Luna laughed, “With your relationship with Mr. Lynch, do you still need to use such a way for him to owe you one?“

Jude gracefully placed the teacup down. He flatly glanced at Luna. “What I’m saying is the truth. It’s the truth.“

Then, Jude yawned and looked at Theo. “You invited me over just so your girlfriend can interrogate me? “

Theo laughed. Jude called Luna his girlfriend. He was extremely pleased about that.

“Mr. Smith, don’t mind her. Luna is just being curious.“

“There is nothing to be curious about.“

Jude elegantly lifted his gaze and looked at Luna. “I might expand into the jewelry business in the future. There is nothing wrong in making an acquaintance with you, Ms. Luna.“

Jude placed his business card in front of Luna. “If you have plans of changing companies, contact me. Although Joshua and I are friends, things like poaching his staff should still be done.“

Then, Jude gracefully adjusted the tie on his neck, turned around, and left.

Luna remained seated on the chair. Looking at Jude’s business card with his contact on it, her gaze was complicated.

All of the reasons that Jude gave could not convince her. In her eyes, all those reasons were only just Jude finding excuses to do things on behalf of Joshua.

If it were not for Joshua, Luna did not believe that Jude would help her so wholeheartedly.

Jude’s shoddy reasons were only a way of trying to redeem Joshua’s pride.

After all, Joshua has already said that besides work, he would not meddle in any of her affairs in the future.

However…

Luna lowered her gaze. Even if Joshua has already said those things, why would he still secretly help her using such cumbersome methods?

Could it just be because she was the best jewelry designer in his company?

That was not too realistic.

After all, although she was brilliant and great in jewelry design, Joshua has only stepped into the jewelry industry not long ago.

The Lynch Group was involved in many industries. They did not have to go into jewelry, nor did they really have to hire her.

However…

If Joshua helped her was not because of work, then what was it for?

Luna thought of a possibility, then, she shook her head.

Forget about it.

How could Joshua like her? Luna, in Joshua’s eyes, was only a crush who was a good match with him in bed.

He still cared for Alice the most, right?

“Luna?“

Suddenly, Theo’s voice pulled her back to reality.

She lifted her head and noticed Theo looking at her with concerns.

Luna furrowed her brows. “What is it?“

“You…“ Theo looked at her hand. “You put your hand into the teacup.“

Luna was surprised. She immediately took her hand out and wiped it with a tissue.

“Luckily the tea is warm. If it was boiling hot, you would have burned your hand.“

Theo sighed, “What are you thinking about, if you’re in such a daze?“

Luna lowered her head. “Nothing much.“

“My performance went quite well.“

Coming out from Bamboo Palace, Jude directly got in the black Maseratee by the entrance.

“It looked like she accepted my reasons.“

In the back seat, Joshua’s long slender fingers were flipping through the documents on his lap. “You better hope so.“

“But, Luna and Theo are quite a match. They’re pretty artsy-fartsy. When I entered, I heard them discussing what the skull meant as an element.”

Joshua, who was flipping through his documents, stopped his actions.

He lifted his gaze and looked at Jude. “So what did the skull element represent?”

Jude did not expect that Joshua would be interested in this topic.

He responded and tried to think back.

“Theo said that the skull as an element represented a dispirited object.“

“Luna said…“ Jude thought for a while before saying, “The skull represented evil and coldness, also something that should have died long ago yet it still existed. That’s what she said.“

Joshua gripped the documents so tightly his knuckles started to turn white.

That design sketch that he took from Luna’s office was still in his study.

He thought that Luna would design something meaningful for him, modeling his hand after her sketches.

However, he did not expect that this was the meaning behind it. Evil and cold.

Something that should have long died, yet still existed.

Turns out, this was how Luna viewed him. He even still tried to find ways to help her and Theo in this matter.

Joshua narrowed his eyes. He closed his documents coldly. “Lucas, go.“

Jude raised his eyebrows. “We’re leaving just like that?“

“If not? “ Joshua coldly swept Jude a gaze. “What? Should we go up and have a cup or two with them?“

Jude furrowed his brows. Why did he feel that Joshua was suddenly unhappy? He did not say anything much to him that made him unhappy, right?

After returning home from the Bamboo Palace, Luna had a video call with all three of her children. She was in a good mood.

Neil and Nellie were in the dorm of their summer camp. They were eating while chatting with her, telling her about the new friends they made in the summer camp.

Nigel was in the bed in the hospital. He was typing away on the keyboard while listening to them chat. It was quiet and peaceful.

There was a time difference, after all, Luna was not afraid that she would affect her children’s bedtime, so she kept smiling and chatting with them.

When it was lo at night, the three of them hung up at the same time so that she could rest properly.

Luna was helpless, she could only hang up and go back to her room.

She flipped around in bed, unable to sleep. She switched on her phone and looked at the news.

It was all about Irene and Yvonne that day. After the press conference ended that morning, Irene immediately packed up her belongings and returned to her hometown. She said that the big city life did not suit her.

Yvonne and the management company behind her were involved in multiple crimes. They were prosecuted.

Over at Sea City, the remaining men of the Walter family were almost all brought down.

Among all the piles of news, there was a small headline.

(Joshua Lynch’s Father-In-Law Joseph Gibson Sentenced to Five Years in Prison for Assault.]

Luna tapped the news and looked at the photo. Joseph in the photo has aged much more and looked much more haggard, yet Luna had no emotions in her heart.

This middle -aged man was once her father whom she respected the most.

However, at that moment, seeing him being sentenced to jail, she has no whatsoever reaction anymore.

It was as if he was just a stranger.

In fact, she has already become strangers with the Gibson family. There had been too many disappointments.

At the end of the article, was an interview with Natasha and Alice.

In the video, Natasha was crying while Alice was much calmer compared to her.

It was only that…

At the end of the video, the reporters asked Alice a juicy question, “Mrs. Lynch. You and your husband already have two cute children. Have you ever thought of having another one?”

Alice smiled gently. “Yes, we have thought about it, but Joshua has been too busy recently. When he is less busy, we will consider it.”

Later on, the reporters asked a few more questions regarding Joshua. Alice calmly and gently replied to them all. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and affection.

Luna’s heart was long numb to this, but it still ached a little.

Irene has gone back to her hometown. Yvonne has gone to prison.

Alice, the main culprit, still could safely express her love in front of the camera.

Luna suddenly understood why Joshua got Jude to help her and Theo.

Perhaps, the person Joshua most wanted to help and protect…

Was Alice.

After the incident with Irene, Luna had no longer seen Joshua.

As the project was coming to an end, she got busier. Luna no longer had the time to think of him.

Finally, the project was completed on time.

Luna’s designs were sold out once they went on the market.

“As expected from Moon the great designer, you’re better than the rest! “

Sitting on the sofa, Anne was eating fruits while listening to the news. She turned to look at Luna who was packing up.

“How many days of leave did Joshua give you?“

Luna continued packing. “This morning, Lucas sent me a message. Half a month.“

Anne furrowed her brows. “You still haven’t seen Joshua?“

Upon mentioning that, Luna could not help but furrow her brows and sigh, “Yes.“

After Irene’s press conference, Joshua had been deliberately avoiding her.

No matter whether Luna went to his office or in a meeting, she would not see him anywhere.

She has tried to wait for him in his office or downstairs but to no avail.

At that thought, a deep sense of helplessness overwhelmed Luna.

Even if they had been apart for more than six years, Joshua was still the same as back then.

As long as he wanted or if he was willing to do it, even if Luna used all her might, she would not be able to see him at all.

Luna even asked Lucas how on earth did she offend Joshua. Lucas stuttered and could not give an answer either.
