Joshua murmured a response before he turned and walked into the study.
Alice remained motionless as she watched him enter the study and closed the door after him. She bit
down on her lip.
She had been with him for quite some time, yet he still refused to go to bed with her. Even if he had
mistaken Luna for her last night, he still did not want to go to bed with Alice. What was wrong with him?
Was his heart made of stone?
She had done so much for him, yet he still treated her like a stranger!
It was most likely because of Luna! Luna was the only thing that stood in their way!
The only solution to that was to get rid of Luna.
Meanwhile, in the study, Joshua sat down, placed the cameras he had in his hand on the desk, and said
to Lucas, “Check the signal source for these cameras and find out if any footage was taken. If there is,
trace the location of the receiver.“
“Yes. “ Lucas nodded and tucked the cameras away. “ Sir, where did you find these?“
Joshua furrowed his brows and answered in a disgruntled tone, “How dare you even ask me this? Why
didn’t you check Luna’s room beforehand?“
Lucas froze in shock. ”What do you mean? Were these cameras inside Luna’s room?”
Joshua glanced at him. ”Yes.”
Lucas seemed baffled. ”That… That’s impossible ! I did a thorough check of Ms. Luna’s room before
letting her stay there. Every time you went on a business trip with any of the company’s employees, I’ d
check every single room beforehand—I ‘ve never missed out on anyone. You should know by now that
I’m not a sloppy worker ! ”
Lucas lowered his gaze to look at the cameras. ”I can’t possibly miss on these. I already checked
yesterday, and there was nothing.”
Joshua stiffened at his explanation. ”When did you check?”
”I checked the rooms yesterday when you and Ms. Luna were at the Walters’ place. Do you…want to
check the surveillance cameras in the hallway?”
Joshua closed his eyes. ”There’s no point. Do you truly believe the hotel owner when he said he wasn’t
involved in this? Since they’re behind this, do you think they’ll let us find anything through the
surveillance tapes? Why not think back about what happened yesterday? Did you come across anyone
or anything suspicious?”
Lucas remained silent for a moment, deep in thought. After a while, he pursed his lips. ”Yesterday. I
checked Ms. Luna’s room before checking yours.
When I came out of your room, I saw Mrs. Lynch standing in front of Ms. Luna’s room, clutching the door
knob. I didn’t know if she wanted to go in or if she just came out. When she saw me, she told me she
thought Ms. Luna’s room was yours…“
Joshua frowned. “Are you saying Alice was the one who planted the cameras?“
“No, no.“ Lucas immediately shook his head. “I just thought that was strange, that’s all. Ms. Luna’s room
is just an ordinary one, and yours is a presidential suite. It’s clearly written on the sign. You only ever stay
in presidential suites whenever you go on business trips. The butler told me that before Mrs. Lynch left,
she’d always book the hotels for you herself. By that logic, she wouldn’t be confused about which room
you’re staying in…“
Joshua rubbed his eyebrows. “Don’t you think that Alice is different now? She doesn’t seem to remember
a lot of things from the past.“
When she heard Gwen and Ben arguing out in the hallway, she did not seem concerned at all. In fact,
she seemed reluctant to get involved. Even though she went out into the hallway in the end, she did not
try to console them and instead got mad at them for making a scene.
Even if she experienced changes in personality due to the car accident, it would not explain how she
treated her old friends from high school.
