Luna raised her brows and looked in the direction of the sound.

By the entrance of her office, Joshua, in black, was leaning by the entrance, looking at her indifferently. His arms were crossed around his chest.

It looked like he had been there for quite some time.

Luna said seriously, “I only want to know which hospital she is at, so I can get Theo to help me gather some news.“

At that moment, Irene was being resuscitated, everyone’s emotions and despise against Luna had to be at their peak. Luna would be crazy to go to the hospital personally.

However, in the end, everything that Irene did was targeting her.

Luna had to know of Irene’s situation, so getting Theo to look on her behalf was the best option. If Luna recalled correctly, Theo has a few friends in the hospitals of Banyan City.

Joshua slightly furrowed his brows. “You trust Theo that much?“

Theo was not from the medical world, he did not have influence in Banyan City as well. He was not even from Banyan City.

Still, once she encountered such a matter, the first person Luna thought of was actually Theo to help her gather news.

Was Luna just treating Joshua as a prop? Perhaps, in her heart, Theo was more reliable than him?

Once Joshua knew of the Irene incident, he immediately contacted the doctor who was resuscitating Irene in the shortest time possible. Then, he came over to look for Luna with his first – hand news.

Still, Luna just kept talking about Theo!

Luna furrowed her brows and met with his gaze fearlessly. “Shou1dn’t I trust my boyfriend?“

Shannon, who was scrolling through her phone by the side, said, “Found it. She’s currently in New Life Hospital. Getting Mr. Allen to have a look is one of the safest options. On one hand, he is Director

Luna’s boyfriend. On the other hand, he is also a famous artist. Even if the people were vicious, they have to be wary of his status. They would not dare to do anything to him.“

Then, Shannon lifted her head. “Director Luna, you….”

Before she could finish her sentence, she realized that the atmosphere between Luna and Joshua was a little off.

At the thought that Luna and Joshua had so many rumors between them…

Shannon paused for a while and cautiously backed out. Then, she shut the office door.

It was only Luna and Joshua left in the office. The atmosphere was so quiet it was suffocating.

Joshua entered and sat down on Luna’s sofa. “I thought that you would trust me more.“

Luna furrowed her brows and sat down on the chair once again. “What did I do to give you such a misunderstood impression, Mr. Lynch?“

“Theo’s mother was still finding fault with you yesterday.“

“Theo is Theo, his mother is another person.“

“You called me last night to do something for you. “ “But I also promised to add another design in this project.“

The air was once again in silence.

In the end, Joshua harrumphed coldly and stood up. He took out the sketch he saw on her table the day before. The one with his hand.

“How do you explain this? You have been secretly modeling your sketches after my hand, yet you say you don’t trust me?“

Looking at Joshua’s hand in the sketch, Luna’s head instantly ached.

Actually, the sketch was done a long time ago.

Back then, when they were abroad, Nellie would like to come up with topics for her to sketch. Nellie told her to design a ring for their father, wondering what it would look like.

Although Luna did not like that topic, but to appease her daughter, she still sketched it out.

The ring has a skull on it and other assorted horror elements. Those represent her resentment for Joshua.

Because the design was for him, so naturally she modeled the sketch after his hand.

Neil must have shipped this sketch over together with the others when he sent all her sketches back from abroad.

However, why would it appear on her desk at that moment?

She furrowed her brows and thought for a long while.

Finally, she recalled. When Celeste came to throw the check at her the day before, She placed all her honorary certificates on the table. One of the folded sketches dropped on the floor, but at that time she was busy dealing with Celeste, she did not care for it.

At that moment, it seemed like…

Either Arianna, Samson, or Zayne must have picked up the sketch and mistook it for a recent sketch of her, that was why they placed it on the table.

At that thought, Luna could not help but rub the middle of her brows.

No wonder Joshua would ask her about modeling in her sketches in their phone call the night before. It was because of this.

Seeing how she was silent, Joshua sneered and laughed, “Why are you not talking? You secretly drew my hand, designing a ring for me, yet on the other hand, you say you don’t trust me?“

Luna pursed her lips. She should not have agreed to Nellie playing that game back then.

Luna took a deep breath. She lifted her eyes and looked at Joshua. “Alright, yes, I did secretly design a ring for you, Mr. Lynch, but my reasons are also simple. As an employee working under the Lynch Group, I have been causing you troubles many times, so I wanted to specially design a ring for you as compensation.“

Then, Luna took out her phone and searched for Theo’s contact. She was about to dial it when Joshua calmly raised his gaze and looked at her.

“Are you still getting Theo to help you?“ Luna paused for a while. “Can’t I?“

Joshua changed into another comfortable position on the sofa. “In Banyan City, I rule.“

Luna was silent for a moment.

After a while, she lifted her gaze and smiled at him. “ In that case, Mr. Lynch, are you willing to send men to help me gather some news on Irene’s current situation?“

“She’s fine.“

He finally waited for her to ask this question. Joshua picked up the documents he placed by the side and threw them on Luna’s desk.

“Lucas has already reached the hospital half an hour ago. They might say that Irene is still undergoing resuscitation, but it had been long completed. She is currently staying in the hospital. Although they say she’s undergoing resuscitation, they are just using this to create momentum. Their purpose is to get more people to know that you were the one that hurt her that way.“

Luna furrowed her brows. She picked up the documents and flipped through them.

As expected.

Irene’s patient’s record clearly stated that she fell from the third-story balcony, about six meters high, onto a lawn.

There were no serious injuries. There were bone fractures on her left foot. Also, other bruises.

After seeing Irene’s patient’s records, Luna chuckled, “I thought it would be quite serious.“

Jumping off the building, being resuscitated, leaving a note… such dramatic ways. Luna thought that Irene was truly planning to die to bring her down.

“She only wants you to pay the price, it’s not that she really wants to die. “

“It’s strange, though.“ Luna put the documents down. “Yesterday, when Irene left the office, this incident was resolved. Arianna said that yesterday she heard Irene telling the people that she brought along to protest that this matter has ended. In less than a day, why is she trying to create trouble again Joshua laughed, “Because people from a media company approached Irene yesterday, so this leaving a note, jumping off a building incident is just a hype. It’s because your identity is too special. A famous jewelry designer having rumors with the Lynch Group president. Now, you’re also the great artist, Theo Allen’s girlfriend. On top of that…“

Joshua narrowed his eyes. “Yesterday, the police caught the people that beat up Irene. All of them said that you were the one that ordered them to do so.“

Luna narrowed her eyes.

“There’s something else that is quite interesting too.“ Joshua looked at Luna and smiled. “The media company that is helping Irene make news… is from Sea City. The shareholders behind this company are very mysterious. I could not find out anything after many rounds of investigating, but one thing I’m sure of is that this company has an inextricable link with the Walter family.“

Luna shuddered.

She raised her gaze, smiled, and looked at Joshua. “So, you still think I’m Hailey Walter, is that it, Mr. Lynch?”

”Since the beginning, not once have I thought that you are Hailey Walter.”

Joshua looked at Luna closely. ”But so many incidents that had to do with you had something to do with Hailey too. My guess is that you already know who the real Hailey is and where she is.

”Tell me.”

Luna was instantly in a daze.

Never would she have expected that Joshua would immediately guess that she knew who Hailey was when he was still suspecting her of being Hailey the day before.

This man’s acuity… was way beyond her imagination.

She took a deep breath and kept herself calm. She raised her gaze and looked at him. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Mr. Lynch. How would I know about the news on Hailey?“

Joshua laughed.

He leaned back on the sofa and elegantly crossed his legs. His gaze was calm. “She has been constantly targeting you. It started when we were in Sea City. For such a long time, every time she targeted you, she wanted your life. According to your character, it would be impossible for you to just sit and do nothing. However, from the information I have recently, you have never done anything to Hailey, who has been hiding somewhere in the dark. So, the only possibility is that you have long known the existence of Hailey. You also know all her current secrets. That is why you could be so calm.“

Then, Joshua gracefully raised his eyebrows. “Am I right?“

Luna narrowed her eyes. She clenched her fists under the table.

Joshua’s gaze was too sharp and penetrating as if he could see through all her secrets.

Luna did not dare to meet his gaze. She was afraid that even meeting his gaze for a split second, he would be able to see the panic in her eyes.

After a while, Luna took a deep breath. She lifted her head. ”Since you have already investigated and analyzed this so thoroughly, can’t you find out any clues pertaining to Hailey?”

Joshua laughed, ”Of course, there are things that I can’t find out. Throughout this period, only Alice seemed to have a problem with you, but Alice… ”

Luna pursed her lips. When she heard Joshua mentioning Alice, she could no longer hold back. She said, ”Mr. Lynch, have you ever suspected that Alice…”

Before Luna could finish her sentence, Joshua raised his head up suddenly. He glared at Luna closely with his deep gaze. ”Luna, I understand that you are always being targeted by Alice, that is why you have a misunderstanding with her, but Alice is my wife. I know her the most. She is not, and could not be Hailey.”

Joshua harrumphed coldly and directly stood up. ”It looks like you’re not willing to tell me.”

Luna laughed, ”Since I have already said it, but you’re not willing to believe me, then why bother asking me, Mr. Lynch?”

Joshua fiercely narrowed his eyes upon Luna’s words. The atmosphere in the office dropped a few degrees.

After a long while, Joshua harrumphed coldly, “Since you’re willing to keep Hailey’s secret, then moving onward, I won’t care about what she does to you! “

Then, Joshua directly stood up, turned, and left with a cold expression.

Sitting on the chair, Luna looked at Joshua leaving in resolution. She slowly smiled bitterly.

She was not willing to say that Alice was Hailey because she was afraid that Alice might drag her down together, immediately pointing out that she is Luna Gibson.

Luna did not want Joshua to know her identity. This time she came back to look for Joshua just so she could get pregnant with his child and she could return to cure Nigel.

Luna was not planning to get back together with Joshua. She was not even willing to let any of her children be taken by Joshua.

However, at that moment, she realized that she had been overthinking.
