Chapter 1710

Author: Inked Snow
Visitors were not allowed at night, but the woman emanated such a terrifyingly sinister aura that the police on duty made an exception for her and let her in.

Luna was awoken from her sleep.

She could not stop asking the prison guard who the visitor was as she followed her out of the cell.

However, the prison guard could not offer her any information apart from the visitor's gender. The visitor was a woman.

Luna furrowed her brows, thinking it was Gwen.

To her surprise, it was a strange woman dressed entirely in black and wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Luna entered the visitation room, frowning, and sat down across from the woman. "You are…"

"Let me introduce myself." The woman lifted her head to smile at Luna. "My name is Charlotte Jacobs, I'm about the same age as you, and I was your brother Jim's first girlfriend."

Luna widened her eyes in shock.

Jim's…first girlfriend?

How did she not know that Jim had ever had a girlfriend before?

Ever since she returned to the Landry fa

    The entire room fell silent.Luna stared at the woman before her, whom half of her face had been destroyed. "What are your conditions?"All she wanted was to get out of jail.However, Luna knew fully well that she would never be released unless Joshua changed his mind.Even though she was in jail, she was still protected by the four female bodyguards whom he had sent in, and she could not have her freedom from him, even in prison.If Charlotte's condition was not too outrageous, what was the harm of agreeing to it?"My condition is that after you're released from jail and take over Landry Group as CEO, you have to hire me as your secretary or assistant. As for everything you do, including strategies of running the company, you'll have to listen to what I say."Luna furrowed her brows and stared at Charlotte with a puzzled look. She had thought that…Charlotte would want her to help bring her and Jim together again.However, it turned out her only request was this.Charlotte smi

    Maybe, as Bonnie's friend, Luna should not have let Charlotte stay at all, but…There were just some things that could not be avoided at all.She did not want Bonnie to avoid her problems just as she had done in the past, which ended up forcing both her relationships and marriage into deep trouble.Because of Charlotte's sudden visit, Luna could not fall asleep at all and instead tossed and turned the entire night.Luna only managed to take a short nap as dawn neared.She was woken by the prison guard at 6 a.m. and sent to freshen up, eat breakfast, and let out into the exercise yard.After running in circles on the field for a while, the prison guard stopped her, claiming that another woman had come to visit her.Luna was sure it would be Gwen this time, but to her surprise, it was the last person she wanted to see.Heather."What are you doing here?" Luna narrowed her eyes, staring at the woman who was only a table apart from her, and said, sneering, "Are you here to jeer at

    Luna immediately frowned when she heard this. She stared at Heather and asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you mean? Are you saying that the person who dug my child's grave…was Joshua?""Of course." Heather crossed her arms in front of her chest and gazed at Luna impassively. "Otherwise, who else would be interested in your dead child?"Luna bit her lip and suddenly recalled the scene where she had been desperately digging in the dirt, trying to find her child's corpse that night.At that time, Joshua did not seem as frantic as she did and had even calmly ordered Lucas to find a shovel for him.At that time, Luna did not overthink this at all, but at this point, his behavior seemed…Seeing that Luna had lapsed into silence, Heather knew she had fallen for her trick.She curled her lips into a smirk, took out her phone, and found the security footage of Joshua heading to the DNA Diagnostic Center.She had ordered someone to change the date displayed on the footage, of course, so i

    Was Joshua starting to treat her as his foe?Seeing that Luna was about to break down, Heather let out a sigh and decided to tell her an even more shocking piece of news. "Still, you can't blame Joshua for not trusting you, Luna."She took out a lab report from her pocket and placed it on the table between them. "Look, the child that you and Joshua had buried doesn't belong to him, after all."Luna's entire body stiffened.She picked up the lab report with shaking hands.It was clearly written that the two DNA samples showed no blood relation to each other at all.Luna's hands started to shake even harder.She recalled the servant named Vivian that had died.When Vivian died, she had told her that the child had been switched out. However, she was shot to death before she could tell her who did this and where Luna's child really was.Luna bit her lip as her emotions battled among one another.On the one hand, she was delighted to think that there was a possibility that her chi

    The entire room fell silent.Heather stared at Luna with a calm expression, but in truth, her heart was thumping in her chest.What was going on with this woman? When did she become so clever?Seeing that Heather did not reply, Luna curled her lips into a smirk. "Why aren't you saying anything? Am I right? Were you and Malcolm…the ones who had switched out my and Joshua's baby?""No, no, no, how can that be…" Heather quickly denied it and added, letting out a self-deprecating laugh, "How could we possibly have been capable of doing that?"Don't forget that I had gone into labor at the same time you did, and both Malcolm and Father were at the hospital with me, either in the hallway waiting or in the operation room with me."How could we have switched out your child while I was in labor?"Luna furrowed her brows when she heard this.Heather was right; both of them had gone into labor at the same time.On top of that, Luna herself had gone into labor only a few hours after heari

    Heather snickered. "Do you think that after I'm temporarily kicked out of the Landry family, you'll be able to make Jim take you back by sucking up to the new heiress of the Landry family?"Charlotte, you should go look at yourself in the mirror. Anyone who looks at you will be terrified at a single glance, so how dare you even think Jim would still like you?"Oh, by the way—" Heather suddenly inched closer to Charlotte's ear, grinning as though she had suddenly recalled something. "You probably don't know this, but Jim has a new girlfriend now, and she even bore him a daughter not too long ago."Heather continued in a low voice filled with contempt as she stared at Charlotte's face, "Jim's current girlfriend is Luna's best friend, and Luna was the one who had introduced them."A glimmer of malice shot through Charlotte's eyes when she heard this.Heather patted her shoulder with a small smile and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't have returned to embarrass myself.

    After hanging up the call with the chief of police, Joshua closed his eyes in exhaustion.He never expected that the case would be cracked so quickly.Even though the police had already started to investigate Hunter as the prime suspect in this murder, they still could not confirm whether he was the culprit or not just based on a fingerprint.Because the police did not want to inadvertently alert him to this, they had been investigating this in secret.Joshua thought that because of this, Luna would have to be stuck in jail for at least another week, and during this time, Jim would have managed to take care of most of the Landry Group's affairs. Therefore, she would not have to deal with these things, nor would she have to settle them herself, and instead, she could take over as CEO easily.However…Joshua rubbed his brows in frustration.Sensing Joshua's mood, Lucas quickly called off the meeting and dismissed the employees.After everyone had left, he gently closed the meetin

    Hunter bit his lip, hesitating. However, the sound of the sirens appeared to be getting closer and closer, as though the police had already arrived at the hospital entrance.Because of this, Hunter had no choice but to follow these two men.The two men brought him into the toilet, where they changed into janitor's uniforms and instructed him to squat inside a gigantic trash can. Then, they piled some garbage over him, put the lid on, and wheeled him out of the toilet.Inside the trash can, Hunter cocked his head, listening for sounds outside as he inhaled the stench of rotting garbage.After a few moments, he heard the sound of uniform footsteps, along with the voices of the police officers. "We've received a tip that Hunter Quinn is inside this hospital right now, and he probably hasn't left yet. We'll go ahead with plan A: Jackie, you'll knock on the door later and…"The sound of these police officers' voices made Hunter break out in cold sweat.Soon, the two men dressed as jan

    At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."They thus hugged once more. Minutes later…"He's gone," said Stefan.Tears kept falling.They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face. He had tears on his face as well.She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?

    The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

    It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

    Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

    When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

    Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

    This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

    Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

    Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
