Both Joshua and Luna were quiet for a while before Joshua finally smiled. "Okay, as long as you keep your promise, Ms. Luna. I'm willing to add a passenger on the plane."Then, Joshua hung up.Hearing the disconnecting tone, Luna closed her eyes depressingly.The flight was at seven. By the time she reached Merchant City, it would be around eleven at night.She hoped everything would not be too late by then.…Soon, the car reached Bonnie's mansion. When Luna entered, her three kids were already awake.Nellie pushed over Luna's barely unpacked luggage over to her, all teary-eyed."Mommy, when are you coming back again? When will we see each other again?"Neil, on the other hand, was right behind Nellie. He passed Luna a huge bag of food and gifts."Mommy, the three of us prepared some food and gifts for you."This is for you to have on the plane, and some of these are for you to take to Merchant City. The gifts are paintings and little handcrafts we made for the past six mon
At six in the evening, Luna appeared at Banyan City Airport on time. It was raining at that point, and Banyan City at night was extremely cold.Luna, standing at the airport's entrance, shivered due to the cold and the thin clothes she wore.The car stopped by the airport and Joshua immediately noticed Luna, who kept rubbing her hands and stomping her feet, by the airport.Her thin figure was slightly shivering in the cold wind, but her gaze was still trying to look in the distance, searching for him through the rain.Joshua's heart skipped a beat at that scene. He immediately opened the car door and got out of the car, not even bothering to use an umbrella, merely wearing a coat as he headed toward Luna.Even if he was soaked by the rain, he still protected the lady's coat in his hand well. Not a single drop of water landed on it.Joshua walked under the rain and strode toward Luna, passing the coat in his hands to her."Put it on."Luna was a little stunned. She subconsciousl
Luna started to worry about the Landry family and Jim, but she could not discuss it with Joshua like how Nigel told her to.No matter what she thought, in the eyes of the public, she and Joshua were enemies. She could not tell all the embarrassments of her family to the enemy.Four hours passed by in a blink of an eye.At eleven that night, Luna and Joshua arrived at Merchant City Airport."Theo's car is waiting for you outside."Once the plane stopped moving, Joshua remained gracefully seated."You head down first."Luna, who was taking her luggage, stopped a little. After a while, she nodded. "Okay."Although Luna understood that Joshua and she needed to keep some distance, seeing how he actively did that, she was still rather uncomfortable with it.Pulling her luggage out of the airport, Luna immediately noticed Theo's car and strode over. While Theo was helping her with her luggage, she furrowed her brows and said, "Have you seen any news about the Landrys?"Theo looked a
Landry Mansion.A fire was raging.Once Theo's car was nearby, Luna immediately noticed the fire by the back of the hill. She widened her eyes and looked in the direction in a daze.If she remembered correctly, that was where her mother's warehouse was!Luna bit her lip and clenched her fists tightly.It was not enough for Jim to smash her mother's warehouse, but he had to burn it down, too? How dare he! How could he?!That was her mother's lifework! She had spent her entire life researching and creating drugs, and everything in the warehouse was the fruit of her labor!The butler had told her that whether it was 20 years ago or right then, even when her father went lunatic, he had never once touched her mother's warehouse.Even if her mother was in a vegetative state for almost a year, Mickey still had to take stock and clean the warehouse daily!Even if Jim was getting emotional or going crazy, he could not do that to her mother's things!The car finally reached the Landry
It was like Luna no longer recognized Jim at that moment.No. It could not be. All these must have been done by the media. They were falsely reported.Jim always treated her, his younger sister, well. He would never do this sort of thing! At that thought, Luna took a deep breath. She lifted her head and looked at the two bodyguards."Get Jim to come out. I want him to tell me in my face."Unless Jim told her to her face that he was the one that did all those things, she would not believe a single word she read!The bodyguards looked at each other. Finally, one of them sighed and looked at Luna."You just don't know when to quit!" Then, he turned around and entered the mansion.Luna stood straight and remained in the same spot, letting the rain drench her.Theo took an umbrella over to shelter her."I've already reported the fire, but they said that the fire has been going on for more than an hour. They're already here. They said that someone in the Landry family said that th
Luna's eyes instantly widened at what the woman said as she stared at her in disbelief."Y—You're…Charlotte?""Of course." The woman smiled with a rather mocking expression. "I have to thank you for taking me to the warehouse to get the bottle of medication. Without it, I wouldn't have transformed so quickly."While Charlotte was talking, Jim had slowly made his way toward them. He stood next to Charlotte and swept Luna a cold glance. His tone was aloof as he spoke, "You're the one who came between my Charlotte and me?"Jim's words stunned Luna entirely. She furrowed her brows and looked at the man she called her brother. "Y—You…and Charlotte…""Charlotte and I are back together." Jim sneered. He reached out and hugged Charlotte in his arms, gently giving her a peck on her forehead before turning to look at Luna seriously."We've been apart for so long. We've finally reunited, yet you're here ruining the moment. What can't you tell me tomorrow?"Luna furrowed her brows tightly a
"Jim, I'm tired. Let's head to bed, please?"Jim's eyes, which were filled with abhorrence and resentment, had softened when he heard Charlotte's words.He reached his hands out and gently caressed Charlotte's head. "Alright," he said dotingly, "we'll go now."Then, his expressions changed once again, glaring at Luna coldly. "Fuck off! You're not welcomed here!"Luna was flabbergasted as she watched Jim and Charlotte leave. She immediately rushed out from under the umbrella, passed through the bodyguards, and grabbed Jim's arm."Jim!" Luna bit her lip and held his arm tightly."What happened to you? Is Charlotte threatening you? Why have you turned out this way? Tell me!"Jim should not have turned out this way; he was not this sort of person! She had been living with her brother for a year, and she understood him.There must be a reason why he became this way!Charlotte furrowed her brows upon hearing what Luna said. She let go of Jim's hand and slapped Luna's face brutally.
Luna bit her lip and looked at Charlotte in front of her."Was this your doing, turning my brother into this person?"Charlotte sneered. She gracefully leaned on Jim and smiled a little."What nonsense are you talking about? Since when has Jim changed? He has always been that person that loves me, listens to me, and trusts me."I have to thank you, Luna. If it weren't for you helping me get the skin regeneration drug, I wouldn't have been able to transform into a more beautiful person than before.""Stop talking with her." Jim swept Luna a cold look. His hand that had the jade ring on gently swept Charlotte's hair behind her ears."Didn't you say you were tired? Let's go back to rest."Charlotte smiled tenderly and said, "Okay."Then, she smugly laid her head on Jim's arms."Luna, if you don't want things to turn for the worse tonight, you'll stop disturbing our rest."Then, she held onto Jim's arm, turned, and left with Jim.Looking at the two of them, Luna clenched her fis
