The more Marianne thought about this, the more confident she was about her guess.
This was a matter that would be easily settled with money. However, not only did Luna refuse to pay the
compensation, but she also even insisted on letting Mr. Lynch settle this dispute instead.
The only plausible explanation was that she wanted to insult Ms. Blake and drive a wedge between her
and Mr. Lynch!
As soon as she arrived at this conclusion, Marianne shot Luna a murderous glare, then looked at
Joshua. “Mr. Lynch, you should fire this woman! She’s no use to you at all, and if you continue to let her
stay at your company, she’ll find other ways to get rid of Ms. Blake! “
“What’s this? Just now, you wanted to fire my assistants, and now you want to fire me as well?“ Luna
curled her lips into a smirk, then raised her eyebrows and glanced at Joshua. “What do you think, Mr.
Lynch?“
Joshua furrowed his brows slightly—he never expected things to turn out like this. Initially, he thought
Mrs. Collins had gotten into a dispute with a stranger, but to his surprise, it was Luna.
He also never thought Luna would be this stubborn and unforgiving, but he knew all too well why Luna
acted like this.
It was not because of Marianne’s outrageous demands, but…because of Fiona.
Joshua let out a sigh when he thought of this. Since when did Luna become such a jealous and
unaccommodating person? Did she not know what the consequences of hurting Fiona were? Did she not
know Fiona was going to save Nigel?
“Luna.“ Joshua shot her a somewhat helpless glance and said, “Can’t you let go of this?“
“I can’t.“ Luna stood up. “When Fiona insisted my assistants were plotting something against her and
deliberately poured coffee on her, why didn’t you choose to let it go for my sake? How dare you ask me
to let this go, now that Fiona’s servant is insulting me right to my face and even attempted to scam my
assistants by making him pay fifty thousand dollars for a five-hundred-dollar dress?“ She sneered,
looked directly at Joshua, and added icily, “Do you think I value your ego? Well, news flash: I don’t.“
The entire hallway fell into silence.
Shannon, Zayne, and even Marianne stared at Luna in shock. None of them would have guessed, not in
a million years, that she would say something like this to Joshua.
She did not even bother sugarcoating her words at all.
Joshua’s expression darkened. “Luna! “
“What’s wrong? You can’t handle the truth, Mr. Lynch? You killed two of my children, refused to pay for
the remaining two children’s medical fees, and found a new girlfriend while my son is gravely ill…
“Do you think I care about someone like you? Besides, you even allowed your new girlfriend and her
servant to harass my assistants continuously. Joshua Lynch, who do you think you are?“
What right did he have to hurt her like this and ask her to give in for Fiona’s sake?
Luna refused to give in at all. She wanted to find out how far Joshua was willing to go for Fiona’s sake.
Joshua stared at her, his gaze as cold and icy as the Arctic snow. “Is this the attitude you use to talk to
me?“
He lunged and gripped Luna’s throat, slamming her up against the wall. White-hot fury was etched in his
dark eyes. “Don’t forget the financial situation you’re in right now! Do you think I won’t fire you and put
you on a blacklist so that no company in Banyan City will hire you?“
The coldness in Joshua’s eyes chilled Luna right down to her bones. She continued to stare at him while,
at the same time, feeling as though someone had put her heart in a freezing igloo.
She bit down on her lip. “You wouldn’t. Nigel and Nellie— “
“I don’t care about them! “ Joshua was so furious at this point that he lost control of all rationality. “I ‘ve
already refused to pay their medical bills. Don’t you know what that means? What do their lives have
anything to do with me?
“I didn’t know about their births, and I wasn’t involved in their upbringing either. Now that they’re sick,
why do I have to pay for their medical bills? Why do I have to pay for two little pipsqueaks that I’ve barely
even known for six months, hmm?”
Luna felt as though someone had dropped her heart from mid-air into freezing cold water.
