Luna gasped. “None!” She denied it instantly, afraid that Joshua would find out about her relationship with Neil.Joshua said nothing about it as he merely looked at her meaningfully, to which Luna grew more anxious by the second.After a while, she lifted her head. “I’m not related to him—honest. I just...” Luna took a deep breath and looked at Lucas who was standing next to Joshua.“It’s because of Mr. Bean. He said that he wanted to find out who drugged you. He said that if it wasn’t me, it’d be the other little boy outside.”At the mention of Neil, Luna pretended to be estranged from him. “I’m guessing that the little boy was just playing a prank on you, but he won’t be able to take it if you get angry. He’s just a young boy, after all.”“So you took it upon yourself and admitted that you drugged me?”“Mmh.”“Ah.” Joshua raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Who knew that Ms. Luna would be such a caring person to an unknown child?”Luna nodded and smiled lightly. “Yes, that’s my
Joshua smiled. “That’s true.” Then, Joshua looked at Luna. “Somehow, I don’t care what you do to Aura. I’m quite looking forward to seeing who’d win.” Luna’s heart sank. No wonder he did not mention Aura previously; he was waiting for her to do that. He wanted to see who would win between her and Aura? Luna doubted so.Joshua was only trying to give Aura some sense of crisis, since he felt that he had spoiled Aura too much, perhaps?After all, Joshua was willing to kill Luna—who was pregnant with the triplets—back then because of Aura, what more at that moment?Unfortunately, back then, Joshua tried to please Aura, and it tortured her. At that moment, to please Aura, she still had to be tortured.Luna could not help but feel bitter at the thought, but her smile never faded. “Naturally, I won’t be able to beat Ms. Gibson.”Whether it be six years ago or six years after, she would always lose to Aura. “That’s not necessarily true.” Joshua closed his eyes. He gently rubbed th
Luna took Nellie and Neil back to Blue Bay Villa, and she texted Anne that Neil was with her on the way there.“Tsk, tsk! The scumbag’s house is pretty nice.” It was Neil’s first time in the villa. As he eyed the villa’s understated luxury, he could not help but scoff, “The four of us lived in a dozen square meters space when we were overseas, but he lived in such a huge place here alone!”Luna furrowed her brows. “Neil, watch what you’re saying!” Luckily, the maids were off work at that time, or they would have been in big trouble if someone overheard him! “I’ve looked around, and no else but the three of us are in this building right now.” Neil smiled cheekily and raised his pinky finger, tugging at Luna’s fingers. “Mommy, I know what you’re worried about. I’ll be good!”“Tsk.” Nellie rolled her eyes at Neil. She crossed her arms at her chest and sat on the sofa angrily. “If you were, you wouldn’t have landed Daddy in the hospital and Mommy taking the blame for you.”The more
Neil did not give anything away; that was why he wanted Nigel to take a guess! “Firstly, you just returned not long ago. There aren’t many places you can go to. Also, you want me to take a guess, this place must be somewhere I can think of but won’t dare to believe it. Lastly, this place sounded exciting and interesting to you, so you just had to share it with me.”Nigel still had a child-like voice, but his tone was mature and calm. “With all things considered, the place you are at should be that scumbag Joshua Lynch’s house.”Neil was utterly depressed. “It’s no fun playing with you.”“So don’t play boring things like these.” Nigel gently smiled. “Tell me, why are you at his place?”Neil pursed his lips and recounted what happened that night to Nigel.“You’re too reckless,” said Nigel earnestly. “Luckily, Mommy handled it well. If not, that scumbag might find out about your relations with Mommy. Next time, wherever you go and anything you do in the country, he’ll know about it
Neil spent almost an hour in Joshua’s study before he came out.He carefully returned to the guest bedroom. Once he was under his covers, he texted, [Nigel, resume the surveillance and recordings]. [Mmh.] Nigel texted while controlling the system, [What took you so long?]Even if the size of Joshua’s folders were huge, it would not take so long.Neil was silent for a while before he picked up his phone and replied, [I saw some stuff on this computer, and I copied them down. Will send it over together with the documents to you. It has to do with Mommy].[Okay.]Unable to feel the change in his brother’s emotions, Nigel replied directly, [I’ve resumed the system. It should be quite late over at your end. Rest. You can send me the documents tomorrow].[Okay!]After replying, Neil put his phone under the pillow and hugged his chest as he gazed at the ceiling in the dark.He had always been under his Mommy’s influence and under the impression that Joshua was a cheating scumbag w
After a while, Joshua waved his hands. “Please leave.” Lucas nodded, turned, and left. He shut the door on the way out.With eyes narrowed, Joshua looked at the two investigation documents in front of him as he knocked his large hands on the desk. After a while, he smiled bitterly. Putting the two documents together, only one name appeared: Aura Gibson. It was obvious.She wanted Nellie dead. She wanted to get rid of the people who treated her best.Joshua shut his eyes. Aura. She was Luna Gibson’s most beloved sister. Even before she left, she had a will that asked Joshua to take good care of her younger sister.The other person was the daughter he had with Luna Gibson.“Luna, you gave me a challenging problem to deal with.”…Lynch Mansion.Aura had waited in the hall for half an hour as she held an intricately wrapped box in her arms.“Is Granny Lynch up yet?”Looking at the servants lazing around in the mansion, Aura was rather impatient.The servant looked at he
“Nonsense!”Aura’s tears infuriated Granny Lynch. She slammed the teacup on the coffee table with vengeance. “Back then when Joshua wanted to get engaged to you, no one in the family agreed to it, yet he insisted on it, saying how he was fulfilling Luna’s will!“Now five years have passed and the family has finally accepted you, yet he’s planning to call off the wedding? Is this just a game to him?”Granny Lynch looked at the jewelry on the table before she turned to look at Aura benevolently. “Aura, don’t worry. You’re filial, and I’ll help you. Joshua must’ve been seduced by that maid, and he must’ve been confused for a moment when he said he wanted to break off your engagement. Don’t worry, I won’t allow Joshua to call off the wedding.”Aura bit her lip as her expression was riddled with grief. “Granny, I’m relieved to hear that. You treat me well…”Then, Aura wiped her tears away. “Since Granny treats me so well, I have to do the same. Please accept these gifts today. I reme
“No need.”Luna smiled. “It’s a small matter.” Then, she turned around and walked gracefully to the two bodyguards. “Let’s go.”Her graceful and aloof attitude stunned the bodyguards. Even the driver was stunned.Was this woman only a maid? Why was she so graceful and calm at handling sudden matters?“Let’s go.”When the bodyguards were still in a daze, Luna had already walked past them and headed to the sedan by the side. She opened the car door and entered the car.The two bodyguards came to their senses and hurriedly got into the car and drove off.The driver saw the sedan vanish from sight, and he carefully picked up his phone and dialed Lucas. “Mr. Bean…”...Granny Lynch was waiting for Luna in a private room of a restaurant.The bodyguard pushed the door open and Luna walked in calmly. She sat in front of Granny Lynch. “Hello.”“You’re Luna?”Granny Lynch furrowed her brows a little as she scrutinized the woman with intricate facial features in front of her. “As expe
