The atmosphere around them turned cold, too.
Alice lifted her eyes and looked at Joshua seriously. “ Joshua, I did all this because of you.“
“Because of me?“
Joshua sneered. “You deliberately pushed Luna and ruined Master Allen’s work because of me? Because of me, you found a PR company to put the video of that day on the internet? Also, because of me, you went to my office and knelt in front of Luna, giving a false impression that Luna seduced me and we had an affair?“
Joshua took a sip of coffee and placed the cup down heavily. The sound of the ceramic mug that clanked against the marble table reverberated in Alice’s heart.
She sniffled and tried her best to force out some tears. “Joshua, I know what I did wasn’t right, but don’t all women of upper-class society do that to protect the integrity and harmony of their family?“
Joshua felt suffocated.
The Luna Gibson six years ago was never like that!
Alice, on the other hand, kept emphasizing the greatness of the family’s status when educating the children.
Once she made a mistake, she spouted things like women of the upper class.
Joshua tugged on his sleeve in annoyance. “It looks like you truly have changed during these six years.“ He never liked a woman who constantly emphasized their status.
Alice bit her lip.
She reached out and grabbed Joshua’s hand. “Joshua, please forgive me. I genuinely don’t have a sense of security.“
Joshua was so infuriated that he chuckled.
“I waited for you for six years, and I’ve looked for you for six years. I thought you’d understand how I feel, yet now you’re telling me that you have no sense of security?“
Joshua glared at her. “Will you only feel that sense of security when I take you to the office and never let you leave, twenty-four-seven?“
At that moment, Joshua’s phone rang.
He did not even look at it and immediately rejected the call.
“Perhaps it’s my problem.“ He rubbed the center of his brows. “We need time apart to cool down.“
Alice was stunned. “Cool down?“
