When Luna rushed to Jude’s company, his secretary stopped her. “I’m sorry, Ms. Luna, Mr. Smith is not here.” Luna narrowed her eyes slightly. She lowered her eyes and took a glimpse of the time. It was past 9 a.m. in the morning, normal working hours. Besides, today was Monday, where could he be if he was not in his office? Right when Luna was wondering about Jude’s whereabouts, an executive of the Smith Group arrived outside of the office. “Secretary Colleen, President Smith called me, he asked me to come over and report to him, he…”The executive's words were interrupted by the secretary. "Director Smith is not here now."The executive frowned. "But President Smith just called me half an hour ago. Besides, I just saw President Smith's car downstairs, he should still be in the company, right?” The secretary grew anxious, gesturing at the executive with her eyes and guarding against Luna at the same time. “President Smith just left…”The executive was surprised, then final
He should have taken Joshua’s advice and escaped through the back door! During their call just now, Joshua asked him to run away, but as the President of the Smith Group, it would be too much of an embarrassment if he ran away as soon as Luna came calling. He thought she would never find him as long as he hid behind the hidden door in his office. But he underestimated Luna and her son’s abilities!His phone was switched off, but somehow it switched on all by itself and started playing music. What’s more, no matter how hard he tried to switch it off, he failed! At this thought, Jude could not help but smile at Luna while he muttered to himself, “Nigel was indeed Joshua’s son… Not only his hacking skills, but even his two-facedness was also exactly the same as Joshua’s…”“Why are you hiding from me, Mr. Smith?” After sitting down with Jude on the sofa, Luna did not want to waste any time on pleasantries and went straight to the point. Since Jude was already avoiding her, that prove
Jude wanted to reject Luna’s suggestion. But… Right when he was about to open his mouth to reject her, Luna took out her phone and pressed the button to set it on loudspeaker. Nigel’s cheerful voice drifted from the phone. “Mommy, if Uncle Jude does not agree, I’ll expose the secrets in his phone to the public! About the identity of the goddess that you have been crushing on for ten years, and how you lost badly at a game and reported your opponent to get his account knocked…I know everything!”Listening to the little guy's slightly immature and threatening words, Jude frowned. “Nigel, it’s wrong of you to do this! If I get angry enough, I will sue you!” “Oh.” Nigel pouted and said, “But Uncle Jude, if you sue me, my Daddy will have a heart-to-heart with you. Don’t worry, he can’t bear to watch as his beloved son rots in prison.”Jude was speechless. “…”The office was quiet for a long period of time. Finally, Jude had no choice but to admit defeat and called Joshua resignedly
Since the moment Jude said he wanted to hide behind the secret door, Joshua had expected this outcome. That’s why he immediately hacked into the surveillance system of Jude’s company and located the CCTV camera installed in his office. He saw the hidden hope and expectation in her eyes when she suspected that he was the one who had sent the emails to Bonnie. Deep down, she still hoped it was him, and still wished the answer he gave her was that he once cherished her in his heart. Otherwise, why would she rush to Jude’s office to question him and force him to call Joshua?But…Joshua laughed bitterly. The lives of two children separated them. Even if she knew that he had feelings for her, and was helping her behind her back… Could she really forget about the deaths of their children and choose to be with him? She would still be in pain; she would still feel conflicted. Him suffering alone was better than the both of them suffering together. Joshua sucked in a deep breath in frus
“If I didn’t want Fiona to spend more time with me, why else would I send the emails to Bonnie? For Luna? What a joke. Don't you know? I hated her right from the beginning, for six years. Nothing has changed!”…Joshua’s words rang in her ears continuously. After leaving Jude’s office, she boarded the first bus she saw. The people coming and going on the bus seemed to have nothing to do with her. It was not until the bus reached the terminal that she got out of the bus in a daze.Getting off the bus, she gazed around at her surroundings, and unexpectedly discovered that she had arrived at Anne’s house by chance.It was a working day and during working hours, Anne should be at the hospital right now, right? But recently Anne has been busy with her recent engagement to John Young, she might have applied for leave and stayed at home. At this thought, she headed upstairs and pressed on Anne’s doorbell. Unexpectedly, Anne was home. Not only was she home, her boyfriend, John was there
John laughed at his girlfriend’s appearance. He walked inside and put the food on the table as he glanced at Anne helplessly. “You’re the first person I’ve seen to start crying herself when she’s comforting her friend.” Anne wiped at her tears and rolled her eyes at him. “I’m not being emotional; Joshua Lynch crossed the line! Do you know? Even though Luna won the competition yesterday, it was all a trick that he set up! He intentionally sent two emails to Luna’s friend, and asked her to take the stage at a critical moment and expose Fiona’s conspiracy, so she would lose and have more time to spend with him! This man deserves to be cursed at, don’t you think so!” John frowned slightly. He lowered his head and set the table for three as he spoke, “This reason won't stand under scrutiny.”Anne was startled. "What do you mean?"Sitting on the sofa, Luna also raised her eyebrows and looked at him silently.Jude sighed, "Don't you think Joshua’s words and his actions are actually f
At John’s retort, Anne was speechless. In the end, she slammed her fork on the table and shouted, “John Young, whose side are you on? Why do you keep speaking up for Joshua?”John sighed and said, “I only told you all these because I don’t want your friend to be tricked.” He glanced at Luna’s troubled expression and hesitated for a long time before he finally opened his mouth and said, “I’m so certain that Joshua did all these the day Fiona became chief designer because…because of that woman, Charmaine Ross. My colleague is her cousin, he’s her only family here in Banyan City. “Two weeks ago, when Charmaine was fired, she did receive a sum of money requesting her to leave the city. Back then, my colleague asked me to drive her out of the city.”Hearing John’s words, Luna raised her head unconsciously. She bit her lip. “Then what happened?”“Then…” John sighed, “I remember clearly, that day, after the news of you bullying Fiona was exposed online, someone contacted my colleague, wa
Luna could not reject Shannon at all. Besides…she should celebrate with her teammates. So, she yawned and said, “Send me the address, I’ll go over there right now.”“Great!” After obtaining Luna’s approval, Shannon hung up the phone excitedly. Soon, the address where the celebratory party was held was sent to Luna's phone."Are you going to celebrate with them?" Beside her, Anne who was also awakened by her ringing phone yawned and switched into a comfortable position before continuing her nap. She reminded her in a low voice. “You behave badly when you’re drunk, plus you were in a bad mood today, try not to drink so much when you’re there… Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll tell everyone about your history with Joshua.”Luna tidied her hair and straightened her clothes as she smiled. “Alright.” She never planned to drink in the first place. Drinking messed things up for her, she had experienced that one too many times. Tonight, she just wanted to have fun with everyone else. But the ot
