Chapter 117
Luna was a little stunned at Aura’s words.
After a while, Luna smiled. “Congratulations, Ms. Gibson.“
“I know that you can’t believe it.“ Aura slowly put the wine glass down on the table. She looked at Luna with her intricately made-up eyes.
“You’re just short -sighted. It’s not your fault. How long have you been working for Joshua?“
Aura smiled smugly. “Do you know why Luna Gibson, that coward, only dared to send her daughter back but not show herself?“
Luna lowered her eyes and fiddled with the wine glass on the table. “I don’t know.“
“Because she does not dare to come back. She knew better than anyone that her accident back then was not an accident. Someone planned it.“
“Is that so?“ Luna raised her eyebrows. She looked at Aura. “How do you know, Ms. Gibson?“
“Because Joshua was the one that planned the accident. Of course, I know about it.“
Aura’s voice was still calm, but her smile was smug. “ Joshua always liked me. When he knew that Luna was pregnant, he was afraid that I would be unhappy, so he decided to get rid of her. I only knew about this later on. I even had a huge fight with him over this. “
Luna dug her nails into her palms. She forcefully suppressed the overwhelming emotions.
“Why are you telling me all this, Ms. Gibson? I don’t think we’re close enough for you to share your secrets with me, right?“
Aura must be up to something for telling her all these out of the blue.
“I ‘m not sharing secrets with you, “ Aura sneered, “ you’re not worth it. I only want to tell you that I am the one and only in Joshua’s heart.“
Aura looked at Luna arrogantly. “I’m only showing off. After all, you are the only woman who has been a threat to me, after so many years. But, after tonight…“
Aura raised her eyebrows. “You will be utterly defeated by me.“
Then, she stood up.
“I hope you stop trying to seduce Joshua after tonight, if not…“
Aura calmly smiled. “Luna Gibson who was pregnant with triplets could be hit off the bridge into the sea, that could be you too.“
Clink!
Aura bent down, picked the wine glass up, and clinked it with Luna’s.
After tapping her glass, Aura did not drink the wine. Instead, she threw the wine glass into the bin with disgust.
She took a napkin out and wiped her hands gracefully. “I hope you have a good night.“
Luna remained in the spot, looking at her leave. She clenched her fists tightly.
Her heart was aching as if someone had stabbed her brutally with a knife!
She has known and understood what Aura has said for a long time now. However, it was one thing to understand it. It was a whole other thing when this cruel fact was being told so directly.
Also, Aura told the incident with condescension and smugness.
The humiliation and pain back then were like a sharp sword, slicing her heart in half.
Her kindness toward Joshua for the past few days has been instantly wiped off at Aura’s words.
Yes. How could she forget how cruel Joshua was back then.
She loved him so much that she was willing to give up everything, yet he got rid of her without any hesitation. He sacrificed her.
In his heart, she was nothing but a stranger.
“Lulu.“
Just when Luna was looking at Aura leaving in a daze, another man’s low voice rang in her eyes.
She was stunned and turned around.
Behind her, Malcolm Quinn was in a white suit. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
He was tall and regal-looking. He attracted the attention of many heiresses.
At that moment, he had a wine glass in his hand. He smiled at her. ”Have you been here for a long time?”
