Alarm bells rang in Luna’s head. “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she immediately denied.“You know exactly what I’m talking about.” Adrian shifted his position and leaned back gracefully against the couch. “Ms. Luna, please don’t forget. I was once a jewelry designer myself before Joshua’s mother passed away. Besides, I have a lot of connections in this industry.”He curled his lips into a smile before he continued, “I’ve read through your résumé. You tried to conceal your true identity, so I’m sure the last thing you want is for me to expose you here.”Luna frowned. After the initial wave of shock passed, she now felt strangely calm. She looked at Adrian warily and said in a low voice, “How did you know?”Why was Adrian investigating her?“In case you’re wondering, I wasn’t investigating you on purpose.” Adrian let out a small laugh. “I know that Nellie is the true identity of the famous jewelry designer known as Y, and because of this, I did a lot of research about h

“Delicious fried chicken!” The fried chicken was served ten minutes later, and Nellie hopped around in glee. Neil was just as elated, but he still snuck an apprehensive glance at Luna. “Mommy…”“You can eat,” said Luna with a small smile. She was already seated at the dining table.“Here you go, Sirs. Have a taste of this mushroom soup,” said Lily enthusiastically as she set down bowls of soup in front of everyone at the table. “Ms. Luna was afraid that fried chicken alone would be too heavy, so she made this mushroom soup herself!”Adrian picked up a spoonful of soup and took a sip. “Not bad.”Joshua, however, sat in silence. He caught a glimpse of Luna, who had been trying to keep her right hand under the table and out of sight. “What’s wrong with your hand?”Luna shot him an impassive glance. “Nothing. I’m just not hungry.”“Not hungry, or did you injure yourself?” Joshua’s dark eyes seemed to see right through her. “Lift your hand.”Luna frowned. She did not want to do as

Joshua stared back at Luna in silence.After a while, he shot her a glance and answered impassively, “I have my plans.”“Mr. Lynch.” Luna let out a deep breath. “I know that you’re probably showing Ms. Gibson mercy because you have a close relationship with her. You’ve known her for a long time, and it’s understandable you’re finding it difficult to punish her for what she’s done. However, she did do something wrong, and she deserves to pay the price for it. If you can’t bear to do anything to her, you can pass all the evidence to the police, and they can take care of it.”Luna’s gaze never wavered from Joshua as she tried to suppress the rage in her heart, continuing slowly, “Attempted murder isn’t a death sentence. If she gets convicted, she only has to spend a few years in prison. Perhaps by the time she gets released, Nellie would’ve already grown up and can protect herself. She won’t face the same threat that she’s facing now anymore.” Luna heaved a sigh and frowned at Joshua

When Luna woke up the next day, Neil had already headed to kindergarten on his own.He had prepared breakfast for her before he left and left a note that read, [Mommy, by the time you read this, I’ve already left for school. Please remember to take your meals and keep your wound dry. Also, I’ve left this for you.] Underneath the note was a pregnancy test kit.Luna perched on the side of the bed as she read the note. She glanced at the plate of food as well as the pregnancy test kit on the table. Her eyes started to tear up. Her children’s thoughtfulness over her tugged at her heartstrings. She hesitated for a moment before getting up and heading into the bathroom, taking the pregnancy test with her.Only one line. She was not pregnant, after all.Luna let out a wry smile and tossed the pregnancy test into the trash can. She should have known that it would not be so easy. Her life had never been easy.After she washed up, Luna sat down at the dining table. She ate her breakfast

“It’s… a long story.” Zach scratched his head, embarrassed. “I know that it might seem a bit hard to believe, but we’re both good people. We’ve always obeyed every single one of Boss’ commands. We know that you’re related to our boss, so we’ll surely try our best to take care of you!”Luna froze in astonishment. It took a long while before she finally forced out, “Thank you…”She followed Wesley into the building and gave herself a small knock on the head. Since when did Neil have two burly ‘brothers’ like Zach and Yuri?“Ms. Luna not only knows our boss, Mr. Lynch personally, but seems to be close with our security guards, too,” remarked Wesley pointedly as they got into the elevator. He pressed a button for one of the floors and added, “You should’ve joined us earlier. If you did, you probably would have held a permanent position by now, instead of working as an intern.”There was a hint of sarcasm in Wesley’s tone. Luna gave him a faint smile. “I’m happy to be working as an inte
