Luna lifted her head and stared at Joshua dazedly. She opened her mouth as if wanting to say something but did not know how to explain everything to him.
He was right. Before Luna found out that she was pregnant, she tried to seize every opportunity she got t o get closer to Joshua. The moment she received good news, he misinterpreted it as joy over the fact that the baby belonged to Theo.
Luna did not know how to explain it to Joshua.
Joshua leaned against the chair lazily and gazed at her. "Luna, do you know what the consequences of offending me are? Do you think I'm too lenient and kind toward you, and that’s why you can toy with my feelings like this?"
There was an air of hostility and ruthlessness about him when he said this, that Luna could not help but feel suffocated. She clung to the hem of her shirt underneath the table.
Luna lowered her head and feebly spoke, "I... Of course, I know what the consequences are."
Joshua was so cruel that he was even willing to hurt his children in the past. What made her think that he would not do the same to Theo's child?
"It's good that you know." Joshua fiddled with his glass on the table and said, without even lifting his
head, "Lucas has already looked into this. Do you remember the supplier that switched out the ores to poor-quality minerals? One of their shareholders is none other than Nathan Allen himself."
Luna’s eyes widened when she heard this.
She knew that Nathan Allen owned ore mining rights i n other countries, but she did not expect him to have the same concessions in Sea City.
"He just acquired the company two months ago, so he probably didn't expect that I'd be able to find out this information." Joshua gazed at the horizon in the distance. "I know he’s not doing this to earn money. He's just trying to humiliate me to get back at me. He probably didn’t think I’d notice so soon.”
Then, he turned around to glance at Luna. "What a vengeful person.”
Luna let out an awkward cough. "You're right. What are you planning to do, Mr. Lynch?”
Joshua smirked, then glanced at her again. "The best thing I can think of is aborting you and Theo’s baby to show him up.”
