When Luna came out of the hospital, Charlotte was still waiting in the car.
Luna let out an exhale as she opened the door and got into the passenger seat. “Where are we going
now?”
“Back to your place so you can pack your bags,” Charlotte replied impassively as she typed on her
laptop. “Since you’re now the new CEO of Landry Group, you shouldn’t be staying in a house on the
outskirts of the city anymore.”
Luna fell silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Charlotte was right. From this day onward, she would have plenty of things to take care of for Landry
Group, and it would be inconvenient to continue staying outside the city.
However, to Luna’s surprise, when she reached her house, a few excavators were parked outside the
gate, along with groups of construction workers.
Luna stared at these gigantic machines and the workers, frowning. “What is…”
“Now that you have acquired a new and nobler status, you left too many traces of you living here in the
past,” Charlotte explained curtly. “Therefore, we have to destroy this place to prevent any trouble from
occurring after you move out of here.”
Luna’s entire body stiffened.
She had been living here for almost a year, and this place bore plenty of memories for her.
Not only that but her and Joshua’s child had been born here, too.
Why did they have to destroy this house just because she was going to move out?
Luna bit her lip. “We don’t have to go to such lengths, do we? Can’t we just empty this place and clean it
up after I leave?”
“Absolutely not.” Charlotte’s voice was stern and hard as she said, “All the decorations, furnishing, and
even the lawn was catered to your preferences and taste, so it’d be easy for someone to catch onto your
habits and behavioral patterns if they were to study this house.”
Luna furrowed her brows, still unable to understand Charlotte’s decision. She fell silent for a moment,
then tried to explain, “But this house is perfectly intact… And on top of that, it carries a lot of good
memories I’d like to hold onto…” 1
Charlotte lifted her head to stare at Luna when she heard this. She fixated her penetrating gaze
on Luna’s face. “‘What kind of memories? Memories of vou and Joshua? Or the fear and anxiety
you went through while bearing his child?”
Luna froze and, for a split second, did not know what to say.
Charlotte lowered her head to continue typing on her laptop. “Go pack your bags. I’ll help you pick out
the servants and bodyguards that’ll follow you to Landry Mansion, and as for the ones that failed the
selection process, I’ll dismiss them with their pay. +
“Also, if your friends don’t mind, they can follow you to live at Landry Mansion too.”
Luna let out a sigh and finally got out of the car to pack her things.
However, to her surprise, neither Theo nor Gwen was there.
The servants claimed that Gwen had been taken away by Luke, but they had no idea where Theo had
gone.
After instructing the servants to help her pack her things, Luna called the two of them as she moved her
bags into the car, but no matter how many times she called, she could not get through to them at all.
Finally, she had no choice but to get in the car after Charlotte, her mind full of doubts and confusion.
Not long after their car exited onto the main road, a loud rumbling came from behind them.
Luna could clearly see from the rearview mirror that the house she had lived in for almost a year had
been demolished.
She closed her eyes as a twinge of pain shot through her heart.
She felt as though the same house she had built inside her heart to house her feelings for Joshua had
been demolished as well.
Lynch Mansion.
Theo watched the news on the television quietly.
The news said that after being acquitted, Luna had made up her mind to focus on running Landry Group
and thus had demolished the house she had been living in and instead moved into Landry Mansion. This
was to prove her determination never to leave the Landry family ever again.
“I can’t believe Luna would destroy that house.” Theo let out a sigh and turned to glance at Joshua, who
was doing some work on the sofa. “I guess she’s made up her mind to fight with you till the end.”
Joshua’s hands, which were typing on his keyboard, stiffened when he heard this. A split second later, he
let out a chuckle. “But I don’t feel like fighting with her anymore.”
