No matter how much she wanted to help Luna, Bonnie still had Craig Group as well as its employees to
think about.
She could not afford to provoke Joshua even further.
After coming out of the hotel, Luna let out a sigh and headed to the roadside to hail a taxi.
However, she seemed down on her luck that night because not a single taxi passed even after waiting
for almost ten minutes.
Finally, a black BMV pulled up in front of her. The passenger side window rolled down, revealing Jude’s
smiling face. “Need a ride?“
Luna glanced at the time. It was already past 9 p.m., and if she did not get home quickly, Nigel and Nellie
would have waited past their bedtime for her.
She hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and got into the backseat.
“What an exciting night, “ lamented Jude, crossing his arms in front of his chest. “The richest man in
Banyan City almost bankrupted Craig Group, the third wealthiest company, in a matter of ten minutes. If
it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have had the pleasure of witnessing such an extraordinary event.“
Luna forced out a smile, glancing at Jude through the rearview mirror as she replied, “If you feel like
experiencing that, you should lend me money right now.“
“No, no.“ Jude immediately waved his hand in dismissal. “I wouldn’t want to become Joshua’s target—
that’d be terrifying.“
He then stared up ahead and said, “Joshua was willing to attack the Craigs and force them to the brink of
bankruptcy tonight. This proves that he won’t let you leave him, no matter what.“
With that, he shot Luna an earnest glance and added, “Please don’t ever try to run away again, for both
you and your friends’ sake.“
Luna sneered when she heard this. “Run away? What atrocious crime did I commit to deserve a
punishment like this? Why do I have to stay by Joshua’s side and watch live happily ever after with Ms.
Blake?“
Jude was so shocked by her words that he choked on his own saliva. Then, finally, he let out a small
cough and tried to explain, “The reason why Joshua wanted you to stay is not that he wants you to watch
him and Fiona live happily ever after… Besides, the relationship he has with Fiona isn’t at all what you
think it is…“
Fiona was the only person in this world who was a perfect match with Nigel, bone marrow-wise. If it were
not for this, Joshua would not have treated Fiona so kindly and stayed by her side.
Alas, Jude could not tell Luna this. He could only let out a sigh and give her a vague answer, “You’ll
understand in the future.“
“What about now?“
“As for now…“ Jude let out another sigh. “You’d better not upset Fiona. Fiona means the world to Joshua
as of you. No one, not even you, can hurt her or upset her.“
Because of Fiona’s condition, any psychological stress she encountered would also affect her physical
health. If anything bad happened to her, the doctors would not be able to perform the bone marrow
transplant.
Therefore, Fiona was the most important thing in the world to Joshua at that moment, or at least until the
bone marrow transplant could be done.
“I know.“ Luna tilted her head away to look at the scenery outside. A contemptuous smirk played on her
lips as she commented, “It’s barely been three days since Joshua met her, right? It’s such a short time,
yet he already treats her like the most valuable thing in the world. All I did tonight was get into a verbal
disagreement with her outside the hall, but he’s already trying to keep me here against my will so she
can continue to bully me…“
She turned around and gazed coldly at Jude. “Is this the Joshua Lynch that you told me about? The one
who, as you claimed, loved me more than anything in the world?“
