Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 354

Joshua shifted his gaze to Luna. "The one you should apologize to is her."

The butler paused, then approached Luna hesitantly. “ Ms. Luna, I—"

"I don’t want your apology." Luna raised her head proudly as her cold eyes swept across the butler’s old and wizened face. "You dare say the rumors you spread about me, the way you discredited me, insulted me, all of these were done out of your own volition?"

"Of course.” The butler raised his eyes and looked at Luna. "Besides me and my daughter, could there be anyone else?"

Luna barked out a cold laugh and did not bother to answer his question nor accept his apology. She raised her eyes and looked at Joshua, who stood in the distance with his arm around Alice. "If Mr. Lynch has decided to let it go, then there's no point in me pursuing this matter any further.

"I'm not feeling very well, though. Forget I ever attended this banquet."

With that, she ignored the reactions of the crowd behind her as she lifted her skirt and left the hall.

Luna did not know what she was upset about. She was the victim, and the final winner after the rumors had been cleared, but she somehow felt like a clown.

Like a deserter.

The sight of Joshua with his arms wrapped around Alice and how he lied for her kept replaying in her mind’s eye.

Everyone keenly watched as she strode out and her tempo increasing as she went, growing more and more anxious.

The woman's high-heeled shoes tapped against the clear marble floor, producing clear clicks as she walked.

Joshua stood in place as he gazed at her retreating form. A tinge of pain seemingly sliced across his heart.
