Luna shrugged and gave Shannon her phone back. “ Get back to work. You shouldn’t be looking at
stuff like this during office hours.“
Shannon’s jaw dropped. “Director Luna, don’t you… want to explain anything?“
Luna glanced at her. “Why do I need to explain anything to you? Maybe I should put it this way: None
of you will believe me even if I explained, so why should I waste my energy?“ With that, she turned
around and went back into her office with a small smile.
To be honest, Luna did not care that Alice had gone to the press. She did not care if everyone who saw
that article ended up misunderstanding her and thought she was a selfish, jealous woman. Long gone
was the Luna who cared about the opinions of others, who strived to please everyone she met.
All she wanted to do was finish her sketches in time so she could take Neil and Nellie on an outing as
Joshua promised.
It was another busy day. When it was time to get off from work, Luna’s assistant knocked on her door. “
Director Luna, someone is here to see you.“
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuna glanced at the time —it was 5pm. She smiled faintly, thinking it was Theo who came to pick her
up from work. She instructed her assistant, “Alright, let him in.“
Someone pushed the door open a moment later, but it was not Theo as Luna had expected.
It was Granny Lynch. She entered the room with the help of two servants and sat down on the couch
grouchily. She had a hostile expression and appeared to be furious about something. ”Well, well. If I
hadn’t seen the news today, I wouldn’t have found out that you’re working here!”
The corners of Luna’s mouth turned up in a small smile. ”Ma’am, you fired me from my position at Blue
Bay Villa because Aura gave you something in return. Are you trying to get me fired from Lynch Group
now? Whose gift did you accept this time?
Alice’s?”
Granny Lynch grew even more livid at the mention o f Alice’s name. ”How dare you even mention my
granddaughter-in-law! You think I don’t know what you did?”
Granny Lynch leaned against the sofa and knocked her walking cane against the floor. ”You ruined the
artwork painted by Alice’s favorite artist, all because you were jealous of her ! Alice came to see me
today because of this, so upset that she cried! How could you? That’s her favorite artist. She’s been a
fan since she was a teenager, but you ruined her favorite painting just like that!”
The more she scolded Luna, the more worked up Granny Lynch got. She wanted so badly to knock
Luna on the head with her walking cane. ”When Joshua and Aura were together, you sabotaged their
relationship. Now that Joshua’s real wife and Nellie’s birth mother has returned, you’re trying to break
this family apart again! “
Granny Lynch lifted her hand and pointed at the door. ”Get out! Lynch Group doesn’t need an
employee like you! Either you get out now, or I find Joshua right this instant and get you fired! “
This amused Luna. She adjusted her position and leaned against the back of her chair, her gaze never
wavering from Granny Lynch. ”Alright, go find Joshua, then. Let’s see if he’s willing to fire an employee
as hardworking as I am.”
Luna’s smug attitude enraged Granny Lynch even more. She had never felt this disrespected before in
her life.
Granny Lynch got up and walked toward Luna. ” Hardworking? Lynch Group has enough hardworking
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmemployees as it is! ” With that, she picked up one of the sketches strewn on the desk, one that Luna
had just finished mere moments ago, and proceeded to tear it in half.
Luna watched as the paper got torn into two right before her eyes. Granny Lynch, however, did not
think that one was enough. She extended her hand toward Luna’s desk, wanting to grab another piece
of paper.
”Enough ! ” Luna yelled, outraged. She could not stand watching hours of her hard work turned into
scraps. She grabbed Granny Lynch’s hand and snatched the two pieces of paper away from her.
”How dare you stop me ! ” Granny Lynch glared at Luna with deranged eyes. ”You ruined someone’s
artwork. What’s wrong with me ruining one of yours?” She reached out to grab another one of Luna’s
sketches.
Luna clasped her hands around Granny Lynch’s wrists. She had been trying to suppress her anger, but
she could no longer take it anymore. Luna hated it when people touched her sketches!
Luna did not know what Alice had said to Granny Lynch that made her so worked up, but Luna could
not stand by and watch her hard work ruined in mere seconds. It was one thing for Granny Lynch to
touch her sketches but another thing entirely for her to tear them up. No matter how mild-mannered a
person was, they were bound to snap.
