Luna's entire body froze when she heard this, as though she had been struck by lightning.How could this…Seeing that Luna was a little dubious, Theo quickly played the recording of the phone call with Gwen."Please help me!" Gwen's weak voice rang out from the other end of the line as soon as he pressed play. "Theo, please save me… I think I might die soon…"Luke knew that I wasn't feeling well yesterday, and even after seeing me bleed, he didn't stop at all and instead left after tossing me two anti-bleeding tablets…"I have no way of communicating with the outside world. I only managed to call you after the chef took pity on me and lent me her phone for a few minutes…"I'm going to die soon… The guards said that without Luke's orders, they weren't allowed to release me, even if I'm about to die soon, and now they can't get in touch with him at all…"Suddenly, a man's voice rang out, "Ms. Larson, you're not allowed to communicate with the outside world. Hand me the phone right
Luna bit her lip and, for a split second, did not know how to answer.In the past, Joshua was her lover, the father of her children.She did not need a reason to ask him for help, nor did she have to answer to "Why should I."Alas, their relationship was no longer the same as before.Joshua was the mortal enemy of the Landry family, and she was the heiress of the Landry family.He was the CEO of Lynch Group, and she was the CEO of Landry Group.The two of them had become members of opposing teams; they were rivals.It was already a miracle that the two of them did not fight as soon as they laid eyes on each other, but at this moment, Luna was asking him to help her.Why should he?Why should he help his mortal enemy?He was a businessman, and he would not do something unless it brought him benefits.However, to save Gwen, they had to race against time.Luna bit her lip and lifted her head to stare at Joshua. "Because I slept with you last night. Is that a good enough reason
"Alright, I'll ask her now."With that, Joshua hung up the phone.He glanced coldly at the three gobsmacked people before him as a sneer played on his lips.He had already sent Lucas to save Gwen when he overheard the recording Theo had played for Luna.Lucas was familiar with all of Luke's hideouts in Merchant City.Joshua had only asked Luna for something in return to mess with her, but he did not expect that she would use her body as leverage to negotiate with him.What did she think of herself?What kind of person did she think he was?"I'll go find Dr. Liddell." Jim was the first one to snap out of his stupor.He let out an exhale and scurried away.Luna stared dazedly at the man standing before her.She never thought that Joshua would have…sent his men to save Gwen even before she asked him for help.Did this mean that…he had been eavesdropping on their conversation all this while?She bit her lip and clenched her fists.Compared to Joshua's attitude, her behavior w
"Nothing happened?"Luna seemed to recall someone at the dinner party saying that she had to have sex with someone to counter the drug's effects.If Joshua had not slept with her, then why was she awake?Not only that, but how would Theo know if anything happened between them at all?Theo gulped when he saw the confusion in Luna's eyes.After all, this was the woman he used to love, so it was extremely difficult for him to expose Luna like this.After all, Luna had just claimed that she and Joshua had slept together and was even using this to negotiate with him, but at this moment, he had to tell Luna she was wrong right to her face.However…The truth could not be changed.Theo let out an exhale and explained, "I've been staying at Joshua's place ever since I moved out from your house."Because of this, I was there when he brought you home last night, and I witnessed everything that happened."Luna's entire body froze when she heard this. "When you said you were staying wit
Despite knowing that Gwen had been saved, Luna and Theo were still worried about her.Gwen's condition on top of the contract signing with Mr. Hanson were both factors that propelled Luna to get back to Merchant City as soon as she could.Therefore, she had no choice but to suggest this to Jim.Before leaving, the both of them went to Rosalyn's room to check on them once more.Charles was still clutching Rosalyn's hand, muttering the same things as before.He had never stopped, not even for a minute.Despite the fact that he was starting to foam at the edges of his mouth, he still continued uttering the same words over and over.One of the assistants handed him a glass of water, but he spilled it without even bothering to take a sip, accusing the assistant of wanting to drown Rosalyn.Seeing this, Jim had no choice but to instruct Dr. Rachel to take meticulous care of his parents while they were gone."Don't worry." Dr. Rachel smiled. "You're Theo's friends, and not only that,
However, Joshua said that he could not let go of Luna…A split second later, Caleb let out a sigh. "Thank God I'm not interested in women."Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and put down his cup gracefully. "Just think of me as a stubborn person if you'd like."All you have to do is help me investigate this man named Quentin Simms."Why would this man claim to be Rosalyn's brother? How did he become Granny Quinn's godson?Even after using all his connections, the only thing Lucas could find out about this man was that, like Rosalyn, he was originally from Lincoln City.Therefore, finding out about his early life would maybe make things clearer."Alright, I'll help you."…When Luna, Jim, and Theo arrived back at Merchant City, it was already noon.Charlotte kept calling her repeatedly while Luna was in the car, and because she was with Jim, Luna did not dare to pick up at all. Instead, she had to get by by claiming this was a harassment call and text Charlotte back instead.
The assistant was right; the woman who was talking to Luna in the video was wearing so many layers of clothes that her face could not be recognized at all.However, Jim was more than familiar with her frame.This was the woman he used to treasure with all his heart, so how could he possibly forget?Not only that, but he also recognized the woman standing next to her, whom the assistant was trying to identify.Roanne.Charlotte's younger sister, who had been working for Charlotte as an assistant for many years.The two of them were inseparable.Jim could not help feeling outraged when he saw the obedient and meek look on Luna's face as she talked to Charlotte.It was no wonder why Luna, a woman who was skilled in jewelry design but had absolutely no experience running a business, would suddenly become so daring and even ordered for her house to be demolished.No wonder Luna had successfully won over Mr. Hanson's business.It turned out Charlotte was the mastermind behind all t
"The reason why Luna had been released from jail so quickly was Charlotte's doing too."She's just using Luna to get what she wants, and as for her ultimate goal, I'm sure you have a better idea than I do."Jim gripped his phone tightly.Many years ago, he was utterly disappointed in Charlotte's actions, but at the same time, he was the closest person to her and was even engaged to her at that time.Because of this, he could not bring himself to break his promise to her and was stuck in a dilemma.Finally, it was Charles who had stood up for him and exposed Charlotte's lies, and even sent Heather to chase Charlotte out of Merchant City.However, at this moment, Charlotte had returned as soon as Heather was kicked out of the family.It was clear what she wanted.Charlotte had thought that as long as Heather was out of the picture, Jim would forgive her and get back together with her after she helped the Landry family through their rough patch."Jim, you and Father are both gent
