Somewhere not far behind Gwen, a man wearing black attire stood there looking at Gwen with a shocking look, "Gwen, is that you? Do you still remember me? I'm Winson Tinker!"Gwen frowned while she tried to search in her memory and a smile slowly appeared on her face. "Winson Tinker? Yes, I remember you!"Winson and Gwen went to the same high school in Sea City. Gwen and Luna would sit together in class and Winson would sit in the row behind Luna. During then, they were so young. It was common for them to copy homework from each other, asked each other questions about homework, ate snacks sneakily during class, and helped each other to take cover when the teacher was questioning them.After they graduated from high school, Gwen started dating Ben at university. That was when she lost contact with Winson.Never had she expected to meet Winson in this rural town in the south."Wow, it has been such a long time. You are more and more beautiful!" Winson smiled, "Let's grab a drink toge

Andy's words shocked Gwen. "Why are they looking for me?"Andy sighed helplessly, "Gwen, I don't believe you don't know the answer to that. When Luke was still alive, many people in his gang had strongly expressed how much they disliked you. They always wanted Luke to dump you and leave you. They even said your presence was the reason Luke was losing his credibility and prestige…""After Luke died because of you, they didn't do anything. Mostly because they wanted to wait a while and not do anything immediately after Luke's death. Now… They are finally making their moves."Her father's voice sounded like he had aged a lot within the day. "There are already two to three groups of people coming to the house looking for you… Due to Joshua's power in Banyan City, they did not do anything to the company. I'm old and they always thought you and me have fallen out after your divorce with Ben… So they didn't do anything to me too.""But seriously, I'm warning you. Don't come back to Sea Ci

A woman's piercing scream echoed through the master bedroom of Orchard Manor.Luna finally caught sight of Gwen's message the moment she returned to the room. She could not help letting out a shriek of excitement, and, ignoring a drunken Joshua entirely, plopped onto the bed to reply to her message. [Gwennie, did you see our wedding photos? Where are you now? Bonnie told me that you've lost touch with us ever since what happened with Anne and me, and I thought you decided to cut all ties with me!]When they were getting their makeup done shortly before the ceremony, Luna had been talking about this to Bonnie.Everyone that she knew had come to the wedding, save for the two most important people in her life—Anne and Gwen.Unfortunately, Anne would never be able to share the joy with her anymore, and as for Gwen…Luna was not certain whether Gwen had chosen to leave out of disgust for her actions.She was so ashamed by this that she could not even pluck up the courage to call Gwen.

Luna was dumbstruck when she saw the text Gwen sent. Dazedly, she looked back at Joshua. "Did…you send someone to protect Gwen?"Joshua, playing with his phone at the moment, paused and nodded. "Yes."It only triggered more questions in Luna's mind. "When did you arrange that?"After she was released, she did ask Bonnie about Gwen. At that time, Bonnie said Gwen told no one when she left, and no one knew where she was headed to.Why would Joshua arrange for people to protect Gwen? If he did that, why did he not mention it when she talked about Gwen with him?"I did it after you went to jail." Joshua coughed and looked in another direction to avoid looking into Luna's eyes. "I was afraid someone is going to hurt your friends after what happened to Anne. Bonnie has Jim with her, so I wasn't worried about her. Gwen, on the other hand, has no one, so I asked a friend to protect her."Luna's eyebrows furrowed. "Your friend?"When did Joshua have a friend who worked as a bodyguard?A

The man dressed in black took a step back and used his hand to reach for his other injured arm. He remained silent and merely shook his head in response to Gwen.By then, Gwen could tell the man did not just hurt his back but also his arm too. He had been trying to protect her from slamming on the ground to the extent that there was obviously blood wetting the sleeve of his black sweater.Gwen's heart throbbed when she saw blood on him."You look like you're hurt badly."She bit her lip and wanted to go near him, intending to bring him to the hospital. After just one step, however, she remembered the thing Luna texted her last night.This man did not want anyone to go near him. He was self-abased and ashamed because of his disfigured face. Gwen knew she should not go near him or break the rules he set for her.She paused and frowned. "You…should go to the hospital."The man took another step back and shook his head silently again."Hey, if he doesn't want to go to the hospital,
