Joseph looked at Luna agitatedly. “In that case, Ms. Luna, will you let me go?“
“Sure, “ Luna closed her eyes. “but I need you to answer two questions.“
“First.“ Luna took a deep breath and looked at the white-haired middle-aged man sitting opposite her closely.
“Before Aura left for overseas, she told me something. She said that she wasn’t Natasha’s child. She was a child you had with another woman. You sent the daughter you had with Natasha to the orphanage and brought Aura back instead. Is this true?“
The room was instantly in dead silence.
Joseph lifted his head and looked at Luna in shock. He opened and closed his mouth many times, but
could not form his words.
After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, “Why did she tell you this?“
Luna closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. “You only need to answer whether this is true or not. If I were to tell this to Alice, based on her character and how kind she is, do you think she’ll want to rescue you after knowing that you abandoned her own younger sister?“
Joseph’s face lost all of its colors. He was paler than the wall behind him.
After another round of long silence, Joseph closed his eyes. “This is a long story, but I’ve indeed swapped children.“
Luna’s heart hurt terribly.
A mistress’ child. A mistress’ child took over the affection of her biological mother for more than zo years.
Even up to that moment, her mother, Natasha, was still kept in the dark.
