Chapter 3038
The crocodile tears brimming in Tara’s eyes were like cherries on top of her perfectly crafted lie.
Gwen could not help frowning in disapproval when she heard this.
Joshua was no doubt a handsome man, and as Luna’s friend, she had witnessed throngs of women practically throwing themselves at Joshua over the years. That being said, however, Tara was arguably one of the most cunning and crafty women she had ever met.
Gwen instinctively glanced at Joshua, then at Luna.
To her surprise, Luna was also staring at Joshua with a funny expression.
Gwen paused momentarily, then inched closer to Luna and whispered in her ear, “This woman is clearly trying to steal your husband. Why are you so calm?”
Luna shrugged, smiling. “Well, if he falls right into her trap so easily, perhaps I’ll be better off without him.
“Since Joshua promised me he’d be able to take care of all this, I shall let him do his work. If he truly managed to stick to his word and resolve everything, we will still be a happy little family, but if things don’t go the way I want, Tara can have him, so long as I get the kids.”
Gwen froze for a moment, then gave Luna a thumbs-up in admiration.
She admired Luna for her open-mindedness and her newfound optimism. It was clear that Luna had changed a lot since her time in jail.
However, on second thought, she knew Luna was right.
Joshua’s job put him in a position where he would frequently meet plenty of attractive, charming women that wanted to bed him, and it would not be feasible for Luna to get jealous over every single one of them at all.
Instead of worrying endlessly about whether Joshua would cheat on her, it was wise of her to allow Joshua to take care of things himself.
The mark of a good husband is being able to say no to temptations and remain devoted to only one partner-his wife.
“Is that so?” Joshua curled his lips into a smile, glancing at Tara, and picked up his phone.
“Hello, is this the CEO office of Moore Group, Sharnwick City branch? Yes, hello, I’m Joshua Lynch.”
Tara’s eyes were as wide as saucers when she realized Joshua was speaking to her secretary. A glimmer of panic flashed through her eyes.
“Alright, thank you.” A few minutes later, Joshua hung up and glanced at Tara. “Your secretary told me that not only is everything going fine, but you never showed up at work today.”
His gaze turned solemn as he asked, “Why didn’t you go to to work? Do you think this job is too difficult? If you don’t want to do this, I can talk to Uncle Devon and he can free you of your responsibilities here so you can go back to living your carefree, bratty life.”
Tara looked as though she was about to burst into tears.” Joshua… I… I just wanted to come see you guys…
“We’re family, and since you’ve all come all the way from Banyan City, I had to show some respect by coming to pick you up myself, don’t I?”
“I told you it wasn’t necessary.” Joshua’s expression was stern. “Besides, you had just left Banyan City a few days ago. it’s not like we hadn’t seen each other in years, is it? I already told you it’s not necessary for you to come, and yet you chose to play hooky from work and disregard my orders. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
“Tara, I don’t see any inkling of sincerity in wanting to take over Uncle Devon’s business the right way.
“Or perhaps were you just trying to get close to me when you came to work as my secretary for two weeks? if that’s the case, I have no choice but to be honest with Uncle Devon and tell him that I won’t have anything to do with you anymore.”
