As soon as they heard that, Celeste and Nathan turned to one another.
“Besides, Mr. Lynch is right.“ Luna let out an exhale. “I ‘m not a good match for Theo. He’s such a kind and gentle person; I don’t think I deserve him at all. I thought tonight was just a small family dinner, but I didn’t expect an engagement to come out of this. I’m sorry.“
With that, Luna turned around. However, just as she was about to leave, she paused as if she had recalled something and took a step back.
“Mr. Lynch.“ Luna slowly approached Joshua and smiled at him. “Are you happy now?“
Joshua snorted in indignation and gently set down the cup at hand. “Yes, I am.“
Luna stared at him, and a glimmer of malice flashed across her eyes. A second later, a smack landed on Joshua’s face before he could even react.
Luna had given him such a forceful blow that his face was struck to one side from the impact.
Luna drew back her throbbing hand and chided, “ Anyone can think I’m impure and promiscuous, but you, Mr. Lynch? You have no right. “ With that, she turned around to leave.
“Luna! “ Alice immediately grabbed onto Luna’s wrist and leaped out of her seat in a fury. “How dare you slap Joshua? Have you forgotten he’s still your boss? You haven’t married into the Allen family yet! “
Luna flung Alice’s hand away. “If you want to fire me, go ahead! “
She left the room with a huff and slammed the door behind her.
Meanwhile, Nathan and Celeste watched everything unfold in silence.
Theo put down the box and turned around to chase after Luna, but Nathan stopped him before he could do so.
“What’s wrong with that woman?“ he asked coldly.
Theo clenched his teeth. “Luna’s not that kind of person at all! It’s all just rumors! “
