Luna and Alice raised their heads simultaneously.The person who was holding Alice’s hand wasn’t anyone else but Joshua who had left not too long ago.Seeing him here, Alice immediately retracted her hand and dove into his arms, sobbing like a baby, “Joshua, I knew Luna was in a bad mood, so I tried comforting her. But, who knew she would slap me instead!”As she spoke, she pointed to her red and puffy face. “See! I was furious, so I slapped her too, but she still wanted to slap me so I…”Joshua held onto her gingerly, raised his eyes and looked at the palm print on Luna’s face. “I know you’re in a bad mood, but still you can’t go around hurting people.”Luna raised her eyes and looked at him coldly without speaking.Joshua sucked in a deep breath, saying coolly, “I went to the police station just now and took care of everything. The one who kidnapped Gwen is Liam Clark’s subordinate. The Old Mr. Walter is the mastermind, the police have already summoned him for questioning.”He
With that, the man shrugged and approached them. “So, Gwen knows something about the Walter family, doesn’t she?” The moment the words left his mouth, both Luna and Alice paled simultaneously.Alice knew something, but she was not too sure… Meanwhile, Luna was thinking about the ‘love letter’ Gwen gave her last night. She vaguely remembered, last night Liam got her letter, took a photo of it and sent it to someone, then burned the letter.She did not know the contents of the letter.But instinct told her… if the Walter family wanted to kill Gwen to silence her, it must be related to the letter!At this thought, she jumped up as if crazed, then rushed Gwen’s hospital ward and pushed the door open. “Gwen!”She bolted in and grabbed Gwen’s hand. “Do you remember? I gave you a letter last time. Do you remember what was written in the letter?”Gwen looked at her, confused. “What letter?”Luna stiffened immediately.She bit her lip. “We went out drinking last night, you got dru
Luna bit her lip, raised her eyes stubbornly, and looked straight at Joshua. “Why?”Since something like this happened to Gwen, she would still worry even if she went back to Banyan City, it was impossible for her to concentrate on work.Joshua’s gaze remained emotionless. “Even if you want to stay here in Sea City, what can you do for Gwen? Continue to feel guilty and blame yourself, keep reminding her of what happened, so you can both be sad together?”The man’s words made Luna take a step back involuntarily.She stared at him in disbelief, opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but not a single word came forth.Joshua frowned, his voice calm but cold. “Firstly, you can’t take back what has happened to her. The most important thing now is to stop her from seeing the people who are related to this incident, so her mental and physical wounds can start healing. You should know, all of these happened to her because of you. Even if she doesn’t blame you, can you guarantee that s
Even if she turned into someone he did not like at all, he could not abandon and leave her. This was his responsibility as a husband and as a father.But he really did not understand. “I remember, you and Gwen were desk-mates and best friends throughout your three years of high school. When this happened to her, I thought you would have the same reaction as Luna.”Alice paused violently.A second later, she turned and looked at the buttons on the elevator. “We weren’t really friends, just desk-mates. Besides, we never kept in touch after high school. To me, Gwen is just an old classmate I haven’t seen for years.” Joshua narrowed his eyes. “But Gwen even argued with Luna for you.”“That’s because she knew I married well and wanted to heighten her social position,” Alice said lightly, “Later on she realized I don’t care about our ancient friendship and immediately became friends with Luna. Just days ago she was arguing with her, calling her a mistress, and now they’ve become fast
Luna lay unconscious in the hotel until 3 p.m. in the afternoon.She got a call from Neil at 3 p.m. in the afternoon.The little guy’s voice drifted in from the other end of the phone. He sounded fairly excited. “Mommy, how far away are you? Nellie and I really miss you!”Hearing her son’s voice, Luna’s heart softened and melted.She held onto her phone for a few seconds in silence, then finally lowered her voice and answered, “Mommy… can’t come back today. I’m still in Sea City.”On the other end of the phone, the little guy paused, then his voice turned calm in an instant. “Is there a problem?”“One of Mommy’s friends was involved in an accident.”The little guy on the other end of the phone was very understanding.He pursed his lips. “I understand. I’ll explain the situation to Nellie properly, she’ll understand and won’t get angry at you or make a fuss about it. You can stay there and take care of your friend, just tell me when you’ll be back and Nellie and I will be ready
She did not dare to think any further, all she could do was bite her lip and ask Neil softly, “Did your brother say anything else?”“No.”Neil frowned. “Mommy, is anything wrong?”“No, nothing.” Luna sucked in a deep breath then chatted mindlessly with him for a while and hurriedly ended the call.Placing her phone down, Luna took a long while to calm herself down. Then, she finally mustered her courage and pressed the button to switch on the necklace she used to communicate with Nigel.“Mommy.” The moment the signal was connected, Nigel’s solemn voice drifted in from the other side. “I already sent an email to the police in Sea City, detailing the various illegal activities the Walter family was involved in all these years. Don’t worry, the people who hurt Aunt Gwen will be punished accordingly.”Luna’s hand that was holding the necklace trembled slightly. “Nigel…”“I know everything.” The little guy sucked in a deep breath. “The necklace I gave you is installed with a progra
Luna was silent for a moment, then she laughed.“Nigel, how could he be doing this for me? To him, I’m just small fry, completely negligible.”On the other end of the phone, Nigel remained quiet for a short while.He wanted to tell her…Through the CCTV recording that he hacked into last night, he saw Joshua’s expression that was full of anxiety and heartache as he carried Luna.That afternoon, he had been staring at the scene on his computer for the whole afternoon.In the afternoon, he contacted Malcolm, discussed with Malcolm and decided to stop the attack on the Lynch Group.From the screenshots that he captured, in every shot, Joshua’s anxiety and guilt could not possibly be an act.Because there was no way he could know his son was watching them from afar.He did not even know he had another son, Nigel.So his eyes, and his act of rushing out of the abandoned factory with Luna in his arms, they were all genuine.Sometimes, even Nigel would wonder… what exactly was goin
She held the document tightly in her hands. “You… why are you helping Gwen and the Larson family?”It stood to reason that he had no contact with them at all.Acquiring the Larson Group for a price that was 30% higher than market value was definitely not a good move to the Lynch Group. The Larson Group did not hold that much potential. If it did, Andy Larson would not blindly look up to Old Mr. Walter all these years and follow his every order.Joshua raised his eyes emotionlessly. “If I didn’t do this, would you leave Sea City with me with peace of mind?”Luna’s heart squeezed into a tight ball of muscle at his words.She remembered what Nigel said to her from the other end of the phone.Could it be that Joshua had been doing all these… for her?No, that was impossible.She bit her lip harshly, that was impossible.He must have read her mind, he glanced at her faintly again. “If you think this isn’t a good enough reason, the other reason is.”He set the cup down lightly on
