Luna never expected this was what happened. She leaned on Joshua‘s back, stupefied and at a loss
for words.
“Alright.” Joshua smiled and grabbed her hand tightly. “You had a busy day, and it‘s time to rest.
Although Lucas made a mistake, it‘s nothing worth fretting over. Before he became my assistant, he
worked in the family and was quite close with Adrian. It was understandable for him to contact Adrian.
“Besides, Lucas has helped me a lot over these few years. Even if there‘s no merit, he also worked
hard. This is the second time he made a mistake.”
Joshua could endure the first and second times Lucas made mistakes. Nonetheless, if Lucas made a
mistake for the third time…
He narrowed his eyes slightly. If there was a third time, he would have to consider if he should continue
to keep Lucas by his side.
“Yeah.” Luna understood what Joshua was thinking, so she nodded and let go of him. “I‘ll go rest now.
You should sleep early too.”
She took a deep breath and turned to leave the study. When she was back in the bedroom, she went to
take her shower as usual. After that, she lay on the bed to play with her phone. Suddenly, a notification
alert came in to notify Luna there was an unread message. Luna furrowed her brow and, upon clicking
on the notification, was greeted with Malcolm‘s messages. [Luna, can you please save me after I took
care of you and your children for six years?] [I lied to Thomas about Riley… Now, he‘s sending his men
to look for me and said he wants to break my leg!)
[Can you please help me with this one last time?]
Looking at these messages, Luna squinted and blocked Malcolm‘s number. It was true that Malcolm
did look after her and her children for six years, but it was all to use her and her children to threaten
Joshua. Since this was his true color, it meant Luna did not owe him anything in return.
Furthermore… Just this year alone, she and Joshua had already given Malcolm many chances, yet he
merely responded with poor actions without an ounce of remorse. Even when he was kicked out of
Merchant City, he would still think of a way to come back to Merchant City to be against them, even
lying to Thomas for it.
Thus, Luna and her children had already returned the favor to Malcolm. They did not owe him anything.
Now that Malcolm looked for her, it was up to her to help him or not. It was not necessary for her to
help him. If she helped him, it was because of her relationship with Malcolm.
