Joshua was a strong man. Fiona knew that if he came up to her, there was a very high chance she would not be able to win in a physical fight against him.
Therefore, she narrowed her eyes, put the knife closer t o the rope tied on Nigel, and threatened, "Wrap the contract around a rock and toss it over!"
Joshua froze in his step, and his expression darkened as soon as he heard this.
However, he still followed suit. He crouched down to pick up a rock and chuckled. "What are you worried about? I've promised to marry you and vowed to protect you. Do you really think I'll break that promise?
"If you act so defensively against me, what will our future be like?"
There was a hint of kindness in his harsh, emotionless words.
Joshua had never talked to Luna like this before, so she was puzzled for a moment, trying to figure out if Joshua meant it or if he was simply trying to trick Fiona.
However, one thing was clear: Joshua had never displayed this warmth and kindness toward her at all.
Joshua put both the contract and the rock into a plastic bag and tossed it over to Fiona as instructed.
The rock landed at her feet with a thud.
Just as Fiona bent down to pick up the bag, Joshua turned to shoot Luna a meaningful look.
When Fiona stood up again, he turned his head back t o face her and smiled at her.
Fiona opened the contract, and there it was, clearly written, [Joshua Lynch will protect Fiona Blake against any foreign police that wanted to prosecute her from the crime she committed and will marry her and take care of her until the end of her days.
[If he fails to achieve any of the clauses, all assets down to every single penny of Lynch Group will be hereby transferred to her name.]
Seeing the contract in her hand, Fiona suddenly felt like changing her mind.
She did not want to die at all.
What if...
What if Joshua could truly help her avoid prosecution for the murder of Violet and Shaun Lewis and take care of her for the rest of her life?
