Chapter 1764

Author: Inked Snow
Charlotte never thought that Heather had left her such a huge gift before she died!

Was Riley not the child of Heather and Malcolm?

Charlotte narrowed her eyes and took her phone out.

"Roanne, get me some bodyguards to accompany me to Heather's mansion."

If she took the child from Malcolm, she would not be afraid that Luna would disobey her.

However, Charlotte did not expect that when she, Roanne, and the bodyguards arrived at the mansion where Heather and Malcolm were staying, it was already empty.

Roanne led the men to search around the mansion, but there was no one to be found. She anxiously returned to Charlotte.

"What do we do now?"

Charlotte squinted. "Since no one is staying here, burn the building to the ground."

Were Joshua and Jim not investigating Heather's death? Well, she would give them direction, then!

Heather just died and Malcolm vanished with the child, even burning the place to the ground.

Was there not a better suspect than Malcolm?

Roanne naturally knew

    Luna looked to the side, not answering Jim's question.Looking at the scenery outside through the car window, Luna deftly changed the topic as she flatly remarked, "Jim, didn't you say that you've sent someone to investigate Heather's death? Was it truly an accident?"Jim furrowed his brows and stopped harping on the previous question."It doesn't look like a pure accident. There is usually no one in that area. Also, Merchant City has strict rules and controls on trucks. That truck shouldn't have appeared there at that time. Not only did the truck appear, but it also coincidentally crashed into Heather on such a wide road, killing her."Jim looked out of the window and added, "Looks to me that it's highly likely someone's doing. Also, no one could contact Malcolm after Heather's death. Not only did he empty the mansion that he and Heather were staying in, but he also burned it to the ground."Luna bit her lip and stayed silent for a while before saying, "Malcolm isn't a reckless p

    "We want to see Gwen, but Luke's guards are not letting us in no matter what."Theo even showed the bag in his hand to Joshua."We even brought some Sea City specialties from Gwen's home to cheer her up."Joshua swept a glance at the things in Theo's hands before laying his gaze on Luna's face."Ms. Luna, what about you? Do you need help?"Luna looked away and ignored him. After all, she was there together with Theo. If Joshua was to help Theo, that would mean helping her, too. She did not need to talk to Joshua.Looking at her rather pale side-profile, Joshua smiled. His low voice was rather provoking as he spoke, "If you don't need help, I'll just take Theo in."Joshua strode over and snatched over the bag of specialties in Luna's hand."If you're not going in, pass the things to me. I'll take Theo in."Then, Joshua walked over to the guards and pointed at Theo. "This man is my friend. Can I take him in?"The guards could not say no to Joshua due to his relationship with Lu

    Charlotte sent Luna a photo of a paternity test.Luna saw the stamp and the anti-forgery code before. It could only be from a legitimate DNA diagnostic center.Moreover, the paternity test had her name and Joshua's! Although the child's name had been covered, she could still see clearly that the child had a 99.99% match with her and Joshua!This was their child! Luna looked at the photo on her phone, and her blood froze. She bit her lip, gripping her phone so tightly as she texted Charlotte a reply.[Where did you get this from?]Charlotte seemed to have expected this question from Luna. She replied quickly.[Of course, I found your daughter and had a DNA test on her. Luna, I've said that I'll treat you as a friend. I'm being sincere. Not only did I help you find your daughter, but I have also even done a paternity test on her. Your daughter is still alive.[I never thought that you wouldn't even pick my phone up, though. I'm disappointed, Luna. It looks like I shouldn't hav

    Charlotte said in a laid-back tone, "It looks like I have to thank Heather for giving me such a huge gift before she died."If it were not for that paternity test, Charlotte did not know that she could use the missing child to threaten Luna.After finishing her red wine, Charlotte picked her phone up arrogantly and sent Luna a reply.[Sure, go do whatever you're doing. I'll wait for you at Shipwreck Cafe at 8 a.m. tomorrow. See you there.]When Luna saw the message on her phone, she could not help but let out a sigh of relief.Charlotte took the initiative to set a meeting with her, which meant that she did not plan to cut ties with her.Luna felt overwhelmed as she held her phone. Her child was still alive! Not only was she alive, but Charlotte also found her and did a paternity test!Perhaps she would be able to see her child the next day!Meanwhile, Joshua had already brought her and Theo into the living area of Luke's mansion.At that moment, Luke was sitting on the sofa,

    Joshua's words brought pin-drop silence into the room.Luna's face turned terribly pale.She did not understand; she had explained it all clearly back in Lincoln City. She already said that her trading herself for a one-night stand to get him to rescue Gwen was because she was too anxious. It was just a makeshift plan.A moment ago, when they were outside, Joshua said that she owed him twice, though she ignored it.Since when did it become, in his eyes, that she used her body to trade for things or to use her body to beg him to take her in to see Gwen? She only misspoke due to desperation for saving Gwen and offended him. Must he use it to humiliate her that way?At that thought, Luna was thankful that she did not tell Joshua about her child out of excitement in the garden a moment ago. Joshua was not worthy to know about it! "Joshua, think before you speak." Even if she was imprisoned, when Gwen heard Joshua's words, she could not help but rebuke, "No matter what, Luna was once

    When they conducted the funeral for Heather, Jim also mentioned that Joshua was starting to investigate Heather's accident.If Joshua wanted to investigate it, he would naturally go through Luke. After all, Luke was in a gang, and he would meet all sorts of people.At that thought, Luna pretended to head upstairs with Theo and Gwen while secretly eavesdropping on the conversation that went on downstairs.She heard Luke say in a deliberately suppressed tone, "The method used is indeed very similar to the accident that happened twenty years ago. Not only did the truck appear at the wrong time and place, but even the model of the truck was also the same."The truck model that used to be famous twenty years ago is hard to find nowadays. I think the use of this truck was due to convenience because, after twenty years, there are now many more types of trucks that are more powerful."I think your initial deduction is right; it should be the same killer. He thinks that because no one foun

    Luna furrowed her brows, unable to register Gwen's words.Malcolm actually got Luke to help him find the thing left behind by Heather?If he wanted it, it was simple. All he needed to do was to attend and give Heather a funeral.After all, Malcolm was widely known as Heather's husband, and it was only natural for a husband to take care of the affairs of his deceased wife.Why, then, did Malcolm not appear when he should have dealt with Heather's funeral, even waiting for her and Jim to finish taking care of Heather's funeral before he approached Luke's men for help?Why did he go to such extra measures?Just when Luna was thinking about it, Gwen furrowed her brows and thought for a while before adding, "He was injured when he came here; limping, even. Initially, I couldn't even recognize him."Gwen closed her eyes and thought back about the details that happened that night.Malcolm came to her two days ago, which was the night when Luna and Jim had finished taking care of Heath

    Luna only took a few steps when she turned around and swept Luke a cold gaze. "I can't meddle too much into your affairs with Gwen, but if a thing like that happens again, I'll finish you!"Also…" Luna took a deep breath and continued, "Since you placed Gwen here, don't let her witness all the bloody scenes. Don't let too many people know about this place. Do your deadly business somewhere else. Don't let it affect Gwen."Then, Luna turned and left.Luke leaned back on the sofa with a sneer on his face as he watched Luna leave.It was only after Theo and Luna vanished from sight did the butler by the side sigh. He picked up the teapot and poured Luke a cup of tea."Sir, it looks like someone misunderstood you again. Why don't you explain it clearly to Ms. Larson? You've never killed her fiance. It was her fiance that…"Before the butler could finish his sentence, his words were forced back by Luke's icy glare.Luke looked at the butler coldly. "I don't want her to know."Luke w

    At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."They thus hugged once more. Minutes later…"He's gone," said Stefan.Tears kept falling.They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face. He had tears on his face as well.She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?

    The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

    It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

    Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

    When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

    Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

    This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

    Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

    Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
