“You’ll be reunited with Uncle Andy.“
Hailey then kept her phone and left. The moment she left, Gwen received a call from Alice.
“Gwennie…“ Alice’s voice on the other end of the call sounded like she was crying. “Thank you so much
for helping me! You’re my BFF! “
Gwen gnawed more on her lip. “Don’t mention it…“
Alice chatted with Gwen excitedly for a while before she ended the call.
“Gwennie.“
Ben, who was lying on the bed, looked at Gwen helplessly. “Are you really…planning to defame Luna in
the press conference tomorrow morning?“
Gwen closed her eyes. “I have no choice.“
Even if Luna was her best friend in high school, they still did not have enough power to go against them.
Alice had the support of Hailey, while Hailey had the support of the Walter family, who was powerful
enough to control the entire Sea City.
She could not be offended.
Luna laid on the sofa and fell asleep unknowingly. After a long while, her phone rang.
It was a call from Theo.
“Luna, where are you now?“ His voice was filled with anxiety. “I just came out from the police station and
heard people start talking about you. I
immediately called Ben. He said you’ve been taken by Joshua! Are you alright? Did Joshua do anything
to you?“
“No. He took me back to the hotel. Why don’t you come to the hotel and look for me?“
Luna took a deep breath. “Ben… What else did he tell you, other than I was taken away by Joshua?“
Theo, on the other end of the call, fell silent for a while.
“He said that Gwen has her own difficulties, too.“
Theo sighed helplessly. “Who did you say was targeting you? Is it Alice? But… This is Sea City, and
Alice isn’t from here. Where did she get so much power to be able to threaten Gwen, who is a local?“
Luna closed her eyes. “I want to know as well.“ Gwen was not only a local in Sea City. Her father,
Andy Larson, even opened the largest five-star hotel in Sea City.
Technically, there were not many people who could threaten her.
Suddenly, Hailey Walter’s face appeared in Luna’s mind.
She bit her lip.
In Sea City, it seemed like only the Walter family would be able to threaten the Larsons and had Gwen
willingly submit.
She held her phone and was silent for a very long time.
“I’m on the way to your hotel. Do you want to come to get me in the lobby?“ Seeing how there was no
response from Luna, Theo smiled. “I’m afraid I ‘ll end up in the wrong room. I’m also afraid that Joshua’s
men would stop me from getting to you.“
Luna was silent for a while. She stood up. “Okay. I’ll wait for you downstairs.“
Luna hung up the call. She casually put on a coat and headed out of the door.
The moment she opened the door, the door from the room next to hers opened, too.
She subconsciously turned to look. Alice looked at her in surprise.
After a moment, her surprise turned into condescension.
“Ms. Luna, when did you get back? I heard that you colluded with Yuri and hit Lucas unconscious, just so
you could spend time with Theo.“
Alice smiled. She looked at Luna’s room behind her. “Did you come back alone? Where is Theo?“
At that, Alice seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She reached out and covered her mouth.
“Don’t tell me that Theo saw the news and got angry at you? The people of Sea City sure like to spread
rumors.“
Then, Alice smiled at Luna. “Do you know where Theo is? Why don’t I help you persuade him to be less
petty? After all, my husband, Joshua, is too exceptional. I don’t blame you.”
