Chapter 298

That was the news Mr. Walter gave to Alice the other night, and it inexplicably appeared before her eyes.

She gnashed her teeth harshly. Luna must go! So long as Luna remained, Joshua would never be with
her!

It was that way a few years back, and it would continue to be that, too!

Luna spent the entire morning to re-sketch the set of design sketches Granny Lynch had destroyed. She
even changed some details.

By noon, she stretched lazily and was about to head down to grab some lunch.

She did not expect to be surrounded by reporters the moment she walked out of the building.

“Ms. Luna, the internet is saying you were the one that posted the video of Mrs. Lynch pushing you to
fight back the rumors yesterday. Is that true?“

“Ms. Luna, someone saw a video online of Mrs. Lynch kneeling before you at the office lobby, asking for
your forgiveness. Is that true?“

“How do you explain yourself of openly being the mistress and coming between Mr. Lynch and Mrs.
Lynch?“

“Don’t you feel shameful, stepping into other people’s relationships?“

The reporters seemed to have come prepared. Every question they asked was insufferable.

Luna furrowed her brows. She wanted to get Zach and Yuri to come and help her when a mellow male
voice came through from behind, “We’ll hold a press conference tomorrow to announce this matter
briefly.“



Luna, who was surrounded by the reporters, was stunned. She subconsciously turned back to look.

The person who spoke on her behalf was no other than her own father, Joseph Gibson.

Luna looked at him in shock. “Why are you here?“

Joseph did not look at her. He flatly looked at the reporters. “Hello, everyone. I’m Mrs. Lynch’s father. As
for the relationship between Ms. Luna and my daughter, we’ll hold a press conference tomorrow to briefly
explain to everyone.“

Then, under the stunned gaze of the reporters, Joseph pulled Luna to a place far away.

With her sleeves tugged at, Luna felt as if she time-traveled.

The man in front of her was her father. Although he had already aged and was hunching, he was still like
when she was little: pulling on her sleeves as he led her somewhere.

They walked for a long time.

In the end, Joseph brought Luna to a broken-down place. The moldy smell of the room filled her nose.

“Ms. Luna.“ Joseph cleared his throat.

Luna came to her senses. In front of her was a broken-down rented house. The sun shone through the
dirty windows, making one suffocate.

“Ms. Luna, have some tea.“ Natasha carefully carried a teacup and placed it in front of Luna.

Luna furrowed her brows. “Why are the two of you living here?“

Although the Gibsons were not as rich as the Lynches, Natasha and Joseph were not that poor that they
had to stay in a place like this.



Natasha and Joseph looked at each other.

“We sold off our house and company at Sea City.“

Natasha sighed. “Joshua put it nicely, saying that he sent Aura overseas to further her studies while it
was, in fact, a closed-off school—no different than being in prison.

“We got in touch with the Walter family at Sea City. They said that as long as we’re willing to come up
with five million dollars, they could get Aura out,

and she would then be free. Other than coming back to Banyan City, she could do anything.“

Luna felt suffocated.

“So, for Aura’s freedom, you spent all of your life savings?“

“Mmh.“ Natasha sighed. “There’s nothing more important than the freedom of our child.“

Luna smiled bitterly. Natasha still did not know that Aura Gibson was not her daughter.

At that thought, Luna lifted her eyes and looked at Joseph. “So, why did you bring me here? What are
you trying to tell me?”

“We want to help you hold a press conference with Alice. To prove Alice’s innocence.”

Natasha looked at her. “Alice is Joshua’s wife now. As long as she’s willing to give us some of her
money, we won’t have to live so miserably.”
