“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

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

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

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.”

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
