Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 254
In a corner of the second floor, he was talking on the phone.
And the direction his eyes were looking in… was the direction in which she pushed Luna!
In an instant, Alice’s face turned pale as a ghost.
“Mr. Lynch is our sponsor, and he’s your husband, he would definitely remain fair and just.“
With that, the manager immediately ordered a subordinate. “Go and invite Mr. Lynch here! “
Alice’s expression turned immeasurably ugly. She was regretting her decision deeply.
Joshua saw her reaching out and pushing Luna.
She just returned to his side, he still had his reservations about her, if he realized she was not as kind and gentle as she pretended to be…
Would he be suspicious of her?
“Ms. Luna.“
The manager looked at her calmly. “Whether you intentionally destroyed this painting or you were framed, we will know the truth once Mr. Lynch is here.“
Luna stood on the spot; her hands clenched tightly into fists at her sides.
Alice had framed her for destroying Mr. Allen’s painting, initially, she planned to prove her innocence with the CCTV recording and the testimony of witnesses.
But she did not expect the painting would be located in a blind spot.
And what’s more, she did not expect Joshua would be the only witness.
She closed her eyes.
Would he… tell the truth to help her? “Mr. Lynch, this way please.“
Following the staff member’s voice that was filled with flattery, the tall and elegant man entered the surveillance room.
In the room, he glanced at Alice and Luna and understood what was going on.
He elegantly took out a cheque book and wrote a check for ten million dollars. “Give this to Mr. Allen, if it’s insufficient he can contact my secretary for extra compensation. I’ll reimburse him for this painting.“
Once the words left his mouth, the crowd was enveloped in a frenzy.
The manager frowned. “Mr. Lynch, we asked you here to testify…“
The man raised his cold eyes and swept them over the manager. “I said, I am reimbursing Mr. Allen for this painting.“
The manager wanted to say more but immediately shut up when he came into contact with the man’s ice-cold gaze.
He could not afford to get on Mr. Lynch’s bad side!
From the beginning, all he wanted was someone to compensate for the loss of the painting.
Now that Joshua was willing to pay, they did not need to fixate on the perpetrator of the act.
And so he hurriedly lowered his head. “… Uhm, Mr. Lynch, thank you for coming.“
Joshua snorted carelessly in reply and slowly walked to Alice.
Facing his razor-sharp gaze that felt as if he could see right through her, Alice instinctively lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.
Sighing softly, the man gently reached out an arm and wrapped it around Alice’s waist. “Let’s go.“
Then, he held her and walked right past Luna.
From beginning to end, he did not even throw a glance her way.
Standing in her spot, Luna looked at his retreating back, her heart aching in pain.
She shou1d’ve expected that he would protect Alice.
She did not even know she thought for a second that he might tell the truth and prove her innocence.
“Mr. Lynch.“
When Joshua was about to walk out of the door with his arm wrapped about Alice’s waist, a man’s clear voice rang out behind him.
The crowd looked in the direction where the voice came from. ”Master Allen?”
The man waved emotionlessly at the crowd then laughed lightly as he looked at Joshua’s retreating back, ”Your wife destroyed my painting, besides monetary compensation, doesn’t she owe me an apology?”
