Joshua's gaze was too cold. Too frigid.
Anne was scared half to death by his gaze. She immediately hid behind Luna, not even able to formulate words properly. "I... Luna...she... She's always been with me."
Joshua smiled and looked at Anne who was behind Luna, then he looked at Luna calmly. "Didn't you two discuss how you were going to explain to me before coming over?"
Then, Joshua looked at Lucas, by the side, flatly, "Go get me two bottles of makeup remover.”
Anne was instantly in a daze at his words.
Makeup remover?
Anne subconsciously looked at Luna's face. Her bruises were covered well, so how did Joshua notice?
Luna furrowed her brows and stopped Lucas, shooting Joshua a helpless gaze. "Are you really going to ask m e to take off my makeup here?"
Joshua narrowed his eyes. "I just don't like it that your makeup is too thick.”
Luna took a deep breath. Of course, she knew that Joshua wanted her to remove her makeup not only because her makeup was too thick.
Luna went in closer to him and said in a suppressed tone, "I don't want to make a big deal out of it. Don’t forget our true purpose tonight.”
She could deal with Michael later on. The main point that night was Aura. Luna thought that Aura would most probably find a way to appear that night to ruin their engagement ceremony. Therefore, she got Joshua's men to standby at all of the entrances.
Whether Aura pretended to be a guest or a staff member, the guards at the entrance would immediately recognize her.
By then, they would seize Aura. Once Aura was caught, Neil and Theo's life would not be in danger anymore. As long as they found them, it was only a matter of regaining Neil’s memory.
It was because of that, Luna did not even bother about her being kidnapped. The first thing she thought of after coming out of the abandoned warehouse was to rush over to the engagement ceremony.
