By the time Joshua made his way to the building lobby, the driver from Lynch Mansion had just pulled the car over.Luna opened the door and was just about to get in when someone grabbed hold of her arm.She turned around with a frown and came face-to-face with Joshua's chiseled face.Luna rolled her eyes as soon as she saw who it was. "What are you doing here?"He sure seemed to be enjoying his meal with that attractive young woman, so why was he here all of a sudden?"Lucas told me you came and left without saying another word, so I came to see what was happening." Joshua gestured for her to get in the car. "Why did you leave without saying hi?"Luna rolled her eyes, then got into the car and turned to shoot him a murderous look. "Well, I saw how engrossed you were in that conversation with the charming young girl and didn't think it was my place to interrupt, Mr. Lynch."Then, she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and added, "Is that your new secretary? I've never se
"She's my cousin."These three words rang in Luna's ear and seemed to make all her boiling rage disappear. She furrowed her brow, shoved Joshua away, and gaped at him incredulously. "You have a cousin sister?"Joshua smiled, then reached out to pull her back into his embrace. "Hey, you have a brother that you didn't know about, so why can't I have a cousin sister too? Besides, didn't I tell you this back in Saigen City?"My mother and Aunt Eanne are twin sisters born into the Moore family. It's just that both of them ended up rebelling against their family and chose to marry outside of their homes. Aunt Eanne chose to be with Thomas' father, whereas my mother ended up with Adrian."Luna could not help sighing when she heard this. "Rianna and Eanne are both decent women. It's just sad that…"Unfortunately, neither of them had good taste in men. Thomas' father, Howard, and Adrian were equally sly, deceitful, and cunning.Joshua knew exactly what Luna was talking about even before s
Luna was immediately intrigued by the prospect of being able to see John and Sammie again, despite Gwen having shot down this idea of hers just a few hours ago. She bit her lip and glanced at Joshua. "Can I do that? Are you sure no one will catch wind of where they are and find them? I-" "No one will." Joshua knew precisely what she was worried about. He curled his lips into a smile as he pulled her closer to him and replied, "Don't worry. We have Tara to help us." Luna froze in surprise. "Tara? What does she have to do with this?" Joshua smiled again. "Well, the Moore family owns plenty of businesses in Sharnwick City, and that's exactly where John and Sammie are now. "This was also one of the reasons my uncle sent Tara over to visit us; to act as a cover-up for when we travel to Sharnwick City. That way, even if anyone intends to take revenge on me by targeting the people around me, no one would dare to lay a finger on the Moore family. "You should come with me to Sharnwick
"If so, you have to promise to listen to our every word." Stefan did not try to stop Gwen from coming. Instead, he chose to share the details of Tyson's mission with them with her. Tyson was sent to Sharnwick City with a group of his subordinates. This was because he still did not trust Stefan and Kurt a hundred percent, especially considering Kurt was loyal to Luke before this. However, Stefan and Kurt were so outstanding in combat that no one could match up against them, which was why Tyson had no choice but to send them to Sharnwick City on this crucial mission. He was so eager to send them over as soon as possible because he heard through the grapevine that Joshua was about to visit Sharnwick City. Tyson was worried that Joshua would attempt to rescue Andy from captivity, so he decided to entrust Stefan and Kurt with the crucial task of protecting Andy. "Joshua's going to Sharnwick City?" Gwen widened her eyes in shock when she heard this. "Yes," Stefan glanced at her,
"Oh, Ben!" "You slut!" the woman's moans of pleasure were interspersed with Ben's lustful growls. Gwen wanted nothing more than to storm out of the room and strangle these two! There was only half an hour away from Luna and Joshua's stipulated arrival time, and yet these two were still messing around! Why did she never notice it lasting this long, even when he was with her? Did he take some sort of pill before this? "The pill is working splendidly!" the woman piped up as though she sensed Gwen's exact thought. "You're doing so well, Ben!" "I told you; I had this within me, I just needed the pill to help me bring out my potential!" Ben snickered gleefully. Gwen rolled her eyes at this. All of a sudden, her phone buzzed with a message from Luna. [Gwennie, we're almost there. Are you ready?] Gwen needed to learn how to respond to this. She paused, then replied, [Um, I have a situation.] [What happened?] [Something weird. Can you guys come a little later?] It was
Gwen felt her heart skip a beat. All the cells in her body seemed to be screaming in fear. How could, how could this be? How could Tyson have discovered her hiding spot? What was she going to do? Would Luna and Joshua make it here in time if she were to call them now? "Gwen's friends have arrived in Sea City, and our boss picked up on that immediately, so he deliberately caused a traffic jam to stall them!" the man outside declared as though he could sense Gwen's thought. Gwen felt her heart sink. No wonder Luna got caught in a traffic jam without warning/ It was all Tyson's doing! Gwen bit her lip and placed her entire weight against the door, closing her eyes and awaiting her inevitable fate. This house was not big at all, and with careful searching, the men would find her sooner or later. With Stefan and Kurt out of the picture, there was no way she could make it out alive. "There's no Gwen Larson here!" Ben's voice rang out. "You must be mistaken! Gwen's m
Gwen closed her eyes. Thank God. Thank God none of Luke's old subordinates remembered what she looked like. Gwen let out a sigh of relief amid Ben's howls and the woman's wails of agony. She wondered why Ben decided to bring the woman here, but now, it turned out that Ben saved her life. If they did not show up here, Tyson's men would have turned the entire place upside down to search for her, and she would surely be caught. The car started, and the woman's howls grew further and further away. Finally, after the car was out of earshot, Gwen let out another exhale of relief and texted Luna. [You can come over now.] Before this, Stefan specifically warned her not to leave the room, not before Luna and Joshua arrived. Taking his instruction to heart, she decided to continue waiting for them in the little room. Luna's reply came quickly. [The jam has subsided too. We'll be right over!] Gwen felt as though a weight was lifted off her shoulders. "Gwen?" all of a sudde
However, as much as she dreaded it, Ben's key fit perfectly into the padlock, and the doorknob turned. Ben could feel the resistance as soon as he pushed the door. He burst into a sinister laugh. "I knew it—you've been hiding in here all along, Gwen!" Gwen placed her entire weight against the door, trying to stop Ben from coming in, but it was no use. The discrepancy between a man's and a woman's strength was already striking enough, not to mention the fact that Gwen was petite, whereas Ben was tall and muscular. She was no match for him at all! Although Ben did not manage to open the door initially, bit by bit, he was still able to inch it slowly open. "Gwen!" finally, he caught sight of Gwen's face from the crack in the door. A glimmer of malice flashed through his eyes as his lips split open in a gleeful grin. "I knew I'd find you! Have you been hiding here all along? Have you been eavesdropping on me the last time I was here with that woman? "Is it exciting to eaves
