“Why are you so scared to see me? I ‘m not going to eat you.“ Jason sneered and dragged Joshua’s
plate toward him and started eating. “Mr. Lynch told me when he let me out that as long as I behaved, he
wouldn’t lock me up again.“
He grinned at Luna, exposing a row of neat, white teeth. “Mr. Lynch ordered me not to hurt you, so of
course I won’t, Ms. Luna.“
With that, he glanced at the small group of men that lurked around the beach in the distance and said, “
With Luke Jones’ men protecting you, I wouldn’t dare hurt you either, even if Mr. Lynch allowed me to.”
Luna started to tremble when she stared at the man before her. She frowned and said in a soft voice,
sounding as if she was millions of miles away, “ Joshua…was the one who let you out?“
“Of course, “ Jason lied through his teeth. “Mr. Lynch was the one who locked me up, so how else would
I be able to escape if not for his help?“
Luna felt as though someone had torn a hole in her heart when she heard this.
The reason Joshua had locked Jason up was that he had snuck into Luna’s apartment at night and tried
to kill her. All of a sudden, he released Jason without even asking her…
“Ms. Luna, please believe me.“ Jason seemed to know exactly what she was thinking. He took another
bite out of his taco and bared his teeth in a mischievous grin. “Don’t forget that Mr. Lynch and I have
been working together for six years. We’re old friends now.
“He was the one who hired me six years ago, remember?“
Luna gripped the hem of her shirt tightly. Jason was right.
Joshua was the one who had hired him to hit her six years ago, causing her to fall off Bay Bridge. They
had a special relationship.
When she thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and lifted her head to stare at the man before her. “
Joshua let you out because…he had a task for you?“
“Of course,“ Jason smirked and recalled what Alice had told him.
“Mr. Lynch is a businessman. Therefore, there are some things that he needs done, but at the same
time, he can’t allow his own men to do. Unemployed, homeless good -for-nothings like me are his most
favorite people to work with. I need money, and he needs people to do his dirty work. We both need each
other.“
Then, Jason fished out a hospital discharge form from his pocket and slammed it down on the table
before Luna. “So, Ms. Luna, since you are Mr. Lynch’s friend and employee, I won’t make things difficult
for you. If you sign this discharge form, I won’t bother you anymore, and I ‘ll go to the mental institution to
discharge Bonnie myself.“ He gazed at her with anticipation in his eyes.
“She’s a perfectly normal human being, so she can’t possibly stay in a mental institution forever. The
longer she stays there, the more insane she’ll become. I know you’re trying to stop me from claiming her
inheritance for myself, but have you ever thought about this? What good would all this money do for her
if she turned crazy? On the contrary, now that I have Mr. Lynch to rely on, there’s nothing you can do to
stop me at all.“
Luna felt her heart jolt when she heard this and closed her eyes.
As much as she was unwilling to, she had to admit that Jason was right.
Joshua had his back, and he would be safe and sound for the rest of his life, but it was not the same for
Bonnie.
Could she survive the rest of her life in a mental institution?
Luna’s entire body started to shake when she laid eyes on the hospital discharge form on the table.
She always thought Joshua understood why she wanted to keep Bonnie locked up. She always thought
Joshua would not forgive a scumbag like Jason so easily, much less release him so soon.
However, she forgot to take one thing into consideration: Joshua was a scumbag himself.
Jason quickly finished his food and set his plate down. “Don’t worry about making a decision right now,
Ms. Luna. I’ll give you some time to consider it. I’ll come back again in three days to retrieve this
discharge form.”
Jason stood up, let out a yawn, and stretched. ”Mr. Lynch is too kind. He knew I hadn’t eaten all day and
prepared dinner for me. ” With that, he strode away.
