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!
