"I brought you all the way from Lincoln City to help me settle this, and how dare you disappear? What's going on with Luna? Has she been raped yet? If you think it's necessary, you can take a video to document it. You hear me?"Jim narrowed his eyes as he listened to the familiar voice on the other end, and his knuckles turned white as he gripped the phone tightly. "I hear you."Heather could not help frowning when she heard the man's voice.Was she hearing things? For some reason, she felt that this voice was not the same as Harris' and even sounded a bit familiar."Heather Landry," Jim's angry voice rang out from the other end of the line. "The Landry family has raised you for more than twenty years; is this how you treat our daughter? Even a wolf is kinder and more loyal than you!"Heather's entire body stiffened when she heard Jim's voice.Her phone fell to the ground with a thud.Jim's voice continued to ring out, "I won't forgive you for what happened tonight. Whatever you
The next morning, Luna was awoken by the sunlight seeping through the window and the sound of birds chirping.She let out a stretch and crawled out of bed.To her surprise, the first thing she saw was not her familiar bedroom, but instead, a room decorated in minimalistic black and white.Luna felt her brain pause as she stared at the scene before her.Where was this place?Why did this room seem like…Joshua's?Luna rubbed her brows in frustration and suddenly recalled what had happened the night before.She…She and Joshua…Luna immediately lowered her head.She was stark-naked, and the entire bedroom was messy and unkempt.All of this seemed to be telling her just how crazed her night with Joshua had been. Luna froze for a few seconds before finally recalling…She had been brought into this room by Joshua last night. Luna laid back on the bed in regret. Last night, in her half-conscious state, she and Joshua had…However, with her rationality returning, she felt hu
Luna bit her lip and turned her head away, afraid to meet his gaze. "I…I don't remember anything. I was just talking nonsense…"Joshua did not feel like exposing her, so he continued ladling the oatmeal into a bowl as he said, "Well, it's not like remembering it would be a bad thing either. It might be a good memory to keep."With that, he let out a sigh and placed the oatmeal on the dining table. "However, since you remember what happened last night, you'd know that you exerted yourself a lot last night, so I suggest you eat something before you leave. Otherwise, I'm concerned you might not be able to even make it out of the house."Luna bit her lip and glanced at her trembling legs. Finally, she let out a sigh and strode toward the dining table.Joshua had prepared all the food that she liked.Luna sat down across from him rather sheepishly and started eating her oatmeal.She wanted to finish it as quickly as she could and leave this place as soon as possible. However, at thi
Luna glanced at the man sitting lazily on the sofa like a proud peacock. "Your new girlfriend?"Joshua did not want to reveal anything to her. "Make a guess."Luna did not feel like guessing at all. Even though she had slept with him the night before, she knew that there was no future between them anymore, so why did it matter to her whether Joshua had a new girlfriend or not?Therefore, Luna furrowed her brows and asked, "Do you need me to hide?"Joshua stared at her impassively. "What do you think?"Luna rolled her eyes at him.She did not feel like hiding at all. On the one hand, she had no intention of remaining at Joshua's place any longer, and on the other hand, if she had to hide, this meant that she would be forced to listen to their conversation.She was in no mood to listen to what Joshua and his new girlfriend talked about. As soon as she thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and opened the door.Outside the door, a woman with a full face of makeup was calling ou
Joshua was acting coldly toward her and even told her to bring the food home and eat it herself.No matter how oblivious Cheryl was, she knew she had misunderstood Joshua's intentions.However, she did not want to give up on this opportunity.Therefore, she let out an exhale and said, trying to counter Joshua's domineering aura, "President Lynch, you told me to buy two portions of food, and I…I can't finish it myself. Can you…""You can share it with your friend or throw it away if you want." Joshua reached out to pick up the newspaper from the table and added, "Take the trash out when you leave as well."Cheryl's fingers curled tightly around the handle of the takeaway bag. "Alright then…I'll be off now. Take care, President Lynch."With that, she glanced at Joshua once more with a look of reluctance.At this moment, he was reading the newspaper, his legs crossed elegantly.This man was attractive no matter which angle one looked at him, but despite being his secretary for six
Seeing that Luna had turned to look at her, Cheryl grew even more outrageous. She sneered as she stared back at Luna. "I said you must be one of the top prostitutes they have."Cheryl knew that Luna was not a hooker, judging from the way she carried herself, as well as her taste in fashion.On top of that, Joshua was not a man who would hook up with random women at all. However, Cheryl had just received news from Lucas that she would be transferred to another department on the pretense of giving her a raise…She knew that the reason Joshua did not want her to continue working as his secretary was all because of this woman!As soon as she saw Luna trying to hail a taxi, a furious Cheryl could not pass on the opportunity to release her anger, so she became even more snarky. "I guess you must charge a lot for your services, don't you? If so, what are you doing here, trying to hail a taxi? Is it because you tried to advance on President Lynch because of how attractive he is?"Luna n
"She had appeared just at the right time, so I got into a fight with her so that I'd be brought to the police station where you can take me home."Jim stared at her with a dubious look. "Is that true?"Luna reached into her pocket. "Of course it is."As soon as she finished her sentence, she felt something in her pocket.She pulled her hand out and realized it was a stack of brand-new dollar bills.Jim glanced at the stack of money in Luna's hand meaningfully and remarked, "You said you deliberately got into a fight so that you'd be sent to the police station because you didn't have money with you?"Luna furrowed her brows and suddenly realized she could not explain herself anymore.However…She had not checked her pocket at all, since knowing this was a brand-new dress, she thought that there would not be anything in the pockets.Luna never expected Joshua to be this considerate and detail-oriented to prepare money for her.As soon as she thought of this, she turned to glanc
Jim sent Luna home. On their journey there, Jim described everything that had happened after she was kidnapped to her and handed her the phone that she had lost along with the location of the hospital Caleb was in.Luna took the phone from him and sent Caleb a text asking him how he was doing and said that she would visit him in the afternoon.Even though she had just met Caleb the night before, the two of them were like long-lost friends.On top of that, he had been kidnapped and gotten hurt because of her.Caleb thought he was the one that had dragged Luna into this, but it was the other way around.Luna set down the phone and was about to continue chatting with Jim when she realized the car had already arrived at her house.Parked outside the gate was a very flashy Ferrare.Both Luna and Jim recognized this car.This was the car that Charles and Rosalyn had gifted Heather for her 20th birthday, and she would drive this car every time she needed to show up at any important
