Chapter 2078 Laura’s face broke out into a triumphant grin at Luna’s question. “Are you scared, Luna? It’s true;
you’re not obliged to prove anything to me. What difference does it make, anyway? Whether you prove it or not,
you’re still a useless bimbo who relies on men to live her life.
“The only thing that makes you better than me is your pretty face.”
With that, she yawned and lifted her head to glance at Joshua.”Even though today will be my last day of work, I still
have to go upstairs to check on June.”
She remembered, despite everything, that she came as a doctor first.
As soon as she finished her sentence, she turned and went up the stairs.
However, after taking just a few steps, Laura paused and added, “I thought you’d at least have some guts to stop
me and prove me wrong, Luna, but I guess I overestimated you.”
Then, she continued up the stairs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuna remained motionless and curled her lips into a smirk as she watched Laura leave. “Your reverse psychology
doesn’t work on me.”
She crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, “If my guesses are correct, you must have a recording device
in your pocket right now, don’t you, Dr. Suess?”
Laura froze in her steps upon hearing this.
She furrowed her brows but did not reply.
Joshua chuckled and pinched Luna’s nose playfully. “It seems you’ve gotten smart.”
Laura had been complimenting and praising herself since the start, claiming that no one had shown any interest in
her despite her success.
On the one hand, she kept trying to provoke Luna into accepting her challenge, while she sculpted herself into the
image of a woman born with nothing who, by sheer effort and hard work, managed to change her fate.
If Luna really took the bait and accepted Laura’s challenge, she would have gone home and edited the recording
before sending it out to all the major media outlets in the city.
If that happened, Luna would become the talk of the town, and everyone in Merchant City would be poised on
watching her, waiting for her to mess up.
Laura, should that whole fiasco have gone down, would become a strong, determined character who was willing to
put in the hard work and stand up against power in the public’s eye.
This was what her true intentions were.
Laura could not fight the intimidated feeling she had when Joshua and Luna exposed her true intentions.
Her body trembled slightly, but she did not say anything and instead disappeared up the stairs.
When Laura’s figure finally disappeared from view, Luna turned to glance at Joshua. “Was I very stupid in the past?”
Joshua smiled in amusement. “At least you weren’t as calm and level – headed as you are now when faced with
traps like this.”
Luna pursed her lips and was about to say something in reply when Joshua’s phone rang.
It was the same unnamed number as before.
Joshua excused himself apologetically and left the room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStanding in the living room, Luna could clearly see the smile on Joshua’s face as he took the call.
She furrowed her brows slightly.
If she remembered correctly, Joshua had looked just as delighted as he was when he took the first call.
Not only that, but the person on the other end of the line was a woman.
–
Even after scouring through her memories of all of Joshua’s female friends, Luna still could not figure out who the
person on the phone was.
Could it be that…
Luna shook her head, trying to chase the unrealistic thought out of her mind.
It could not be. After having gone through so much, she knew that Joshua could not possibly be cheating on her.
If he were that unfaithful, he would not have followed her all the way to Merchant City a year ago to win her back.
Besides…
Just a few minutes ago, he had put his arm around her and allowed her to declare her ownership in front of Laura.
How could he possibly be seeing another woman behind her back? Nonetheless…
