Joshua could not help but smirk when he heard what Nathan had said. He turned around to look at him. "It seems as though you’re unaware that we're buying these gemstones from you upon Luna's request, Mr. Allen.
"According to Lynch Group's senior executives, we can always change the materials used for this project to diamonds. However, Luna was the one who insisted o n using your gemstones. She thinks they'll be more suitable for her designs. If you want to forfeit our contract, I can convince Luna to change her mind and use diamonds for her products instead, but..."
Joshua stared at Nathan with a steely look. "Are you sure you want to do that, Mr. Allen? I’m afraid you don't want to find out the consequences of offending Lynch Group and any of its employees."
Nathan’s face turned pale, then blushed scarlet. He clenched his fists and stared at Joshua. "Mr. Lynch, I don't think the two of us should break our contract over a woman."
"Look who's talking,” snapped Joshua. "It's you who caused a scene in front of my office building so early i n the morning, yet you had the audacity to say this?"
Nathan was so affronted by this that he could not answer.
Shooting them a final smirk, Joshua turned around and strode into Lynch Group Tower.
Nathan and Celeste were rooted where they stood, and their faces contorted in rage. They were furious at the way they were treated. However, they did not dare to offend such a big corporation as Lynch Group, so they had no choice but to relent.
"Dad, Mom!” Theo shot his parents a somewhat helpless glance. "I already told you that Luna isn't the kind of person you think she is, but you didn’t listen to me at all, and now you even followed me here! See what happened? Are you happy now that Joshua Lynch has humiliated you in public like this?"
"Shut up!" Nathan was still irate from his encounter with Joshua and immediately vented his anger toward Theo. "You can have any woman in the world, yet you chose that b*tch Luna and even announced your relationship on television! If our relatives find out about her, you'll embarrass both of us! Let's go home, right now!"
