When Luna came out of the hospital, Charlotte was still waiting in the car.Luna let out an exhale as she opened the door and got into the passenger seat. "Where are we going now?""Back to your place so you can pack your bags," Charlotte replied impassively as she typed on her laptop. "Since you're now the new CEO of Landry Group, you shouldn't be staying in a house on the outskirts of the city anymore."Luna fell silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.Charlotte was right. From this day onward, she would have plenty of things to take care of for Landry Group, and it would be inconvenient to continue staying outside the city.However, to Luna's surprise, when she reached her house, a few excavators were parked outside the gate, along with groups of construction workers.Luna stared at these gigantic machines and the workers, frowning. "What is…""Now that you have acquired a new and nobler status, you left too many traces of you living here in the past," Charlotte explai
The news of Luna demolishing her house to prove her determination to return to Landry Group shocked the citizens of Merchant City.This news that was plastered all over various media outlets improved the morale of the employees of Landry Group. Everyone thought that since Luna was brave enough to make this decision, she would be able to guide Landry Group through the challenges they were facing."Who taught you this? It's having quite an impressive effect on morale," Jim said, a small smile playing on his lips, as he stared at Luna when the two of them met up inside the president's office of Landry Group Tower.Meanwhile, on the sofa, Luna was texting on her phone with Charlotte as she replied, smiling, "I have a friend who's very well versed in entrepreneurship helping me."Jim curled his lips into a smirk. "Where did you meet this person? Care to introduce me to this person?"Luna shrugged. "Well, I'll introduce her to you when the timing is right."Previously, she had also wan
Initially, Luna had thought this man was someone of her age, but to her surprise…When she arrived at Lucky Den and caught sight of the man in his fifties with a beer belly and shiny, bald head, she could not help furrowing her brows.Glancing at the dress she was wearing, Luna bit her lip and said in a low voice as she pressed the earpiece in her ear. "Why is Harold Chance a middle-aged man?"Charlotte's voice sounded a little impatient as she replied on the phone, "This is the only person I could bribe into bringing you in to see Mr. Hanson."Luna, you're on a work mission, not here to fish for men, so get your mind straight!"Luna was a little uncomfortable by Charlotte's commanding tone, but since she had already arrived at Lucky Den, and Charlotte had already spent the money to bribe Harold…she had no choice but to go along with it.Luna let out an exhale and regained her composure before ambling over to Harold's side.The first thing Harold saw when he turned around was Lu
Luna's entire body stiffened when she heard Joshua's name.She bit her lip and wrung her hands underneath the table.She could not believe that…Joshua was going to attend this dinner, too."It seems that Lynch Group is trying to obtain Mr. Hanson's business too," Charlotte's voice rang out through the earpiece in Luna's ear. "Luna, you have to keep yourself composed and don't get influenced by Joshua."Your motive today is to get on Mr. Hanson's good side and become his friend."Luna bit her lip and covered her mouth with her sleeve as she whispered back, "But Mr. Hanson has already said Joshua is his new friend…"Since Joshua and Mr. Hanson had already gotten to know each other beforehand, why did she even have to try?She did not think she was capable of letting Mr. Hanson choose her over Joshua.Charlotte sneered and replied, "What's wrong? Are you scared and want to give up now?"Luna, how can you possibly become the new CEO of Landry Group if you can't even handle somethi
With that, Harold continued in a low voice, "You probably don't know this, do you?"This dinner party isn't any regular dinner party…it's an orgy where we exchange our female partners for the night."Luna jerked her head up in shock, her eyes as wide as saucers.She bit her lip and stared at Harold. "What are you saying?""I'm saying that it's naïve of you to want to conduct business with Mr. Hanson without first understanding how things usually work for us…" Harold's words were like a giant blow to Luna.She gnawed her bottom lip and quickly pressed her earpiece to communicate with Charlotte in a low voice, "Something has changed; send the people in to take me away."Luna was not an idiot. Even though she was not familiar with Mr. Hanson, she had still prepared a backup plan with Charlotte out of fear that something bad would happen at the party.Because of this, they had arranged for bodyguards to stand guard outside the restaurant, and they would storm in to save Luna if anyt
The entire room fell silent when they heard this.Still pressing Luna against the wall, for a split second, Mr. Hanson did not know how to answer Joshua's question.However, at this moment, Luna's mind was so fuzzy that she could not even comprehend what was going on.In her confused state, she could only hear Joshua's voice. She gritted her teeth and said instinctively, "Joshua…"Because of her intoxicated state and her position against the wall, these two syllables sounded extremely gentle and alluring.Joshua's expression darkened.He stood up and strode over to Mr. Hanson. "If you still can't come up with a way to take care of her, then let me take this responsibility from you."With that, he shoved Mr. Hanson away and saved Luna.Joshua shoved Mr. Hanson so harshly that his entire body slammed against the edge of the table, and with a loud grunt, the tableware crashed onto the ground.Mr. Hanson propped himself up among the noise and snapped, "Mr. Lynch, how dare you trea
"I'm with Mr. Lynch. He says that Luna left her bag behind, and so I'm here to retrieve it."The guests furrowed their eyes, glancing at the place Luna had been sitting before she left.Lo and behold, there was indeed a handbag sitting on the chair.Mr. Hanson was a little displeased by this. "Quickly retrieve it and get out of here! Close the door behind you when you leave!"The woman nodded, scampered over to retrieve Luna's bag, then left, closing the door behind her.After coming out of the booth, Charlotte removed the pinhole cameras from Luna's bag with a sneer, then took out the recording device she had placed in a hidden pocket in the bag.She had placed these items inside Luna's bag without her noticing at all.After exiting Lucky Den, Charlotte tossed the pinhole cameras and recording device to her assistant, Roanne.Roanne furrowed her brows as she started downloading the videos and audio files from these devices. "What should we do, now that Ms. Luna was taken away
As soon as he heard this, Theo quickly waved his hands in dismissal and said, "I can't possibly do that. I'm still a virgin, so I guess Mr. Lynch has to take over from here."Joshua, who was bringing the glass of water out of the kitchen, froze when he heard this.He walked over to the sofa to feed a disoriented Luna some water, frowning. "Are you saying you're still a virgin? I remember that you and Luna had at one point…"If he remembered correctly, there was one time that he and Luna had brought the children to an amusement park in Banyan City. That night, he and Luna had gotten drunk together but woke up the next day in separate rooms.At that time, he still thought that Alice was the real Luna Gibson and went to knock on Luna's door with her.The person who opened the door was Theo, which led all of them to think that Luna had slept with Theo that night.However, at this moment, Theo was saying that he had never been with a woman…Theo, too, recalled that morning when he he
