The entire office fell silent at Theo’s words. Celeste looked at Theo in shock. “Theo, you…“
Joshua frowned in displeasure, rather displeased at Theo’s persistence. He squinted his eyes.
“Is Luna that important to you?“ Theo puffed his chest. “Yes.“
“More important than your own mother that brought you up?“
Theo laughed. “Mr. Lynch, you don’t seem to know my family well. My parents have always been abroad
trading, and I grew up with my grandparents. My skills for art were also cultivated by them. As for my
parents…“
Theo swept Celeste a glance. “They’ve never truly cared for me. If they had cared for me, they wouldn’t
have forbidden me from being together with Luna, just because of other people’s gossip. They wouldn’t
have spread rumors about Luna being with other men when they clearly knew that Luna’s my girlfriend.“
Celeste’s face was extremely pale. She always thought that as long as she showed how cheap and dirty
Luna was, Theo would come around. He would know that he had made a mistake and break up with
Luna.
She never would have thought that Theo’s feelings for Luna were so deep that he would be willing to cut
off ties with his parents. “Theo, forget about it.“
Luna furrowed her brows. In the end, she still could not help but open her mouth and say, “It’s just a
small misunderstanding. There’s no need to cut ties with your parents.“
She lowered her gaze and looked at the time. “This is still the office, and it’s still working hours. Why
don’t you take Mrs. Allen back for now? We can talk about it later.“
Luna and Theo were only faking it being together. She could not let Theo cut ties with his parents just
because of his fake girlfriend.
Theo furrowed his brows. He wanted to say something else, but Celeste immediately grabbed his wrist.
“Yes, listen to Luna…Lulu! “ Celeste immediately kept her condescending expression. She smiled and
looked at Luna. “You’re right, Lulu. It’s just a misunderstanding!“
Celeste dragged Theo and headed for the exit. “Don’t disturb her from working. We have all the time in
the world to talk in the future! “
Theo furrowed his brows and turned back to look at Luna once more.
Luna smiled and nodded at him, signaling for him to follow Celeste.
Upon her approval, only then did Theo turn around and left with Celeste. Once mother and son left, the
office resumed its peacefulness.
“How about you?“
After a long while, Samson swept a cold glance at Irene. “Did you start to spread rumors after listening to
what Mrs. Allen said? Now that Mrs. Allen said that it was just a misunderstanding, why are you still not
apologizing?“
Irene bit her lips. “Sure, I can apologize.“
Then, she pointed at the bruises on her face. “Even if I was wrong in spreading the rumors, is it alright for
Luna to get people to beat me up?“
Luna smiled. She looked at Irene, who clearly had put on more make -up to emphasize the bruises on
her face and made them look more serious. “What proof do you have that it was me who sent those
men?“
“Who else but you! “ Irene glared at Luna angrily. “ Those men yesterday said that it was you who sent
them! This morning, the person that chatted with me also told me that it was you! There are so many
facts right in front of you. Are you still trying to deny it?“
