Celeste’s expression instantly contorted uglily upon Luna’s words.
She glared at Luna fiercely. “What do you mean by this? Are you trying to show off your wealth to me?
Isn’t my son the one who gives you your money?“
Luna sneered. “Mrs. Allen, I was wrong in calling you a crazy old hag. I was wrong. I’m sorry.“
Celeste furrowed her brows. Why did Luna suddenly change her attitude and apologized to her?
She harrumphed coldly. “Good that you know that, you…“
“I really shouldn’t have called you that, “ Luna coldly interrupted Celeste before she could finish. “In my
eyes, crazy old hags would still have a small brain. You, on the other hand, don’t even have one.“
Celeste’s eyes widened. She raised her voice a few octaves. “What do you mean by that?“
“What do I mean?“ Luna sneered. She picked up the check that Celeste gave her and elegantly tore it up
into pieces. “In your opinion, a famous artist, whose works cost at least a few million dollars, is only worth
five million dollars? A mother who casually puts a price tag on her son, isn’t she foolish? Also…“
Luna took out a pile of honorary certificates from the top of her shelf and placed it on her desk.
“These are the honors I’ve earned over the years abroad. Every set of jewelry I design could sell for
more than ten million dollars on the international market, yet you offered me five million dollars to leave
Theo. Aren’t you just humiliating yourself?“
Luna left all her honorary certificates abroad when she returned to her country. However, Neil secretly
couriered her certificates back.
Initially, she was still worried that the certificates would expose her identity. She did not expect that it
would be able to help her at a time like this.
Luna’s office was in pin-drop silence.
Celeste’s face was even paler than the wall behind her. She gritted her teeth harshly.
“Luna! You…You b*tch! “
Before Celeste could finish her sentence, Irene rushed in with a broom and aimed at Luna.
Just when the broom was about to hit Luna’s face, a hand grabbed Irene’s wrist and brutally flung her
backward, causing her to slam against the corner.
Thud! Irene hit the wall brutally.
Gasp!
Irene was in so much pain that she gritted her teeth. She raised her head and glared fiercely at the
person that flung her to the corner. “I won’t let you go…“
She stopped before she could finish because the person standing in front of her was no one else but
Joshua, whom she saw the night before!
At that moment, Joshua was in black, his tall figure towering over her coldly.
He laughed a little. “You won’t ‘let me go’?”
Then, he glanced at the men that Lucas and his men had pinned down. “You won’t let me go like them,
too?”
Irene paused a little. She subconsciously turned back to look. She realized that the people she brought
along were all pinned on the ground by Lucas and his men!
Irene almost saw black!
She raised her head and looked at Joshua’s face. “Mr. Lynch, you’re such an influential figure. Why must
you protect Luna, that b*tch?”
Joshua calmly laughed. “You have no influence nor power. Where did you find the courage to go up
against the Lynch Group?”
Joshua calmly walked over to the group of people and opened the rolled-up flag.
“Asking Luna to kneel and apologize?” He lowered his head and read the writings on the flag. Then, he
chuckled a little and looked at Irene. “Since you insist on your demands, I’ll allow you… “…to kneel and
apologize to Luna.”
