Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 48

Although she did not know why the records would show the company’s account instead of hers, no matter what, she has won!

Luna was just a lowly maid. How dare she try to go up against her? She clearly overestimated her abilities!
“Aura, “ Joshua said in a low voice, which brought Aura back to the moment.
She dimmed the arrogance in her eyes and looked at Joshua obediently. Her voice sounded gentle and humble. “Joshua, what is it?“
Joshua was aloof toward her enthusiasm.

After a while, he looked at her. “I do not wish for this to happen again. You’d better watch it.“
Then, he strode and left. Behind him, Lucas looked at Aura closely before turning around and following after Joshua.
“Lucas. “ Back in the car, Joshua was leaning in the backseat. His long, slender fingers were gently rubbing the middle of his brows.
“How long have you been working for me?“
Lucas hesitated for a while. He smiled and said while starting the car, “Sir, about six years already.“
“Hmm.“ Joshua leaned back and closed his eyes. “I remember that you have a girlfriend, right?“
“Yes.“ At the mention of his girlfriend, Lucas has much to say about her. “We were university mates. We have been together for almost eight years already. We recently started talking about marriage.“
“In that case, she should not be your girlfriend but your fiancée.“

Then, Jason smiled coldly and said, “So, does your fiancée know…that you like Aura so much?“
Screech!
Lucas almost swerved the car sideways at Joshua’s words.
In a state of shock, Lucas stopped the car by the side of the road. He looked at Joshua from the rearview mirror with a pale look. “Sir, I…“
“Was it really the company that transferred the money to the spammers’ syndicate?“
Joshua did not even open his eyes. His voice was light, but it landed heavily on Lucas.
“I’m sorry.“ Lucas gritted his teeth. He knew that he would not be able to hide this from Joshua. He lowered his head guiltily. “Please let me explain.“
Joshua opened his eyes and looked at Lucas in the eyes sharply. That look made Lucas’s heart tremble with fear.
He took a deep breath and looked at Joshua. “I was helping Ms. Gibson because I pity her.“
“You pity her?“
“Ms. Gibson is your fiancée.“ Lucas sighed. “If it were not for desperation, why would she, your fiancée, be so apprehensive toward a maid? She even had to spread rumors to get rid of the maid?“
Joshua looked at Lucas in the rearview mirror and smiled aloofly. “She is being paranoid, yet she still wants to blame others.”
“Sir, you do not give her enough sense of security. “
Facing his cold glares, Lucas braced himself and continued, “Also, Sir, do you not realize? Ever since Ms. Nellie has returned to Blue Bay Villa and Luna started taking care of her, your attitude towards Ms. Gibson has made a one-hundred-eighty degree turn.
“Sometimes, I even feel that your treatment toward Luna, a maid that you have only known not long ago, is much better compared to how you treat Aura, your fiancée.”
Then, he hesitated. “Sir, don’t you think that you are a little too nice to Luna? None of the other maids in Blue Bay Villa has ever been treated this way.”
Joshua raised his eyebrows. “Is that so?”
