Joshua laughed, “Back then, to marry me, she could employ such tricks, and now, she could also employ
other tricks, to deal with Luna.“
With his left hand, he elegantly unfastened the buttons of his shirt. The bandages on his right arm made
the old lady cry out in dismay, “Joshua, what, what happened?“
“It was Hailey’s fault.“ He raised his eyes in cold detachment and glanced at Adrian, “Everything that
Luna said, is evidence of her crimes that I managed to find. Initially, I thought, since she’s already dead,
then these pieces of evidence should not be exposed. But if father, you insist that she is a good girl and
Luna was the one who framed her… I don’t mind exposing to the world the dirty deeds of a dead
woman…“
Adrian’s complexion was pale, with a hint of grey. Unconsciously, he took a step backward, standing
shakily as if he was about to fall at any minute. “ That’s impossible… Hailey is a nice girl…“
“Adrian! “ Alice rushed forward and hurriedly steadied him. She held onto him, then turned and glanced
at Joshua coldly. “Joshua, she’s already
dead, why do you have to destroy the image your father has of her? How can you hit your own father
with such a blow?“
Then, she bit her lip harshly. “Hailey was just in love with you, she likes you, so she used a few tricks to
try and marry you, isn’t that normal? No matter how
wrong her actions were, you don’t need to hate someone who loves you, right?“
Joshua frowned slightly. A moment later, he laughed lightly, “Alice, actually I always wanted to ask you.
You’re so close to Hailey now… Did you forget what Hailey did to you when we just got married?“
With one sentence, Alice’s complexion turned pale as a ghost.
Back then, when Joshua and Luna Gibson just got married…
She once drove a car and knocked into Luna on purpose.
Back then, Luna Gibson and Joshua just got married. While Luna was waiting for Joshua at the entrance
to the hotel, Hailey seized the opportunity when there was a large amount of traffic at the intersection
and the roads were in a mess and drove her car into the direction where Luna was standing.
But back then, Luna reacted quickly and rolled away in time.
Later on, this incident was suppressed, firstly because the traffic situation on the day of the accident was
indeed in a mess, and secondly because she did not actually harm Luna.
But she was warned by Joshua, never to step foot in Banyan City again.
Back then when she did that, it was only because she was angry that Luna Gibson could marry Joshua,
and claim everything that she wanted as her own.
All those years ago, she could not have guessed that later on Luna Gibson would be involved in an
accident and go missing, nor could she have guessed that one day, she would receive plastic surgery to
wear the face of the woman she hated, just to obtain Joshua’s love.
At this thought, she bit her lip. “Of course I remember. But that night, the traffic was a mess,
and Hailey only spun the steering wheel because she was trying to avoid an oncoming car. I’m no longer
fussing about what happened so many years ago, so you don’t have to mention it too.“
With that, Alice was afraid Joshua would continue talking about the incident from all those years ago, so
she hurriedly helped Adrian up the stairs, his entire body trembling fervently. “Adrian, let’s find you a
room. You shouldn’t get angry, as long as to you, Hailey is a nice girl, then I’m sure she’s definitely a nice
girl! “
With that, she helped him climb up the stairs.
Looking at their retreating backs, Granny Lynch frowned slightly, then turned and looked at Joshua i n
confusion. “Your wife… when did she grow so close to your father? Didn’t they used to not interact with
each other at all?“
“I have no idea.“ Joshua looked at them from behind, his gaze darkening slightly.
Just like what Granny Lynch said, the two of them never interacted at all. It could even be said that today
was only their second meeting.
Their meeting was at her and Joshua’s wedding all those years ago.
Now, Alice no longer afforded anyone the same kindness and understanding that she used to have,
except Hailey whom she was particularly tolerant of.
Not only that, she was even very close to her, but treating her old friend, Gwen, like a stranger.
And now, she seemed so close to Adrian, who she had just met for the second time today.
. . In the six years that she was missing, what actually happened to her?
