Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 354

Joshua shifted his gaze to Luna. “The one you should apologize to is her.“

The butler paused, then approached Luna hesitantly.

“I don’t want your apology. “ Luna raised her head proudly as her cold eyes swept across the butler’s old and wizened face. “You dare say the rumors you spread about me, the way you discredited me, insulted me, all of these were done out of your own volition?“
