No objections!
“Nellie, do you want some cake?“
Nellie was sitting in Adrian’s lap. She shook her head at his offer, her gaze fixated on Luna’s retreating
figure. “I’m not in a good mood. I don’t want anything…“
Oceans apart, Nigel was watching all of this unfold through a surveillance camera. Upon seeing this, he
closed his eyes. Then, after a moment, he reached out a hand to touch the image of Luna on the screen.
“Mommy, I’m sorry…“ If it were not for Nigel’s disease, his mother would not have had to return to
Banyan City and get in touch with Joshua. If it were not for Nigel, she would not have gotten hurt by that
scumbag all over again.
At the back door of the hotel.
With his grip still around her, Joshua dragged Aura all the way to the hotel’s back exit.
“Joshua! “ Aura exclaimed. Her wrist was starting to hurt, and they had left the scene rather briskly. Aura
felt like she had reached her limits.
Joshua finally let go of her. Aura leaned against the door, massaging her wrists and panting at the same
time. She gave Joshua a charming smile. “I knew you still cared about me.“
”You’re wrong. ” Joshua shot her an icy glance and gestured at someone behind him. In an instant, a few
people stepped out from the shadows, dressed as doctors, and grabbed hold of Aura. They held her
down as if they were arresting a convict and tied her hands behind her back with tape.
Aura was startled. She struggled against her bonds and yelled at Joshua, ”What are you doing, Joshua?
”
Joshua grabbed the piece of tissue that Lucas was offering him and proceeded to wipe his hands. ” Don’t
you think you’re mentally insane?”
”I’m not!”
”Of course you are. ” He curled his lips into a smirk. ” No normal person would try to get her own sister’s
children killed. All these years, I took care of you because you’re Luna’s sister. I protected you because
you were the girl Luna loved most in the world, but apparently, my kindness had been taken for granted.”
Aura thought that her schemes were perfect and that no one would be able to see through them, but she
was mistaken. In reality, she had left clues all over the place. Joshua was not stupid. He managed to put
two and two together fairly quickly.
After the ferris wheel incident, Joshua had a feeling that Aura was not as innocent as she made herself
out to be, and that her relationship with Luna was much more complicated than he thought.
Nellie’s return should have received a warm welcome from Aura, since she was her long-lost sister’s
daughter, but instead, Aura had attempted to kill her multiple times. When she failed to do so during the
ferris wheel ride, she tried to start a fire. Joshua himself had visited the ruins and even ended up in a
fight with the people there. He had suffered a stab wound in his abdomen as a result of this. How then
could he not realize who the mastermind behind all this was?
Aura widened her eyes. She struggled against her bands while protesting. “I’m still the person that Luna
cares about most in the world! She loves me! You can’t treat me like this, Joshua! If she finds out what
you did to me, she will never forgive you! “
Joshua ignored her desperate pleas and glanced at the doctors standing next to Aura. “Take her away. “
He wanted to send Aura away after the party had ended and he had called off the wedding, but he did
not expect that Luna and Neil would cause such a sudden debacle.
However, he still had no idea what to do with Aura. She was Luna’s sister, after all.
Joshua wished that Luna would return, so that she could tell him what to do.
