Chapter 548

Joshua gently placed one hand under Luna’s chin, and the other on the back of her head, kissing her
with fervent and passion.

Luna widened her eyes. She struggled against him, trying to get away, to no avail.

Luna glared at this man. How dare he kiss her? Right in front of Theo, no less!

Even though she and Theo were just pretending, they were still a couple in public! How dare Joshua do
this to her? He had no respect for her dignity at all!

“Joshua Lynch! “ Theo growled through gritted teeth. He clenched his fists and grabbed Joshua’s collar.
Before Joshua could react, Theo drew back his fist and struck a blow towards Joshua’s face.

However, Joshua was quicker, and he immediately grabbed hold of Theo’s hand in mid-air. He said
nonchalantly, a hint of taunting in his gaze, “Look at this. How are you even supposed to protect her?“

Theo grew even more enraged upon hearing Joshua’s insulting tone. He clenched his teeth and swung
his other fist toward him.

This time, Joshua did not stop him, but instead, he stepped aside and dodged Theo’s blow. Then, he
curled his lips into a sneer and said mockingly, “Are all artists as slow as you?“

Before Theo could say anything in response, Joshua reared his arm back.

Seeing that Joshua’s knuckles were about to connect with Theo’s face, Luna immediately lunged
forward, putting herself right between the two fighting men.

A flash of surprise passed through Joshua’s eyes, but it was too late. He could not stop his arm
anymore.

Joshua’s fist connected forcefully with Luna’s body, right in the middle of her shoulder wound.



In the split second that he struck his blow, Luna could hear a ripping sound coming from the recently
sutured wound. The next moment, all she could feel was an excruciating pain that shot down her
shoulder and into her entire body, as if someone were ripping her apart!

“Luna! “ Theo immediately grabbed hold of her, but before that, Joshua had already stepped forward and
lifted her from the ground.

He burst out of the room, carrying Luna in his arms. “Lucas, get the car! “ Theo quickly followed suit.

However, by the time Theo made it to the ground floor of the building, Joshua had already carried Luna
into his car and was heading straight towards the hospital.

Theo frowned and had no choice but to wait for a taxi.

“Joshua.“ Luna furrowed her brows and stared up at the man holding her. “What are you… trying to do to
me?“

Joshua was the one who had spent the night with her. Yet he had set her and Theo up, attempting to
frame her as an unfaithful woman, all because he wanted to please Alice.

He had even tipped the media off so that Theo and Luna would be surrounded by reporters as soon as
they stepped out of the hotel, forcing them to admit that they were together.

Luna had abided by everything Joshua forced her to, but what had she gotten in return?

Nothing.

Joshua was still displeased with her, so he came over to her office to make things difficult for Theo. He
even kissed her right in front of Theo because he knew that this would enrage him. He had humiliated
not only Theo but Luna as well!



What did this man want from her?

Joshua frowned and pressed his hand against Luna’s bleeding wound. Then, he stared in the direction in
front of him and said, “I won’t allow this.”

“Won’t allow what?” “I won’t allow you to be together with Theo.”
