Gwen furrowed her brows and wanted to ask further, but Luna stopped her. She winked at Gwen and said, "Ignore him. He's always trying to appear mysterious."With that, she tugged Gwen toward her and placed her head on her shoulder. "Are you tired? You want to take a nap?"Gwen nodded and obediently leaned her head against Luna's shoulder. She was so exhausted from her physical fight against Ben just now that it did not take her long to drift off to sleep. However, in her sleep, she still managed to overhear some snippets of Luna and Joshua's conversation."You can't get in touch with them?""That's right. They've lost all contact with the outside world. Wherever they've stowed Andy away is surely secretive and difficult to locate.""Does that mean all we can do is wait for them to get in touch with us?""Theoretically that's correct, but don't worry. Once we arrive there, Tara will arrange for the rest of the Moore family to help, and I'm sure we can track them down in no time.
Luna furrowed her brows when she heard this and nodded, albeit rather displeased. "Yes, this is she." "Your name is Gwen, right?" Tara smiled and extended her hand toward Gwen. "Nice to meet you. My name is Tara Moore, and I'm Joshua's cousin. "However, he and I aren't truly related by blood. I was adopted." For some reason, Gwen could not help finding Tara's smile fake and deceiving. She did not understand why Tara had to deliberately mention the fact that she and Joshua were not actual blood relatives. It was as though she was not saying this as a fact but as a means of bragging. What was there to brag about? Gwen could not wrap her head around this. however, despite her confusion, she still smiled and shook Tara's hand. "Pleasure to meet you, Tara. I'm Luna's friend, Gwen Larson." "I know your name's Gwen Larson." Tara grinned and swept her gaze over Luna's entire body. "You're Luna's best friend, so I've heard everything about you!" "I didn't realize I'm this famous
Tara's smile froze on her face. She glanced sheepishly at Joshua, then let out an awkward cough. "Well, I'm not hungry at all. I just wanted to know if you guys were. Well, if none of us want to eat, we don't have to go anywhere. Shall I send you all to the hotel now?" "There's no need for that." Gwen chuckled as she glanced at Tara. "We can find our way. Feel free to attend to your own duties, Ms. Moore." Luna nodded in agreement, then turned to smile at Joshua. "Aren't you here to help Tara out with her business? The fact that she came as soon as we landed must mean there's something urgent that requires your help. why don't you follow her back to the office while Gwen and I go to the hotel ourselves?" Tara's entire face lit up when she heard this. "That's a great idea!" With that, she could not help adding, "You're such an open-minded person, Luna! If this had happened to someone else, she would misinterpret my intentions as trying to get close to her husband and would refus
The crocodile tears brimming in Tara's eyes were like cherries on top of her perfectly crafted lie. Gwen could not help frowning in disapproval when she heard this. Joshua was no doubt a handsome man, and as Luna's friend, she had witnessed throngs of women practically throwing themselves at Joshua over the years. That being said, however, Tara was arguably one of the most cunning and crafty women she had ever met. Gwen instinctively glanced at Joshua, then at Luna. To her surprise, Luna was also staring at Joshua with a funny expression. Gwen paused momentarily, then inched closer to Luna and whispered in her ear, "This woman is clearly trying to steal your husband. Why are you so calm?" Luna shrugged, smiling. "Well, if he falls right into her trap so easily, perhaps I'll be better off without him. "Since Joshua promised me he'd be able to take care of all this, I shall let him do his work. If he truly managed to stick to his word and resolve everything, we will still b
Tara widened her eyes in shock, and tears began to slide down her cheeks. "Joshua, I… That's not what I intended to do at all… I…" "That's enough now." Luna, who had been watching in silence all this while, finally piped up. "Ms. Moore, I think you should go back now. We'll have lunch or dinner with you someday after we've had some rest. "However, I want you to take Joshua's advice seriously. Your work should always be your first priority." Tara, who had been upset about Joshua's stern scolding up until now, could not help snickering when she heard this. "I know! Thanks for trying to teach me a lesson, Luna." With that, she could not help adding rather snarkily, "However, I do hope that you can remain understanding when I ask Joshua for help in the future, Luna. I hope that our relationship won't be tainted by your jealousy." Luna's smile was gentle and reassuring when she replied, "Why would I get jealous if you're meeting over work? All I should be worried about are people
They soon arrived at the hotel Lucas had booked for them. Luna and Gwen hopped out of the car as soon as it screeched to a halt. Joshua let out a weak chuckle as he followed the two chattering women into the hotel, dragging their suitcases behind him. Even after settling in, Luna and Gwen were still chattering on and on. They had spent so much time apart that they missed each other dearly. Although they had kept in touch consistently via the phone, nothing beat seeing each other in real life. This was the truth about relationships between girl best friends; they could talk about everything and anything they set their mind to. After a long conversation, Joshua finally found an excuse to drag Luna out of Gwen's room by pretending that he wanted to talk to her about their plans in Sharnwick City. Gwen did not know Luna was here to see John, and Luna did not intend to tell her either. After Luna left, Gwen let out a sigh of relief and texted Stefan. [Hey Stefan, have you gu
Stefan narrowed his eyes but kept quiet. Kurt, on the other hand, began to panic. He gulped nervously and turned to stare at Stefan questioningly.This was Diablo's first time seeing them, and there was no point lying to them.Could he be telling the truth?Was Gwen captured by Tyson's men? What were they going to do?Since Diablo had confiscated their phones, they had no way of confirming Gwen's safety, nor could they get in touch with Joshua to ask for his help finding Gwen. What would they do if Gwen truly got caught?Although Stefan and Kurt were strong, steadfast men, it was hard enough for them to be able to rescue Andy from the other guards, much less another person.Kurt could not even begin to imagine what they would do to get out of this predicament."Why are you so quiet all of a sudden?" Diablo asked, frowning when he noticed how silent they were.Kurt paused for a moment and was about to answer when Stefan replied, "We're just surprised, that's all. We didn't expec
Both Kurt and Stefan froze when they heard this.They exchanged glances, both unable to believe their ears.After a brief pause, Stefan was the first to regain his composure. He smirked and asked, "How interesting. I didn't know that woman had an ex-husband.""That's not the worst part!" Diablo was eager to share more. "That woman is a slut! At one point, she was raped by multiple people at once…"With that, Diablo leered and added, "That's the reason her husband divorced her; he thought she was too impure for him after that incident."I don't even know what's gotten into Luke's head. I can't believe how stupid he was to fall for a slut like her and even sacrificed himself for her sake… What a pity."You know, I wouldn't feel so bad for him if that woman decided to turn over a new leaf after his death, but this morning, when Boss sent his men over, she was in the middle of doing unspeakable things with her ex-husband in their old home…"As he said this, Diablo sighed. "I can't b
