Will You Marry Me My Ex-Wife

“Took her life…?“

Theo’s anger dissipated the moment he heard Joshua’s words. He no longer felt like arguing with Joshua.

He turned around and grabbed Luna’s arms. “Luna, why did you… Why did you attempt to end yourself? Was it because of what my parents said last night? Was it something else…? What’s wrong?“

Theo shook Luna so harshly that she grew light- headed. Then, after a moment, she furrowed her brows feebly. “I’m fine. I’m just…“

“Theo! “ a shrill voice abruptly interrupted Luna. She frowned and glanced in the direction where the voice had come from.

A black BMW was parked by the side of the road. Celeste and Nathan frantically got out of the car and sprinted in their direction.

“Theo, as soon as we discovered you were gone, we knew you had snuck out to find that b*tch! “ Celeste grabbed Theo’s arm and pulled him to her side. “ What did you promise me last night? You promised me you wouldn’t get in touch with that b*tch ever again! Why did you come here to find her?“

Nathan shot Luna a stern look. “Ms. Luna, I thought that after what happened last night, you’d be dignified enough to stay away from Theo. Seems like I thought of you too highly. “ He condescendingly added, “I do have to admit that it’s not entirely your fault, however. How could a promiscuous gold— digger like you resist the temptation? Although we’re not as rich as Mr. Lynch, it’s still more than enough to keep you satisfied.“

“Dad! “ Theo frowned and flung his mother’s hand away. He sidled in front of Luna, blocking her from the rest. “How could you say something like this? Didn’t I explain everything to you last night? Luna isn’t that kind of person at all! How dare you even insult her like this?“

Celeste’s blood boiled as soon as she heard Theo defending Luna.

Theo was her only son, so it was natural that she wanted nothing but the best for him. Yesterday, when she saw the news, she even researched Luna to understand better what kind of person she was.

Initially, she was very pleased with this future daughter-in-law, but everything had changed.

Beautiful women were never faithful!

Celeste recalled her conversation with Alice last night and grew even more outraged.

This woman was so shameful that she even dared to seduce her best friend’s husband. This was unacceptable!

Celeste stomped toward Luna with an air of fury. “ You b*tch! Would it kill you not to seduce other men like this?“

With that, she raised her palm in the air and swung it towards Luna’s face—

A slender, bony hand caught Celeste’s wrist in mid-air.

“Mrs. Allen.” Joshua curled his lips into a smirk. “ How dare you even assault my employee right in front of my office building? Don’t you think that’s very disrespectful toward me?”

Celeste’s eyes widened in shock. She never expected that Joshua would stick up for Luna like that.

He had been the first to accuse Luna of not being good enough for Theo last night. Moreover, he was also the one who exposed Luna’s promiscuity! Why was he…

“Mrs. Allen.” Joshua flung her hand away and stepped in front of Luna, guarding her behind his lean body. “This is the entrance of Lynch Group Tower, not someplace where you can cause a scene whenever you like.”

Celeste’s face turned white, then scarlet.

Theo frowned, lunged forward, and immediately grabbed Celeste. “Mom, what are you doing?” “Mr. Lynch.”

Nathan frowned. “Since Luna is your employee, shouldn’t you reprimand her for being promiscuous and having a complicated personal life?“

Joshua chuckled. “It’s not like she’s my wife, so why should I care about all this?“

Everybody froze as soon as they heard that, even Luna. Her expression darkened. It turned out…

Joshua still thought she was promiscuous and impure.

The reason he had defended her in front of the Allens was not that he trusted her, but because—

He did not care about her at all.

Luna gripped the hem of her shirt tightly.

She had always known that Joshua did not care about her. Even if he did, it was just temporary because he wanted to have fun with her.

However, Luna still could not help but feel a twinge of pain in her heart when she heard what Joshua had said. She felt as though someone had pricked her with a needle, and her heart oozed blood.

Meanwhile, Nathan was so shocked by this sudden turn of events that he did not know what to say.

Joshua turned around and glanced at Nathan and Celeste. “If I remember correctly, you two have decided not to take Luna in as your future daughter-in-law, right?“

Celeste snorted in indignation. “Of course. We won’t allow our son to marry a s1*t like her! “

“Well, since you’ve already changed your mind about the engagement, then what are you doing here?“ Joshua shot them a stern look. “Since she’s not going to be marrying your son anymore, why do you care about her personal life? What does any of this have to do with you?“

Celeste furrowed her brows. “She seduced my son! If it weren’t for her, Theo wouldn’t have come here so early in the morning! “

“The stitches on Luna’s shoulder burst last night, and she was in so much pain that she passed out. She spent the entire night in the hospital, and I was with her. She never contacted Theo ever since they parted ways last night, so how can you say she seduced him?“

With that, Joshua glanced at Theo impassively. “Did Luna ask you to come here?“

Theo paused for a moment, stunned, then finally realized what Joshua was trying to do. He immediately shook his head. “No, no! Luna didn’t contact me at all. I came here all by myself to look for her…“

As soon as he said this, Joshua smirked. “Did you hear that, Mr. and Mrs. Allen? What you have to do right now is keep an eye on your son instead of causing a scene at my building entrance.“

He then turned around and glanced at Luna. “You should go in first.“

Luna pursed her lips, lifted her head to gaze at Theo, then finally turned around and entered the building.

“You…“ Celeste was seething with rage when she saw Luna disappear into Lynch Group Tower.

However, she did not want to offend Joshua further, so she had no choice but to swallow her rage and keep quiet.

“Lucas.“ As soon as Luna entered the building, Joshua gave a stretch and ordered, “Get Zach and Yuri to guard the front doors and tighten up security all around the building. Don’t let any troublemakers into Lynch Group Tower.“

“Yes, Sir! “

The color drained from Celeste’s face as soon as she heard that. Nathan, too, was so angry that he balled up his fists.

“Joshua Lynch! “ He snarled through gritted teeth and glared at Joshua’s retreating figure. “How dare you treat us like this? Did you forget that you were supposed to collaborate with us? We’re the only people who can supply you with the precious ores you want! Aren’t you afraid that we’d forfeit the contract and refuse to do business with you anymore?“

Joshua could not help but smirk when he heard what Nathan had said. He turned around to look at him. “I t seems as though you’re unaware that we’re buying these gemstones from you upon Luna’s request, Mr. Allen.

“According to Lynch Group’s senior executives, we can always change the materials used for this project to diamonds. However, Luna was the one who insisted on using your gemstones. She thinks they’ll be more suitable for her designs. If you want to forfeit our contract, I can convince Luna to change her mind and use diamonds for her products instead, but…“

Joshua stared at Nathan with a steely look. “Are you sure you want to do that, Mr. Allen? I ‘m afraid you don’t want to find out the consequences of offending Lynch Group and any of its employees. “

Nathan’s face turned pale, then blushed scarlet. He clenched his fists and stared at Joshua. “Mr. Lynch, I don’t think the two of us should break our contract over a woman.“

“Look who’s talking,“ snapped Joshua. “It’s you who caused a scene in front of my office building so early in the morning, yet you had the audacity to say this?“

Nathan was so affronted by this that he could not answer.

Shooting them a final smirk, Joshua turned around and strode into Lynch Group Tower.

Nathan and Celeste were rooted where they stood, and their faces contorted in rage. They were furious at the way they were treated. However, they did not dare to offend such a big corporation as Lynch Group, so they had no choice but to relent.

”Dad, Mom! ” Theo shot his parents a somewhat helpless glance. ”I already told you that Luna isn’t the kind of person you think she is, but you didn’t listen to me at all, and now you even followed me here! See what happened? Are you happy now that Joshua Lynch has humiliated you in public like this?”

”Shut up! ” Nathan was still irate from his encounter with Joshua and immediately vented his anger toward Theo. ”You can have any woman in the world, yet you chose that b*tch Luna and even announced your relationship on television ! If our relatives find out about her, you’ll embarrass both of us! Let’s go home, right now! ”

With that, he grabbed Theo by his collar and dragged him into the car.

Celeste sighed when she saw the way her husband and son were behaving. She took out her phone and typed a message to Alice.

(Ms. Lync, we’re at the front door of Lynch Group Tower right now. I was about to slap Luna on your behalf, but Mr. Lynch stopped me. I believe what you said about Luna seducing Mr. Lynch now, but… He’s forbidden us to enter Lynch Group Tower now, and he threatened to forfeit our contract. We can’t do anything about Luna. What do you think we should do next?)

Blue Bay Villa.

Alice stared at Celeste’s message and gritted her teeth in anger.

She narrowed her eyes and gripped her phone tightly.

Last night, she had called Joshua to ask where he was. He had lied to her, saying that he worked overnight at the office when, in reality, he had spent the entire night in the hospital with Luna!

He was even willing to forfeit his contract with the Allens just for her!

Even though the Allens were not a big company, they were one of the few corporations who possessed the rights to mine this particular ore that Lynch Group needed. Therefore, many companies clamored to do business with them. Lynch Group had to fight tooth and nail just to get this opportunity to work with them.
