Alice’s body instantly stiffened.
She bit her lips, turned around, and sat next to Joshua. She held his arm. “Joshua, what are you talking
about? I don’t understand.“
“You don’t understand?“ Joshua smiled. He directly took out an old-looking handphone from his pocket
and slammed it in front of Alice.
“Now, do you understand?“
Alice pursed her lips. She turned to have a look, her face was instantly pale.
The handphone…
Was the same one which she threw into the lake previously.
However…
Joshua saw her throwing the phone into the lake that day. She was worried that Joshua might overthink
it and fished the phone up. That night, in the middle of the night, she got people to fish it up first.
She clearly remembered that she had already gotten her men to fish the phone up. Later on, she melted
the phone with acid before throwing it at a trash bin outside.
How could that…
Alice’s mind spun crazily quickly. She laughed. “Joshua, this phone is exactly the same as the one I
threw the other day. Did you buy a new one for me, seeing that I threw the other one away?“
Then, she buried her head in his arms and rubbed against him. “How thoughtful of you, Joshua.“
“Of course, I’m considerate.“ Joshua sneered, “I got Lucas to find the exact same phone, fished it out,
and threw it back in the lake.“
Upon Joshua’s words, Alice’s face has lost all of its colors.
She felt her blood freeze.
Joshua calmly pried her hands off him. He picked the phone and switched it on.
“It took quite some time to fix this.“
Then, the phone was switched on with a sound.
The chat records on the phone were recovered. The one who contacted Irene with the number of an
‘Alice ‘. In the chat between them, she abetted Irene, and instructed her how to get to where the Walter
family was…
Each chat was tapped open by Joshua in front of Alice.
The color on Alice’s face lost bit by bit with Joshua’s every tap.
After a long while, when Joshua had finally shown all the chat records, Alice was almost completely
slumped on the sofa.
How could this have happened… Her plan was flawless… how…
“Alice.“
Joshua placed the phone down and looked at her coldly. “Do you think that your schemes and actions
will go unnoticed?“
Alice gripped the armrest of the sofa tightly. She said nothing.
“I treated you as the person closest to me, yet you treat me like a fool.“
Joshua narrowed his eyes. His voice was as frigid as his gaze.
“We have been husband and wife for many years. You still understand me very well. You know the
woman I hate the most is Hailey Walter.“
Alice gripped the sofa with both hands so tightly her knuckles turned white.
She bit her lips hard. Her heart hurt so much as if it were stabbed by someone with a knife.
Joshua changed into a more comfortable position on the sofa and sneered.
“Ever since the Walter family started moving about in Banyan City, Jude noticed it. Whether it was him or
me, we all were willing to believe that it was Hailey who was behind all this. I even suspected a little
whether Luna was Hailey herself. However, I never had thought that the main culprit behind this was
you.“
Joshua turned to and looked at Alice’s miserably pale face. “The only reason I was waiting for the Irene
matter to end before looking for you is to give you a chance to turn a new leaf.”
Joshua has even thought that if Alice were to stop Mr. Walter and his daughter from moving on with the
plan before the press conference, he could even treat it as if nothing has happened.
He would still continue to tolerate her and put up with her dirty tricks.
After all, he owed her too much, leaving her out in exile for six years.
Joshua’s wariness of Alice and his sense of insecurities were normal.
However…
