Chapter 586

Celeste gritted her teeth harshly.

Joshua was clearly trying to protect Luna and Alice. She would be no match for him!

“Mom, let’s go home.“

Theo sighed and whispered into Celeste’s ears, “This is the Lynch Group. You’re presenting the Allen
family…“

Celeste gritted her teeth upon Theo’s words.

After a while, she closed her eyes. “Then…let’s go.“

Theo pursed his lips. He turned to look at Luna and smiled apologetically before helping Celeste up
and headed toward the exit.

“Hold on.“

Samson furrowed his brows. He rushed forward and opened his arms wide, blocking Theo in the way.

“You’re Mr. Theo Allen, right? I’ve seen you in the news. You just announced a relationship with our
Director Luna a few days ago.“

Theo paused for a while and sized up this 17 or 18 – year-old teenager in front of him. “Can I help you?
“

“Of course! “ Samson sneered. “Your mother still hasn’t apologized to Director Luna.“

Theo furrowed his brows. When he arrived, he noticed Celeste kneeling in front of Luna. He thought
that Celeste was apologizing to Luna for her terrible character previously. Did she not apologize?



Samson seemed to have noticed Theo’s confusion. He sneered and said, “Mrs. Allen only knelt down
because her legs went limp. Because of her rumors, Director Luna has suffered a lot of unwarranted
scoldings and humiliation. Should Mrs. Allen not apologize for it?“

Theo furrowed his brows. He turned to look at Celeste next to him, whose face had already turned
miserably pale. “Mother, you… What did you say about Luna?“

For the past two days, Theo had been cooped up in the hotel by Nathan. He did not know what
happened outside, let alone what his mother did to Luna.

He only knew that Celeste took a five-million-dollar check this morning to look for Luna.

Theo spent a huge effort to escape Nathan’s clutches. As for the rumors, Theo did not know anything
about it.

Facing her son’s question, Celeste furrowed her brows. She did not know what to say at that moment.
She had always believed what Alice said. However, at that moment…she was more prone to believe
that those were lies Alice created because she was jealous of Luna.

Seeing how Celeste did not reply to Theo, Samson swept a cold glance at Irene, who was still kneeling
on the ground in the distance.

“You should be the one who knows best what rumors Mrs. Allen spread. Tell us.“

Irene hesitated for a while. She thought that this was a great opportunity to redeem herself, so she
immediately repeated what Celeste said before.

The color on Theo’s face fluctuated from pale white to blue. He could not fathom. He could not imagine
that his usual gentle, kind-hearted mother would… use such words to defame Luna.



What did Luna do wrong? All she did was nothing but being forced to announce their relationship due
to rumors of her and him dating.

“Mother.“ Theo took a deep breath and let go of Celeste’s arm. “Perhaps I haven’t been by your side for
such a long time. I didn’t know that you had become such a person. No matter what, Luna is my
girlfriend. Have you ever considered my feelings when you spread those rumors?“

Celeste opened her mouth, trying to find her words, but nothing came out.

After a while, she lowered her head. “I was only trying to…force her to break up with you.“

“I’ll never break up with her.“ Theo looked at Celeste, then at Joshua.

“The more all of you want me to give up, the stronger I’ll hold onto.“

Then, Theo looked at Celeste closely. “Mother, if you must treat Luna like this, I’d rather cut ties with
you.“
