Joshua immediately frowned when he heard this.
He had indeed been on a phone call with Luke previously while at the bus station, but he had not called him to rat on Gwen.
He had called Luke out of concern that he would blame this on Luna, knowing that Luke and Luna would definitely run into each other at the station.
As soon as he heard that Gwen was heading to the station to meet Luna, he contacted Caleb to verify whether Luke was in Lincoln City.
After all, Luke had been planning to head there for a business trip, and Lincoln City was Caleb's territory.
Therefore, if Luke had arrived there, Caleb would surely have been alerted of his presence.
Because of this, as soon as Caleb told him that Luke had not come to Lincoln City, Joshua immediately knew that Luke had pulled a no-show on the man he had been planning to meet with for a business opportunity.
The reason he had done so was to recapture Gwen, the bird who had attempted to escape from her captivity in search of freedom.
With Luke's influence and power, there was no way Gwen would be able to escape unless so long as he made up his mind to keep her captive.
Therefore, Gwen's escape had all been a part of Luke's plan since the start.
Luke had known of her intentions since the beginning and thus did not need Joshua to eavesdrop on her conversation with Luna and rat on her to find out.
However...
Joshua furrowed his brows as he glanced a t the furious woman standing before him.
He knew that at the height of her anger, Luna would not believe him, even if he explained everything.
Not only that, but she would even be convinced that all this was just an excuse.
"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" When she noticed that Joshua did not reply, Luna forcefully removed her hand from his grasp and fixed her clear eyes, which burned with rage, on his face. "I knew it!
"Joshua Lynch, Gwen didn't do anything bad to you, and as a matter of fact, she had even helped you in the past!
