Chapter 169

Luna was astonished to hear Lily’s words. Why would Adrian Lynch want to talk to Joshua about her?
Was she not just a resigned maid to the Lynch family? What was there to talk about?

Joshua was just as surprised. He shot Luna a disapproving frown and turned back to look at Lily. ” Ask
the chefs to prepare fried chicken, ” he ordered.

Lily nodded after a moment’s hesitation. She linked hands with the two children, and the trio entered the
house together. Lucas also left to park the car in the garage.

Joshua and Luna were the only two people left standing in front of Blue Bay Villa, though Joshua did not
seem to be in a rush. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and proceeded to light one. Then,
he leaned casually against the pillar and took a drag on his cigarette. The smoke made his unsmiling
face look even colder and unapproachable.

Joshua fixated his steely gaze on Luna and sneered, ” I guess you decided to target my father instead
since you couldn’t get any confidential information out of me, huh? What did Malcolm Quinn offer you in
return for doing his dirty work, so much so that you’re willing to be a pawn?”

Luna initially frowned at his words, but she smirked a split second later. Joshua must have thought she
was the one who led Adrian here over the pretense of having a conversation about her. He even thought
that Luna kept trying to get close to him so she could

extract confidential information for Malcolm.

‘He thinks too highly of himself and too lowly of Malcolm,’ Luna mused to herself. ‘Although Malcolm is
his biggest competitor and had never managed to outsmart him, that doesn’t mean Malcolm would resort
to dirty measures like this. Malcolm isn’t a despicable rogue like Joshua thinks.

The fact that Joshua’s mind immediately jumped to this conclusion, proves how much more despicable
he truly is.’



Luna snickered as a cold glint flashed in her eyes. ” You insist that I’ in a spy sent by Malcolm Quinn. Let
me ask you this, Mr. Lynch: I’ve been with you for almost two months now, and if I truly am a spy,
wouldn’t the Quinn Group have gotten their hands on the Lynch Group’s confidential business
information already?”

Joshua snorted, ”Just because they don’ t have access now doesn’t mean they won’t in the future.
Maybe Malcolm Quinn is just biding his time. ” He let out a puff of cigarette smoke. The smoke obscured
most of his face like a thick fog, but his piercing eyes still stared straight at Luna.

”I don’t care who sent you or what your motives are. I’ve warned you, Luna. You can hurt me all you
want, but I draw the line at family. You used Nellie and my father as chess pieces in your game to get
close to me, but I won’t let this happen a second time.” He put out the rest of his cigarette. ”Let’s go in.”

With long strides, Joshua’s tall figure disappeared into the villa.

Luna’s brow furrowed and remained motionless for a moment, but she followed him nonetheless. No
matter how much hatred she harbored for this man, she knew what she had to do. She had to restrain
herself to persevere.

She had always been very good at that, and this day was no exception.

The two entered Blue Bay Villa.

“Joshua.” Adrian, who had been sitting on the couch, stood up as soon as he saw his son entering. “ I
want to talk to you about that girl, Luna…” Before he could finish his sentence, Adrian caught a glimpse
of Luna, and his words seemed to be stuck in his throat.

After a pause, he gave an awkward smile and said, “Ms. Luna is here as well.” Luna smiled politely and
nodded in response. “Hello, Mr. Lynch.”
