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

company.

“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.”

Just like that-with a few carefully chosen words-Luna shifted the blame squarely onto two others.

Then she added, as if softening the blow, “Yes, they made a mistake. But Uncle Lucien, Kaia wasn’t right either. She started it by kicking Kimberly and her mom out. So… isn’t it kind of

understandable that Kimberly fought back?”

Lucien’s expression turned glacial.

“I don’t care about the reasons,” he said coldly. “What I care about is that someone in my company pulled a stunt like this. That’s unacceptable.”

His voice dropped, like frost settling in the air.

“I’ll have HR fire this Lucy immediately.”

He paused-then looked straight at Luna.

“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.
