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
Dr. Rachel curled her lips into a mischievous smile. "We were talking about how you're still a virgin."Theo's face blushed scarlet when he heard this. He turned his head away and refused to give Dr. Rachel a second glance. "Well, if there's nothing else…we should hang up now. I have to go to bed soon."With that, he hung up the call as quick as lightning.On the other end of the line, Dr. Rachel could not help curling her lips into a smirk when the screen went dark."Still a virgin, huh?" she muttered under her breath, smiling."Dr. Liddell." All of a sudden, her assistant knocked on the door. "There's a man from Merchant City outside who claims to be a relative of Rosalyn's. He says his name is Quentin and wants to see her."Dr. Rachel furrowed her brows.A man was here to see Rosalyn?The only family of Rosalyn's that she knew of were Charles, Jim, and Luna, so where did this Quentin guy come from?Dr. Rachel followed the assistant out of the room, her mind filled with ques
Quentin did not answer Dr. Rachel's question at all.After the assistant finished checking him, he changed into his sterile gown and bowed to Dr. Rachel. "Thank you, Dr. Liddell."With that, he entered Rosalyn's room under the guidance of the assistants.All the while, Dr. Rachel felt like this man was rather ominous.Therefore, as soon as Quentin entered the room, she went into the control room to stare at the security footage of Rosalyn's room.After all, Rosalyn was in a vegetative state, and even if Quentin did not have anything dangerous with him, he could still kill her with his bare hands.As soon as she thought of this, Dr. Rachel could not help regretting her decision of letting him in after being swayed by his seemingly sincere attitude.What was she supposed to tell Luna and Theo if something were to happen to Rosalyn?The door to Rosalyn's room was opened, and the assistants ushered Quentin into the room.The first thing he did after entering was to locate the surv
"Luna…might not be able to get the phone right now.""Anyone else from the Landry family is fine! Get Charles or Jim!"Dr. Rachel anxiously persisted as she tried to correct the disturbances in Rosalyn's vital signs, "Especially Charles! Get him to call here, or better yet, get him to come to Lincoln City right away! Rosalyn isn't going to make it!"Theo's entire body froze when he heard this. "How could this be?""Just now, a man claiming to be Rosalyn's brother arrived to see her and said some stuff to her that led to her condition deteriorating."Never had Dr. Rachel thought that this man named Quentin would be able to destroy Rosalyn's will to survive just with a few sentences.After all, this was a mature, level-headed woman in her mid-fifties. Apart from the fact that she could not speak or move, she still maintained her consciousness and was still capable of thinking for herself.This was the first time Dr. Rachel discovered that it only took ten minutes to destroy an adu
