Ch. 401..410
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 401
Luna could not help but pause a little at his words.
After a moment, she came to her senses from those unpleasant memories.
Luna looked up and shot Joshua a glance. “We're in Sea City, not Banyan City.“
Joshua gracefully took a bite. He sneered. “I still
have my ways, even if we're in Sea City, “ he said as-a-matter-o-factly. Luna shook her head.
“Whether or not you do, what about in the future? We still have to leave Sea City no matter what.“
Luna took a deep breath. “While we're still in Sea City, I still can retort to whatever she says, but if we leave and they bring this issue up again, we won't be able to do anything.“
Joshua furrowed his brows. His tone was cold and domineering as he scoffed, “Do you think I can't handle a weak family like the Larsons?“
As long as he wanted to, Joshua could do it even if they left Sea City.
He could have had Gwen swallow this matter forever. Of course, Luna also knew of his capabilities.
It was just that...
“I don't want to owe you too many favors.“
She lowered her eyes and looked at the injury on his arm. “This is more than enough for me. Since Gwen is coming for me, I can handle this myself. I don't need you to worry for me, Mr. Lynch.“
She raised her brows slightly. “Otherwise, if Mrs. Lynch hears about this, she'd force me to drink again.“
Upon hearing her mentioning Alice, Joshua slightly furrowed his brows. He said nothing.
Soon, Luna fed Joshua all of his food.
She kept the empty boxes and threw them into the bin by the side before eyeing Joshua.
“I 've dressed your wound, and you've also had your meal already. Perhaps you should go back, Mr.
Lynch? I want to have a proper rest.“
Joshua looked at her aloofly. He stood up, turned, and left.
The door was shut.
Luna took a long sigh. She laid on the sofa, spent as she closed her eyes depressingly.
Her mind was filled with what Gwen said in the recording. Gwen said those words with conviction.
However...
Luna did not believe that Gwen would do that sort of thing after knowing her true identity.
Thus...
Did Gwen do that of her own volition, or did something bother Gwen behind the scenes?
Sea City Central Hospital.
Hailey smiled lightly and looked at the busy Gwen in front of her.
“You've been talking for so long. Do you want some water?“
Gwen furrowed her brows and glanced at her phone. She shook her head. “No need. Two more phone interviews, and it's done.“
Hailey gracefully smiled at Gwen's words.
“Gwennie, don't worry. I'll keep my word. As long as you help Mrs. Lynch defeat Luna at the press conference tomorrow, I'll let Uncle Andy go.“
She then passed the tea which she had poured to Gwen.
“You don't have to worry. Uncle Andy and I go way back, and I won't make things difficult for him as well. He's currently staying in the backyard of the Walters' mansion, living comfortably.“
Gwen gripped her phone so hard that her knuckles turned while.
Everyone knew that the backyard of the Walters' mansion was a prison! That place was heavily guarded, and it never saw daylight. It was a place they used to trap traitors of the Walter family!
However, Gwen's father was not a traitor. He did not do anything wrong that offended the Walter family.
He was trapped in the prison just because Alice and Hailey wanted to bring Luna down, so they used him to threaten Gwen!
Gwen bit her lips harshly. She calmly accepted and finished the two phone interviews.
In the end, she looked at Hailey flatly.
“Ms. Hailey, I've done what you asked. More than ten phone interviews and tomorrow's press conference. I'm sure that's enough to show you my sincerity?"
Hailey laughed arrogantly. She lowered her head and sent a message.
After a moment, she looked up at Gwen.
“That's enough. I look forward to your press conference tomorrow."
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 402
“You'll be reunited with Uncle Andy.“
Hailey then kept her phone and left. The moment she left, Gwen received a call from Alice.
“Gwennie...“ Alice's voice on the other end of the call sounded like she was crying. “Thank you so much for helping me! You're my BFF! “
Gwen gnawed more on her lip. “Don't mention it...“
Alice chatted with Gwen excitedly for a while before she ended the call.
“Gwennie.“
Ben, who was lying on the bed, looked at Gwen helplessly. “Are you really...planning to defame Luna in the press conference tomorrow morning?“
Gwen closed her eyes. “I have no choice.“
Even if Luna was her best friend in high school, they still did not have enough power to go against them.
Alice had the support of Hailey, while Hailey had the support of the Walter family, who was powerful enough to control the entire Sea City.
She could not be offended.
Luna laid on the sofa and fell asleep unknowingly. After a long while, her phone rang.
It was a call from Theo.
“Luna, where are you now?“ His voice was filled with anxiety. “I just came out from the police station and heard people start talking about you. I
immediately called Ben. He said you've been taken by Joshua! Are you alright? Did Joshua do anything to you?“
“No. He took me back to the hotel. Why don't you come to the hotel and look for me?“
Luna took a deep breath. “Ben... What else did he tell you, other than I was taken away by Joshua?“
Theo, on the other end of the call, fell silent for a while.
“He said that Gwen has her own difficulties, too.“
Theo sighed helplessly. “Who did you say was targeting you? Is it Alice? But... This is Sea City, and Alice isn't from here. Where did she get so much power to be able to threaten Gwen, who is a local?“
Luna closed her eyes. “I want to know as well.“ Gwen was not only a local in Sea City. Her father,
Andy Larson, even opened the largest five-star hotel in Sea City.
Technically, there were not many people who could threaten her.
Suddenly, Hailey Walter's face appeared in Luna's mind.
She bit her lip.
In Sea City, it seemed like only the Walter family would be able to threaten the Larsons and had Gwen willingly submit.
She held her phone and was silent for a very long time.
“I'm on the way to your hotel. Do you want to come to get me in the lobby?“ Seeing how there was no response from Luna, Theo smiled. “I'm afraid I 'll end up in the wrong room. I'm also afraid that Joshua's men would stop me from getting to you.“
Luna was silent for a while. She stood up. “Okay. I'll wait for you downstairs.“
Luna hung up the call. She casually put on a coat and headed out of the door.
The moment she opened the door, the door from the room next to hers opened, too.
She subconsciously turned to look. Alice looked at her in surprise.
After a moment, her surprise turned into condescension.
“Ms. Luna, when did you get back? I heard that you colluded with Yuri and hit Lucas unconscious, just so you could spend time with Theo.“
Alice smiled. She looked at Luna's room behind her. “Did you come back alone? Where is Theo?“
At that, Alice seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She reached out and covered her mouth.
“Don't tell me that Theo saw the news and got angry at you? The people of Sea City sure like to spread rumors.“
Then, Alice smiled at Luna. “Do you know where Theo is? Why don't I help you persuade him to be less petty? After all, my husband, Joshua, is too exceptional. I don't blame you.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 403
Luna was too lazy to continue the nonsense with Alice.
She looked at the woman who blatantly tried to provoke her. “If that's the case, Mrs. Lynch, you'll have to keep a watchful eye on him. Otherwise...“
Luna smiled as she walked up to Alice to whisper into her ear, “Otherwise, if another woman comes along and takes Mr. Lynch, all your lies will be in vain.“
Luna turned and left, leaving Alice with shock and rage in her eyes.
The latter was rooted where she stood and watched as Luna left. Her fists were clenched tightly.
Luna grew even more arrogant!
Down at the lobby, Luna sat on the sofa in her trench coat and waited for Theo to arrive.
She was a little sleepy, so she closed her eyes to rest a little on the sofa.
“Where did our boss go today?“
“I don't know. No matter how we contacted him, his assistant was the one that replied, but we can't take the assistant's word as instructions from the boss. How annoying! “
“Won't Boss always come around during noon to make his rounds, though? He's not here today. Did something happen to him?“
The hotel staffs' voices rang in Luna's ears. Her brows furrowed instinctively. Andy Larson, missing?
Her instincts told her that Andy Larson's absence had something to do with Gwen's change in attitude toward her.
She opened her eyes and walked to the staff that discussed among one another. After questioning them, Luna was almost definite that something had happened to Andy.
A middle -aged man who had a regularly scheduled life had sudden changes in his schedule where his assistant could not even contact him.
If he was not sick, something must have happened to him.
Luna took a deep breath. She sat down in the corner of the lounge on the sofa. Then, she pressed the on - button on her necklace.
“Mommy.“ Nigel's low child voice came from the necklace. “I know about the Sea City incident
already. According to the clues I can get from the surveillance through the internet...“
Nigel sighed. “Your friend's father is now trapped in the prison in the Walter family's backyard. That's why she said those things.“
Listening to Nigel, Luna could not help but smile. “ How did you know what I was going to ask you?“
“Because I'm concerned for you! “
On the other end of the call, Nigel sighed a little. “
Ever since avoiding Joshua's inspection, I automatically cut off your contact with Neil and Nellie, changing it to a recording. Since the two of them can't contact you, I have to work harder to help you investigate everything in Sea City. I have to take better care of you on my siblings' behalf! “
Luna was moved.
She clutched the necklace in her hand tightly. “ Thank you for taking so good care of me. The news you gave me is very useful.“
Nigel was comparably much more sensible as he noted Luna's emotions. “Mommy, what are you planning to do now? Your friend has difficulties, but if she unfairly accuses you, we should come up with a plan.“
Luna rubbed the center of her brows. “Don't you think we should have a second plan, too?“
Nigel was silent for a while. “Mommy, are you planning to rescue Gwen's father out? I advise you to dismiss this idea. Not just anybody can enter the Walter family's prison. Moreover, even if you can open them, you have to get past the guards. The only people you could use now are Zach and Yuri.
Although both of them are loyal, I don't think they're a match for the Walter family guards.“
Luna sighed.
On some matters, Nigel was so calm that it was terrifying.
She was silent for a while. “Let me handle this matter. I have a way of getting him out.“
Luna was about to say something else, but Theo had arrived through the main entrance.
Luna hurriedly bade Nigel farewell before she walked over to welcome Nigel.
Theo bought a lot of fruits.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 404
As they got into her room, Theo washed the fruits and put them in front of Luna.
“What do you plan to do? Just now, during the phone call, Ben was insistent. He said that they were just trying to survive. They're not going to cancel the press conference tomorrow, and Gwen is going according to plan and telling your story.“
Luna turned to look at Theo and smiled. “Are you trying to say that I need to have a follow-up explanation, too?“
Theo paused for a while before he nodded. “But, I don't want to.“
Luna smiled and hugged her knees. She looked into the distance. “Theo, do me a favor.“
The next day.
Gwen's press conference went on as planned in the small auditorium near Ocean Ray High School.
The small auditorium was filled to the brim with people.
Reporters lamented the small venue while they constantly took photos of Gwen on stage.
Gwen, sitting on stage, leaned back against the chair and looked ahead, not knowing what she was looking at.
Luna blended into the crowd and reporters. In her hand was the press pass which Theo acquired for her the day before.
Luna found a corner and sat down.
She was wearing an earpiece in her left ear. Theo's voice came from the earpiece, “We've reached the Walters. Don't worry; we have the help of the local gangs. Everything should be fine.“
“Stay safe, “ muttered Luna in a half-whisper.
“Relax! “
Luna took a deep breath at Theo's reply. She then looked up on stage when a woman's voice rang next to her ear.
“Who would've thought that you came here on your
Alice, who was also in disguise like Luna, sat down next to her.
“After the press conference is over, and if someone recognizes you...Joshua won't be able to help you this time.“
Luna flatly glanced at Alice. She only saw a bodyguard from Lynch Group behind Alice, but she did not see Joshua. Not even Lucas.
Luna's heart slightly sank.
The scene of Joshua speaking with conviction the day before, that he would make sure Gwen would not talk, was on her mind.
Alas, he did not even show up. As expected, Joshua was the most unreliable man on earth.
Luna sat for a while and lowered her eyes, looking at her phone.
The press conference was set for 9 am. It was already 8:40 am.
If their plan worked, they would be able to rescue Andy Larson out before Gwen said anything.
Once Andy was saved, Gwen would not need to hold the press conference anymore.
Time passed, minute by minute.
Just when it was two minutes to nine, Theo's voice finally came from the earpiece.
“Luna...“
Theo was so disappointed that his tone was devoid of emotions. “The prison is empty. Andy isn't here.“
Luna instantly saw black upon his words.
At that moment, a ding rang out in the venue. Gwen took a deep breath. She looked up and picked up the microphone. “Hello, everyone, my name is Gwen Larson. Today, I'm going to talk about a woman named Luna...“
Luna, down below the stage, shut her eyes helplessly.
Did she think too highly of herself, or did she underestimate the Walter family?
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 405
Theo did not find Andy.
It was most likely that the Walter family predicted that someone would try to get Andy Larson out, so they moved him somewhere else beforehand.
At that moment, no matter what they did, they were too late.
Luna looked up at Gwen on stage, face devoid of emotions.
Luna's eyes were filled with despair.
She had no right and was in no position to blame Gwen.
After all, to Gwen, she was just a high school best friend that she had not met for many years.
However, the person that the Walter family was holding hostage was her father.
Everyone was selfish, just like Luna. Everything she did was just to cure Nigel's sickness.
While Luna was in a daze, Gwen began, “I 've always been unhappy with Luna.“
Gwen gazed at the reporters' camera coldly, and her tone matched the energy in her eyes.
“When she was in Banyan City, there were already many news and rumors of her seducing Joshua Lynch. Joshua is the husband of my high school desk partner, Alice Gibson, so I had prejudices against her from the very beginning.“
Gwen's words got the atmosphere charged up. Everyone held their breath as they waited for Gwen to continue.
Alice crossed her legs as she sat next to Luna. She smiled and said, “There's still time for you to leave.“
Luna pursed her lips and said nothing.
“But...“
Suddenly, Gwen chuckled, and her tone changed, “ When I met Luna in person, I realized that she was far different from what I imagined her to be.“
Luna suddenly lifted her head at Gwen's words.
Gwen looked ahead determinedly, and her eyes seemed to twinkle. “She's not a mistress. Not once has she ever thought of meddling in other people's lives. She is an exceptional jewelry designer, who has won many awards internationally. The only reason she chose to stay with the Lynch Group wasn't because she had intentions toward Joshua Lynch, but because she's a local of Banyan City. She dedicated herself to growing the jewelry industry of Banyan City.“
The crowd was in an uproar at Gwen's words. Everyone, including Alice and Luna, looked at Gwen in shock.
The small auditorium was instantly in a clamor.
After a while, a reporter finally came to their senses. They picked up the microphone and asked, “Ms.
Gwen, since you said that Luna didn't seduce Joshua, how do you explain those photos?“
Gwen smiled.
She took her phone and projected it on the screen live. “There are other versions of the photos.“
Gwen furrowed her brows and determinedly made those photos public.
Everyone fell into chaos as the photos that were published were clearly filtered through. The photos could be seen as Luna seducing Joshua, but the photos that Gwen released were not the case.
Once the whole set of photos were released, the truth was out.
Joshua was interested in Luna's necklace. He wanted to take the necklace on her neck.
Luna instinctively protected the necklace on her neck.
In those photos, the two of them were arguing back and forth for the necklace.
Everyone was stunned.
How was this female staff seducing her boss? This was the boss trying to take his staff's personal belongings!
The last photo was shown.
Joshua sat on the sofa as he fiddled with Luna's necklace in his hand. Luna, who sat opposite him, was angry yet helpless. “These are all the photos.“
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 406
Gwen smiled at the reporters' camera. “This is the truth.“
Some reporters were unconvinced. “But, Ms. Gwen, the photos you released previously were clearly trying to create a story. You also told everyone that Luna and Joshua are having an affair. How do you explain this?“
Gwen took a deep breath and chuckled, “I can only say that I was being threatened by someone. As for who, I will reveal it later. I can't tell everyone the truth behind this incident yet, because there are things I still have to make sure of.“
Then, Gwen smiled and stood up. She bowed at the camera. “I apologize for what I said yesterday. I also apologize to my friend, Luna. From the beginning, I have been going up against her. I have always been targeting her, but not only did she not mind, she even willingly forgave me and became friends with me. I'm really happy.“
Gwen, on stage, smiled as bright as the coming -of- age ceremony back then.
“The reason I chose this venue for the press conference was because this is where I had my coming-of-age ceremony. Previously, my best friend and I swore that once we grew up, we should bear responsibilities like adults. I have done it.“
Luna, below the stage, looked at Gwen while clenching her fists tightly.
She did not know what Gwen was thinking at that moment, but she was truly touched.
She never expected that even after so many years of not contacting each other, Gwen still remembered the oath she took back then.
Luna closed her eyes.
When Gwen picked the venue for the press conference the day before, she should have already made the decision to clear her name, right?
However, whether it was back then, or at that moment, Andy Larson was still in the hands of the Walter family.
How much pressure she must have had to publish these photos and tell the truth...
“Ms. Luna?“
Just when Luna was feeling emotional, another man sitting next to her recognized her.
He said in a loud voice, “You're Ms. Luna, right? Who would have thought Luna would attend the press conference herself! “
The entire crowd's attention was on Luna upon the man's words.
While everyone was paying attention to Luna, Alice instinctively blocked her face with the newspaper, yet someone could still recognize her.
The press conference was abuzz with excitement. Luna and Alice were forced to stand up.
“Ms. Luna, you're sitting next to Ms. Alice. Did the two of you come together?“
“Even with the rumors online, the two of you could still sit next to each other. Does that mean that your relationship is not how it seems online?“
“Ms. Alice, everyone on the internet said that Ms. Luna broke up with you and Mr. Lynch? What is your view on this?“
The questions came over like cannonballs.
Luna furrowed her brows. She did not plan on answering them, but Alice's eyes sparkled.
The next second, she reached out affectionately and grabbed Luna's hand. “We're in a good relationship. She is an exceptional jewelry designer of the Lynch Group, and I am the wife of the president. Naturally, we are close to each other.“
Then, she pointed at the photos on stage. “These photos. My husband thought that the necklace looked good. He wanted to make one for me, that was why he snatched her necklace over.
Then, Alice smiled and looked at the camera. “If we don't have a good relationship, why would my husband bring Luna together with us on a business trip? Without my consent, he would not bring any other women out on a business trip. My husband and I are in a loving relationship.“
Upon her words, a female reporter stood up. “But, why did I hear that you ganged up with outsiders and forced Ms. Luna to drink last night, Mrs. Lynch?“
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 408
He sent her a message.
(The Walters transferred Andy this morning. While they were transferring him, Lucas and I had been following them. Andy is fine. I'll handle the rest.
This thing ends here.]
Luna looked at her phone and stared at the last sentence, (This thing ends here].
Gwen's father was imprisoned and almost could not escape. Gwen almost killed her own father.
She herself also almost got destroyed.
All that was in exchange for Joshua's casual message brushing it off, saying, (This all ends here].
Luna remained in the same spot. She saw Alice running toward him and hugging his arm.
She felt as if someone was stabbing her heart. Over and over again.
He was always so indulgent and protective of Alice.
Who the hell was she? She was nothing. Not back then, not at that moment.
She did not dare think that if she returned back to him as Luna Gibson, just like Alice, would he treat her well?
She guessed that it was unlikely.
He could like many women. He could even like the woman that used her name and her face, but he
would never like her no matter who she changed into.
Luna was overwhelmed with helplessness and disappointment.
Luna stood there in the auditorium until all the reporters left. Even when everything was over, she still did not come to her senses.
In the end, she was chased out by the janitor.
“You're still young. If there are problems, go and solve them. What use is crying! “
The janitor's words made Luna wipe her tears subconsciously.
She was indeed crying. There were also a lot of tears. Luna laughed self-deprecatingly.
Six years ago after the accident, she swore that she would never cry for Joshua anymore.
However... she still could not help it.
“Luna.“
Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out.
Luna subconsciously looked up. Gwen was standing in front of her.
“No one could contact you. Theo also said that he could not find you. I thought that you might be here. I was correct! “
She reached out and held Luna's cold hands. “Are you crying?“
Luna wiped away her tears. She grabbed Gwen's hand in return. “Is uncle fine?“
“He is alright.“
Gwen pursed her lips. “Thanks to Joshua. If it were not for him, I would not be able to see my father anymore. My father explained it all to me. He said that Joshua knew that Hailey was the main culprit behind this, the Walters and the Lynches had a relationship going on. He had to save some face for Walters, that was why he did not let me reveal Hailey's name.“
Then, she could not help but sigh emotionally, “ Although I don't like Joshua, I have to admit that sometimes he has pretty high emotional intelligence. He would care about how others feel.“
Luna closed her eyes and sneered, “Yes. He cares about how others feel, except me.“
Then, just when she was about to say something else, her phone rang.
It was a call from Lucas.
“Mr. Lynch told me to tell you that the Walters are having dinner to catch up tonight. You have to be there.“
Luna sneered, “Hailey almost made me a mistress and I still have to socialize with her?“
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 408
He sent her a message.
(The Walters transferred Andy this morning. While they were transferring him, Lucas and I had been following them. Andy is fine. I'll handle the rest.

“Mr. Lynch told me to tell you that the Walters are having dinner to catch up tonight. You have to be there.“
Luna sneered, “Hailey almost made me a mistress and I still have to socialize with her?“
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 409
Lucas, on the other end of the call, was silent for a while.
“Luna, please don't direct your emotions at Mr. Lynch. He took a group of people to rescue Andy Larson this morning. If it were not for him, the things your friend said during the press conference were more than enough for her to not see her father forever. Mr. Lynch had no choice either. After all, the Walters and Lynches have a relationship. Some things can't be done to the extreme.“
Then, Lucas sighed. “You have to come tonight, if not, you will regret it.“
Luna furrowed her brows. She wanted to say something else but Lucas had already hung up.
“Are you going tonight?“ When she hung up, Gwen cautiously asked Luna.
Luna closed her eyes and let out a long sigh, “Yes.“
If she were to not go, how would she know how far Joshua could go?
Just because the Lynches and Walters had a relationship, so Hailey could do all these to harm her and Joshua could just write it off casually?
In the evening.
Luna came to the Walters' house as promised.
Gwen came together with her. Initially, Theo wanted
to accompany them but the Walters only allowed Luna to take one friend.
After giving it much thought, Luna chose Gwen. The only reason being that the Walter family almost killed Gwen's father that day.
The moment they got out of the car, they held hands and entered the Walters' mansion.
The moment they entered, they bumped into Alice who was sitting by the corridors on a phone call.
Upon seeing them enter, Alice hung up, smiled, and looked at Luna. “You really came?“
Then, she looked at Gwen next to Luna. “And you brought my best friend along! “
Gwen's face turned blue. “Alice! “
“Why? Did you forget how you came to me to catch up in the first place?“
Alice lowered her gaze. She gently arranged the flowers by the corridor. “If it weren't your idea to install a pinhole camera in the hotel room, how would I have thought about it?“
Gwen and Luna were instantly stunned by Alice's words.
Luna looked at Gwen in shock.
Turns out...
It was Gwen who gave Alice the idea to install the pinhole camera?
It made sense too. If it was not her, how would she have the complete set of photos of that day?
If it were not for her, why would Gwen and Andy appear together the first moment after she found out about the pinhole camera?
Gwen bit her lips and swept Luna an apologetic glance. Then, she glared at Alice fiercely. “Yes, the pinhole camera was indeed my idea, I also took those photos for you, but Alice, at that time, I truly thought that you were my best friend. You came crying to me saying how someone was spoiling your
marriage but you could not find evidence to prove it!
“If you did not come crying so sadly that day, I would never have given you such an idea! “
Alice chuckled lightly, “Why don't you properly explain this to your best friend Luna.“
Then, Alice suddenly thought of something and looked at Gwen. “Luna is not from Sea City. She would still have to return to Banyan City, but Gwen, you're different. You still have to stay here. I'm sure you know clearly what would happen to you if you offend the Walters.“
Then, Alice sneered and strode away.
Gwen, remaining in the same spot, glared at Alice. She said nothing.
“Gwennie.“ When Alice finally vanished within their sight, Luna furrowed her brows and looked at Gwen curiously. “Do you have something on Alice and the Walters?“
If she was right, Alice must have been deliberately waiting for them there.
Upon seeing them, her words might seem like she was trying to drive a wedge in between them, but the main point should be the last sentence.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 410
Alice was warning Gwen not to offend the Walter family.
That meant that Gwen had something on the Walters that could offend them.
“No, “ Gwen denied. “How could I have something on them? If I had, why would I be threatened by them?“
Luna looked at her confusedly.
However, upon a closer thought, it made sense too.
If Gwen had something on them, how would she be threatened by them?
Luna took a deep breath and hugged Gwen's arm. “
Let's go in.“
Gwen secretly let out a sigh of relief where Luna could not see her. Actually, she knew what Alice was trying to remind her of.
Because the pinhole camera has previously captured Hailey calling Alice Ms. Hailey respectfully.
The Walter family prepared a feast.
Old Mr. Walter was sitting in the main seat, smiling, and raising his wine glass.
“Joshua, time flies. You're returning to Banyan City in a blink of an eye. Please send my regards to your grandmother and your father! “
Joshua smiled and downed his glass of wine. “Thank you, Uncle Dennis.
“But.“
Joshua glanced at Hailey, who was next to Old Mr. Walter. “I have a favor I hope that you could help me with before I leave Sea City, Uncle Dennis.“
Old Mr. Walter waved his hands generously. “Tell me! As long as you tell me, I will help you as best as I can! “
“Thank you, Uncle Dennis.“
Joshua calmly placed the empty wine glass on the table. He swept Hailey a cold glance. “I want to ask Ms. Hailey. Do you have any grudges with a staff member of mine called Luna?“
Hailey was stunned. Her face turned pale instantly.
She picked up the wine glass with trembling hands and took a sip of alcohol to boost her courage.
“I have no grudge with her.“
“That's good, then. “ Joshua elegantly leaned back. “ But, I have found out a couple of interesting things in the past few days.“
Then, he accepted a document from Lucas and placed them in front of Old Mr. Walter. “Uncle Dennis, you can have a look.
“First, when we were inspecting the factory previously, Ms. Hailey arranged for a person called Gavin to accompany us. Later on, when my men interrogated him, Gavin admitted that he was under Ms. Hailey's orders. That was why he kept harassing my staff.
“Later on, when we went to the factory, a huge ore flew toward Luna and almost hit her. I thought it was strange too. How could such a successful factory from the Walter Group have such a reckless accident? So I got my men to investigate it. It was also under orders from Ms. Hailey.“
Everyone was so shocked at Joshua's words that they were rendered speechless.
Luna looked at Joshua in a daze. She never would have thought that all these incidents had been instructed by someone.
If Joshua did not say anything or investigated it, she would not have suspected it at all.
“Also.“
Joshua calmly swept a glance at Hailey's pale face.
“That night, Mr. Scott forced Luna to drink. When she was drunk, she was taken away... by a friend.
Later on, a group of people using my name, brought five escorts to look for Luna, trying to ruin her by taking photos of her and threatening her. After investigation, these people had been sent by Ms. Hailey too.“
Then, he smiled, with his smiles not reaching his eyes. “May I ask then, Ms. Hailey, how much of a grudge do you have with Luna that you had to use all your power to target her?“
