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!

“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.
