“Are you okay?“
After Alice helped Adrian upstairs, Joshua looked at Luna who sported a red, puffy palm print on her cheek, his brows screwed tightly together.
“What bad can it be?“
Luna raised her lips coldly, took the ice cubes that Neil handed her, and held them gently against her swollen cheek. “It won’t kill me.“
With that, she glanced at him, her eyes faint. “Mr. and Mrs. Lynch exerted yourselves to get me to bring the two children back to your home because you wanted me to become your father’s punching bag.“
Joshua’s eyes darkened. “I did not know my father and grandmother would be here…“
Beside him, Granny Lynch rolled her eyes. “What do you mean you did not know?“
The old lady pursed her lips. “Before you came home, I asked the butler to inform you! Joshua, why
do you care what an employee like her thinks? Even if you asked her here to be slapped by your father to vent his anger, so what? Doesn’t she at least deserve a slap for the things that she did?“
The moment her words left her mouth, the entire living room instantly grew quiet. His expression ice- cold, Joshua ordered the servants to summon the butler.
“Granny Lynch did in fact ask me to inform you. but I was worried I would disturb you while you were discussing business, and informed Ma’am.“
With that, the butler glanced at Joshua in confusion. “Did she not tell you?“
The living room was once again enveloped in silence.
Helplessly, Joshua massaged his aching temples with his long fingers. “Get back to your work.“
No wonder, since the start Alice kept insisting on bringing the two children back to the villa. And later, at the Swan Lake Residences, she suddenly changed her mind and wanted to bring Luna along to his home.
Not to mention Alice, any servant working for the Lynch household knew of the friendship between Adrian Lynch and Dennis Walter.
Alice intentionally instigated Luna to come to the villa when Adrian was in the house… actually, it was all for this moment, was it not?
