Chapter 1812
“Jim, I’m tired. Let’s head to bed, please?”
Jim’s eyes, which were filled with abhorrence and resentment, had softened when he heard Charlotte’s words.
He reached his hands out and gently caressed Charlotte’s head. “Alright,” he said dotingly, ‘we’ll go now.”
Then, his expressions changed once again, glaring at Luna coldly. “Fuck off! You’re not welcomed here!”
Luna was flabbergasted as she watched Jim and Charlotte leave. She immediately rushed out from under the umbrella, passed through the bodyguards, and grabbed Jim’s arm.
“Jim!” Luna bit her lip and held his arm tightly.
“What happened to you? Is Charlotte threatening you? Why have you turned out this way? Tell me!”
Jim should not have turned out this way, he was not this sort of person! She had been living with her brother for a year, and she understood him.
There must be a reason why he became this way!
Charlotte furrowed her brows upon hearing what Luna said. She let go of Jim’s hand and slapped Luna’s face brutally.
Slap!
The loud sound reverberated in the rain. Even Joshua, who was in the black Masevati across the street in the distance, heard it clearly.
He saw how the thin Luna retreated a few steps back due to the slap before falling to the ground under the heavy rain. A wave of cold anger rose in him.
This was the first time he could not control his emotions. He reached for the door and was about to rush out, but Lucas, in the car, pulled him back just in time.
“Sir, don’t go.” Lucas furrowed his brows and pointed at a few cars in the distance. In the cars, reporters were taking photos with their cameras.
If Joshua was to rush out to help Luna at that moment, that proved what Jim said in the news that day correct, that Joshua was colluding with Luna.
By then, the news would blow up again, and the comments about Luna would become more malicious.
Joshua narrowed his eyes and looked at the cars in the distance. In the end, he let go of the handle.
He hissed in a suppressed low tone, barely containing his anger, “Find it out! Find out which newspaper company they’re from and their identities! Ruin them and take away their permits!”
Lucas nodded. “Okay, okay, okay.”
He then took his phone out and sent a message to Theo.
“Sir, calm down. I’ve already notified Mr. Allen to bring Ma’am back to the Lynch Mansion. I know you can’t bear to watch it, but you can comfort her when we go back later, alright?”
Lucas knew how important Luna was to Joshua, so he had to be extremely calm at that moment. He nad o help contain Joshua’s anger, or they would have fallen for the trap,
At the entrance of the Landry Mansion, Luna slowly got up with Theo’s help. Her face was burning from the slap, her mind in complete disarray. Still, she lifted her head and looked at Jim.
*Are you still my brother?
Jim looked at her, a hint of pity finally glistening in his eyes.
When he saw how Charlotte was about to slap Luna again, Jim furrowed his brows and stopped her
“Forget about it.” Only then did Charlotte stop. She glared at Luna coldly. *Wf you dare come here again to make trouble, it won’t be just a light slap next time!”
