With that, Christian let out a yawn and continued," Although I must say, Joshua, if anything like this happens again in the future, you shouldn't follow us all over Banyan City like tonight.
"Although I have ulterior motives for getting close to Luna, I'm not here to harm her at all, so you can rest in peace knowing that. On top of that..."
Christian let out a snicker. "You were so harsh and cruel toward Luna yesterday, claiming that she has mental problems and even wanted to admit her into a mental asylum...but you're acting so thoughtful and caring now, following her everywhere. Aren't you afraid that Luna will find your behavior repulsive?"
Joshua narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
Christian had been respectful and polite to him before, but this last statement was clearly a taunt!
Joshua clutched his phone so hard that his knuckles turned white. "I guess you're not interested in my investment anymore, are you? Well, the Moores don't need my financial help, then."
Joshua scoffed and added, "I'll order Lucas to retrieve my money today."
As soon as he heard this, Christian’s jeering expression fell. He pursed his lips and said, "Uncle... Uncle Joshua. I was just kidding. Please don’t take me
so seriously. Besides, my whole point of calling you was to remind you to drive safely since you've been up all night, wasn't it?"
Christian had to admit that he had acted rashly for a moment without any concern for the consequences of his words.
No matter how bad he wanted to stick up for Luna, he knew that Joshua's wealth and power were not to be underestimated. He could not afford to get on Joshua's bad side at all.
As soon as he heard this, Joshua's cold expression softened. He furrowed his brows and asked impassively, "What did you and Luna talk about for the entire night?"
