Luna’s entire body stiffened when she heard the mention of Alice’s name.After a moment, she came to a realization.Luna remembered that when Jim handed her an old photo of herself, she pretended she did not know anything because she felt uncomfortable sharing too much information with a stranger.Did that mean… his investigations led him to Alice?That must be it.It had been six years since Luna underwent plastic surgery and had her looks augmented by Malcolm.Since this man was using her old photo for his investigation, it made perfect sense that any information he could find was Alice’s.However…Luna curled her lips into a smile and said, “How Alice died has nothing to do with me. Besides, I don’t think I need to tell you anything.”Luna’s nonchalant expression made Jim frown. He stared at Luna coldly and sneered, “I just wanted to remind you, that if Alice’s death was related to you…”Jim’s expression darkened. “Your life will be very difficult from now on.”With that,
“Nellie was right; I do nag all the time!”Neil hugged Luna and cried for a very long time. When he finally let go of her, he turned to hug Theo. “Uncle Theo…”Neil thought Theo was just one of the servants who worked for Aura back then. It was only after he regained his memories that he realized…Theo was a talented artist.The only reason he had managed to survive the explosion was that Theo had shielded him with his body…Neil hugged Theo and wept for a good while.If it were not for Theo, he would not even be standing here.Theo could not help curling his lips into a smile when he saw Neil crying in his arms. He squatted and wiped away the tears on Neil’s face. “The only thing that stopped me from leaving Banyan City was worrying about you. I’m glad that you’ve regained your old memories.”Theo hugged Neil softly and added, “I have to go now, though. My parents are already waiting for me at the airport.”Neil’s eyes widened in shock, and tears continued to trickle down his f
‘They’ wanted to bring her back?Luna frowned as she gripped her phone tightly. “Malcolm, please be clear. Who’s going to bring me back? And bring me where?”Just as Luna finished her sentence—Thunk! A loud noise came from the back of the car.The huge impact pushed Luna forward, and she hit her head against the front seat.Luna’s vision went blank, and she passed out immediately.By the time she finally came to, she discovered she was already on a plane. The turbulence made the plane shake and wobble as it soared through the air.Luna opened her eyes. A man in a black suit was sitting across from her. The man had beautiful eyes, and at this moment, he was laying against the sofa, swiveling a glass of red wine gracefully.Luna frowned and sat up in her seat. “Hunter?”The man enjoying his glass of red wine was none other than the second heir of the Quinn family, Malcolm’s cousin, Hunter.Seeing that Luna had awoken, Hunter chuckled and put down the wine glass. He swept his i
There had been a serious accident that occurred on the Ring Road of Merchant City.A van had crashed into a sports car, and the van driver had suffered an instantaneous death. The driver of the sports car managed to survive, but his spinal cord had been compressed during the accident, which left him paralyzed from the waist down, and there were varying degrees of injuries all over his body as well.The driver of the sports car…was none other than Malcolm.Luna gripped the tablet tightly. She felt a twinge of pain shoot through her heart as she looked at the photo of Malcolm carried out of the remnants, covered in blood.Hunter glanced at Luna and said, a cold smile playing on his lips. “I was right, wasn’t I? Malcolm is now a cripple.”He sneered as he continued, “Granny said that even though Malcolm is now disabled, you still have to hold up to your end of the promise with the Quinn family, so she sent me here to capture you and bring you home to marry him.“Malcolm tried to sto
Joshua’s expression darkened as he gripped the badge tightly in his hand.The Landry family.If he remembered correctly, the boy who had spoken up at Adrian’s share-reallocation ceremony was none other than Jim Landry’s son!Jim Landry had already been in Banyan City for a while, but during this time, he did not contact Aura at all, nor did he do anything bad to the Lynch family.Because of this, Joshua had thought that Jim was simply here to find the woman he wanted, as he claimed.However…Not only did the Landry family kill Granny Lynch, but they were taking it a step further and kidnapped Luna!Joshua gazed at the distance with a cold expression. “Lucas, prep the private plane. We’re going to Merchant City in Y Country!”Lucas paused for a moment, then approached Joshua and said in a low voice, “Sir, are you…sure you want to go to Merchant City by yourself?“Merchant City is the Landry family and the Quinn family’s territory. Because of your Granny’s instructions, Lynch Gr
“Besides…” Jim gazed in the direction in front of him. “What your Granny told you may not have been true. Just like what Joshua Lynch’s Granny told him may not have been true either.”With that, he stopped in his tracks and turned to glance at Harvey. “I’ve booked tonight’s flight back home to Merchant City. We’ve been out here for long enough, and I’ve spent enough time helping you find clues, but since we can’t find anything, I suggest you stop whining and asking for your mother in the future.”Harvey pouted and lowered his head in disappointment but did not say anything.His Mommy…When was she going to appear?…The Quinn family’s private plane landed at the airport in the evening.Luna got down from the plane and took out her phone. Before she could call Joshua, however, Hunter snatched her phone away.He crossed his legs as he sat in the car’s backseat and smiled, gripping Luna’s phone. “Why did you take out your phone so soon? Are you trying to contact Joshua and ask him
As soon as she heard Malcolm’s voice, a twinge of guilt seeped through Luna’s heart.She could not believe that Malcolm still thought of her, even in a time like this, while she…did not even know about his accident.Malcolm furrowed his brows and turned around somewhat frustratedly, puzzled as to why ‘Lorraine’ was not answering him. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”As soon as his gaze landed on the woman standing behind him, Malcolm’s pupils dilated.Seeing how astounded Malcolm looked, Luna approached him and smiled. “I’m back, Malcolm.”Malcolm remained silent for a moment, then said somewhat helplessly, “I called to warn you so you could escape, but you—”Finally, he let out a sigh and said, a hint of pity and reproach in his tone, “Why didn’t you escape? You should’ve known that if they managed to capture you, they'd force you to marry me.“I’m now a cripple. Now that you’ve returned, I’m not even capable of sending you back home anymore…”As soon as she heard this, Luna
“Do you think your precious Joshua Lynch will be any different?”With that, he hung up the phone.Luna bit her lower lip as she gripped the phone tightly in her hand.Malcolm noticed that she had finished calling and wheeled himself over with a frown. “How was it?” he asked in a low voice. “Did you manage to reach him?”Luna shook her head. Quinn Mansion was a well-guarded place, and she knew she could not possibly escape.At the same time, she could not get in touch with Joshua in Banyan City either.All of a sudden, she recalled Gwen and Luke. They were in Sea City, so she could definitely reach them there, but…Her phone had been disposed of, and she could not remember their numbers.“Don’t worry.” Malcolm reached out to grab hold of Luna’s hand gently, seeing how upset she was. “We can find the contact number of Luke’s company in Sea City and call that instead.”Luna thought this was a good idea, so she quickly found the number of Luke’s hotel in Sea City.However, the
