Chapter 452


    Joshuaughed, “Back then, to marry me, she could employ such tricks, and now, she could also employ


    other tricks, to deal with Luna.“


    With his left hand, he elegantly unfastened the buttons of his shirt. The bandages on his right arm made


    the olddy cry out in dismay, “Joshua, what, what happened?“


    “It was Hailey’s fault.“ He raised his eyes in cold detachment and nced at Adrian, “Everything that


    Luna said, is evidence of her crimes that I managed to find. Initially, I thought, since she’s already dead,


    then these pieces of evidence should not be exposed. But if father, you insist that she is a good girl and


    Luna was the one who framed her… I don’t mind exposing to the world the dirty deeds of a dead


    woman…“


    Adrian’splexion was pale, with a hint of grey. Unconsciously, he took a step backward, standing


    shakily as if he was about to fall at any minute. “ That’s impossible… Hailey is a nice girl…“


    “Adrian! “ Alice rushed forward and hurriedly steadied him. She held onto him, then turned and nced


    at Joshua coldly. “Joshua, she’s already


    dead, why do you have to destroy the image your father has of her? How can you hit your own father


    with such a blow?“


    Then, she bit her lip harshly. “Hailey was just in love with you, she likes you, so she used a few tricks to


    try and marry you, isn’t that normal? No matter how


    wrong her actions were, you don’t need to hate someone who loves you, right?“


    Joshua frowned slightly. A momentter, heughed lightly, “Alice, actually I always wanted to ask you.


    You’re so close to Hailey now… Did you forget what Hailey did to you when we just got married?“


    With one sentence, Alice’splexion turned pale as a ghost.


    Back then, when Joshua and Luna Gibson just got married…


    She once drove a car and knocked into Luna on purpose.


    Back then, Luna Gibson and Joshua just got married. While Luna was waiting for Joshua at the entrance


    to the hotel, Hailey seized the opportunity when there was arge amount of traffic at the intersection


    and the roads were in a mess and drove her car into the direction where Luna was standing.


    But back then, Luna reacted quickly and rolled away in time.


    Later on, this incident was suppressed, firstly because the traffic situation on the day of the ident was


    indeed in a mess, and secondly because she did not actually harm Luna.


    But she was warned by Joshua, never to step foot in Banyan City again.


    Back then when she did that, it was only because she was angry that Luna Gibson could marry Joshua,


    and im everything that she wanted as her own.


    All those years ago, she could not have guessed thatter on Luna Gibson would be involved in an


    ident and go missing, nor could she have guessed that one day, she would receive stic surgery to


    wear the face of the woman she hated, just to obtain Joshua’s love.


    At this thought, she bit her lip. “Of course I remember. But that night, the traffic was a mess,

    and Hailey only spun the steering wheel because she was trying to avoid an oing car. I’m no longer


    fussing about what happened so many years ago, so you don’t have to mention it too.“


    With that, Alice was afraid Joshua would continue talking about the incident from all those years ago, so


    she hurriedly helped Adrian up the stairs, his entire body trembling fervently. “Adrian, let’s find you a


    room. You shouldn’t get angry, as long as to you, Hailey is a nice girl, then I’m sure she’s definitely a nice


    girl! “


    With that, she helped him climb up the stairs.


    Looking at their retreating backs, Granny Lynch frowned slightly, then turned and looked at Joshua i n


    confusion. “Your wife… when did she grow so close to your father? Didn’t they used to not interact with


    each other at all?“


    “I have no idea.“ Joshua looked at them from behind, his gaze darkening slightly.


    Just like what Granny Lynch said, the two of them never interacted at all. It could even be said that today


    was only their second meeting.


    Their meeting was at her and Joshua’s wedding all those years ago.


    Now, Alice no longer afforded anyone the same kindness and understanding that she used to have,


    except Hailey whom she was particrly tolerant of.


    Not only that, she was even very close to her, but treating her old friend, Gwen, like a stranger.


    And now, she seemed so close to Adrian, who she had just met for the second time today.


    . . In the six years that she was missing, what actually happened to her?
