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
"The news of you attending Mr. Hanson's party with hidden cameras and recording devices will spread to the entire city, and everyone will be on guard whenever attending any social gatherings with you in the future."Luna's entire body stiffened.A long while later, she lowered her head and finally realized the severity of her actions.Everyone had weaknesses that they wanted to keep hidden from the public eye and would only reveal among trusted friends.To bring cameras and recording devices to such gatherings…was indeed a taboo.It was just like using a camera to photograph someone's design drafts when visiting their studios.However, Luna, who had no experience in doing business, never thought about the consequences of these actions.Jim's words were like a wake-up call, making her realize what she had lost despite earning Mr. Hanson's business.Not only that, but her actions could also affect Jim and the rest of Landry Group.People would remember what the CEO had done ever
When Luna and Theo arrived at Gwen's room, she was being held against the bed by an angry Luke, his hand around her neck."Luke Jones… I will…never forgive you…" Gwen's entire face had turned purple, but she still muttered the same words of hatred over and over."Luke!" Luna stormed into the room and grabbed hold of Luke's arm. "Let go of her! She hasn't recovered from her bleeding today yet. Are you trying to choke her to death?"Luke narrowed his eyes when he heard the anger in Luna's tone and let go of Gwen.Gwen slumped back onto her bed, panting heavily, and let out a cackle as she stared at the ceiling above her head. "Why did you stop him? You should've let him kill me."She continued to stare at the ceiling with a distraught look. "I'm blind. All of the men I fall in love with are worst than the last, so knowing this, is it wrong of me to want to kill myself?"She sniffed as tears slid silently down her cheek. "Even if you don't kill me, Luke, I'll one day escape from her
However, Luna did not intend to pry and instead just hugged Gwen and let her sob in her arms.Gwen's cries echoed through the entire room.Luna, too, started crying as she comforted Gwen.She had been having a hard time, too, having been faced with a man who did not love her anymore and an entirely new working environment with tasks that she had no idea how to accomplish.She had thought Charlotte was here to help her, but what happened?It turned out that Charlotte was just using her to get close to Jim and did not care about the consequences of her actions on Luna at all.She had understood every single word Jim was trying to tell her.She was just a pawn in Charlotte's game.However, who would she rely on to compete against Joshua, if not Charlotte?She was not capable of running the company at all, but she was Charles and Rosalyn's daughter, so she had to step up and take responsibility.She could not possibly give up on Landry Group after what happened to Charles and Ros
