Chapter 1702

“There’s no need,” Joshua interjected Lucas curtly. “The Quinn family also has a few spies among the
cops.”

If Lucas were to tell Luna the truth, the change in Luna’s attitude toward him would surely give them
away, even if no one was eavesdropping on their conversation.

Glancing at Joshua once more, Lucas let out a sigh but did not say another word.

Soon, the car arrived at Lynch Tower.

As soon as Joshua and Lucas got out of the elevator, they came face-to-face with Theo and Gwen,
waiting outside his office.

Seeing that Joshua had returned, Gwen immediately stormed forward and glared at him. “I hear that
you were the one who convinced Cheryl’s parents to keep Luna imprisoned, weren’t you?”

She gritted her teeth as she continued to glare at him. ” Don’t you know what kind of person Luna is
and whether she can possibly kill someone or not? How dare you do this to her!”

Joshua glanced impassively at Gwen and curled his lips into a smirk. “How dare you talk about this with
me?

“When Luna’s mother was injured, didn’t she also doubt my integrity? If you hadn’t notified Luke and
me, I would’ve become the murderer that almost killed Rosalyn.

“When Luna mistrusted me, you didn’t blame her at all, but now, you’re blaming me for doubting Luna.

“I know you’re Luna’s friend, but that doesn’t mean you can hold double standards like this, does it
now?”



With that, Joshua circled past Gwen as though she were made of thin air and strode toward his office.

Gwen clenched her fists and gritted her teeth but could not say a single word.

All of a sudden, Theo walked toward her. He gently patted her shoulder and said, “I’ll go talk to him.”

With that, he followed Joshua into his office.

As soon as the door closed behind him, he sat down in the seat across from Joshua, smiling. “How’s
Luna doing in there? You must’ve sent some people to protect her, haven’t you?”

He gave Joshua a gentle smile and continued, “I wouldn’t want what happened at the mental asylum to
happen once again. Luna has only nine fingers left, you know.”

Joshua narrowed his eyes and shot Theo a cold glance, then smirked. “Why aren’t you reprimanding
me?”

“Because I know you too well.” Theo let out an exhale and shifted into a more comfortable position in
his chair, a small smile playing on his lips. “When I went to see Dr. Rachel, she told me she had met
you before and that you were a weirdo.

“You were so busy, yet you had the time to wait outside her house for a week so that you could
convince her to come with you to Merchant City and save a woman that was your mortal enemy.”

With that, he fixated his penetrating stare on Joshua and continued, “I’m sure neither Luna nor the
Landry family knows about all this.

“Since you were willing to beg Dr. Rachel to save your mortal enemy for Luna, how can you possibly
not trust her and instead frame her for murder?”

Joshua fell silent upon hearing this.



He did not expect that the person who would understand him the most was the man who had once
competed with him for Luna’s heart.

Joshua could not help letting out a bitter chuckle when he thought of this.

He lifted his head to stare intently at Theo. “Do me a favor.”
