Will You Marry Me My Ex-Wife

The office was quiet for a few seconds. Luna smiled. She could not help but laugh.

“Mr. Lynch, you think that your wife wouldn’t be so stupid as to use her name, but I would. Is that it?“

Joshua’s expressions darkened a little.

He almost forgot. The woman nicknamed Alice in the chat that morning also claimed to be Luna

herself.

Luna sneered, plopping onto the sofa in front of Joshua. “Alice wouldn’t use her name to stir up trouble,

but you’re so sure that I’m Hailey, that I ‘d use Mr. Walter from Sea City to help me out in Banyan City.“

Joshua looked at her, saying nothing.

Luna continued calmly, “Mr. Lynch, have you forgotten? After the funeral of the impostor Hailey passed

away in Sea City, you told me that you’ve already suspected that the woman is just an impostor.

“Tell me then, Mr. Lynch. Why would I risk getting Mr. Walter’s men to come to Banyan City when I

clearly knew that you already suspected that the real Hailey isn’t dead yet?

“Banyan City is under you and your friend, Jude’s territory. If I’m Hailey, why would I get them to take

such a risk to come here and so blatantly beat Irene up right after I had a conflict with her?

“Is it that I’m not afraid my identity would be exposed?“

Joshua’s eyes narrowed a little upon Luna’s words.

Actually, regarding Luna’s identity, it had always been Jude’s speculations only. He never agreed with

him.

It was only that there were too many suspicious aspects to this matter.

Luna was a person that he trusted. He was not willing to be around her in suspicion, and that was why

he took the risk to ask her directly, even when he did not have enough proof of her identity.

Her reaction and attitude explained everything he needed to know.

A huge burden being put down, Joshua smiled teasingly and looked at Luna. “Perhaps you might’ve

guessed that I’d think that you’re not that stupid, so you did it on purpose?“

Luna felt a fire of rage overwhelming her. Did this man take her for a fool?

Luna bit her lips and stood up immediately. “Since you got me to stay but it’s not because of Neil and

Nellie, I don’t need to continue wasting my time with you, Mr. Lynch. If you have proof that I’m Hailey,

then show them. As long as there is enough proof, no matter how I deny it, it’d be pointless. If there’s

none, however, don’t you dare for one second try to pin Hailey’s identity on me! “

Then, Luna turned around and stormed off angrily. Joshua sat in the office, looking at Luna leaving. He

smiled.

He lowered his eyes and swept a glance at the design sketches on her desk. He could not help but pick

one up and admire them.

The last sketch was not in her previously announced drafts. It seemed to have been drawn last minute.

It was a men’s ring with a skull.

He furrowed his brows. He felt that the man’s hand on the sketch was a little familiar. He looked aside

and noticed his right hand that held the sketches.

It was the exact same.

Joshua furrowed his brows, thinking he was hallucinating, but as he had a closer look, it was indeed his

hand.

Even the position and the shape of the little scars on his hand were exactly the same. Since when did

she observe his hands so closely?

Joshua furrowed his brows and immediately took his phone out. He captured a photo of the sketch and

saved it on his phone.

In the cafe downstairs of Lynch Group.

Alice smiled and looked at the man in front of her. “So, the person that hired you told you to tell me that

Mr. Lynch was the one that wanted me killed?“

Jason was holding onto the check in his hand. He chuckled. “Of course. However, Mrs. Lynch, you and

Mr. Lynch could still love each other even when you didn’t know whether it was him that did it or not. I

salute you. I would’ve thought that you’d at least have some hostility toward him. Back then, the woman

that got me to crash you specifically instructed me to say that it was Mr. Lynch who arranged for me to

do it.“

Jason lifted his head and looked at Alice’s face. “ Have you never once suspected Mr. Lynch? Not even

get angry at him?“

Alice laughed. “Of course not. He’s my husband, and no way will I suspect him.“

She smiled and looked at Jason. “Have you ever met that woman?“

Jason shook his head. “I only know that she was a woman. I don’t know anything else about her.“

“I see.“ Alice sighed. “Before my husband and I got married, there had always been a woman called

Hailey Walter who liked my husband a lot. She tried to hurt me a few times so that she could have my

husband to herself. She’s probably the one that planned the accident six years ago.“

Alice glanced at Jason, the smile still plastered on her face. “This woman has never looked for you

since after the incident six years ago, right?“

Jason paused for a while before nodding.

“That’s because she’s gone through cosmetic surgery and looked different.“

Alice immediately took out a woman’s photo and placed it in front of Jason. “This is how she looks now.

She’s been staying in my husband’s company, trying to find ways to seduce him.“

Jason furrowed his brows and subconsciously looked at the photo.

Instantly, his eyes widened.

That was right. The woman in the photo was the woman she saw in Zach and Yuri’s house the night

before.

Luna.

He even made an arrangement with her to pick Bonnie up from the hospital that night!

“A—Are you sure?“

Jason furrowed his brows before saying in a hushed tone, “I’ve met Ms. Luna twice. She doesn’t seem

to be what you describe her to be…“

“If she could be so easily called out, how could she put on an act in front of my husband for so long?“

Alice sighed. “Think about it. When Luna saw you, did she react strangely at all?“

Jason paused a little.

There seemed to be…

Every time Luna looked at him, she would not dare meet his gaze. She would secretly try to avoid him.

He initially thought that the scar on his face intimidated her.

At that moment, when he thought of it… “You realized it, right?”

Jason nodded.

He lifted his head and looked seriously at Alice. “So, Mrs. Lynch, is there anything you need me to do?

“

“Of course.”

Alice smiled and took out a check from her bag and directly placed it in front of Jason. “We won’t

expose her identity for the time being. Just pretend that Mr. Lynch did hire you back then. Stay by her

side and get a grip on her. In the future, we’ll slowly reveal that she’s Hailey Walter.”

Alice narrowed her eyes.

This time, she pushed all the things that Aura did back then on Hailey.

As long as she could pin Hailey’s identity on Luna, she did not believe that Joshua would still protect

her!

Luna received a call from Theo during lunch.

He first apologized to Luna on Celeste’s behalf before asking her out for dinner that night.

“I have other arrangements tonight.“ Luna ate while looking at her memo on her phone.

That night, she had to pick Bonnie out from the hospital together with Jason.

At the thought of Jason, she could help but furrowed her brows. This man still gave her the chills at the

thought of him.

Regardless, she did not want to give up the chance to get to know Jason.

After all…

Luna narrowed her eyes.

Jason, of course, knew how Joshua wanted her dead back then. He was the weapon that Joshua used

against her.

If she was about to make the incident back then known to the public, to let everyone see clearly how

despicable Joshua was, Jason was an indispensable link!

“What time do you end tonight, then? I’ll go pick you up?“ Theo’s voice sounded graciously considerate

on the other end of the line. “Are you having a business gathering?“

“No, I have made arrangements to pick up a friend from the hospital.“

Luna took a deep breath. “You don’t have to pick me up. You’re busy enough.“

On the other end of the call, Theo was silent for a while.

After a long moment, he sighed. “Luna, I want to do something for you. To compensate… My mother

has done such terrible things to you, and I want to help her apologize to you.“

Luna paused for a while. She inexplicably became soft-hearted.

Theo was indeed a gentle and kind-hearted man.

Even if she was displeased with Celeste, hearing how gentle Theo’s tone was, she could not bear to

continue reprimanding him.

However, she also understood that if she did not let Theo do something, Theo would probably feel

uncomfortable.

Thus, Luna furrowed her brows. “If you want to do something, you can help me investigate a few

people.“

Theo was instantly spirited in their call. “Who do you want me to investigate?“

“Do you remember Irene Cook from this morning? She got beaten up by a few men last night. Those

men pretended that they were under my orders. Help me check where those men come from, along

with the IP address and address of the person they contacted most recently. Hand them to the police

afterward.“

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

Luna suddenly felt that this problem would be too challenging for Theo.

“As for the IP address, you can contact Nigel.“

“Okay! “ Theo happily accepted this mission. “Don’t worry. Leave it to me and Nigel! He’ll be in charge

of the internet, and I’ll be in charge of the physical aspects. We’ll find this out for you! “

Luna nodded. She exchanged a few more words with Theo before hanging up.

Since Alice wanted to pin the identity of Hailey Walter on her, Luna would play along and destroy Alice

in the process.

She did not believe that once she sent Mr. Walter into prison, just like Dennis Walter, Joshua would still

suspect her of being Hailey Walter!

After lunch, Luna returned to the design department from the company’s cafeteria.

On the way back, people kept commenting on her. Each sentence was worse than the previous one.

Luna pretended not to notice.

“You just take their ridicule and defamations of you just like that?“ Samson chased after Luna and went

into the elevator together with her.

“Before I came, I thought you were someone who’d fight for the truth. I never thought that you

wouldn’t fight back, even after such grievances.“

Luna slightly raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Who said that I don’t fight back after being aggrieved?“

Samson harrumphed coldly. “From what I see, you’ve always been cowardly.”

“Does that mean that when someone gossips about you, you have to jump up and slam the table,

scolding them back harshly? That only then are you not a coward?”

Luna yawned. “If you want to go according to what you say, perhaps I am a coward.”

Samson raised his brows. “Am I wrong?”

Luna rolled her eyes at him. She crossed her arms around her chest. “Child.”

Luna looked in front, her gaze flat. “The people that were bad-mouthing me just now, do you know

which department they come from or what kind of position they hold?”

Samson furrowed his brows and shook his head.

“Not only do I know, but I even jotted it down, “ Luna said flatly, “We’re all working in the same

company, and we see each other all the time. If they

can’t kick me out of the Lynch Group, they’ll pay for it sooner or later. Why should I stoop down to their

level and go against them like a maniac?“

Samson was completely stunned.

At that moment, the door of the elevator opened and Luna strode into the design department.

Samson was quiet for a long while before he narrowed his eyes, smiling.

Luna was an interesting woman. His choice of traveling a thousand miles to come to Banyan City to

work as her assistant was not in vain after all.

The entire afternoon, Luna finally could get her work back on track.

Samson and Zayne had an exceptionally good art background, especially Samson. It looked like he

had some background in jewelry designing as well.

The creative requests that Luna came up with, he could quickly understand and sketch out accurately.

Even Arianna could not help but praise him, “ Samson, you’re a young prodigy! “

Luna paused a little.

At the mention of that, Luna suddenly recalled a talented 17- year-old teenager who once took her

designs.

He was called Mo Sam or something.

The person in front of her was called Samson Matthews. What similar names.

At the end of the day, Jason cautiously arrived at the design department.

“Ms. Luna.“ He timidly knocked on the door. “We’ve made an appointment.“

Luna came to her senses. She simply tidied her things up and followed Jason downstairs.

“Let’s take a taxi,“ said Luna calmly. After tiring herself the entire afternoon, she stretched a little.

Jason narrowed his eyes slightly. “You don’t drive?“

Luna shook her head while hailing the taxi and smiled. “I don’t know how to drive.“

She actually knew how to drive back then, but after the accident six years ago, driving traumatized her.

Jason could not help but smile mockingly at Luna’s attitude.

He got in the front passenger seat and looked at Luna in the back seat from the rearview mirror.

“Who knew that you don’t know how to drive, Ms. Luna. Don’t worry, we’re all acquainted. You can buy

a car, and I can be your driver next time.“

He then smiled meaningfully. “You’d be happy with my driving skills. I can drive all sorts of vehicles,

especially huge trucks. I ‘m great at driving them.“

Luna’s face instantly lost its colors upon his words. She bit her lip. The scene by Bay Bridge six years

ago involuntarily popped up in her mind: Jason driving that huge truck, smiling sinisterly while crashing

toward her.

“Mr. Lynch, I didn’t kill her. Should I crash her again?“

“Don’t blame me. If you want to blame, blame yourself for loving the wrong person! “

“See you in the next life! “

Luna’s heart was wrenched together. She sweated profusely, cold sweats running down her back.

“Miss, where to?“

The driver’s voice suddenly brought her back to reality. Luna took a deep breath.

“To the mental asylum by the outskirts.“

The driver furrowed his brows and looked at Luna in the rearview mirror. He asked rather concernedly,

“ Miss, are you alright?“

“She’s fine.“ Jason changed into a more comfortable position in front. “She just recalled some unhappy

memories.“

He raised his brows and side-eyed Luna. “Am I right, Ms. Luna?“

Jason’s every word got onto Luna’s fragile nerves. She furrowed her brows tightly.

Technically, Jason should not be able to identify her based on her current identity and looks.

However, ever since they got in the taxi, Jason had been intentionally, or unintentionally, referring back

to the incident six years ago.

His driving skills, the truck, and also when he just pointed out she was ‘recalling unhappy memories’.

Were all these that he said just a coincidence, or…did he already know?

The taxi driver started driving.

Luna sat behind and pretended to close her eyes and fall asleep. Through the crack of the eyes, she

secretly observed Jason through the rearview mirror.

Jason was also looking at the rearview mirror, examining her.

The atmosphere was so quiet that it was a little suffocating.

“Is she your girlfriend?“

Perhaps it was too quiet that the driver cleared his throat and started talking to Jason.

“No.“ Jason swept another glance at Luna before retracting his gaze and looking forward. “How could I

have a girlfriend like her?“

The driver chuckled. “From what I can see, she looks..quite pretty.“

“She’s pretty, but it’s all plastic surgery.“

The driver paused for a while. “Cosmetic surgeries are quite common nowadays. Everyone likes to look

beautiful, right?“

Jason sneered. His tone was filled with mockery. “ Cosmetic surgeries are indeed quite common, but

I’d never want this heartless woman, even if you give her to me.“

Jason coldly glared at Luna via the rearview mirror.

Luna tried to suppress the confusion in her heart and pretended to fall asleep, but the confusion in her

mind grew.

How did Jason know she had cosmetic surgery? Her surgery was done by top-notch doctors abroad.

Even Anne, who had a great cosmetic surgery, could only assist the doctors there.

She did not believe that Jason would be able to notice it. If he knew about her cosmetic surgery,

someone must have told him.

Also, if Jason knew she had undergone cosmetic surgery, he should know who her true identity was.

Jason should be clear about how she was a victim in the incident back then.

However, he said that she was heartless. What was that all about?

Just when Luna was still confused, Jason’s phone rang.

“Mrs. Lynch.“ When he started chatting with the taxi driver, Jason thought that Luna had already fallen

asleep, so he did not intentionally try to hide it or something. “Didn’t we already say not to contact each

other for the time being? Okay, don’t worry. I won’t mention your name in front of her. Mmh, I ‘ll wait for

you to contact me.“

Jason hung up. He nonchalantly turned and chatted with the taxi driver about the changes in Banyan

City throughout the years.

Luna sat in the backseat. On the surface, she seemed calm, but deep inside, she was overwhelmed

with waves of emotions!

She never thought that Alice would take action so quickly!

Jason had just returned to Banyan City for two days, did he not? In just two days, not only did Alice get

Jason to be on her side, but she even got him to do things for her.

Her tactics and actions were simply amazing. It was only that…

Luna changed a different position and continued sleeping, facing the window.

Six years ago, Joshua hired Jason to kill her.

Six years later, Alice used the face that she once had to contact Jason.

In that case, who was she to Jason?

Luna did not believe that Alice would tell a person like Jason her true identity. It was too dangerous.

Therefore, Alice , at that moment , should be Luna Gibson from six years ago in Jason’s eyes.

However…

Luna pursed her lips. Jason deliberately brought up the incident six years ago in front of her. He even

said that she had unhappy memories, so Jason definitely thought she had something to do with the

incident back then.

Since she was not the victim, she must have been the perpetrator. At that thought, Luna suddenly

found it comical.

Back then, when Joshua hired Jason to kill her, she almost lost her life and the lives of her babies. She

survived.

Six years later, in Jason’s eyes, she suddenly became the co-conspirator with Joshua?

Life truly had played her like a fiddle.

Soon, the taxi arrived at the mental asylum. Once the car stopped, Jason immediately opened the door

and got out of the car.

The taxi driver did not expect that Jason would refuse to wake his companion up, so he had to get out

of the car, go to the backseat, and wake Luna up.

Luna was actually awake all this while. She could see the detest Jason had for her. She only found it

comical.

Back then, he was a murderer who killed for money. At that moment, he became one of Alice’s men

and started despising her, a ‘heartless’ person.

“Miss, wake up! “

The driver pushed Luna a little, and only then did Luna pretend to groggily open her eyes. “Have we

arrived?“

“Yes, your friend is waiting for you outside.“

Luna nodded. She paid for the ride and gracefully got out of the car. She walked toward Jason.

“You must be tired from working, Ms. Luna, “ said Jason flatly as they walked together toward the

mental asylum.

“You could even fall asleep on such a short journey.“

Luna smiled rather embarrassingly. “Yes, work has been tiring. Other than work every day, I don’t have

the time to think of anything else.“

Jason harrumphed coldly. “That’s good too. If not, having too many thoughts might easily get you

killed.“

Luna calmly smiled and said nothing.

The two of them entered the mental asylum together. The conversation with the doctor went smoothly.

They only took an hour then they got to see Bonnie.

Living in the mental asylum all this while, Bonnie has lost a lot of weight.

When she carried her clothes and walked out of the room, the first person she saw was Jason, whom

she thought of every day.

“Jason! “

Over the moon, Bonnie immediately rushed over and buried herself in Jason’s arms.

Jason furrowed his brows. He instinctively retreated half a step back.

Then, he sighed and gently hugged Bonnie. “Why are you staying here? If I didn’t come back, what

would’ve happened to you?“

Bonnie wiped her tears and laughed. “I knew that you’d come back! “

She remained in Jason’s arms as she smiled and looked at Luna. “I was right. He did return! “

Luna was congratulating Bonnie on the surface, but deep down, her heart was cold. After all, she could

see that the half a step Jason retreated backward a moment ago was in detest.

From what Zach and Yuri told her previously, Jason got together with Bonnie was completely because

of Bonnie’s family.

Luna pitied Bonnie.

“Let’s have a meal together! “ Coming out from the mental asylum, Bonnie held Jason’s hand, smiled,

and suggested, “Jason, no matter what, I think we should buy Luna a meal. The woman who I swapped

places with in the mental asylum has done terrible things to Luna, yet Luna was still willing to come to

pick me up. She’s truly generous! “

“Is that so?“ Jason smiled and coldly swept Luna a glance. “In that case, Ms. Luna, would you join us

for a meal?“

“Of course.“

Luna smiled and gently chuckled. She turned to look at Jason. ”We’ve been acquainted for a long time,

after all. It’s time to catch up.”

Luna chose a restaurant downtown.

The restaurant was filled to the brim with people. Bonnie, who just came out from the mental asylum,

clearly could not take the noise, evident with her furrowed brows.

“Luna, why did you pick such a place to have a meal? Wouldn’t it be better if we change to a quieter

location to catch up?“

Luna smiled a little. She picked up her teacup and took a sip. “I thought that you’d like a lively crowd

after being cooped up in there for so long.“

Truthfully, there was another reason why she picked this location: Noisy and crammed with people, it

was inconvenient to do anything. Luna was also a little worried that Jason would do something bad to

her.

Soon, the food came.

Bonnie, who had been grumbling ever since, finally shut up and happily ate her meal.

“Luna, you’re not from Banyan City, right? This dish is a Banyan City specialty. Us Banyan City folks

have been eating it since young.“

Luna calmly smiled. “I am indeed not from Banyan City. I’m from Sea City.“

She raised her eyes and looked at Jason. “What do you know of Sea City?“

Jason harrumphed coldly. He ate while saying coldly,

“Sea City? I only know of a Walter family in Sea City. The heiress of the Walter family is rather

shameless. She’s been vying for Mr. Lynch of the Lynch family in Banyan City. Even when Mr. Lynch

already married Mrs. Lynch, she still didn’t want to let go.“

Jason then picked up his glass of alcohol and took a sip. “Ms. Luna, don’t you think that this Hailey

Walter is rather shameless?“

Luna almost laughed out loud.

Jason only said this because it was most likely that Alice told him that Luna was Hailey, right?

Alice’s lie was perfect. Luna was Hailey, and Hailey was the one that hurt Luna Gibson back then.

Luna lowered her head and played with the cup in her hand. “Not only is Hailey shameless, but she’s

also foolish.“

Luna knew clearly that back then, it was Joshua who ordered Jason to kill her.

At most, Aura was involved, too.

The accident which almost got her killed had nothing to do with Hailey. However, at that moment, not

only did Alice want to pin Hailey’s

identity on Luna, but she even wanted to push the blame of the accident that hurt Luna Gibson back

then on ‘Hailey’.

After being Mrs. Lynch for so long, did Alice forget that she was, in fact, Hailey Walter?

Luna had only encountered people pushing the blame onto others. She had never once seen someone

taking the blame for something other people have done.

Perhaps Jason did not expect that Luna would say that about herself, which was why he was silent for

a while. He smiled. “Ms. Luna, you also think that Hailey is foolish?“

“Of course, awfully foolish.“

Luna raised her gaze and smiled at Jason. “When I have the chance, I must introduce to you this

brainless heiress of the Walter family.“

Jason was a little baffled. He suddenly could no longer say the things he was prepared to say.

Was Luna…truly Hailey Walter? Who would insult themself that way?

“I don’t understand what you guys are talking about. “ Bonnie did not like that topic, so she pursed her

lips and changed the topic.

“Luna, when I was in the asylum, I ‘d still watch the news. I saw that you and that great artist, Theo

Allen, got together. You’re lucky! “

Luna calmly smiled. “Theo is an artist that I liked for many years. However, I only used to like him as an

artist, and I never thought that he’d be my boyfriend.“ “I get it! I get it! “ Bonnie smiled and held Jason’s

hand. “Just like me, I once looked up to my brother as a sister, but…later on, I wanted to marry him! “

“Feelings will change! “

Luna furrowed her brows. She could clearly see the hint of annoyance flashing across Jason’s

eyebrows when Bonnie held his hand.

It was strange.

If Jason did not like Bonnie, why would he try so hard to get her out of the mental asylum?

If he did not look for Bonnie, Bonnie would have never known he was back in the country, being locked

up and all.

At that moment, he got Bonnie out of the mental asylum, yet he resisted Bonnie getting closer to him.

What was he trying to do?

With a mind full of questions, Luna immediately contacted Neil the moment she got home.

Zach and Yuri have already reached the summer camp where Neil and Nellie were. They were in

charge of taking care of the children’s daily life together with the bodyguards that went there previously.

“You’re talking about Jason and Bonnie? He doesn’t like her for sure.“

When Zach, on the other end of the line, heard Luna asking about Bonnie, he chuckled helplessly.

“Jason has been using Bonnie from the start. Bonnie comes from a wealthy family. Jason initially hoped

to get rich by Bonnie, who knew all of Bonnie’s family died, so he abandoned her.

“This time, he came back because he found out that before the Lane family died, they bought a lot of

life insurance. The total amount of insurance has been calculated, and it was worth at least five

hundred million. Bonnie is the only heiress of the Lane family, so the five hundred million is entirely

hers…“ Luna gasped. She knew it!

“Bonnie is a pitiful woman.“ Zach sighed. “Jason actually has a girlfriend, and she returned to the

country together with him. However, his girlfriend is also quite smart. She didn’t show herself.“

Then, Zach sent Luna a photo of Jason and another woman. “This is his girlfriend. Ms. Luna, I ‘m only

telling you this because Bonnie is your friend. I can provide you with even more proof if you need it.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Jason and I have known each other for many years, and we can’t possibly expose him, but you’re

different.“

After they hung up, Zach sent Luna a lot of photos. Jason indeed had a girlfriend abroad. Not only did

he have a girlfriend, but he had a three-year-old son, too.

Luna closed her eyes. Bonnie’s innocent face appeared in her mind. Bonnie’s naive demeanor made

Luna think back about how she used to be obsessed with Joshua.

Lying on the bed, Luna’s mind kept replaying scenes of Bonnie and Jason, as well as Jason, his

girlfriend, and his son.

She tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep with her messed-up mind.

In the middle of the night, she could no longer hold back. She got up from bed and called Joshua.

“Mr. Lynch.”

Once the call went through, Luna was direct. “I remembered that the mental asylum Bonnie was in

previously is under your control, right?”

Bonnie swapped places with Aura Gibson. Aura was sent in personally by Joshua.

Joshua, on the other end of the line, was silent for a while before sneering. “Luna, it’s one in the

morning. You call me at this hour asking about the mental asylum. Why? Do you want me to send you

in now?”

“I need you to do me a favor.“ Luna took a deep breath. “Bonnie is my friend, and she’s encountered a

problem. I hope you can get your men to take her back into the mental asylum, Mr. Lynch.“

Joshua was silent for a while on the other end of the call.

“It’s the middle of the night. She’s just released tonight, yet you want her back in now. Is she really your

friend?“

It could be the same for enemies.

Luna bit her lip. “I can’t explain too much, but I need you to help me with this. I ’11 add another design

to this project.“

When Joshua heard Luna mentioning this, he furrowed his brows. “I have a question for you: When you

design and you draw body parts like a hand or a neck, whose do you model after?“

Luna paused for a while. She did not know why he would ask her this question.

However, she still answered honestly, “Mostly it’s a fictional hand, but if we were to design for someone

specific, then we’d try to draw that person’s body parts.“

Then, Luna furrowed her brows. “Why are you suddenly asking about this?“

“It’s nothing.“ Joshua smiled a little. He lowered his gaze and glanced at the photo he took of Luna’s

design in her office. “I’ll arrange the things according to what you said.“

“Thank you, Mr. Lynch.“

After hanging up the call, Luna went to the kitchen to brew herself a pot of tea. She sat down on the

sofa to write the requirements for her next design while secretly glancing at the time.

An hour after her call with Joshua, her phone rang. It was from Jason.

Jason sounded flustered and exasperated. “Luna, what the hell do you mean by this? Bonnie was just

taken away by the people from the mental asylum! They said that someone who picked her up reported

to them that her mental condition was unstable, and that’s why they took her back! I didn’t say any of

that, so it must’ve been you! “

Luna changed into a more comfortable position on the sofa. She smiled a little. “Yes, I said that.“

“You! “ Jason sounded extremely infuriated. “What the hell are you trying to do? Bonnie— “

“Bonnie is just a five-hundred-million-dollar money tree. Now that she’s locked up in the mental asylum,

you won’t be able to get it anymore, right? “

Luna picked the teacup up and gently took a sip. “ Jason, didn’t you always say that I’m heartless? This

time, I’ll truly be heartless.“

Jason gasped at Luna’s words. “Luna! You…“

“How much did Alice pay you?“ Luna sneered. “

Could she give you five hundred million? On Bonnie’s side, without my consent, she won’t be able to

come out from the mental asylum. A mental illness patient won’t be able to inherit that much. Even if

she has inherited it, you won’t be able to enjoy a single cent from her.“

Luna then changed into another comfortable position on the sofa. Her voice sounded lazy and aloof.

“Jason, a wise man would know when to submit to the circumstances.“

Alice was not only the one in this world who knew how to bribe and buy off others.

Jason, on the other end of the line, was so angry that his teeth chattered. “What the hell do you want?“

“Tell me everything that Alice told you.“ Luna narrowed her eyes. “Any movements from her in the

future, you’ll have to tell me at first notice. If you hide anything from me, not only will I not let Bonnie

out, but I ’11 also tell her about your girlfriend and son.“

Jason’s face lost all of its colors upon Luna’s words.

He gritted his teeth tightly. “Mrs. Lynch was right: you’re a b*tch who stops at nothing! “

Luna chuckled a little. “I’ll give you another chance to rephrase your words. Talking to me in such a

manner, do you think I can’t head to the mental asylum and look for Bonnie now?“

Jason gritted his teeth and hung up the call.

Upon hearing the disconnecting tone, Luna hung up with complicated feelings.

Sending Bonnie to the mental asylum was the only temporary measure she could think of; to get

Bonnie to calm down and to prevent Jason from doing anything. It was the best solution.

On one hand, Jason would not be able to get Bonnie’s money. On the other hand, because of Bonnie,

Jason would not dare to do anything to Luna. He had to be afraid of her, too.

Still, Luna understood clearly that Jason was a murderer.

She could not always have control over the man that crashed into her with ease and kicked her off the

bridge. Luna had to quickly find proof of Jason committing murder.

However, the incident happened six years ago. There was no surveillance nor witnesses. The bridge

was rebuilt.

It was extremely challenging if she wanted to find proof.

Luna closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. She…did not know where to begin.

Because she did not sleep well that night, the next morning, Luna started making coffee for herself the

moment she reached the office.

After two cups of coffee, she finally felt less sleepy.

She turned on a computer and saw an email in her inbox.

It was an email from Jason. It was the recording of the conversation he had with Alice the day before.

The moment Luna saw the conversation, she could not help but frown.

Alice might not expect that Jason would protect himself against her, too.

Luna put on her headphones, listening to Alice’s voice in the recording. Her smile turned colder.

“Director Luna! “

Before she could finish the recording, Shannon immediately pushed the door and entered!

“Something bad has happened! “

Luna immediately took off her headphones. “What happened?“

Shannon was a mature person and was usually polite. If she hurriedly pushed the door and entered,

something big must have happened.

“Irene.“ Shannon was sweating profusely. “The one that knelt and apologized to you yesterday. She

jumped off the building! Although she didn’t die, she was close. She’s currently in the hospital being

resuscitated. Before she jumped, she even left a note saying…“

Shannon paused for a while. “It said that if she died, you’re the main culprit. Irene grew up in the

countryside, and her family used up all they had to pay for her education. She was hired to be an

assistant at Lynch Group once she graduated, yet she encountered such a thing…“

Then, Shannon sighed. “People on the internet are talking about this now: her teachers, schoolmates,

and even people from the same place as her are scolding and humiliating you. They said that you used

your powers and tried to kill Irene.“

Luna calmly furrowed her brows.

She initially thought that the trick Irene pulled out of her sleeve the day before was already the limit.

She did not expect that Irene would have another trick up her sleeve.

Luna looked at the news; the comments were all against her. The terrible comments were filled with

malicious intentions, too.

Some even brought up the plagiarizing incident that happened to Luna previously. They said that Luna

could deal with someone rich from abroad, that Irene was just ‘a piece of cake’.

The insults on Luna came one after another. Luna casually scrolled through and was about to shut off

the page when she saw a Tweeter notification.

It was from Alice.

(Don’t talk about Luna like that. Luna is my best friend. She’s a good person. My husband and I believe

her. Stop coming after her. I’ll be sad.]

Luna narrowed her eyes and tapped to see the comments.

Sure enough.

Some of the people on the internet praised Alice for being kind, some asked her to cut off ties with

Luna, and some even reminded Alice that Luna and Joshua’s relationship was more than what it

seemed.

Alice even replied to some of the people on the internet.

(My husband is a great, great man. Even if he has a relationship with Luna, that’s definitely not his

fault.

(Maybe I don’t know her that well, but I just think that one shouldn’t be so pretentious. Sigh.]

(My husband is so worried about this incident that he could barely eat. I just want to share his worries.]

Reading through Alice’s replies, Luna could not help but sneer.

She turned off the computer, lifted her head, and swept Shannon a glance. “Which floor did Irene jump

off from?”

Shannon furrowed her brows. “Third floor.” “Third floor?”

If Irene truly wanted to die, why would she pick the third floor?

At that thought, Luna could not help but raise her eyebrows. “Which hospital is she at right now?”

Upon her words, Joshua’s indifferent voice came from the entrance, “Why? Are you planning to go and

have a look?”
