Chapter 492

“If I can’t do it without bringing my personal feelings to work, how can I ask my employees not to play
favorites?“

Luna bit her lip. She understood Joshua’s insistence, but it was just…

Luna turned to look at him. “Mr. Lynch, if I said that I don’t wish for Joseph Gibson to be in prison for too
long, will you think I’m being unreasonable?“

Joshua raised his eyes and looked in front. His voice was flat as he remarked, “Joseph Gibson has two
daughters. One of them was Aura, who almost killed you and the children a few times. The other is my
wife, Alice, who always had a problem with you.“

He turned and glanced at Luna coldly, examining Luna’s face. “All that, and you’re extremely tolerant of
Joseph and Natasha. You won’t resist no matter how they scold you.

“If you didn’t install hidden cameras before this incident, your future in the jewelry design industry would
be completely destroyed.“

Joshua squinted. His gaze was so sharp that he could penetrate through all her pretense, reaching for
her deepest, darkest secret.

Luna looked away, not daring to meet his gaze. This man was still like before—dangerous and
perceptive.

Her every single action, no matter how small, could not be hidden.

The atmosphere in the car was so quiet that it was rather strange.

Joshua leaned back gracefully on the leather seat as he looked at Luna’s side-profile.

“Give me a reason why you want to let Joseph Gibson go.“



Luna stopped breathing.

A reason…

Would the fact that she was Joseph’s biological daughter count as a reason? How about the fact that
Joseph and Natasha have truly repented? Did that count as a reason?

As for why she wanted to let Joseph Gibson go, she had a million reasons, but she could not say a
single one to Joshua.

After a long time, Luna sniffled as she peered at the dark scenery outside. “I think that parents can be
forgiven even if they do something wrong because of the love they have for their children.”

Luna turned to look at Joshua and smiled. “Perhaps it’s because I’ve been Nellie and Neil’s adoptive
mother for six years, so I can understand what it feels like to be as parents. If Nellie grew up and

encountered such an incident, perhaps I’d do it, too. Is this reason enough for you?“

Joshua narrowed his eyes. He looked at her closely with his deep gaze.

After a long while, he smiled. “It’s not enough to convince me, but it is one reason.“

Joshua closed his eyes and leaned back on the leather seat rather exhaustedly. He raised his hands and
rubbed the middle of his brows. “Only the people in the meeting today know about the plagiarism
incident. After all, this incident didn’t incur any economic loss. If I were to forbid the people today from
talking about it, I could let my father-in-law go and pretend that nothing had happened.

However…“

Joshua’s voice lowered. “Someone posted a video of the meeting you had with the design department
today online. In one afternoon, it spread like wildfire.“



Luna’s body instantly stiffened.

She has been waiting to see Joseph at the police station for the entire afternoon. How could she have
known…

When she came to her senses, Luna immediately took her phone and searched for the video.

Before she could find it, Joshua flatly said, “The person that took the video didn’t post the full content of
the meeting. Only the part where you presented your design.“

Joshua opened his eyes and glanced at Luna. “If we don’t properly deal with this video, you’d most
probably be accused of plagiarizing. You’ll never be able to design jewelry, which you love, for the rest of
your life after this.

“If you want to clear your name, you have to publish everything that Joseph did. He still has to go to
prison.“
