Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 398

"Why did she choose to protect you this time?"

Luna turned her head aside; she did not dare to look at Joshua. "As I said, it's because of Theo."

Joshua's gaze was too aggressive.

His dangerous gaze made Luna feel as if her secret would be exposed the very next second.

"Do you think I'd buy that?" Joshua sneered. "Theo is indeed an artist that Gwen and Ben like, but the main reason they like Theo is because of Alice. Because Alice likes him, the two of them got to know Theo's work and like his art.”

Joshua looked at Luna's face. He wanted to see what sort of person she was from her face.

"Ben and Gwen wouldn’t have betrayed Alice because o f Theo."

Luna bit her lips. She did not know how to answer at that moment, so she took a deep breath and turned to look at him. "You haven't told me. Did you get those men to hurt Ben?"

Joshua looked at her. His gaze was ice-cold and ambiguous. "What do you think?”

Luna wanted to say that she thought that Joshua was the one who ordered them to do so.

However, she wanted to see what sort of lie he could come up with, so she chuckled. "What I think is not the truth. It's just like how I thought you would not get me to drink at an event like last night, but I still drank in the end, isn't it?”

Joshua’s gaze fiercely stalled. After a moment, he turned his head away from her and averted his gaze.

"I didn't get those men to do it."

His tone was cold and indifferent. "Those people are the local gangs of Sea City. Ben is a local businessman and is also the son-in-law of Andy Larson. The

Larsons had a feud with the gangs, so the gangs were just finding a reason to take it out on Ben.”

He cleared his throat. "I got in touch with the gangs mainly to look for you and Theo. I didn't know that you two would be in Ben's house. I was also not clear that Ben and the local gangs had a feud going on."

With those few sentences, he cleared himself of any responsibility for Ben’s injury.
