Joshua never lifted his head one bit.After a while, he said flatly, “Leave. I want to be alone.”“Okay.” Aura let out a deep sigh and left the office.In a stairwell outside the President’s office.One of Zach and Yuri gave out information, and the other secretly called Neil.“Boss, guess what we heard just now? Granny Lynch came to President Lynch’s office and made a huge fuss. I even said something about calling off the engagement…”Neil, on the other end of the line, became excited. “What else!”“We didn’t catch much of it, but after Granny Lynch left, Aura and President Lynch were discussing the calling off of the engagement. I guess they are going to split sooner or later!”“That’s great!” Neil exhaled. After praising Zach and Yuri, Neil hung up.He excitedly paced around the house. In the end, he could not help but take his phone and order a huge meal.An hour later, Anne was shocked to see a feast on the dining table. “Where did you get the money to buy all this food?
Not long after, Luna’s phone rang once more.She looked at the screen. It said, [Malcolm Quinn]. She furrowed her brows and answered.“Luna.” Malcolm’s low voice came from the other end of the line. “I saw the news in Banyan City.”Malcolm sighed. “Why did you become Joshua Lynch’s maid?”Luna shrugged. “It’s a long story.”Before coming back to the country, she has made many preparations on ways to get close to Joshua.However, before she could execute any of her plans, Neil has already sent Nellie to be with Joshua. She had no choice but to become Joshua’s maid.Everything went off track from her initial plans. However, she could still handle them.“I saw that Joshua’s people have already started dealing with the rumors online.” Malcolm sounded stern. “However, the party creating the rumors seems to be a tough character to deal with. Joshua’s men are having difficulty dealing with them. Do you want my help?”Luna let out a breath. “No need.”Back then, it was Malcolm who re
When Lucas entered with coffee, Joshua was still valiantly battling over the computer.Looking at the coding on the computer screen, Lucas was baffled.He placed the coffee on the table. “Sir, you have not taken matters into your own hands for many years.”Joshua nodded and lifted the cup of coffee. He downed it all in one go.He had never been challenged like this for so many years. He also had not been so angry for many years already! Joshua put down the empty cup and continued going at it on the keyboard!The first layer, second layer…by the fifth layer of the firewall, Nigel was sweating profusely. He knew that his opponent was a skilled hacker, but he did not expect them to be so great at it! Nigel was always proud of his hacking skills, but facing this opponent, he could barely defend himself! Beep, beep, beep!The computer was making a piercing sound.The system warned that not only did the opponent manage to get Nigel’s IP address, he even wanted to hack into his c
Just because Joshua could not locate him, he resorted to using threats?Nigel smiled lightly. He inserted his hard disk into the laptop, then sent Joshua an anonymous email.Joshua received an email. There was nothing in it but a video.In that video, Aura was sitting in front of the computer with huge sunglasses. She was looking at the coding on the computer screen, furrowing her brows.Soon after, she seemed to have thought of something and started typing furiously on the keyboard, decoding.“Uh…” Lucas looked at the computer screen in shock. “Sir, the hacker just now was Ms. Gibson?”“It’s not her.” Joshua lifted the cup of coffee and took a sip. “She only has basic computer skills. Also, the things that she typed were not the correct decoding method. I was dealing with a skilled hacker. It can’t be her.”Lucas nodded along, even though he did not quite understand.“Let’s head to Aura’s house.” Joshua put down the cup of coffee, stood up, and headed out of his office.Lucas
“M-Mr. Lynch!”The manager looked at the man with an overpowering aura. Her voice started to tremble.She deliberately spoke louder to warn Aura inside, but Aura was so engrossed in the internet news she barely heard her.“Aura is in, right?” Joshua swept a cold glance at the manager and entered the house.Behind him, Luna was quietly looking at the studio apartment in front of her. She was feeling extremely emotional.“Luna, thank you for buying me this apartment. I love it!” “You’re the best! I thought you would forget about me after marrying!” “Luna…”The scene of Aura running around the apartment appeared on her mind. She never thought that after six years, Aura would still stay there.Back then, when Luna just married Joshua, because she missed Aura a lot, she bought Aura this apartment with the money she earned from designing. She hoped that Aura could come to Banyan City to accompany her.What she got in return was Aura’s unbridled solicitation and deception.“Luna,
The computer barely just shut down when Joshua appeared by the door.“Joshua.” Aura awkwardly stood up and smiled unnaturally. She subconsciously placed herself in front of the computer, blocking the computer monitor from Joshua.“Why would you come here suddenly?”Joshua furrowed his brows lightly. He looked at Lucas. “Turn on the computer.”Aura tried to stop Lucas. She smiled at Joshua. “Why are you trying to look into my computer?”Then, she pretended to calmly instruct her manager, “Why don’t you bring the guest downstairs and make some tea?” When she said that, her tone was trembling a little already.Joshua, who was standing by the door, was indifferent. “There is no need for tea. If you don’t want Lucas to turn on your computer, you’ll do it yourself.”Aura clenched her fists tightly. He came too suddenly. She did not have time to prepare at all! Her computer was not only filled with her conversation with the spammers but also the photographs that were taken of Joshua
The manager was baffled by the slap.With her face down on the floor, she turned her head up, then looked at Aura blankly. “Aura, you were the one that told me to do it…”Why was it all her fault at that moment? “Since when have I told you to do such things?” Aura slapped her manager another time. “I told you not to make a huge fuss of this. Don’t do meaningless things like this, yet you refuse to listen!”Then, Aura looked at Joshua with her eyes filled with tears. “Joshua, Luna, I’m sorry that I did not take care of my manager. You can hate me all you want. I will accept it.”She wiped off her tears. “Thank you. If you did not come in time, I wouldn’t have known that she was using my computer to do such things!”Luna could not help but sneer at her exceptional acting skills.Joshua also slightly furrowed his brows. “Didn’t you notice one bit that she was using your computer to do such things?”“Of course,” Aura said looking aggrieved, “You should know that I’m not tech savvy
“The reason we were arguing was that she secretly stole my bank account passcode and used my money.”Then, Aura lowered her head. Her voice was filled with aggrievance. “I did not want to tell you at first. This is too embarrassing. I was just afraid that she did not have enough money, so I gave her my passcode. I did not know that she would steal so much from me…”After a while, Aura bit her lips. “Yet Luna wants to use this method to decide whether I knew about this or not, I feel wronged. I truly do not know anything! I was only being a kind person letting my manager use my money and my computer, yet I got dragged down as well.”“Nonsense!” Her manager bit her lips and retorted, “I do not know your passcode!”Aura mocked. “You dare admit that you know about it? Using my money without asking is considered theft. You could go to court for this!”Her manager could not explain herself.Luna pursed her lips. “No matter what, Ms. Gibson, you are innocent, right? Actually, you don’t
