In the evening, Luna received the information from Malcolm. It was detailed. It showed in detail the
information of every single person who was protecting Aura.
Luna could recognize a few of them. She has even met some of them before.
They were indeed Joshua’s men.
Her heart grew colder as she flipped through the documents.
All these men were once Joshua’s cronies. How would these men dare to protect Aura without Joshua’s
orders?
At that thought, she switched off her computer, reached her hand out, and clutched her forehead.
She has already known Joshua for many years. She once thought that she knew him well.
Six years ago, the things that Joshua had done to her for Aura was a huge sudden blow to her, sending
her to the pits of hell.
Six years later, once again, she thought she knew him. She returned to him, wanting to take something
from him so that she could cure Nigel.
However, she realized that she still did not know him well enough. He was probably the only person that
she could never fully understand in her life.
“Luna.“
Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. It was Gwen.
Luna shook her head, shrugging all the complicated thoughts away.
She was going to leave Sea City with Joshua the next day. Her business trip has come to an end.
After this, she did not know when she would be able to meet Gwen again. She should properly bid Gwen
and Ben farewell.
She collected her emotions, got up, and followed Gwen out.
Because Ben’s leg was injured, so the farewell celebration that night was only Gwen and Luna.
Gwen took Luna to the food stand that they used to frequent back in high school.
There were many people there that evening. It was rather lively.
Gwen poured some wine. She smiled at Luna bitterly. “You and I have been friends for so many years. I
almost sold you out. I blame myself terribly. I will drink to you.“
Luna helplessly picked up her glass of fruit juice. “ Don’t drink too much. Furthermore, you never sold me
out. You were risking your father’s life to help me, don’t blame yourself.“
Gwen pursed her lips. She wanted to say something else but stopped herself.
She picked up her glass of wine and downed it in one go.
Actually, before the press conference that morning, she received Joshua’s message that her father was
safe. That was only why she dared to tell the truth of how Luna was not the mistress.
Also…
The incident where Hailey respectfully called Alice Ms. Hailey.
She still did not dare to tell Luna about that. Initially, she wanted to tell Luna, but Hailey’s death that day
was a huge blow to her.
If she were to tell Luna, would she be the next one to get killed?
At that thought, Gwen bit her lips hard. She raised her glass once more and downed the wine.
That meal, Gwen drank a lot.
Initially, Luna thought that Gwen was just sad because they were parting ways, but later on, she realized
that Gwen seemed to have something on her mind.
“Luna. I’m sorry.“
On the way back, Gwen kept repeating this.
Luna helplessly hugged her. “What is there to be sorry about?“
“I have been keeping things from you.“ Gwen closed her eyes. She cried and laughed at the same time.
When Luna sent Gwen back to her house, at the entrance, the intoxicated Gwen turned around and
stuffed a letter into Luna’s hands.
“A… love letter from me. Open it when you’re back in Banyan City.”
Luna did not know whether to laugh or cry. She kept the letter and sent Gwen to the entrance of her
house.
Once she made sure that Gwen had returned home, Luna let out a long sigh and got in the taxi.
“Your friend is very drunk, ” The taxi driver chuckled lightly, “miss, the hotel that you’re going to is quite
far from here. If you’re bored, you can sleep for a while. You look tired.”
Luna shook her head. “I’m fine.”
However, Luna did not know why the moment she said that, grogginess washed over her. She leaned
back in the backseat dizzily and closed her eyes.
The taxi driver smiled maliciously and went the opposite direction from the hotel.
