Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1593
The butler’s face turned scarlet upon hearing this.
Even though Luna had already been with the Landry family for a while, she had never seen this butler interfere in any of their businesses. He was a respectful person and knew that as an employee, he had no right to interfere or comment on any of his employer’s personal matters.
It was just that…
This day was more peculiar than usual.
The last time he saw Charles so furious was when Jim had insisted on resigning from the position of Landry Group CEO and wanted to bring Harvey out of the city in search of his birth mother.
At that time, Rosalyn was still around to take care of Charles, but at this moment…
Nonetheless, the butler knew that Joshua was right. He had no right to overstep his boundaries as a butler.
He let out an exhale, slowly walked over to Luna, and bowed at her. “Ms. Luna, I’m sorry for misunderstanding you.”
This butler looked a few years older than Charles, so naturally, Luna did not want to make things difficult for him.
On top of that, she knew that the reason he had misunderstood her…was because there were two people leading him on.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna raised her brows and glanced at Heather and Malcolm in the distance. “The butler has already apologized to me, so what about the two of you?”
She glanced at the crowd surrounding them and added, ” Everyone, you’ve all heard what Luke said; the reason Joshua and I appeared here at the same time is that my best friend Gwen is dating Joshua’s friend Luke.
“Doesn’t this mean that everyone who accused me of deliberately bringing Joshua over to infuriate my father should apologize to me right now?”
With that, she raised her brows at Heather and Malcolm. “
What do you say?”
The audience started murmuring among themselves, ” That’s right. How can someone accuse Luna of trying to kill her father without first understanding the whole story?
How absurd!”
“They definitely owe her an apology. Everything was just a coincidence after all. I was wondering…why would a daughter even want to deliberately do something that would anger her father?”
“You probably don’t know this, but Ms. Luna is Mr. Landry’s biological daughter, and Ms. Heather is the adopted one. therefore, if she successfully got rid of Ms. Luna, she’d be able to gain Mr. Landry’s trust…”
Heather’s face darkened when she heard this.
Who would have thought that the people who had been attracted by the commotion and had scolded Luna just moments ago would turn against her in mere minutes?
The audience’s comments felt like thorns pricking into Heather’s throat. She felt uneasy at this but had no way of objecting at all.
Heather clenched her fists and was about to say something in retort when Malcolm grabbed hold of her hand.
He gave Luna a gentle smile and said, “We’re sorry, Luna. Heather was just too concerned about Father, and when she saw you and Joshua arrive together, she was so anxious that she didn’t fully understand what she had said.”
With that, he pulled Heather into his arms and continued, ” Please don’t take this matter to heart, considering Heather has just given birth and has been diagnosed with postpartum depression.
“If you insist on an apology, I’m willing to apologize to you, and on top of that, you can make some material requests, and I will try my best to fulfill you within my capabilities.”
Heather furrowed her brows upon hearing this. She pouted slightly and said in a barely audible voice that only the two of them could hear, “Why are you apologizing to her?”
“I’m saving face. Remember, we’re playing the long game here.” Malcolm lowered his voice and warned curtly, “I’m just helping you save face and protecting you. If you don’t appreciate my efforts, then I won’t do this for you again in the future.”
Heather bit her lip and fell silent. She laid in Malcolm’s arms motionlessly, pretending as though one of her depressive episodes had been triggered.
The only two people she could rely on in Merchant City before she got her hands on the Landry family’s fortune were Charles and Malcolm.
With Charles on the verge of dying, and if she lost Malcolm’s protection…
How would she be able to fight against Luna?
The crowd started murmuring as soon as they saw the dazed look on Heather’s face as she lay in Malcolm’s arms, “It turns out she’s suffering from postpartum depression;
that explains it.”
” If she’s sick, they should lock her up and treat her. Why would they let her accuse and badmouth other people without proof?”
“She didn’t mean to do that. Why would you hold that against someone who’s mentally ill…”
Luna could not help curling her lips into a smirk when she heard this. “You’re right.
