Luna lowered her gaze and looked at Alice on the floor.
“What great acting you have, Mrs. Lynch.“
Alice lifted her head and looked at Luna with tears in her eyes. “You’re still not willing to forgive me, is it?
“She just pushed you! It was only a painting! “
“Her husband even paid for the painting, and it’s not your money. Why can’t you forgive her?“
“Also, which ordinary woman would work with another husband so late into the night? Who are you lying to?“
“The legitimate wife was merely teaching the mistress a lesson. Now that the wife is begging for forgiveness, the mistress refused to forgive her?
What kind of world is this?“
“Before Mrs. Lynch came back to the country, didn’t they announce their relationship? I’m sure they hooked up before then.“
Alice turned to look at the crowd who was bad- mouthing Joshua with teary eyes. “Don’t you dare talk nonsense. My husband treats me well. I know clearly how much he loves me. He just got carried away for a moment.“
Standing in the same spot, Luna looked at the scene playing out and laughed.
Alice was not there to apologize so early in the morning; she came to cause more trouble.
“Mrs. Lynch, if you like acting so much, you can stay and continue acting. I won’t play along.“
Luna was about to pass through the crowd and leave, but everyone blocked her way.
“The mistress has a guilty conscience! She’s trying to run away! “
“Don’t let her leave! “
“She can leave, but only if she forgives Mrs. Lynch! “
The crowd who did not understand the situation said unreasonable things to Luna.
She could not push past through the crowd.
Something was not right. These people must have been…placed here by Alice.
Subconsciously, Luna turned to look at Alice.
Alice was still on her knees, but there was a hint of malice in her smile. “Luna, forgive me, please.“
Luna narrowed her eyes. Obviously, if she did not forgive Alice, she would not be able to walk out from the crowd.
“Lastly,“ Luna sneered, “you said that Joshua hasn’t been back home for many nights. What does that have to do with me? Don’t you dare pin it on me and try to get me to admit it!“
Then, Luna left under the protection of Zach and Yuri. They went up the elevator coolly.
Everyone in the lobby turned quiet.
They were looking at Alice on the floor and dared say nothing.
Two men helped Alice up to her feet. “Why did you not stop them?” she fumed.
The men said rather guiltily, “We could still take the woman, but those bodyguards…”
Zach and Yuri were tall and burly. The men were no match for them.
“Bunch of useless trash!” Alice coldly scolded just when Zach and Yuri led the group of bodyguards walking past her.
She stopped them. “As the bodyguards of the Lynch group, why did you listen to a mere designer, but not me, the president’s wife?”
Zach and Yuri looked at each other and smiled. “ We’ll only listen to our boss.”
“Who’s your boss? Joshua Lynch?” “Neil Gibson.”
