Sean had gone missing?Jim furrowed his brows and quickly strode away, clutching his phone. "What happened?""Just now, one of my men came to me saying that your brother, as well as my subordinate Kate, disappeared at the same time, but no one knew where they had gone."I've already sent some people to check your house, but none of them went to visit Bonnie, so I called to ask you whether you had any idea where they went."A hint of cold malice crept into Luke's voice as he added, "It's one thing for your brother to go missing, but another thing entirely if Kate were to disappear too. It might not seem like it, but this girl hails from a rich and influential family, and the only reason she's come to work for me is that she wanted to experience life on her own without being dependent on her family."Therefore, if anything were to happen to her, not only will I have to take responsibility, but you'd have to pay the price too."Jim narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. "I don't care

"Have you decided to go for it, Master Moon?" There was a newfound hint of joy in Joey's voice as he exclaimed, "Have you decided to come out of your retirement for this? If yes, I'll get in touch with Thomas Howard's assistant right now!"With that, he hung up the phone.Luna remained stunned as she clutched the phone in her hand, listening to the dial tone. A split second later, she sighed and tucked her phone away.Just as she was about to lock her phone, however, she received a message from Joey.[Thomas Howards wants to meet you this afternoon! 1 p.m. at Bamboo House, a restaurant on the west side of the city!]Luna glanced at the time, frowning.It was already past 11 a.m., so she would be meeting Thomas Howard in less than two hours.How impatient was this man?The rational voice in her mind was telling her that something was wrong—that Thomas Howard must have had ulterior motives for setting up this once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity.Luna knew that she should hav

Luna hesitated for a long time, but with the three children's encouragement, she finally decided to go ahead.By the time she reached a decision, it was almost noon, and Thomas Howard had intended to meet her at 1 p.m.With Nellie's help, Luna brainstormed the prototype for her jewelry design and developed a simple draft for Thomas Howard.By the time they finished this, there were only 20 minutes left till the meeting time.Nellie was worried that Luna would not be able to tap into her full creative potential due to her worries, so she volunteered to go with Luna to meet Thomas Howard in hopes that she could help alleviate her nerves."Aren't we going to send some guards to keep an eye on Mommy and Nellie?" As soon as Luna and Nellie left, Neil furrowed his brows and glanced at Nigel, who remained motionless on the sofa. "Are you sure it's going to be safe for them?""Why wouldn't it be?" Nigel replied impassively as he stared at the surveillance tape on the laptop screen. "You

There was a hint of a smile in the man's voice, but for some reason, Luna felt uneasy about it.After all, no one—not once in her 20-over years of life—had ever said anything like this while complimenting her daughter on their first encounter.If she remembered correctly, this was her first time ever meeting Thomas Howard in person, and they were not even acquaintances to begin with.However, no matter how uneasy she felt, she still smiled and glanced at the man sitting in the booth. "You're a funny man, Mr. Howard. I'm sure a celebrity like you can't possibly have children on a whim, can you?"The tall, slender man was leaning against the sofa before her, his arms crossed as he scrutinized her. He was wearing a black suit which accentuated his long legs. Even with his legs crossed elegantly, they still appeared to be longer than most, so much so that a patch of his ankle was exposed underneath his pant leg.Underneath the dim, yellow light, the man's face looked as though he had

Luna narrowed her eyes upon hearing this.She pulled Nellie closer to her and met Thomas' gaze, sneering. "So the reason you got in touch with Joey to set up an urgent meeting with me…was to insult me in person?"Luna knew she had been behaving impulsively and should have noticed the observations that Nellie had made, but it was almost impossible for her to remain calm in a situation where her child's safety was at risk.She had been questioning Thomas' motives since the beginning, and when he expressed his longing to have Nellie become his daughter and get to know her better…she could not help putting her guard up.She had already lost a daughter; she could not allow herself to lose another.She did not want to go through the pain of losing her daughter—or the immense sorrow she had experienced when she thought Neil had died—once more.This was why she had placed all her attention on protecting Nellie and overlooked the fact that Thomas had not expressed any signs of adoration t
