Chapter 774

The entire room fell into pin-drop silence.

As they had witnessed the extent of Joshua Lynch’s capabilities, no one in the audience even dared to
gossip about him anymore. Instead, they all stared in silent admiration at the man who almost single-
handedly bankrupted a company.

Meanwhile, Fiona, who was sitting next to Joshua, clenched her fists in fury.

She had witnessed firsthand just how powerful Joshua was. Not only was this man handsome and well-
mannered, but most importantly, he possessed insurmountable wealth and resources.

This was a man she wanted to rely on for the rest of her life, but everything he did this night was for
Luna…

Fiona narrowed her eyes and glanced at Luna, a glint of malice flashing through her eyes.

Everything was settled for the time being.

The emcee let out an awkward cough and tried fervently to salvage the situation. “Hahahaha! What an
exciting night, isn’t it? Since we’ve moved on from what happened just now, let the festivities begin!
Please enjoy!”

As soon as he finished his sentence, mellow, joyous music started to play from the speakers within the
hall. After that, everyone in the audience visibly relaxed and started having fun.

As soon as Luna and Bonnie alighted from the stage, Lucas stopped them. “Luna, Mr. Lynch wants to
see you.“



Bonnie bit down on her lip and grabbed hold of Luna’s hand. However, Luna did not seem fazed by this
and smiled at her instead. “Don’t worry.

Nothing’s going to happen.“

Luna exhaled and turned to follow Lucas.

Joshua and Fiona were sitting on a sofa toward the left of the hall. After what happened back there, all
the guests were intimidated by Joshua and did not dare come close to him. Instead, they huddled around
the right half of the hall, eating, drinking, and dancing the night away.

The left half of the hall, where Joshua was sitting, was quiet and empty, as though it were in a different
dimension.

Luna followed Lucas to where Joshua and Fiona were sitting and plopped down on the sofa across from
him. Joshua gracefully slid a cup of coffee toward her and said, “How do you like the gift I prepared for
you?“

What he meant was his attacks on Craig Group.

Luna bit down on her lip and stared at him coldly. “ Why did you have to do this to me, Mr. Lynch?“

“No particular reason,“ Joshua smirked and fiddled with the matching ring he had on. “I just didn’t want
Lynch Group to lose a talented designer like you.“

With that, he lifted his head and fixated his dark, penetrating gaze on Luna. “Ms. Luna, this morning, you
just finalized a contract worth ten million dollars with me, so how could I let you go so easily? How could I
let such a good business opportunity slip by?”

Luna sucked in a deep breath.



She knew that this was just an excuse. Joshua probably thought Luna did not know this, but the amount
of manpower he used to stage his attack on Craig Group was easily worth three to four times more than
their contract !

”Yes. Ms. Luna is such a talented designer. It’d be such a pity if you left Lynch Group.” Fiona gave Luna
a gentle smile and said in a sweet voice, still lying in Joshua’s arms, ”Besides, I’ in quite fond of Ms.
Luna. If you truly left Lynch Group, I’d be devastated.”

Then, she lifted her gaze and stared at Luna, a hint of provocation in her glimmering eyes. ”Ms. Luna,
please stay and continue working at Lynch Group. I was hoping I ‘d have the opportunity to learn from
you in the future.”

She fixated her gentle gaze on Joshua and added, ” Joshua, don’t you think it’s a good idea for me to
learn from Ms. Luna? Maybe if I managed to learn a lot from her, I might be able to work for Lynch Group
in the future, too!”

Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly, then chuckled and patted Fiona’s shoulder in reassurance. ”There’s
no need. You have a weak body, and I wouldn’t want you to be too tired.”

With that, he glanced at Luna coldly and said, ”As long as I can keep such a gifted designer as Ms. Luna
on board, that’s enough for me.”
