Chapter 2076

Luna and Laura both stilled when they heard Joshua’s voice.
The color had drained from Laura’s face. She pursed her lips slightly and glanced first at Joshua, then at
Luna. “I… I said that I wanted to compete with Ms. Luna…for…”
“Compete for my affection?” Joshua strode into the room, sneering, and reached Luna’s side. Then, he
reached out and pulled her to his form. “Dr. Suess, Lucas was the one who persuaded me to employ you
as the family doctor.
“Initially, I had wanted to find a male doctor, but since Lucas has worked for me for so many years now, I
trust his instincts, so I didn’t object when he recommended you.
“From the moment you stepped into my house, I knew you weren’t content with our relationship as
employer and family doctor, and because of this, I had deliberately been keeping my distance from you.”
He curled his lips into a smirk and glanced coldly at Laura. “I just never thought that you’d one day have
the audacity to even challenge my wife so brazenly.”

He lowered his head to shoot Luna a tender glance and added, “Please don’t take notice of her.
Joshua’s attitude was clear.
Laura remained motionless and stared intently at Joshua, her fists clenched next to her. “Mr. Lynch, I
don’t understand; what is it about Luna that makes you so attracted to her?
“She’s utterly useless! Have you forgotten her failure in running the company as soon as she took over
as Landry Group CEO? As the daughter of the Landry family, she had not even been capable of running
the family business, so what is it that you see in her?
“Do you love her because she’s a failure and has no achievements whatsoever?”
As she said this, Laura could not help snickering. “What a sad, sad life. A woman shouldn’t be like this,
sitting at home all day with nothing to show. This is why I spent all my life working hard and building my
career
“After so many years of hard work, I finally achieved my dreams of becoming a doctor and finally met the
man of my dreams, but what happened?



“I can’t believe that someone as successful as you, Mr. Lynch, will still fall for a woman like Luna, who
has nothing but her looks to show!
“The fact that you love her so much despite her failure makes it even more saddening!”
Laura poured out all her opinions of Luna in a single breath without even a hint of courtesy toward Luna.
Luna narrowed her eyes. She smiled, removed herself from Joshua’s arms, and shot Laura a | cold
glance. “Dr. Suess, do you think you’re a successful woman while I’m nothing but a
failure?”
Laura sneered. “That’s not just what I think; it’s a fact.”
What had Luna achieved in Merchant City?
Nothing
A year ago, she was Malcolm Quinn’s fiancée, and Joshua had crashed their engagement party to win
her back
After that, she became the heiress of the Landry family and led a life full of wealth and prosperity.
Every time Laura saw news of Luna, she could not stop herself from gossiping to the people around her,
“What does this woman have apart from a pretty face?
“Why on earth are Mr. Malcolm Quinn and Mr. Joshua Lynch willing to fight over her? She’s just a
useless bimbo, and one day, as she ages, she’ll lose her looks — the only thing she’s got going for her.”
Laura would constantly use this as a means not only to talk bad about Luna but advise herself not to
become like her..
The reason no man ever pursued her was that she never spent as much time on her looks as these
bimbos did!
