Wedding My Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 72 In His Debt

Luna’s mouth opened, but no words came out.

She nervously glanced at Allen and Alden, then explained in a panic, “Uncle Lucien, it’s not like that. You’ve got the wrong idea.”

Lucien said, taking a step closer, “Yeah, right. Then tell me, how did I get it wrong?”

Luna bit her lip pitifully. She had no idea how Lucien found out about this, and even less why Lucy had betrayed her!

In a fit of desperation, Luna blurted out, “Uncle Lucien, that day Kimberly heard from Lucy that Kaia works at Vanguard Law Firm, and Lucy mentioned the firm is working with your

“Kimberly was furious that Kaia was trying to kick her and her mom out of the villa. So, in a moment of anger, she told Lucy to do it.”

“But you knew. And you said nothing. That makes you just as guilty.”

His tone sharpened further.

“Spreading rumors that someone is a homewrecker? That takes a special kind of cruelty.”

Luna stiffened.

She understood what he truly meant-he was calling her heartless.
