Luna was astonished to hear Lily’s words. Why would Adrian Lynch want to talk to Joshua about her? Was she not just a resigned maid to the Lynch family? What was there to talk about?
Joshua was just as surprised. He shot Luna a disapproving frown and turned back to look at Lily. ” Ask the chefs to prepare fried chicken, ” he ordered.
Lily nodded after a moment’s hesitation. She linked hands with the two children, and the trio entered the house together. Lucas also left to park the car in the garage.
Joshua and Luna were the only two people left standing in front of Blue Bay Villa, though Joshua did not seem to be in a rush. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and proceeded to light one. Then, he leaned casually against the pillar and took a drag on his cigarette. The smoke made his unsmiling face look even colder and unapproachable.
Joshua fixated his steely gaze on Luna and sneered, ” I guess you decided to target my father instead since you couldn’t get any confidential information out of me, huh? What did Malcolm Quinn offer you in return for doing his dirty work, so much so that you’re willing to be a pawn?”
Luna initially frowned at his words, but she smirked a split second later. Joshua must have thought she was the one who led Adrian here over the pretense of having a conversation about her. He even thought that Luna kept trying to get close to him so she could
extract confidential information for Malcolm.
‘He thinks too highly of himself and too lowly of Malcolm,’ Luna mused to herself. ‘Although Malcolm is his biggest competitor and had never managed to outsmart him, that doesn’t mean Malcolm would resort to dirty measures like this. Malcolm isn’t a despicable rogue like Joshua thinks.
The fact that Joshua’s mind immediately jumped to this conclusion, proves how much more despicable he truly is.’
