Alice’s voice sounded gentle and light, yet it seemed to have petrified Celeste.
Celeste shuddered and said with a rather trembling voice, “Mrs. Lynch, w—what are you saying?“
Alice’s response was laced with vague ridicule, “Mrs. Allen, don’t you understand? Let me tell you once
more, then: I ‘ll never, and had never, once gossiped about Luna with you. Even if I hate Luna, I won’t
spread such stupid rumors. There. I’ve said it.“
Alice, on the other end of the call, leaned back on the chair. She calmly glanced at Jason, who was
looking at the address outside the door, and chuckled.
“Also, my husband and I are in a very good relationship. Why are you trying to disgrace me in front of my
husband? Are you just jealous?“
Alice did not even care what reaction Celeste had after that as she immediately hung up the phone.
Hearing the disconnecting beep from the phone, Celeste’s legs felt like jelly. Right before she slumped to
the ground, Samson immediately held onto her.
“Mrs. Allen, what are you doing? Are you really planning on kneeling to our Director Luna?“
Celeste closed her eyes. She never once suspected the words that Alice told her because, firstly, Alice
and Luna have known each other for many years. Second, Alice had also mentioned Joshua among the
men Luna has slept with. Celeste felt that Alice had no reason to cuckold herself.
However…
Alice’s innocent and indifferent tone on the phone a moment ago was like a baseball bat that smashed
against her head. Celeste felt as if she was struck by lightning. She could not even move, let alone think.
How could that happen…?
Even if those were lies, they came from Alice! How did it become her spreading the rumors instead?
“Mrs. Allen, what else do you have to say for yourself?“
Joshua looked at Celeste’s face, his gaze cold as he did. “You were the one that came up with this and
smeared Luna’s character. You even pushed all the blame on my wife. It looks like Luna was right. It’s
not that you are brainless, Mrs. Allen. You just used them in all the wrong places.“
Celeste opened her mouth, wanting to retort but unable to find her words.
“Since Mrs. Lynch has already said so, are you still trying to deny that you were the one that spread the
rumors?“
Samson, who was supporting Celeste, released his grip on her.
Thud!
Celeste immediately knelt on the ground, coincidentally right in front of Luna.
Seeing Celeste kneeling, Irene, by the side, bit her lips. She hesitated for a while. In the end, she also
knelt to the ground with a thud.
Luna’s influence and powers were indeed huge! Even the great artist Theo Allen’s mother already knelt
in front of Luna. Irene herself was just a mere lowly assistant…
“Mom! “
Theo ran into Luna’s office, panting. He immediately noticed Celeste kneeling in front of Luna, unable to
get up.
He furrowed his brows and directly went to help Celeste up. “You’re already so old. Why are you making
things difficult for yourself?“
Celeste was trembling, and not because of guilt, but of rage!
At that moment, she finally realized why Alice would be so passionate with her. It was not because they
clicked instantly, nor that she also thought that a person like Luna was not a worthy match for Theo!
Alice was only using her as a tool to go up against Luna!
When push came to shove, Alice pushed all the blame on her and burned the bridge between them. By
then, everything and every rumor came from Celeste alone—it had nothing to do with Alice!
The more Celeste thought of it, the angrier she became.
In the end, Celeste turned to look at Joshua. “Mr. Lynch, you have indeed married a great person! I
wouldn’t know whether you and Luna have a relationship or not, but your wife’s tactics are indeed
brilliant! ”
Upon hearing Celeste talking about Alice, Joshua slightly narrowed his eyes. ”What? Just because you
failed to besmirch my wife, you’re trying to drive a wedge between us now?”
