Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 585

Alice's voice sounded gentle and light, yet it seemed to have petrified Celeste.

Celeste shuddered and said with a rather trembling voice, "Mrs. Lynch, w-what are you saying?"

Alice’s response was laced with vague ridicule, "Mrs. Allen, don’t you understand? Let me tell you once more, then: I'll never, and had never, once gossiped about Luna with you. Even if I hate Luna, I won't spread such stupid rumors. There. I've said it."

Alice, on the other end of the call, leaned back on the chair. She calmly glanced at Jason, who was looking a t the address outside the door, and chuckled.

"Also, my husband and I are in a very good relationship. Why are you trying to disgrace me in front of my husband? Are you just jealous?"

Alice did not even care what reaction Celeste had after that as she immediately hung up the phone.

Hearing the disconnecting beep from the phone, Celeste's legs felt like jelly. Right before she slumped t o the ground, Samson immediately held onto her.

"Mrs. Allen, what are you doing? Are you really planning on kneeling to our Director Luna?"

Celeste closed her eyes. She never once suspected the words that Alice told her because, firstly, Alice and

Luna have known each other for many years. Second, Alice had also mentioned Joshua among the men Luna has slept with. Celeste felt that Alice had no reason to cuckold herself.

However...

Alice’s innocent and indifferent tone on the phone a moment ago was like a baseball bat that smashed against her head. Celeste felt as if she was struck by lightning. She could not even move, let alone think.

How could that happen...?

Even if those were lies, they came from Alice! How did it become her spreading the rumors instead?

"Mrs. Allen, what else do you have to say for yourself?"

Joshua looked at Celeste's face, his gaze cold as he did. "You were the one that came up with this and smeared Luna's character. You even pushed all the blame on my wife. It looks like Luna was right. It's not that you are brainless, Mrs. Allen. You just used them i n all the wrong places."

Celeste opened her mouth, wanting to retort but unable to find her words.
