"Then you should know, Luna raised them for six years. I would advise you to be nicer to Luna, otherwise, the children might not acknowledge you as their grandfather anymore."
Adrian's face turned purple.
On this side, Luna glanced at his expression with an elegant yet emotionless look, a careless smile lifting her lips. "Mr. Lynch, you said I killed Hailey, do you have any proof? Deciding whether someone killed someone else or not, don’t you need to speak based on the available evidence?" She rested an ankle on her knee, her voice cold and distant, "Hailey committed suicide by jumping off a building. Did I point a knife a t her and force her to jump, or did I push her? If I remember correctly, when Hailey committed suicide, I was accompanying my friend as she visited her ex-husband in the hospital. There are CCTVs in the hallways and elevators in the hospital, I have a perfect alibi."
Adrian snorted, "Don’t think I don't know, before she jumped because of you, she was forced to leave Sea City and move abroad! She grew up in wealth and luxury, with the good graces of God, and because of a woman like you, she was forcefully separated from her father, and had to leave the city she lived in since she was a child, how could she take it!"
Luna laughed coldly, "Unreasonable, this word is used to describe people like you, am I right, Mr. Lynch?"
She sucked in a deep breath, and said faintly, “Then d o you know why she was forced to leave Sea City? If you've never heard of the things she did to me, let me repeat them for you. I went to Sea City for work, however, at the welcoming banquet, Ms. Walter intentionally caused trouble for me. She gave me an invitation and yet purposely deleted my name from the guest list. When we visited the factories for survey purposes, she deliberately arranged for two wretched men to accompany me, harassing me orally throughout, even forcefully making physical contact with me, trying to take advantage of me time and time again. In the shop, an accident happened where it should not have happened, a huge mineral flew in my direction. If Mr. Lynch did not block them for me, I would be lying in a hospital bed right now. Of course, this is not the main incident."
She sucked in a deep breath, raised her eyes, and looked at the purple-faced Adrian, "That night, Mrs. Lynch and Ms. Walter arranged for the other men to get me drunk. While I lay drunk in the hotel, she sent six or seven male escorts into my room, who tried to take advantage of me while I was drunk. Finally, she used my friend's father's life to threaten my friend, forcing her to publicly announce that I am the mistress who destroyed Mr. Joshua Lynch’s marriage."
Saying all of this out in a single breath, Luna raised her eyes and looked at Adrian with cold eyes. "Mr.
Lynch, if Ms. Walter is not your friend's daughter, if the person she harmed was a member of your family, tell me, would you still choose to let her off the hook? After all the things that she did, if I reported her to the police, she would definitely be handed a more severe punishment than merely being forced to leave Sea City."
Luna's gaze was cold and stern. “Since the Walter family and you are family friends, Mr. Joshua Lynch asked me to compromise. In the end, little Ms. Walter couldn't take it, and committed suicide. Do you think that is my fault?”
Adrian’s expression. His hands clenched into tight fists at his side.
"You're lying! Hailey wouldn't do things like that!"
He gritted his teeth harshly. "Hailey is a cute little girl, she's docile and obedient, the only thing she insisted o n was wanting to marry Joshua! She's gentle and understanding, all these years, she would only lose her wits if the matter was related to Joshua. But she had long since lost interest in Joshua, even if she was still interested in him, the person she would want to deal with is definitely not you! I don't believe she would do something like this, not at all!"
With that, he glanced at Joshua. "Joshua, what do you say?"
With a turn of his head, Adrian was stunned. Standing beside Joshua, Alice's eyes were filled with tears of agitation. Her teary eyes...
Looked exactly the same as Hailey's all those years ago!
