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
After ending the call with Nigel, Luna hesitated in her room for a long while but finally mustered her courage and went to the hospital.Joshua was right.Luke did indeed protect Gwen very well. Even when she wanted to meet Gwen, his subordinates guarding the door had to report to their superiors and onward, before they finally obtained Luke’s permission and allowed her into the ward.When Luna arrived at Gwen’s hospital ward, Gwen was climbing down the hospital with her father, Andy’s help.Seeing Luna arrive, Gwen’s pupils shrunk slightly, then she raised her eyes and smiled at her softly. “You’re just in time.”She smiled and sat in the wheelchair. “Luke Jones said I’ll be transferred to another hospital tomorrow. I want to make a trip home, to pack up some of my stuff and bring it over there.”With that, Gwen looked at Luna calmly. “Since you’re here, please accompany me home. I don’t want my father to still be taking care of me when I’m already an adult.”Luna pursed her li
Luna’s hands held onto the wheelchair handles tightly.Gwen raised her head and fixed her eyes on Ben as if she did not hear the woman’s words. Her voice was cold and distant, without an ounce of warmth. “Who is she?”Ben frowned but did not say anything.Gwen raised her voice, but the chill in her tone persisted, “Ben Zeller, who is she?!”“I am Ben’s girlfriend.” The woman laughed lightly, leaning her entire body on him, “But don’t misunderstand, he didn’t cheat on you. We just confirmed our relationship today. That’s all because yo-”Gwen closed her eyes. “Ben Zeller, are you mute?”Only then did Ben frown, his voice displaying his displeasure. “Isn’t it the same, whether I’m the one who says it or Clover says it? Clover is my girlfriend, we only decided to be together this afternoon. We already finalized our divorce this morning, you have no right to interfere in my private affairs.”Gwen started laughing coldly, but as she laughed, her tears started to fall.Luna’s hands c
Hearing the man’s voice, Luna, who was already prepared to be hit, paused slightly.Joshua?When she retracted her hands and looked in the direction of the voice…Standing in front of her, the towering man was holding Ben’s wrist in his first.The veins on Ben’s forehead protruded violently, it was obvious he was using all his strength, trying his best to plant his fist on Luna’s face.But Joshua firmly controlled him with just a single hand. As if effortless. Luna was stunned for a second.“Luna! Come here!” Gwen’s voice rang out behind her. She paused, and hurriedly stepped back to stand beside Gwen.Gwen held her hand, massaging it, and said, confused, “When did Joshua arrive?” “He has been following us since we left the hospital.” Beside them, Luke still had his arms crossed over his chest as he leaned on the wall, his gaze flitting toward Luna. “He must’ve been worried something would happen to her.”He stretched lazily. “If I didn’t know Joshua was married, I would th
“You divorced me this morning, in the afternoon you’ve already found a girlfriend, and now at night you bring your new girlfriend to your old home. Ben Zeller. You’re not worth the time that I spent crushing on you.”With that, she sucked in a deep breath, turned and looked at Luke who was holding his lighter, getting ready to light himself a cigarette and watch the show. “Can I borrow a light please?”Luke shrugged, walked over and bent down, held his lighter, and ripped out Gwen’s prettiest solo portrait, then lit the rest of the photos on fire.Finally, he handed the photo he ripped out to Gwen. “For commemorative purposes.”Gwen shook her head. “Just burn it.”She did not need to commemorate something like this.Luke raised his lips in a faint smile, looked at Gwen with a mild interest in his eyes and slipped the photo into his pocket.The photos were lit aflame. Amidst the roaring fire, Ben laughed coldly, “Even if you didn’t burn them, I would.”Gwen closed her eyes tig
