Chapter 1731


    The entire room fell silent when they heard this.


    Still pressing Luna against the wall, for a split second, Mr. Hanson did not know how to answer Joshua’s


    question.


    However, at this moment, Luna’s mind was so fuzzy that she could not evenprehend what was


    going on.


    In her confused state, she could only hear Joshua’s voice. She gritted her teeth and said instinctively,


    “Joshua…”


    Because of her intoxicated state and her position against the wall, these two sybles sounded


    extremely gentle and alluring.


    Joshua’s expression darkened.

    He stood up and strode over to Mr. Hanson. “If you still can’te up with a way to take care o f her,


    then let me take this responsibility from you.”


    With that, he shoved Mr. Hanson away and saved Luna.


    Joshua shoved Mr. Hanson so harshly that his entire body mmed against the edge of the table, and


    with a loud grunt, the tableware crashed onto the ground.


    Mr. Hanson propped himself up among the noise and snapped, “Mr. Lynch, how dare you treat me like


    this?”


    How dare Joshua Lynch treat him like this, considering he was the host of tonight’s dinner party?


    “What’s wrong with the way I treated you?” Joshua curled his lips into a smirk, then turned to nce at


    Luna’s bright red face. A twinge of pain shot through his heart.


    This stupid woman.


    Did she think that as a humble jewelry designer with no experience in business, she could have


    outsmarted all these deceitful businessmen?


    If he had not arrived just in time, she would have been in deep trouble!


    Joshua let out an exhale, pulled Luna into his arms, and turned to nce coldly at Mr. Hanson. “Did you


    forget who is the most powerful man in Merchant City now?


    “To bankrupt yourpany and render you homeless would be easier than stepping on an ant.


    With that, he swept his cold nce across everyone’s faces and added in a stern voice, “Next time, you


    guys should think long and hard before youy hands on any woman and try to find out who she has


    been involved withtely.”


    As evervone watched in shock, Joshua picked up a feverish Luna in his arms and strode out of the room,


    mming the door shut behind him.


    Everyone’s faces were etched with shock.


    Harold froze for a long moment before finally smacking his forehead in realization. “The news of Luna


    staying overnight at Joshua Lynch’s ce had been on the news a short while ago


    As soon as he thought of this, he could not help feeling even more terrified. “I had always thought it was


    just a piece of fake news, but it seems that…”


    The color drained from Mr. Hanson’s face when he heard this. “Does this mean that…Luna belongs to


    Joshua Lynch? But the Lynch and Landry families…”


    He did not even dare to finish that thought.


    All of a sudden, one of the dinner guests pursed his lips in disapproval and said, “Why do you guys care


    so much about a woman? We still have plenty here, don’t we?”


    Harold quickly agreed, “That’s right, Hanson. We’ve been hosting this party for a long time now, and all


    the women that always attended were from rich and powerful families, but nothing had ever gone wrong,


    so why should we make an exception for a woman that Joshua Lynch has slept with before?”


    Mr. Hanson felt a little reassured to hear this. He let out a sigh of relief and smiled. “You’re right. It wasn’t


    my fault at all, and maybe that woman willingly came herself because she wanted to.”


    Some of the guests started ordering their female partners to clear up the table, whereas the others


    began caressing and getting steamy with their partners.


    After a short while, someone knocked on the door.


    The person who entered the room was a woman dressed head to toe in ck, revealing only her eyes


    She bowed at the guests inside the room.
