Chapter 353

The butler was no innocent, simple-minded old man.

The butler’s face fell as he listened to Alice’s words. “ Ms. Gibson, I didn’t do all of this for you. I did them
for my daughter, Yvonne! She’s good friends with you, and if you’re unhappy because of this woman,
she’ll be just as unhappy, too.

“As her father, it’s only natural that I wouldn’t want to see my daughter sad and moping around every
day! Besides…“

He glared at Luna viciously, and a cold smile hung from his lips. “This woman used work as an excuse to
stay beside Mr. Lynch, but in actuality, she harbors ill-intentions toward him! Why shouldn’t I expose the
actions of a woman who intentionally seduces a married man, showing the world how evil and calculating
she is?“

The hatred in his eyes as he glared at Luna and spat those words far surpassed the hatred one would
have for a mistress.

Luna narrowed her eyes slightly.

A moment later, her lips twisted into a smile as she laughed coldly. “The old butler cares so much about
the Walter family! Those in the loop know that Mrs.

Lynch is your daughter’s friend, but those that aren’t would think Mrs. Lynch is your daughter instead! “

The butler scoffed coldly, “To me, Alice is just like my own daughter! “

“Stop it…“ Alice wiped her tears and walked up to him, pulling at his sleeve. “I know you and Yvonne just
want the best for me, but the truth isn’t what you think at all…“



She then walked toward Joshua, raised her arm, and hooked it intimately through his. “Joshua and I
have been close all along. We have two children together: a son and a daughter. Six years ago, I left
Banyan City, and he waited for me throughout the past six years.

“What’s more, in the past six years, he even took good care of my sister and family for my sake… How
can another woman come between us, when we share such a tight bond?

“Besides, Luna has only worked at the Lynch Group for a month. I believe Joshua; he’s not someone
who’ll give up on a six-year-long relationship for a woman he’s only known for a month.“

Alice rubbed her head against Joshua’s chest as she spoke. Joshua frowned and tried to resist her at
first, but her eventual words struck his heartstrings. Not only did he cease to resist, but he even took the
initiative and wrapped his arms around her.

Luna saw everything. She bit her lip as the frost in her chest grew colder by the minute.

Seeing Alice stand up for Joshua, Gwen, who stood at the side, still felt furious.

She rolled her eyes and approached them. “Alice, stop defending him. He announced in front of
everyone that he’s divorcing you. Could that be fake? This man is fickle and disloyal. He doesn’t deserve
your unwavering loyalty! “

The moment the words left Gwen’s mouth, the attendees in the banquet hall started whispering amongst
themselves.

“Gwennie, don’t say that.“ Alice let go of Joshua and sucked in a deep breath. “Actually— “

“Actually, the old butler and Yvonne were the ones who planned and executed everything, but Alice
chose to bear the burden of their mistakes, “ interjected the man next to her before she could finish.



He pulled her into his chest, his voice cold and distant as he explained in her stead, “I only said I’d
divorce her out of anger.“

With that, the man’s cold eyes swept over the butler’s face, then drifted toward Dennis. “Uncle, the butler
is your employee.“

Dennis frowned.

He glared at the butler coldly. “How could you go behind my back to frame and discredit Luna in Banyan
City? Because of you, everyone almost thought Joshua, my dear boy, is a piece of scum. Apologize to
him right now! “

The butler hurriedly rushed to stand before Joshua. “

Mr. Lynch, I’m sorry…“
