Chapter 272


    “Nothing much.“ Anne pursed her lips. “As you know, our hospital has the best stic surgery


    department in all of Banyan City. Recently, a lot of people havee by to ask if any of us had seen


    Hailey. They think she might’ve stopped by our hospital.“


    She continued, “Anyway, I heard that this Hailey girl has been obsessed with stic surgery ever since


    her fiancé dumped her. Their marriage was apparently arranged, but he didn’t want to marry her.“


    Luna calmly stuffed a forkful of food into her mouth. “This fiancé of hers is none other than Joshua


    Lynch.“


    Anne’s jaw dropped. “Does that mean…the one who stole her fiancé was…“


    “It was me.“ Luna gave Anne a smile. “Surprising, isn’t it?“


    Anne still gaped at her. “Surprising, indeed.“


    Luna finished her food and set down her cutlery. She got up, grabbed her coat, and said to Anne while


    she put it on, “Like me, Ms. Walter is just another poor girl who fell head over heels for the wrong person.


    She and I both sacrificed too much for that idiot Joshua. I pity her.“


    Luna’s words baffled Anne so much that she did not know how to respond. After a while, she finally said,


    “Luna, do you think maybe…Ms. Walter used your face as inspiration for her stic surgery?“


    Luna shook her head. “Anyone familiar with me and Joshua would know that we were never happy


    together. No one in their right mind would think Joshua is in love with me. Since he doesn’t love me, why


    would she want to look like me?“ With that, Luna picked up her bag and left.


    Anne pursed her lips and mulled over what Luna had said. Anne knew that Luna was right, but she could


    not help but think something was wrong.


    Everyone in Banyan City knew that though years passed, Joshua was still loyal to his ex-wife.


    When Luna arrived at the office, it was just past 7am. The entire office was deserted. She turned on the


    lights, picked up the sketches fromst night, and continued working on them with her door closed.


    An hourter, the office bustled with activity as people came in for work.

    “Did you guys see the news? I never thought Luna would do something like this…“


    “That painting was priceless! How could she ruin it just like that? I guess it’s true that women can do


    anything out of jealousy.“


    “I heard that the reason Mr. Lynch started dating Luna is to put on a show and trick Mrs. Lynch into


    coming home. Now that she’s back, Mr. Lynch dumped Luna. Of course she’d be jealous of her! “


    “That doesn’t mean she can do something like this out of spite! Doesn’t she know how to respect other


    people’s artwork?“


    Although her door was closed, Luna could still overhear the whispers and murmursing from outside.


    She frowned and swiftly opened the door.


    Upon seeing Luna, the employees fell silent immediately.


    “Besides…“ Shannon had her back to Luna, so she did not see her. She continued in a gleeful tone, “


    After this scandal happened, Mr. Lynch assigned Luna an impossible task yesterday. It’s clear he’s just


    trying to make her life miserable! Of course, she made him lose ten million dors topensate for the


    ruined painting, so he had to get back at her somehow! “


    “You seem to know more about Joshua than himself,“mented Luna with a smirk.


    Shannon jolted in shock upon hearing Luna’s voice. She immediately turned around and gave Luna an


    awkward smile. “Director Luna, you’re…here. We didn’t know you’re here.“


    Luna gave Shannon a sideways nce. “If you did, would you still talk bad about me so openly? “ She


    fixated her gaze on Shannon’s pale face. “What painting are you talking about?“


    Shannon bit her lip and handed Luna her phone. “ Here. See for yourself.“


    Luna frowned as she looked at the screen. The news headline read, (When Jealousy Turns into


    Vandalism: Woman Ruins Priceless Painting Out of Envy.]


    There was a video under the headline. It seemed to be a video recording taken from a bystander’s


    perspective. In the video, Alice was crying and using Luna of ruining Theo’s painting.


    All of a sudden, the image cut to the surveince room. Finally, Joshua’s face appeared on the screen. “ I


    didn’t see anything.”


    Luna chuckled after scanning through the article. She knew who it was that leaked this incident to the


    press.
