The more Luna said, the wider her mocking smiles were.“But, they are still such amateurs. They don’t know that even if Ms. Blake did not have any terminal illness, as long as she acted coquettishly, you will still be willing to do anything for her.”Joshua looked at her and narrowed his eyes.His reaction made Luna disheartened.Luna smiled. “Mr. Lynch, why are you not saying anything? Have I hit the nail on the head?”Joshua looked at her. His eyes dimmed.“What do you think?”“I…”Before Luna could finish saying anything, Joshua’s phone rang.The rooftop was too dark, so when Joshua picked his phone up, the words Fiona Blake were extremely jarring.Luna bit her lips and looked at Joshua picking Fiona’s call.His initial low voice when he spoke to her instantly turned gentle. “I’ll be going back soon. Hmm, I have not had my dinner yet. I’ll have it with you. I’ll hang up first.”Then, Joshua hung up.Luna stood in the same spot. She looked at Joshua and suddenly found
“Am…I bothering you two?”When she noticed Joshua and Luna looking at her, Fiona bit her lips. Tears started to form in her eyes.“I-I’m sorry. I didn't mean to do it on purpose. I only wanted to come up to the rooftop to have some air.”Fiona sniffled her nose and wiped away her tears. “You two carry on. I’ll…head back first.”Then, she turned and left.She only took two steps before she suddenly thought of something. She turned back to look at Joshua.“By the way, Joshua, if you do not have time to have a meal with me, I can eat alone.”The more she said the more aggrieved she sounded. Her voice got more croaky too.“Y-You…go ahead.”In the end, she turned her head around and anxiously walked down the stairs step by step.However, it was unknown whether she did it on purpose or not. She only walked a few steps when she stepped onto nothing.“Ah!”Just in the nick of time, Joshua rushed forward and immediately carried Fiona in his arms.“Are you alright? How are you so
“Didn’t you say you want to come to my house? Let’s go.”She said while going past Christian and getting into his car.“The place I stay in is huge, you can stay the night if you want.”Christian stood in the same spot. He was in a daze for a few seconds before he immediately followed Luna and got in the car.“You’re finally willing to let me explain?”Luna sat in the passenger seat. She looked at Lucas turning to go upstairs coldly. She leaned back on the leather seat with an exhausted expression. She let out a long sigh.Looking at her, Christian helplessly looked in the direction in which she was looking.When he saw Lucas leaving, Christian sighed. He changed into a more comfortable position and looked at Luna helplessly.“No wonder you were so quick to agree. I see you were doing it for Joshua to see.”Luna closed her eyes and let out a long sigh before opening her eyes and looking at him.“Didn’t you say you want to explain yourself? Go ahead.”Since she had already go
It was deep in the night. The Blue Bay Villa was brightly lit. Almost all of the servants in the villa had been dismissed by Nellie and Lily. The only people left in the villa were Luna and the two children, Christian Moore, and Lily who was guarding the door. “So…”Sitting on the sofa, Luna found it hard to believe her eyes and ears. “Fiona has evidence of you murdering a girl whom you killed by accident years ago?”Christian sighed and nodded dispiritedly. “Yes. Back then, Fiona and I were a couple whom everyone in school envied, we used to be happy. The dead girl, Violet Lewis, was Fiona’s roommate. She was from a happy family, her father was a businessman and her mother was a dancer. That’s why she looked down on Fiona for being born an orphan and raised in the countryside.” As he spoke, he unconsciously covered his face with his hand to hide his expression. “I did not kill Violet on purpose. That day Fiona said she was bullied by Violet, that Violet forced her to drink the
“But Daddy is still my biological Daddy after all…Since I came home, Daddy has always been nice to me… I want to do something for him before we leave…”As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Luna with solemn eyes, and said, “After all, after I leave Banyan City with you, he won’t be our Daddy anymore, he’ll just be a stranger.” Luna paused at the little girl’s words. After Nellie finished speaking, the room fell quiet instantly. Nigel sat down on the sofa with his laptop in his arms and quietly glanced at Luna, then shifted his eyes to Nellie, and finally, his gaze landed on Christian. “At the moment, you should be the one who’s most desperate for Fiona’s feigned illness to be exposed, right?” Christian paused, then nodded and smiled wryly. “I’m one of her biggest victims after all.”As long as her feigned illness remained a secret, then he had to continue keeping her secret and continue being threatened by her.Not only that, the most important point was…Fiona ha
Christian climbed into the passenger seat of Joshua’s car with a racing heart.“Uncle Joshua, please let me explain…”The moment he entered the car, the depressing atmosphere made him purse his lips unconsciously. He opened his mouth anxiously and said, “It’s not what you think! I didn’t come here so late at night for that! I came here to…to bid…goodbye to Luna and the two children!”Christian finally found a suitable excuse and explanation after stuttering for a long while. “That’s right, I came here to bid them goodbye! Because Luna said that she’ll be leaving Banyan City with the children after the competition. I knew I wouldn’t be seeing her again for the rest of my life after she leaves, so…I came to bid them farewell.”The air that radiated from the man sitting in the backseat turned colder and colder, heavier and heavier.Christian could not help but shiver. He cleared his throat. “Joshua, I really just came here to bid them goodbye…I…”Joshua turned and looked out the w
“Is investigating Fiona to find out whether she feigned her illness or not.”Joshua glanced at Christian suspiciously, then turned and glanced in the direction of the Blue Bay Direction. The lights in the children’s room were now switched off. At that moment, the entire villa was dark, with the only light coming from Luna’s brightly-lit bedroom. From the figure in the window, she seemed to be sitting in front of her desk with her head bowed, typing into her laptop. He sighed lowly, in a barely audible tone. This silly woman. He had treated her like this but still, she wanted to do something for him before leaving the city. Even though he felt warmed deep down, his expression remained cold. “What did you say when Luna told you she wanted to investigate Fiona?” “I said…if she should go on if she wanted to investigate.” He turned and leaned back lazily on the leather seat of the car, a cold smile hanging from his lips. “Nonsense. You and Fiona were classmates when you were
“Even if you want to thank me, you didn’t have to call me out this early in the morning, right?”At the break of dawn, Bonnie sat in the coffee shop owned by her family, yawning continuously. She sipped on her coffee, her eyes blurred, complaining to Luna in a low voice. Sitting in front of her, Luna smiled faintly. “Of course I’m not asking you out just to thank you.” She found the photo Joey Charles sent to her the other day and handed it to Bonnie. “Look.” Bonnie frowned and took the phone, then, her eyes widened immediately. “Isn’t this Aura Gibson?”To investigate her brother, Jason’s disappearance, Bonnie had been conducting follow-up reports on Aura for a long time. In the end, she was even tricked by Aura and stayed in the psychiatric hospital for a long time instead of Aura. But…Joshua sent Aura abroad in the name of furthering her studies and forbade her from returning to Banyan City, right? So why was the photo of Aura taken at the airport in Banyan City? And…W
