With that, she glanced at Heather. "Heather, why do you keep directing the topic over to my and Joshua's past relationship whenever I want to investigate the truth? Are you trying to stop me from investigating this?"Are you hiding something? Is there something that you don't want me to know?"Heather immediately fell silent upon hearing this. She pursed her lips and rolled her eyes. "I just didn't want you and Joshua to get back together…""We won't." Luna curled her lips into a smirk. "From the moment I chose to return to the Landry family and became the daughter of Joshua Lynch's worst enemy, he and I will never get back together again."With that, she turned to stare at Dr. Greg and said, enunciating her words carefully, "Dr. Greg, let me explain this situation to you. We are from the Quinn, Landry, as well as the Lynch families, the biggest company in Merchant City."If your lie is exposed, then you will get in trouble with all of us from these three families."Dr. Greg paus
Luna stared at the kneeling servant in shock. "Vivian, you…"Vivian was her most trusted servant and had been taking care of Rosalyn for the past six months. The care she provided was so meticulous and gentle that she won Luna's adoration.Previously, she was the one who had claimed that all of them had accepted Joshua's bribe, which was why they did not inform her of Joshua's prior arrival, but all of a sudden…Luna furrowed her brows and took a step back. "What's going on, Vivian?"Vivian lifted her head, and, seeing that Luke and his men had already entered the hostel, bit her lips. "Ms. Luna, can you tell them not to…search my room?"I've already hidden the ointment underneath my pillow; I can go bring it out myself."With that, she got up from the ground and stormed hurriedly toward the servant's quarters.She had only taken two steps when Joshua stopped her. He lifted his hand to block her way and said, smirking, "Since you've already admitted to Luna that you were the one
The more desperate she was, the more interested Luke grew toward the contents of the recording device. He curled his lips into a smirk and switched it on. The sound of rain falling rang out of the recording device.Luke listened for a while more. There seemed to be nothing else apart from the sound of raindrops. Therefore, Luke tossed the recording device to Joshua and continued to rummage around the rest of the items. The children's clothes inside Vivian's chest were none other than the ones Luna had seen previously, thinking that she was hallucinating due to immense grief. As for the strands of hair inside the bags, as well as the bottles of blood…"Those hairs belong to Ms. Luna, and the ones with bloodstains on them…belonged to Ms. Luna's dead baby. The bottles also contain blood belonging to both of them," Vivian explained. "It…it was because Mr. Lynch didn't believe that the child who died was his, so he ordered me to—""Are you still trying to frame me at a time like
The color drained from Vivian's face as soon as she heard this. She bit her lip and lowered her head in defeat. "I…"Finally, Vivian let out an exhale and kneeled in front of Luna, coming clean with the truth, "Joshua Lynch wasn't the one who had sent me here."I was assigned to work here by Mr. Malcolm Quinn. When Master Landry was interviewing the candidates for the servant that would be working for you, Master Quinn ordered me to interview as well, and I managed to get in."Everything that I have done during this time was under Master Quinn and Ms. Heather's orders."Master Quinn was the one who had told me to prepare the baby and Ms. Luna's blood and hairs. He said that…"Slumped on the ground, Vivian shot Malcolm a timid glance, then finally lowered her head and said with an exhale, "He said that he was worried Joshua Lynch would take the baby away after it was born and that no one would be able to find it again, so he ordered me to collect the baby's hairs and blood as soon
She was not even 30 yet; she did not want that to happen to her!Luna kicked her away and stared at Vivian's face from her towering height. "Why can't we do that to you, considering that was exactly what you did to my mother?"She would never understand the severity of her actions unless she experienced the same kind of pain Rosalyn had gone through!Seeing that not even Luna was willing to protect her anymore, distress and helplessness clouded Vivian's eyes. At this moment, Luke's men had approached her and grabbed hold of each of her arms. Vivian knew better than anyone how cruel and merciless Luke's men were. She knew that if they took her away, she would have no choice but to suffer as Luke had planned, letting her skin decay for 12 hours and that she would not have any way of escaping!As soon as she thought of this, Vivian let out an exhale and used the last ounce of her strength to release herself from the two men's grasp, then sprinted to Luna's side.She kneeled befor
"It was a sniper, and the bullet had come from the mountain located in the southeastern direction. From my judgment, the sniper was located very far away, and we can't possibly catch up with him," said one of Luke's men in a low voice."Because we had rushed here without warning, and because we had decided to come to this desolate place at such a rushed notice, none of us managed to prepare the protective gear needed, and no one realized that a sniper was aiming at her."He was saying this not just to Luke, but to Luna as well.Luna held Vivian's body close to her and lifted her head to glare at Malcolm. She had a feeling that Vivian's death had something to do with Malcolm.Malcolm narrowed his eyes when he felt Luna's gaze on him.Fortunately, he had known that Vivian could not be trusted, and when Joshua first appeared, he had already contacted his sniper to get in place. Otherwise, even the last chess piece in his game would be exposed tonight!However, when faced with Lu
Luke curled his lips into a smirk and stared at the woman struggling in his arms. Then, he picked her up and strode toward his car. One of his men quickly picked up what he was trying to do and opened the car door. Luke tossed Gwen into the backseat, then got into the car himself. The door closed after them. A short distance away, Jim could still hear Gwen's cries and protests from within the car. For some reason, he suddenly recalled Bonnie. Bonnie, the woman who loved wearing red, and was far more adept at scolding people than taking care of a child. When she realized the child had fallen sick, she had even gone out into the rain and caught a cold herself. This woman was in her twenties, but sometimes, she would behave so erratically it was as though she was more childish than June."Let's go home now," said Heather in a low voice next to Malcolm's ear when she saw Jim watching Luke's car leave. "Let's leave while he's distracted…"Malcolm nodded and put his arm aroun
When Luna and Joshua arrived at the cherry blossom tree, it was already 2 a.m.Lucas and his men used gigantic flashlights to illuminate the night for the two of them.Initially, Joshua had wanted to use a shovel, but he suddenly recalled that the child they buried underneath the tree did not have a casket and that the shovel might accidentally destroy the child's corpse. Therefore, in the end, he asked Lucas to find them a small spade instead. It was in the middle of the night, so Lucas had no choice but to send the men out to search for a spade nearby.However, after Lucas left, Joshua turned around to discover that Luna had already kneeled on the ground and started digging the grave with her bare hands.A twinge of pain shot through Joshua's eyes as he watched her scrawny figure as well as her hands that possessed only nine fingers digging in the dirt. He let out an exhale and quickly strode over to grab hold of her soiled hands.Her hands were so soft that after only a few m
