Chapter 251

After leaving the coffee shop, Luna went to the fresh market for grocery shopping.Anne was not good at cooking, so since they lived together, naturally Luna was the one in charge of grocery shopping and cooking.Holding the groceries in hand, Luna stood at the door. She reached for her keys when she heard Anne’s shy voice drifting in from inside the house.“Luna is coming home soon, John, don’t…”“In a way, she’s almost like our cupid, she won’t mind…”“She’s in a bad mood recently, things have been rough for her, we shouldn’t irritate her.”“Then we should make it fast, before she comes back…”Luna frowned.Bad timing.Placing the groceries at the entrance, she huffed out a long breath and turned and left.The sky darkened, and Banyan City was lit up in an array of bright neon lights.Luna wandered alone on the streets for a long, long time.Unconsciously, she walked to the entrance of an art gallery.She took a glance at the display board at the entrance: Renowned Artist

Chapter 252

With that, she pointed at a painting behind her. “Mrs. Lynch, do you know the name of this painting?”Alice rolled her eyes.What was this woman doing, was she testing her?She replied carelessly, “This painting is named ‘The Act’, it’s used to critique people who intentionally put on an act in front of others to boast.”Luna smiled. “This painting is perfect for you.”Alice paused then realized Luna was using the painting to make fun of her!She was accusing her of putting on an act!Anger boiled in her chest. She tugged at Joshua’s arm. “Honey, she’s saying we don’t love each other. Kiss me and prove it to her!”Joshua stiffened slightly, his arm still in her grip.Running into Luna in this situation already made him feel awkward, and now Alice wanted him to act all lovey-dovey in front of her?And… kiss her?He frowned. “Stop making a scene.”Since Alice returned to his side, he did consider kissing her.But every time he almost did, somehow, his body instinctively reje

Chapter 253

“Oh my god…”Right when Luna’s finger pierced through the painting, Alice exclaimed in shock, “This is Mr. Allen’s favorite painting! Luna, even if you hate me, you don’t have to go so far as to destroy this painting just because I like it?”There were not many people in the exhibition hall at night, and the spot where they stood was darkly lit, so initially, no one noticed the ruckus going on between them.With Alice’s shout, everyone turned their attention to them.Before Luna could regain her footing, the crowd’s critical stares and words of reproach were heard.“Why did you come to an art exhibition if you didn’t appreciate art?”“Apparently, someone once offered Master Allen ten million dollars to buy this piece of art but he refused!” “Oh my god, can she afford to compensate him?“Jealous women are so crazy, destroying it just because someone else liked it?”…The rumble of the crowd’s discussion was heard clearly.Luna smiled wryly. She drowned out the voices behin

In a corner of the second floor, he was talking on the phone.And the direction his eyes were looking in… was the direction in which she pushed Luna!In an instant, Alice’s face turned pale as a ghost.“Mr. Lynch is our sponsor, and he’s your husband, he would definitely remain fair and just.”With that, the manager immediately ordered a subordinate. “Go and invite Mr. Lynch here!”Alice’s expression turned immeasurably ugly.She was regretting her decision deeply.Joshua saw her reaching out and pushing Luna.She just returned to his side, he still had his reservations about her, if he realized she was not as kind and gentle as she pretended to be…Would he be suspicious of her?“Ms. Luna.”The manager looked at her calmly. “Whether you intentionally destroyed this painting or you were framed, we will know the truth once Mr. Lynch is here.”Luna stood on the spot; her hands clenched tightly into fists at her sides.Alice had framed her for destroying Mr. Allen’s painting,

Chapter 255

Joshua paused in his tracks.He turned back, a cold expression on his face, looked at the man behind him and said, “Master Allen, I think you might be mistaken…”Beside him, the manager hurriedly rushed to Theo’s side. “The person who destroyed your painting is Ms. Luna and not Mrs. Lynch.”Theo smiled faintly, turned and threw a gentle glance in Luna’s direction. “Why didn’t you say that you were framed? Just because he paid ten million in compensation for you?”Luna turned pale.She lifted her eyes and looked at Theo, then turned and glanced at Joshua.The man’s face was cold and expressionless.“That’s because no one will stand on my side.”A moment later, she raised her head and stared at Joshua, saying word by word, “There’s no CCTV recording, and the only witness chose to remain silent, no matter what I say, no one will believe me.”“Why would no one believe you?”Theo laughed lightly, strode to Luna, and looked at Joshua with clear, calm eyes. “Mr. Lynch, as the only w

Chapter 256

Joshua lifted his gaze and glanced in the direction where Luna and Theo had walked off from, their hands still intertwined. They had known each other for just a few minutes, yet they held hands like a couple would!Joshua could not help but frown at the sight.“Joshua… Did you really not see anything?” asked Alice tentatively as they made their way down the stairs, her hand still clutching his arm.Joshua stared blankly ahead. “What do you think?”Alice bit her lip and remained silent. After a moment, she said, “Actually, I—”“I know,” Joshua gently interrupted her. “I know that you’re trying to take revenge on Luna for kidnapping your kids, but this will be the first and last time, Alice.”He let out a deep sigh before continuing, “If you’re still holding a grudge against her, you shouldn’t have asked me to let her out. Now that we’ve released her, you shouldn’t be trying to take revenge on her.” His voice was low and solemn.Alice chewed her lip nervously. “Alright, I won’t le

“I'm just curious,” mused Luna as she sat in the passenger seat and gazed out at the road in front of her. “How did you know I wasn’t the one who ruined your painting?”Theo smiled in response as his hands gripped the steering wheel. “What if I told you, I believe that Moon isn’t that kind of person?”Luna froze momentarily at his reply before a chuckle escaped her lips. “Mr. Allen is familiar with me?”“I used to be interested in jewelry design as well, and I tried it for a while, but I eventually gave up because it was too hard. During that time, I did a lot of research on my own, so I was acquainted with your work. To say that Moon is a household name in the field of jewelry design won’t be an exaggeration.”Luna was surprised to hear that, but after pondering over it for a few moments, she thought it made sense. If not for the fact that he recognized her as Moon, Theo probably would not have rescued her back there, much less offered to send her home.Her lips curled into a fai

“Don’t trust everyone you meet…” Luna echoed then smirked. “That sounds like a piece of good advice. Unfortunately, there are a lot of good liars out there. Some of them are so skilled that even though the situation called for the truth, they can still lie through their teeth and claim they didn’t see anything.”Luna lifted her head and gave Joshua a defiant look. “Do you agree with me, Mr. Lynch?”Joshua’s expression darkened. He remained silent for a long while before he finally confessed, “I’m sorry for what happened just now, but I have my reasons. Alice—”“I know what your reasons are. It’s because you can’t bear to let your oh-so-perfect wife admit she did something wrong, isn’t it?” Luna interjected, her suppressed rage finally taking over. “I genuinely can’t understand you, Joshua.“Luna Gibson sacrificed so much for you in your marriage, but did you give her anything in return? Every night, she waited for you to get off work until past midnight. She was unhappy and your fa

Chapter 259

It was surveillance footage of Alice trying to frame her! The camera had caught everything from an excellent angle with Alice’s face in full view and even managed to record the sound.Luna stared at her computer screen dazedly before she suddenly recalled what Theo had said earlier. ‘I display knock-offs of my own artwork and place them in surveillance camera blind spots. However, these paintings have cameras embedded inside them…’...“Luna, Luna!” The next morning, Luna was woken up by Anne’s continuous knocking. She rubbed her eyes and crawled out of bed. “What’s wrong?”Last night, as soon as she finished watching the footage, Luna sent the video to Nigel. Nigel had called her in an attempt to console her, and the phone call had lasted a few hours. As a result, Luna had gone to sleep at 2am. She was woken up at 7am.“Someone’s here for you! It’s a guy called Theo. He says he’s here to have breakfast with you and drive you to work!” Luna immediately jolted awake and lea

Chapter 260

Joshua turned around when he heard Theo’s voice. As soon as his gaze met Luna’s and Theo’s, his expression darkened.Alice, too, caught sight of them. She pursed her lips in indignation and said to Joshua pointedly, “Look at that. Luna and Theo Allen had just met yesterday, yet they're already here on a breakfast date. Tsk.”Joshua could not help but frown at Alice’s tone. After a moment, he strode to where the duo sat and plopped down in the empty seat right next to Luna. “Let’s share a table.” Alice had no choice but to hastily follow, but she noticed that the only available seat left was next to Theo. She sat down reluctantly.As soon as she sat down, Alice realized that something did not seem right. The café was not that crowded at all, and there were unoccupied tables all over the place. They did not need to share a table with Luna and Theo at all. Besides, even if they had to, Joshua should have sat next to her instead of with Luna.Theo picked up his glass of oat milk and
