Chapter 203
Knowing the truth would come out the moment they got back, Luna would never have backed herself into a
corner.
She wasn’t stupid-everything she said and did always left her an escape. That was why she could keep such a tight grip on the Lewis family.
At that moment, Hector yawned, took a sip of water, and chimed in on Luna’s side.
“Yeah, Simon, we didn’t know anything about Grandma being sick. Don’t get worked up.
“Mom and Dad are probably at the hospital right now. We’re exhausted-let’s just go see Grandma tomorrow p>
They’d been out all day.
If Simon hadn’t told them he’d managed to arrange a meeting with the Sinclair heir and demanded they come back, they wouldn’t have returned until the next day.
Vacations were exhausting after all.
But Simon placed his hand in front of Hector, his expression sharp. “Give me your phone p>
If Autumn was telling the truth, then Hector’s phone would have Irene’s call logged-unless Luna had deleted it.
Hector thought Simon wanted to check his spending records, that he’d found out about the millions worth of gifts he’d bought for Luna.
Panicked, he clutched his pocket and blurted out, wide-eyed, “Simon, don’t check my account, alright? I’ll just confess. I used your secondary card to buy Luna a bunch of things, but I didn’t keep track of how much.
“I promise I won’t splurge like that again. Just let me off this time p>
He didn’t have much money of his own, but if Luna wanted something, he always found a way to get it for her. She was their sister, after all.
And usually, as long as it was for Luna, Simon never questioned the expense.
So, what was happening now? Why was Simon suddenly demanding to check his accounts? Was the company in financial trouble?
That didn’t seem right.
Or was Simon just looking for an excuse to beat him down?
Luna stepped toward Hector, her voice soft and frail.
“Simon, it’s my fault. I was the one who begged him to buy me those things. Don’t blame Hector, if you want to blame someone, blame me p>
Normally, whatever she wanted, her brothers gave her without question. She truly hadn’t expected Simon to suddenly press over this.
Thinking of Autumn, a flicker of resentment crossed Luna’s heart.
Tonight’s reversal was something she never saw coming
Autumn’s sudden appearance had shattered all of their plans, and it only deepened the bias she already held against her.
Looking at her brothers standing so protective, and Luna’s own wide-eyed innocence, Simon struggled to imagine that this sister in front of him could be the one hiding such a calculating mind.
If Hector’s phone showed no calls from Irene, then he’d side with Luna and only grow more protective of her.
But if Autumn was right, Luna’s credibility with him would take a sharp fall.
With that in mind, Simon snatched Hector’s phone without warning, unlocking it with his brother’s fingerprint. Hector’s jaw dropped. His brother had actually stolen his phone-this was robbery!
He scrambled after him, trying to grab it back. “Simon, you can’t do that! You didn’t even get my permission before snooping through my phone. I’ve got a right to privacy!
“Give it back! You’re invading my personal space-that’s not okay p>
