As soon as he turned around, Joshua caught a glimpse of the bloodstain on the sheets where Alice laid down moments ago.Joshua let out a sigh of relief and left a note on the bed. With that, he left the bedroom. Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Alice discovered that she was on her period. She was so frustrated that she felt like hitting her head against the wall.She could not believe the impeccable timing. She had planned to seduce Joshua so that she could officially become his wife, but her sudden menstruation ruined her plans.Alice cleaned herself up and rummaged around the medicine cabinet until she found her birth control pill. She swallowed the pill in one gulp. She was willing to do whatever it took to get Joshua to sleep with her! Alice came out of the bathroom with a smile, but Joshua was nowhere to be found. Instead, there was a bowl of steaming hot soup on the nightstand, along with a pack of tampons.A maid was busy changing the bedsheets. When she saw Alice emerge from

Chapter 272

“Nothing much.” Anne pursed her lips. “As you know, our hospital has the best plastic surgery department in all of Banyan City. Recently, a lot of people have come by to ask if any of us had seen Hailey. They think she might’ve stopped by our hospital.”She continued, “Anyway, I heard that this Hailey girl has been obsessed with plastic surgery ever since her fiancé dumped her. Their marriage was apparently arranged, but he didn’t want to marry her.”Luna calmly stuffed a forkful of food into her mouth. “This fiancé of hers is none other than Joshua Lynch.”Anne’s jaw dropped. “Does that mean…the one who stole her fiancé was…”“It was me.” Luna gave Anne a smile. “Surprising, isn’t it?”Anne still gaped at her. “Surprising, indeed.”Luna finished her food and set down her cutlery. She got up, grabbed her coat, and said to Anne while she put it on, “Like me, Ms. Walter is just another poor girl who fell head over heels for the wrong person. She and I both sacrificed too much for t

Chapter 273

Luna shrugged and gave Shannon her phone back. “Get back to work. You shouldn’t be looking at stuff like this during office hours.”Shannon’s jaw dropped. “Director Luna, don’t you…want to explain anything?”Luna glanced at her. “Why do I need to explain anything to you? Maybe I should put it this way: None of you will believe me even if I explained, so why should I waste my energy?” With that, she turned around and went back into her office with a small smile.To be honest, Luna did not care that Alice had gone to the press. She did not care if everyone who saw that article ended up misunderstanding her and thought she was a selfish, jealous woman. Long gone was the Luna who cared about the opinions of others, who strived to please everyone she met.All she wanted to do was finish her sketches in time so she could take Neil and Nellie on an outing as Joshua promised. It was another busy day. When it was time to get off from work, Luna’s assistant knocked on her door. “Director L

Chapter 274

Luna’s grip on Granny Lynch was extremely tight as she glared at Granny Lynch. “The painting I ruined was a replica. It wasn’t even the real one, but even if it was, you have no right to lecture me on this!”“Director Luna…” There was a sudden knock on the door, and Courtney entered. “Mr. Lynch wants you to…” Courtney stopped in her tracks as she took in the scene before her. The two women seemed to be caught in some sort of wrestle. Courtney’s gaze fell on Luna’s angry expression and the way she gripped Granny Lynch’s wrists.Although caught off-guard, Courtney soon came to her senses. She immediately rushed forward. “Director Luna, please let go of Granny Lynch. She’s the CEO’s grandmother!”As soon as she said this, Granny Lynch frowned and let out a shriek. “Ouch! It hurts! I think I have a fracture! She’s squeezing my hands so hard. I think my bones are broken!”Granny Lynch’s screams instantly caught the attention of everyone else outside the room. The employees crowded aroun

Chapter 275

Courtney led Luna and Theo to Joshua’s office. When they arrived, Granny Lynch was perched on the couch as she made a scene. “Joshua, I’m a frail old lady, and my bones aren’t as strong as they used to be anymore. That Luna girl gripped me so hard just now. I thought my bones were about to break! “That painting was worth ten million dollars! That’s not a small amount. How could you pay for it just like that? Don’t you know I can buy a full set of Moon’s jewelry with that amount of money?” Theo and Luna could hear Granny Lynch’s shrieks even from outside the door. Theo listened to this with a solemn expression. After a moment, however, he glanced at Luna, slightly amused. “Turns out Granny Lynch is also a fan of your work.” Luna scoffed but said nothing in response. Courtney gently knocked on the door before entering the room. “President Lynch, Director Luna is here.” Joshua sat in his office chair as he rubbed his eyebrows, seemingly frustrated with all this commotion. “Let

Chapter 276

Luna knew Granny Lynch was lying to herself.“Mr. Lynch never defied you, you say? Many years ago, you wanted him to marry Hailey Walter, yet he ended up marrying Luna Gibson instead. After she died, you wanted him to retake Hailey as a second wife, but he got engaged with Aura Gibson. You gave him and Aura your blessing, but in the end, they broke up.” Luna stared at Granny Lynch impassively. “Mr. Lynch has been defying you all his life. Since when did he listen to you?”Luna thought her statement would shut Granny Lynch up and that she could finally get back at Granny Lynch for ruining her sketch. To her surprise, however, Granny Lynch chuckled.“None of the stuff you said was true. In fact, it wasn’t me who wanted Joshua to marry Hailey Walter at all—it was his father’s wish. I’m afraid you have no idea how much Joshua respects me.” Granny Lynch continued smugly, “Many years ago, when he was married to Luna Gibson, I told him that I wanted great-grandchildren, but Luna didn’t wan

Chapter 277

Granny Lynch took the check from Theo and glanced at it. Her expression changed to that of a confused one. Why was Joshua’s name signed at the bottom?Theo smiled. “The reason I’m here today, besides picking up Luna from work, is that I wanted to return this check to Joshua.”Granny Lynch frowned as she tried to make sense of what was happening. Then, after a moment, her eyes widened, and she looked back at Theo. “Is this the check that Joshua paid Mr. Allen with? Are you…”“I’m Theo Allen.” Theo grinned at her. “I also want to explain to you, Granny, that the real painting worth ten million dollars is still in my study. I’d never display it publicly. The painting ruined that day was a fake one.”He glanced at Granny Lynch’s astonished face and continued, “As soon as he found out the painting was ruined, Mr. Lynch immediately issued me a check as compensation. However, I knew I couldn’t take it, so I decided to return it to him.”Granny Lynch was so shocked that she said nothing i

Chapter 278

Unfortunately, because Moon had officially retired, all her jewelry pieces had been marked up to exorbitant prices. It was almost impossible to get her hands on any of them since they were so expensive.Theo claimed that the woman standing in front of her was Moon herself. Naturally, Granny Lynch could not believe that.“Why is it impossible?” The corner of Theo’s lips turned up into a smirk. “Why would a famous artist such as myself be friends with her if I didn’t know she was Moon?”Granny Lynch’s face turned an even paler shade of white. She glanced at Theo and said, her voice trembling, “Then…the drawing I tore…”“That sketch is worth millions, at least.”The blood drained from Granny Lynch’s face. Seeing that Joshua did not deny anything, she could confirm that Theo was indeed telling the truth. Joshua glanced at his grandmother’s stricken face and picked up the phone. He dialed a number and said to the person on the other line, “Come into my office and send Granny home.”

“Sir, I have good news. Someone is involved in the promotion of that news article,” Lucas’ voice rang out through the phone. Joshua frowned at the report. “Did you manage to find out who it was?”“I can’t seem to track him down. The spammers were hired by a foreign company, and some Andrew Walter owns it, but there’s no information about this person at all. I think it might be an alias.”Joshua’s brows furrowed even tighter together. “Keep looking.” Joshua hung up the phone, and his grip on the steering wheel grew tighter. How much had Alice changed within the last six years? Was there anything else about her that he had yet to find out? The car soon arrived at Blue Bay Villa.“Joshua!” Alice had been waiting at the front door, and as soon as Joshua’s car stopped, she approached him with a smile and draped a coat over his shoulders. “It’s a bit chilly outside, isn’t it?”Joshua glanced at her. “Yes, it is. Autumn is coming.”“I’ll go out tomorrow to buy you some warmer cloth

Chapter 280

This was Alice and Joshua’s first meal together alone. Alice could not hide her excitement and kept offering Joshua more food during their meal. Joshua had wanted to talk to her about what happened on this day, but seeing how enthusiastic she was, he could not bear to bring it up.After he finished his food, Joshua set down his cutlery. “Alice, I have something to tell you.”Alice was in the middle of clearing the table as she handed the dirty plates to a servant and smiled at him. “Can’t it wait? What’s so urgent that you have to bring it up right here?”“There was a surveillance camera in the art gallery that day.” Joshua gave her a meaningful look. “The painting Luna ruined was a fake one. However, there was a pinhole camera embedded in the painting.”Alice’s hands stiffened at that. Then, after a moment, she let out a strained laugh. “How’s that possible…”Theo was there on the day Luna ruined the painting. If he did have surveillance footage of the entire incident, why did he
