With that, she stared at Joshua with tears in her eyes and said, “Joshua, I want to give Mrs. Collins her final paycheck and let her leave now. Even though I didn’t find out what kind of person she is until now, it's better late than never. I’m worried that if I continue letting her work for me, she might be a bad influence on me…”Joshua let out a sigh and gently pulled Fiona closer. “Alright.” He then lifted his head to glance at Marianne, whose face was as pale as a ghost. “Mrs. Collins, please go back to Orchard Manor and ask the butler to process your termination.”The color drained from Marianne’s face when she heard this. “Ms. Blake!” She bit down on her lip and immediately grabbed onto Fiona’s arm. “Ms. Blake, I must’ve been mistaken. When you gave me this dress and told me it cost five hundred dollars, I must’ve misheard you and thought it was fifty thousand instead. Please don’t… Don’t fire me, please? I… I’m willing to get a pay deduction!”Marianne’s grip on Fiona was so

Fiona was a much more calculating opponent than Luna expected. By the time Luna, Shannon, and Zayne returned to Arianna’s ward, she had already finished her lunch.Samson was throwing the empty takeaway boxes into the hallway trash can when he saw them coming out of the elevator. He frowned and glanced at Luna. “I was just about to go find you. Why are you back so soon? Did you manage to settle everything?”Luna composed herself and gave him a reassuring smile. “I guess you can say that. Not only did we manage to get out of paying the compensation, but the servant got fired as well.”Samson raised his eyebrows in puzzlement before snickering and said, “Well, Joshua Lynch had finally done something useful, then.”As soon as he said this, Shannon and Zayne’s expression darkened.“You stay here and take care of Arianna. I’ll foot the medical bills. If there’s anything you need, just call me.”Samson paused for a moment, then nodded in reply. “Alright.”Luna went into the ward to

“How are you planning to take care of this?”Joshua paused for a moment, then answered in a low voice, “I’ll go over tonight.” With that, he hung up the phone.Fiona wriggled into his arms and asked, “What’s wrong, Joshua?”“Nothing.” Joshua let out a sigh and gently patted her head. “I have some stuff to take care of tonight, so you’ll have to eat dinner by yourself. How does that sound?”Fiona bit down on her lip and stared at Joshua with her dark eyes. “What’s so urgent that you have to take care of it tonight? I think I heard you say something about a party… Can you bring me along with you?”Fiona then continued, her eyes glimmering with sorrow, “I’m new to Banyan City, and I don’t know anyone here. I’m just hoping to get to know a few people. Otherwise…”She lowered her head and said in a rueful tone, “It’ll just feel like I’m stuck in a hospital again, all alone with no one by my side.”Joshua let out a sigh. “Fiona, I’ve already allowed you to come work at Lynch Group, bu

“No matter how hard I try, I can’t ever be as elegant and sophisticated as Ms. Luna.” Fiona let out an exhale and forced a bitter smile. “Thankfully, Joshua doesn’t seem to mind.”With that, she turned around to glance at Joshua. “Aren’t you going to say hello, Joshua? Ms. Luna’s here to attend the party with us.”Joshua paused for a moment, then strode in their direction. He stuck out his hand gracefully and said, “What a coincidence.”It was not a coincidence. He came because he heard Luna was going to be here.Luna glanced at Joshua’s arm, which still hovered mid-air, but did not reach out to shake it. Instead, she let out a chuckle and tilted her head away. “Yes. What a coincidence. No matter where I go, I seem to run into Mr. Lynch and Ms. Blake together everywhere. Anyone might think I was following the two of you.”She shot Joshua and Fiona a self-deprecating smile and said, “I’ll leave now so as not to bother you. Goodbye.”With that, she turned around and walked away.F

Joshua sighed and gently patted Fiona’s back to console her before they entered the hall with his arm around her.Following behind them, Jude looked at their retreating figures and let out a sigh.By the time Luna and Shannon returned to the hall, the party had already started. Bonnie was onstage, welcoming the guests along with the emcee. When she caught sight of Luna, Bonnie immediately leaped off the stage and scuttled toward her. As soon as she reached Luna, she grabbed hold of her hand and said, “Let’s go.”“Go where?”“Go on stage with me.” Bonnie winked at Luna and said, “Initially, there were going to be three of us: me, Jason, and the emcee, but now that Jason’s in jail, I want you to take his spot.”With that, she smiled and could not help teasing Luna, “Did you genuinely think I invited you here to mooch off my food like Shannon?”Shannon, who at this moment was mooching off the food at Bonnie’s party, was speechless to hear this. Luna lifted her head to glance at
