Luna paused for a while.
She did not realize her nails dug so deeply into her palms.
"So, the two of you got me here to persuade me to hold a news conference, just to prove that Alice is a good woman. Then, you want to use that to get closer to her and ask her for money?"
Natasha sighed. "I know you must be looking down on us, but as parents, if we could find a way for our children to be free, who'd want to watch their children stay in prison? We're only living like this now because we love our children too much."
Then, Natasha lifted her head and looked at Luna. "M s. Luna, you should know that I misunderstood Luna Gibson, now Alice Gibson, in the past. She hates me, so it wasn't appropriate for us to find her directly. I hope you'll cooperate with us and hold a press conference tomorrow. Clear her name so that the people on the internet would stop bullying her. This way, she'll remember how uneasy it is for us as parents, and only then would we be able to get money from her."
Luna’s heart turned cold.
Joseph and Natasha took so much effort to get her to come, just so they could use her to appease Alice, then squeeze some money out of her.
In her eyes, Aura would always be the most important one-selling off all of their belongings just for Aura's freedom.
They only wanted to repair their relationship with Luna Gibson because she was Joshua's wife.
"I’m sorry," sneered Luna as she gazed at the steam that rose from the teacup.
"I won't be able to help you. First, this incident is obviously Alice trying to make things difficult for me. Also, I don't have a reason to help you. Lastly," Luna swept a cold glance at Joseph and Natasha. "I’ll say this much. Since if you only have Aura Gibson in your hearts at all times, you should treat it as if you only have one daughter. Since young, none of you have given Luna Gibson any parental love, so don’t bother her now. Leave yourself some dignity."
Then, she turned and left.
Looking at her back, Natasha gritted and immediately chased after her.
"Ms. Luna."
