"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
Luna and Mr. Hanson's contract signing was a successful one.In order to showcase Luna's efficiency, Charlotte had even employed some reporters from a few major news outlets to help photograph the entire ceremony.This was Luna's first time attending something like this, and even though she did not look scared, she was secretly very nervous.When standing next to Mr. Hanson, smiling for the cameras, she had even inched a little further away from him.She could not forget what had happened last night at all.However, to Luna's surprise, Mr. Hanson snorted in laughter when he saw this. "I should be the one trying to get away from you. After all, you're clearly the more heartless, more deceitful one of us two."What are you trying to do, moving away from me like this? Are you trying to get the reporters to write up an article about this, so people will think I'm a pervert?"Mr. Hanson lowered his voice and said in a voice so soft it was only audible to the two of them, "Still, I st
Therefore, Luna walked over to Charlotte's side carefully."Don't you dare use this to threaten me, Heather," Charlotte's frustrated voice rang out as soon as Luna got closer. "Those were just some words I said to you to get on your good side, and I introduced him to you without any intentions at all."As for everything you did after that, it was nothing to do with me at all, so don't you dare try to bring me down with you!"As soon as she finished her sentence, Charlotte hung up the phone angrily.The first thing she saw when she turned around was Luna, who stood behind her.A glimmer of nervousness flashed through her eyes.However, a split second later, she regained her composure and stuffed her phone back into her pocket. "Have you removed your makeup? Is the ceremony over?"Luna murmured in agreement and said, "I've already sent the secretary to bring the contract back to the office.""That's good." Charlotte let out an exhale and glanced at Luna. "Didn't you say you wante
However, Charlotte did not seem bothered at all when faced with Luna's anger.She had already planned out an excuse for this before Luna returned to Merchant City.Seeing how outraged Luna was, Charlotte let out a sigh and walked over to grab hold of Luna's hand. "Don't be angry; listen to me."Luna flung her hand away and took a small step back. "I'm listening."Charlotte let out an exhale and said, "It's not that I didn't care about you at all. I was just worried that if you had known, you wouldn't have been able to act naturally, so I chose not to tell you about the party last night. As for ignoring your cries of help…"Charlotte sighed and explained, "I don't know if you noticed this, but no one at that party last night was on their phones."The reason being, Mr. Hanson had installed a signal blocking device in that room, and even though we were using the best communication devices, it was only sufficient to ensure temporary communication, and any signal after that was blocke
