Chapter 573

The atmosphere inside the car grew quiet.

Luna curled her lips into a smirk and gazed at Joshua with clear eyes. “Mr. Lynch, what kind of man do
you think would make me fall so hopelessly in love with?“

She stared at him with a gaze so intense and cold that Joshua felt as though he was the man who had
disappointed her. He could not help but feel uneasy by her stare.

He tilted his head away from her and chuckled. “ Well, I know he probably isn’t someone like me.“

Luna felt like laughing at his response. Instead, she turned away from him and instead stared in front of
her. “You’re right. He wasn’t like you at all. He was someone irresponsible, selfish, and didn’t take
responsibility for the people around him at all.“

Luna snuck a meaningful glance at the man next to her and could not help noticing Joshua’s sharp and
chiseled side -profile. “He was totally different from you, Mr. Lynch. You’re responsible and loyal both to
your family and your wife. How could anyone possibly compare the two of you?“

Joshua furrowed his brows. It was rare to hear Luna praising him like this, but somehow, her
compliments made him feel uncomfortable.

After a long pause, he smiled and said, “Well, since he’s such a bad person, why did you like him?“

“I was naïve and probably blind, “ said Luna as she beamed at him. She enjoyed criticizing Joshua right
in front of him without him knowing it.

She knew that Joshua could probably tell something was wrong. However, he could not seem to put his
finger on it. Knowing that Joshua was probably trying to put two and two together made her feel



exhilarated, so she continued, “I was young and nalve, so I thought if I loved him, he’d love me back, and
we’d be together forever. In reality, he didn’t like me at all, and as time passed, he resented me more and
more…

“Until eventually, in the end, I realized that this man wasn’t worth my time at all. He was selfish and
arrogant and didn’t care about anyone apart from himself. He didn’t deserve anyone’s love, yet ironically,
many other women besides me were crazy for him…“

Joshua frowned at her words.

Seeing how animated Luna was, Joshua had a feeling that she was talking about him, but…

He narrowed his eyes and fixated his penetrating gaze on Luna. “When did you start liking him?“

“Eight, nine years ago, I think. It was too long ago.“ Luna gazed out the window and added impassively, “
We’ve broken up for a long time now. Thank God I was able to get out of that relationship while I could

Joshua stared at her back coldly.

She had fallen in love with this man eight or nine years ago and gotten to know Alice eight years ago.

If his suspicions were correct, that the man she was talking about was indeed him, then it could only
mean one thing.

She was Hailey Walter.

Joshua recalled what Jude had said in his office the day before.

“Anything can happen, but I do hope that beautiful employee of yours isn’t Hailey Walter. Otherwise, it’d
be disgusting to know that you slept with the woman you hate the most, multiple times.“



Joshua frowned and felt a flurry of emotions swirling about in his mind.

He continued to stare at Luna’s beautiful side profile and found it hard to believe that the stunning, kind
woman before him was the same person who had devised a plan to kill Luna Gibson.

Finally, the car arrived at Swan Lake Residences.

Luna let out an exhale and opened the car door, appearing to be in a good mood.

Before she got out of the car, she even bade Joshua farewell with a smile. “Thank you, Mr. Lynch, for
listening to my rant. Good night! “ With that, she turned around and got out of the car.

“Luna.“ Before she could step out, however, Joshua furrowed his brows and stopped her. “You haven’t
told me what happened to the scumbag that you fell in love with.“

Luna paused, then grinned and replied, “He died. “
