Chapter 255
Joshua paused in his tracks.
He turned back, a cold expression on his face, looked at the man behind him and said, “Master Allen, I
think you might be mistaken…“
Beside him, the manager hurriedly rushed to Theo’s side. “The person who destroyed your painting is
Ms. Luna and not Mrs. Lynch.“
Theo smiled faintly, turned and threw a gentle nce in Luna’s direction. “Why didn’t you say that you
were framed? Just because he paid ten million inpensation for you?“
Luna turned pale.
She lifted her eyes and looked at Theo, then turned and nced at Joshua.
The man’s face was cold and expressionless. “That’s because no one will stand on my side.“
A momentter, she raised her head and stared at Joshua, saying word by word, “There’s no CCTV
recording, and the only witness chose to remain silent, no matter what I say, no one will believe me.“
“Why would no one believe you?“
Theoughed lightly, strode to Luna, and looked at Joshua with clear, calm eyes. “Mr. Lynch, as the only
witness, shouldn’t you exin clearly who was the one who destroyed the painting? I value this painting
very much; marypensation alone isn’t sufficient.“
Joshua’s hand that was wrapped around Alice’s waist tightened slightly. “Is that important?“
“Of course it is.“
Theo raised his head, an unyielding glint shing in his gentle eyes as he looked at Joshua.
The two men stared at each other in confrontation.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the surveince room turned tense.
After a long while, Joshua curled his lips in a smile. “ Actually…“
He turned and looked at Luna. “I didn’t see who was the one who actually destroyed your painting.“
The manager paused. “But the staff said…“
“There’s no rule that says just because I was standing there and my eyes were looking in that direction,
that I definitely saw it, right?“
A cold look passed through his handsome face. “ Even if I was staring in that direction, I was dozing off.“
Joshua’s words once again caused an uproar amongst the crowd.
Luna stood in her spot, her heart sinking lower and lower into the pits of her stomach.
She knew Joshua had definitely seen everything.
If he did not, he would not try to cover the truth so deliberately.
But he chose to lie, for Alice.
Closing her eyes, she felt thest fragment of hope she had been holding onto for him smash into pieces
and disappear.
“I’m willing to pay thepensation because this matter involves both parties, one of them is my wife,
and the other is a staff member working for me in the Lynch Group.“
Joshua’s cold voice silenced the low rumble of discussion in the room.
“As a husband or a superior, I have the responsibility to end this silly affair.“
He looked at Theo coldly. “Are you satisfied with my exnation?“
Theo smiled. “Of course I ann.“
Then, Theo turned and looked at the pale-faced Luna, “I heard Ms. Luna is a fan of my art, would you
apany me to go see that painting again?“
Luna’s head snapped up, and was greeted with his warm, clear eyes.
She paused and nodded. “Alright! “
Theo was around the same age as Joshua, a young and sessful artist.
When he just made a name for himself, Luna was already his fan.
He was her idol.
Now, her idol was standing in front of her, extending an invitation her way, how could she reject him?
“Let’s go.”
Theoughed lightly, reached out, and held Luna’s hand.
Being held by an unfamiliar man, instinctively, Luna wanted to struggle. But she did not. She did not
know what overcame her, instead, she flipped her palm over and gripped his hand tightly.
He did not expect her to hold his hand tightly, he paused, thenughed lightly, “Let’s go.”
After they left, the manager started to disperse the crowd. “Everyone, the issue is solved, there’s nothing
more to see here.”
“Joshua, let’s go.”
Alice hooked her arm through Joshua’s, her voice soft and gentle.
