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
Hearing Joshua’s words, Luna, who had been pretending to be drunk, stiffened immediately. Why would he say such things to her…in such a sweet and loving tone? Why would he say that his words hurt her too much?So…John was right? He knew that she was right beside Jude, that’s why he would say such cruel things over the phone, right? At this thought, Luna narrowed her eyes and continued pretending to be drunk as she studied his sharp and defined jaw. She remembered the first time he held her in this position was the day he brought her to see his family. Back then, to reject the marriage that his family arranged for him, to not marry Hailey Walter, he agreed to marry her instead. He brought her to Banyan City, to the Lynch family home, and announced in front of his grandmother and his father, Adrian Lynch, that he was going to marry her.“Be it her looks, her capabilities or her family background, this woman is not worthy of you! We disagree!”“Exactly, Joshua, even if you do
“Just drive.” Lucas coughed lightly and hurriedly turned the rearview mirror to the side and started the engine.After the car spurred into motion, Joshua sucked in a deep breath and grabbed Luna's hand that was holding his tie, restrained her, and finally confined the twisting and moving woman in his arms.“Don’t move.” He frowned. “She never moved so much when she got drunk in the past.”Luna pouted silently and finally stopped her roaming hands. Lucas, who was busy driving, laughed lightly too, “Maybe Luna drank a different type of wine tonight.” “I remember she used to talk a lot when she got drunk, but unexpectedly, today she didn’t talk much, instead she moved around so much.” Joshua lowered his eyes and glanced indifferently at the woman in his arms.A long while later, he turned and looked out the car window, his voice sounding slightly hoarse as he said, “Maybe she didn’t want to talk to me.” Today, all he wanted was to make her give up on him, so that she could le
Listening to Joshua’s telephone conversation with Fiona as he held her in his arms, Luna closed her eyes helplessly. To tell the truth, at that moment, she wished she could push him coldly away, order Lucas to stop the car and leave, slamming the door behind her as she went. But she could not do so. After all, Joshua said a lot of things in front of her that he would not say when she was sober. If she got up now, he would know she had merely been pretending to be drunk…The relationship between them would only become more awkward than before. Joshua would not be able to keep up his ruthless, emotional act and she had no choice but to face his shallow feelings for her. That was why since she had decided to pretend to be drunk, she had to keep up the act all the way until the end. “Come home earlier if you can.” On the other end of the phone, Fiona’s voice was soft and gentle. “I made you some delicious food.” Joshua laughed lightly, “Why would you do that? I should be the o
“When Ms. Luna wakes up, should I tell her you were the one who sent her home?”Joshua lowered his eyes and looked at the red-faced woman lying on the sofa. “No. Just tell her that her colleagues sent her home.” He looked at Luna deeply again. “She’ll get a headache when she’s hungover, prepare some soup for her to help her sober up.” Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he sighed deeply and said, “It’s okay, I’ll do it.” With this, he took off his tie, unbuttoned the two topmost buttons of his shirt, then turned and entered the kitchen.He had never made her soup before. Back then when he made soup for Fiona, Fiona even secretly recorded him with his phone and sent the video to Luna to show off. He wondered how she felt when she watched the video. To tell the truth, that night he only cooked the soup because he remembered that she always suffered from hangovers the next day. Initially, he planned to ask Lucas to send the soup to Luna, but Fiona caught him when he
Reading the two sentences on the screen, an endless variety of possible scenarios immediately exploded in Luna’s mind. Although the message the anonymous sender sent to her had disappeared somehow, she remembered it clearly. The sender said that they were ‘doing well’ and that they were the people she missed dearly. This email address was the one she used when she was working as Moon. Apart from her colleagues overseas, only Nigel and Neil knew about it.She bit her lip and quickly found the photos that Joey sent to her before. Her eyes were fixed intently on the little boy holding Aura’s hand. A ridiculous idea slowly surfaced in her mind.Could it be…? Was the telepathy between triplets that Nellie and Nigel always talked about true after all?Could it be that Neil and Theo were not dead? Could the little boy holding Aura’s hand be Neil? As for the person who sent the emails to her… Could it have been Neil, too?At this thought, she bit her lip, her hands shaking from agita
“I'm just helping you. Didn’t you say a long time ago that you’d leave after finishing your business here in the city? Now that everything has been settled, why aren’t you rushing to leave? Do you have any lingering feelings for anyone or anything here?” Luna narrowed her eyes. She knew what Fiona was trying to imply, but…“Ms. Blake, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed to hear that I don’t plan on leaving today or tomorrow, but please don’t misunderstand, I’m not staying in Banyan City because of you or Joshua. I have my reasons.” She sucked in a deep breath. “Yes, thank you for your kindness, but my children and I have cut all ties with Mr. Lynch a long time ago, and he doesn’t have to prepare a private jet for us. After my issues are settled, we’ll leave.” With that, she hung up the phone. On the other end of the phone, Fiona listened to the beeping tone and clutched the phone tightly in her grasp. She narrowed her eyes, a flash of bitterness streaking across her orbs.Luna, t
