Aura's face turned pale.
She just wanted to find some evidence to push all the responsibility on Luna, but she forgot that there was not only Luna's signal in Blue Bay Villa but also Joshua’s!
"That's right," Luna leaned against the wall as sarcasm oozed from the corner of her lips. "Although Mr.
Lynch's mobile phone signals are encrypted, if one or two of them were and it just happened that you monitored it, and the data somehow gets leaked... The ensuing loss may amount to hundreds of millions.'
Aura's face paled instantly.
"Joshua, I... I won't sell your information, ever! I was just...just too anxious. I wanted to find evidence of Luna's plan, so..." 1
Looking at Aura's panicked expression, Luna's lips raised in a sneer. Just as she was about to say something, however, Nellie's voice drifted out from the ward.
"Auntie..."
As soon as her daughter called, Luna dropped everything and pushed open the door to the ward and went inside.
That left only Joshua and Aura in the corridor.
"Joshua..." muttered Aura with a pout in an attempt to lower his suspicions of her. "I was wrong..."
"It's not the time to apologize yet." Joshua glanced at her indifferently. "When the results of the investigations are released, and if it's the same as what Luna said, implying you’re responsible for the incident today, you know the consequences." 1
With that, the man turned around and strode into the ward.
Bang! The door to the ward slammed shut audibly.
Aura stood in the corridor, and as she stared at the closed door, her chest heaved in anger.
She was so convinced that her plan was fool-proof, but not only was the little b*stard still alive, but that accursed maid one-upped her!
She was so angry that she kicked the bench with all her strength.
'Just you wait!’
"Were you quarreling outside just now?"
As she laid on the hospital bed, the pale little girl glanced at Luna and then at Joshua. "You were so noisy."
