The office was quiet for a few seconds. Luna smiled. She could not help but laugh.

“Mr. Lynch, you think that your wife wouldn’t be so stupid as to use her name, but I would. Is that it?“

Joshua’s expressions darkened a little.

He almost forgot. The woman nicknamed Alice in the chat that morning also claimed to be Luna herself.

Luna sneered, plopping onto the sofa in front of Joshua. “Alice wouldn’t use her name to stir up trouble, but you’re so sure that I’m Hailey, that I ‘d use Mr. Walter from Sea City to help me out in Banyan City.“

Joshua looked at her, saying nothing.

Luna continued calmly, “Mr. Lynch, have you forgotten? After the funeral of the impostor Hailey passed away in Sea City, you told me that you’ve already suspected that the woman is just an impostor.

“Tell me then, Mr. Lynch. Why would I risk getting Mr. Walter’s men to come to Banyan City when I clearly knew that you already suspected that the real Hailey isn’t dead yet?

“Banyan City is under you and your friend, Jude’s territory. If I’m Hailey, why would I get them to take such a risk to come here and so blatantly beat Irene up right after I had a conflict with her?

“Is it that I’m not afraid my identity would be exposed?“

Joshua’s eyes narrowed a little upon Luna’s words.

Actually, regarding Luna’s identity, it had always been Jude’s speculations only. He never agreed with him.

It was only that there were too many suspicious aspects to this matter.

Luna was a person that he trusted. He was not willing to be around her in suspicion, and that was why he took the risk to ask her directly, even when he did not have enough proof of her identity.

Her reaction and attitude explained everything he needed to know.

A huge burden being put down, Joshua smiled teasingly and looked at Luna. “Perhaps you might’ve guessed that I’d think that you’re not that stupid, so you did it on purpose?“

Luna felt a fire of rage overwhelming her. Did this man take her for a fool?

Luna bit her lips and stood up immediately. “Since you got me to stay but it’s not because of Neil and Nellie, I don’t need to continue wasting my time with you, Mr. Lynch. If you have proof that I’m Hailey, then show them. As long as there is enough proof, no matter how I deny it, it’d be pointless. If there’s none, however, don’t you dare for one second try to pin Hailey’s identity on me! “

Then, Luna turned around and stormed off angrily. Joshua sat in the office, looking at Luna leaving. He smiled.

He lowered his eyes and swept a glance at the design sketches on her desk. He could not help but pick one up and admire them.

The last sketch was not in her previously announced drafts. It seemed to have been drawn last minute.

It was a men’s ring with a skull.

He furrowed his brows. He felt that the man’s hand on the sketch was a little familiar. He looked aside and noticed his right hand that held the sketches.

It was the exact same.

Joshua furrowed his brows, thinking he was hallucinating, but as he had a closer look, it was indeed his hand.

Even the position and the shape of the little scars on his hand were exactly the same. Since when did she observe his hands so closely?

Joshua furrowed his brows and immediately took his phone out. He captured a photo of the sketch and saved it on his phone.

In the cafe downstairs of Lynch Group.

Alice smiled and looked at the man in front of her. “So, the person that hired you told you to tell me that Mr. Lynch was the one that wanted me killed?“

Jason was holding onto the check in his hand. He chuckled. “Of course. However, Mrs. Lynch, you and Mr. Lynch could still love each other even when you didn’t know whether it was him that did it or not. I salute you. I would’ve thought that you’d at least have some hostility toward him. Back then, the woman that got me to crash you specifically instructed me to say that it was Mr. Lynch who arranged for me to do it.“

Jason lifted his head and looked at Alice’s face. “ Have you never once suspected Mr. Lynch? Not even get angry at him?“

Alice laughed. “Of course not. He’s my husband, and no way will I suspect him.“

She smiled and looked at Jason. “Have you ever met that woman?“

Jason shook his head. “I only know that she was a woman. I don’t know anything else about her.“

“I see.“ Alice sighed. “Before my husband and I got married, there had always been a woman called Hailey Walter who liked my husband a lot. She tried to hurt me a few times so that she could have my husband to herself. She’s probably the one that planned the accident six years ago.“

Alice glanced at Jason, the smile still plastered on her face. “This woman has never looked for you since after the incident six years ago, right?“

Jason paused for a while before nodding.

“That’s because she’s gone through cosmetic surgery and looked different.“

Alice immediately took out a woman’s photo and placed it in front of Jason. “This is how she looks now. She’s been staying in my husband’s company, trying to find ways to seduce him.“

Jason furrowed his brows and subconsciously looked at the photo.

Instantly, his eyes widened.

That was right. The woman in the photo was the woman she saw in Zach and Yuri’s house the night before.

Luna.

He even made an arrangement with her to pick Bonnie up from the hospital that night!

“A—Are you sure?“

Jason furrowed his brows before saying in a hushed tone, “I’ve met Ms. Luna twice. She doesn’t seem to be what you describe her to be…“

“If she could be so easily called out, how could she put on an act in front of my husband for so long?“

Alice sighed. “Think about it. When Luna saw you, did she react strangely at all?“

Jason paused a little.

There seemed to be…

Every time Luna looked at him, she would not dare meet his gaze. She would secretly try to avoid him.

He initially thought that the scar on his face intimidated her.

At that moment, when he thought of it… “You realized it, right?”

Jason nodded.

He lifted his head and looked seriously at Alice. “So, Mrs. Lynch, is there anything you need me to do? “

“Of course.”

Alice smiled and took out a check from her bag and directly placed it in front of Jason. “We won’t expose her identity for the time being. Just pretend that Mr. Lynch did hire you back then. Stay by her side and get a grip on her. In the future, we’ll slowly reveal that she’s Hailey Walter.”

Alice narrowed her eyes.

This time, she pushed all the things that Aura did back then on Hailey.

As long as she could pin Hailey’s identity on Luna, she did not believe that Joshua would still protect her!

Luna received a call from Theo during lunch.

He first apologized to Luna on Celeste’s behalf before asking her out for dinner that night.

“I have other arrangements tonight.“ Luna ate while looking at her memo on her phone.

That night, she had to pick Bonnie out from the hospital together with Jason.

At the thought of Jason, she could help but furrowed her brows. This man still gave her the chills at the thought of him.

Regardless, she did not want to give up the chance to get to know Jason.

After all…

Luna narrowed her eyes.

Jason, of course, knew how Joshua wanted her dead back then. He was the weapon that Joshua used against her.

If she was about to make the incident back then known to the public, to let everyone see clearly how despicable Joshua was, Jason was an indispensable link!

“What time do you end tonight, then? I’ll go pick you up?“ Theo’s voice sounded graciously considerate on the other end of the line. “Are you having a business gathering?“

“No, I have made arrangements to pick up a friend from the hospital.“

Luna took a deep breath. “You don’t have to pick me up. You’re busy enough.“

On the other end of the call, Theo was silent for a while.

After a long moment, he sighed. “Luna, I want to do something for you. To compensate… My mother has done such terrible things to you, and I want to help her apologize to you.“

Luna paused for a while. She inexplicably became soft-hearted.

Theo was indeed a gentle and kind-hearted man.

Even if she was displeased with Celeste, hearing how gentle Theo’s tone was, she could not bear to continue reprimanding him.

However, she also understood that if she did not let Theo do something, Theo would probably feel uncomfortable.

Thus, Luna furrowed her brows. “If you want to do something, you can help me investigate a few people.“

Theo was instantly spirited in their call. “Who do you want me to investigate?“

“Do you remember Irene Cook from this morning? She got beaten up by a few men last night. Those men pretended that they were under my orders. Help me check where those men come from, along with the IP address and address of the person they contacted most recently. Hand them to the police afterward.“

Luna suddenly felt that this problem would be too challenging for Theo.

“As for the IP address, you can contact Nigel.“

“Okay! “ Theo happily accepted this mission. “Don’t worry. Leave it to me and Nigel! He’ll be in charge of the internet, and I’ll be in charge of the physical aspects. We’ll find this out for you! “
