"It's okay. I didn't save him for his money." John smiled as he reached out to take the cutlery from Robyn.He had been wondering the same thing as Robyn was, but truth be told, he did not regret his decision at all. Although he had gone there for the money in the first place, it had not been his motivation when he leaped in front of the bullet.He had done it without even thinking. Even if he turned back time, he would still save that man without hesitation.Robyn sighed and shot him a rather helpless look. "But John…will you even be able to attend the public bid in your current state?"John turned pale at this. A split second later, he grinned at Robyn and said, "Of course I can. Only my shoulder is hurt, not my brain, so I'll still be able to work as usual and prepare for the bid. Don't worry. Just take care of Anne and Sammie, and I'll do the rest."With that, he glanced meaningfully at Robyn and said, "However…I need you to pretend you're sick."Robyn used to be a nurse and

John sat up in his bed at the mention of the man. He then stared at Tara with a frown. "Is he okay? Unfortunately, I passed out not long after the gunshot incident, so I didn't know what happened to him last night. I do remember that some of your men arrived just in time… Is he okay now?"Although the old man's impulsivity cost him a gunshot wound, he could understand the man's point of view. After being trapped for so many days, it was no surprise he would be utterly depleted and anxious to leave.John could not help wondering if the man contracted any illnesses from his imprisonment, considering he was old and frail.Tara furrowed her brow when she noticed John's concern. John did not appear to be faking his worry.According to Joshua, John did not know the man he saved was actually Gwen's father. Judging from his reaction, Tara knew Joshua was right.Tara smiled and replied, "He's fine. He's just a little malnourished but is recovering well. Unfortunately, he can't come visit y

"Um…"Before Tara could respond, however, Robyn piped in. "Didn't I tell you my brother suffered a gunshot wound? Well, that's because he was protecting an old man last night."They both got kidnapped, and the man was about to be killed by the kidnapper. If my brother hadn't leaped out and saved the man just in time, he would've been dead by now."Miss Moore here is a relative of the man and came to thank us."With that, she brandished the card in front of Luna and added, "She wanted to reward us in return for my brother's kindness. We desperately need the money, but my brother insisted we not accept it. He didn't want to feel like his kindness was taken as an act of ulterior motives."Luna froze when she heard this. She furrowed her brow, glancing at Tara. "That 'relative' of yours is Gwen's father, isn't he?"Luna was well aware of what happened the night before. Since Joshua's men had rescued Andy the night before and Robyn's brother had gotten shot on the same day, it did not

Luna raised her brows at Tara questioningly. "Are you saying you've known about Anne and John since six months ago?"Tara was silent for a moment before finally nodding. "Yes."She exhaled and stared solemnly at Luna. "In the past, all I had ever heard about you was that you married my long-lost cousin and were blessed with triplets. I also heard that at one point, you were close with Christian, but I didn't have any more information apart from this. One day, my aunt confided in me that you, my long-lost cousin-in-law, were none other than Moon, my favorite jewelry designer."Ever since this discovery, I started paying more attention to you and kept tabs on any news regarding you. With this, I was no stranger to your murder and trial, so I knew of Anne and John's existence."Luna's eyes widened in shock.She could not believe that Tara was secretly one of her fans, so much so that she would keep her eye out for any news of Luna even though they lived in different cities.However…

Luna furrowed her brow when she heard this.She would have to keep Gwen out of sight when John visited them. At the same time, she had to get someone else to impersonate this so-called 'Andie Larson'.At the thought of this, Luna sighed and glanced meaningfully at Tara.Tara nodded in understanding, then turned and walked back toward the elevator with Luna.As the doors shut, Tara sighed and said in a rather exhausted tone, "Thank God Robyn's memory failed her. Otherwise, all our plans would be ruined."Luna nodded. Then, she glanced at Tara and asked, "By the way, how did John even end up with Gwen's father in the first place?"Andy had been brought to Sharnwick City by Tyson's men, who kidnapped him. How did John end up kept in the same room as Andy and even took a bullet for him?Did John also get kidnapped by the same people somehow? If so, why did they do this?At the mention of this, Tara sighed and began to explain, "Well, here's what happened. Last night, we discovered
