Chapter 1731
The entire room fell silent when they heard this.
Still pressing Luna against the wall, for a split second, Mr. Hanson did not know how to answer Joshua’s
question.
However, at this moment, Luna’s mind was so fuzzy that she could not even comprehend what was
going on.
In her confused state, she could only hear Joshua’s voice. She gritted her teeth and said instinctively,
“Joshua…”
Because of her intoxicated state and her position against the wall, these two syllables sounded
extremely gentle and alluring.
Joshua’s expression darkened.
He stood up and strode over to Mr. Hanson. “If you still can’t come up with a way to take care o f her,
then let me take this responsibility from you.”

Joshua shoved Mr. Hanson so harshly that his entire body slammed against the edge of the table, and
with a loud grunt, the tableware crashed onto the ground.
Mr. Hanson propped himself up among the noise and snapped, “Mr. Lynch, how dare you treat me like
this?”
How dare Joshua Lynch treat him like this, considering he was the host of tonight’s dinner
party?
“What’s wrong with the way I treated you?” Joshua curled his lips into a smirk, then turned to glance at
Luna’s bright red face. A twinge of pain shot through his heart.
This stupid woman.
Did she think that as a humble jewelry designer with no experience in business, she could have
outsmarted all these deceitful businessmen?
If he had not arrived just in time, she would have been in deep trouble!
Joshua let out an exhale, pulled Luna into his arms, and turned to glance coldly at Mr. Hanson. “Did you
forget who is the most powerful man in Merchant City now?
“To bankrupt your company and render you homeless would be easier than stepping on an ant.
With that, he swept his cold glance across everyone’s faces and added in a stern voice, “Next time, you
guys should think long and hard before you lay hands on any woman and try to find out who she has
been involved with lately.”
As evervone watched in shock, Joshua picked up a feverish Luna in his arms and strode out of the room,
slamming the door shut behind him.
Everyone’s faces were etched with shock.
Harold froze for a long moment before finally smacking his forehead in realization. “The news of Luna
staying overnight at Joshua Lynch’s place had been on the news a short while ago
As soon as he thought of this, he could not help feeling even more terrified. “I had always thought it was
just a piece of fake news, but it seems that…”

The color drained from Mr. Hanson’s face when he heard this. “Does this mean that…Luna belongs to
Joshua Lynch? But the Lynch and Landry families…”
He did not even dare to finish that thought.
All of a sudden, one of the dinner guests pursed his lips in disapproval and said, “Why do you guys care
so much about a woman? We still have plenty here, don’t we?”
Harold quickly agreed, “That’s right, Hanson. We’ve been hosting this party for a long time now, and all
the women that always attended were from rich and powerful families, but nothing had ever gone wrong,
so why should we make an exception for a woman that Joshua Lynch has slept with before?”
Mr. Hanson felt a little reassured to hear this. He let out a sigh of relief and smiled. “You’re right. It wasn’t
my fault at all, and maybe that woman willingly came herself because she wanted to.”
Some of the guests started ordering their female partners to clear up the table, whereas the others
began caressing and getting steamy with their partners.
After a short while, someone knocked on the door.
The person who entered the room was a woman dressed head to toe in black, revealing only her eyes
She bowed at the guests inside the room.
