well what Joshua was up to.She had added libido-enhancing drugs into his drink to trick him into sleeping with her. However, not only was he perfectly calm, but he even stormed off to find Luna as soon as he found out about everything. He had le

    A deafening thud echoed through the entire house.Joshua, who was pinning Luna down against the sofa, slumped limply on top of her right after.Luna could not help but furrowed her brows upon feeling his weight on top of her. However, since her hands were still tied, she had no way of releasing herself and instead looked in the direction where the noise had come from.She saw Nellie holding a metal box in her hands, panting heavily at the same time. It was evident that Nellie had struck Joshua on the back of his head with the metal box. Seeing that Luna was looking at her, Nellie’s face grew an even darker shade of red. She let out an exhale, then shouted for help at the top of her lungs.Lily immediately arrived at the scene, along with the rest of the servants. The doctor who Joshua had assigned to look after Nigel stormed downstairs as well to see what was going on.Everyone worked together to help move Joshua away from his position on top of Luna and laid him down on the c

    “Does Daddy want to give me a younger brother or sister?” asked Nellie and blinked innocently at Luna. Luna did not know how to answer her daughter’s question. She bit down on her lip and remained silent for a moment before she finally responded, “Daddy wants to have another child, but not with Mommy.”Nigel let out a sigh, then gripped Luna’s finger tightly with his small hand. “Don’t be sad, Mommy, you still have us.”Nellie froze for a moment, then suddenly understood what Nigel was saying. She bit on her lip and buried her head against Luna’s chest. “Mommy, I’ll always love you.”She would no longer love her father as she did before! Not only was he aggressive and hostile toward Luna, but he even wanted children with other women apart from her mother!Luna sighed upon hearing her children’s heartwarming words, then took them back to their room and patiently tucked them in for bed.By the time Nigel and Nellie fell asleep, more than an hour had already passed. Joshua was no

    Fiona immediately glanced at Luna.Luna’s left arm was wrapped in a sling, and there was even a trace of blood staining her bandages. Her face was also paler than usual.Fiona narrowed her eyes and felt a flicker of malice surge through her.Even if Charmaine had not called her about this earlier, she, too, knew what would happen between Joshua and Luna. The reason she forbade Charmaine to talk about this any further was so that no one else would find out about Joshua and Luna.Since everyone thought that Joshua and Fiona were very happy together, she did not want anyone else to find out about Joshua’s affair with Luna. If everyone found out that she and Joshua were not as happy a couple as they appeared to be, no one would respect or fear her anymore.This was the last thing that Fiona wanted, but at that moment…Since Charmaine had already brought up Luna’s possible fake injury, Fiona decided that this was something she could use to her advantage.If Joshua truly had taken Lun

    Arianna furrowed her brows and shot Luna a nervous glance. Then, she asked in a low voice, “Director Luna, do you really…want to remove the bandage?”Since she could still smell the stench of blood despite the many layers of bandage, Arianna guessed that Luna’s wound must be very deep.Luna sneered, then glanced at Fiona and Charmaine. “If I don’t remove my bandage, how can I show them that I’m really hurt and not faking my injury?”Arianna pursed her lips in disapproval. She had no choice but to follow Luna’s request and remove the bandage from her arm.The scent of blood wafted through the entire office almost immediately.Charmaine froze momentarily, then turned to look at Fiona, her face etched with alarm.A hint of surprise flashed through Fiona’s eyes. How… How was this possible?The reason Joshua had carried Luna out of the office was that the libido-enhancing drugs had taken effect, and he wanted to use Luna as a means of releasing his sexual desire! How could there po

    Luna pursed her lips upon hearing Charmaine’s question but did not know what to say in response. She could not tell them that Joshua gave her the hickey, yet at the same time, she could not think of any other excuse.Luna was afraid that if she told everyone that it was Joshua, Fiona would fake her illness and pretend to faint.If that happened and Joshua rushed over, Luna was worried that Joshua would deny everything, causing her to become the offender once more.However, if she did not come clean with the truth… How else could she explain the hickey? She could not say that she did it herself, could she?“What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?” Charmaine could tell Luna was hesitant to tell the truth because of Fiona and felt even more confident in her guesses. “Didn’t you go to the hospital? Did the doctor give you a kiss for your boo-boo?”Luna narrowed her eyes and swept her cold glance across Charmaine’s face. “Why do you care so much about something on my neck?”“That’s right

    Who was this man, and where did he even come from?“Don’t believe me? If you don’t, I can give her another one, and you can then see if they’re the same.” Christian sneered and lifted Luna’s chin, then lowered his head to kiss her neck—“That’s enough!” Joshua’s stern voice rang out from the door’s direction just as Christian’s lips were about to graze Luna’s skin.Startled by Joshua’s voice and tone, Christian immediately paused in his tracks.Luna seized this opportunity and released herself from Christian’s hold.A flicker of disappointment flashed through Christian’s eyes. Just a little more.Even though it was just a fake kiss and that Christian knew Luna would not let him kiss her, he still could not help feeling a little disappointed by this. Joshua strode into the room impassively. “What are all of you doing here? Aren’t you all supposed to be doing work?”Then, he turned around and fixated his cold gaze on Charmaine’s face. “You don’t have to come to work tomorrow.”

    “Is that so?” Fiona blinked innocently at Charmaine. “When have I ever asked you to make Ms. Luna’s life difficult? Why would I even do that? Ms. Luna is Joshua’s favorite employee. She’s brought in significant revenue for Lynch Group, and she’s the star member of our team for the upcoming jewelry design contest.”Charmaine clenched her teeth. “That’s because you’re jealous of her! You’re afraid that she might steal Joshua from you!”“What are you talking about? Do you think Joshua would fall for anyone just like that?” Fiona scoffed, then turned to smile at Luna. “Don’t you agree, Ms. Luna?”Luna, who watched all this unfold with a hint of amusement, did not plan on getting involved in this drama between Fiona and Charmaine. Fiona had singled her out, however, and she knew Fiona was trying to get under her skin, so she curled her lips into a smirk and replied, “Of course. Ms. Blake is such a beautiful woman, and you and Mr. Lynch are such a sweet couple. Don’t you think you’re perf

"Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while.

    The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

    It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

    Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

    When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

    Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

    This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

    Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

    Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
