Luna looked to the side, not answering Jim’s question.
Looking at the scenery outside through the car window, Luna deftly changed the topic as she flatly
remarked, “Jim, didn’t you say that you’ve sent someone to investigate Heather’s death? Was it truly an
accident?”
Jim furrowed his brows and stopped harping on the previous question.
“It doesn’t look like a pure accident. There is usually no one in that area. Also, Merchant City has strict
rules and controls on trucks. That truck shouldn’t have appeared there at that time. Not only did the truck
appear, but it also coincidentally crashed into Heather on such a wide road, killing her.”
Jim looked out of the window and added, “Looks to me that it’s highly likely someone’s doing. Also, no
one could contact Malcolm after Heather’s death. Not only did he empty the mansion that he and
Heather were staying in, but he also burned it to the ground.”
Luna bit her lip and stayed silent for a while before saying, “Malcolm isn’t a reckless person. If it weren’t
necessary, he wouldn’t have set the mansion on fire.”
Perhaps there were some important clues to why he hurt Heather in the mansion.
Jim naturally knew what Luna was thinking.
“I’ll continue looking into it.”
His instincts told him that there was a larger conspiracy behind Heather’s death.
Perhaps it was because she had too much on her mind that after Heather’s funeral, Luna had two days
of high fever.
It was just nice that the company did not need her help for those few days, so Jim gave her a leave of
absence.
On the third night, Luna’s fever finally subsided. Although she was still not feeling very well, she still
called Theo and planned to visit Gwen at Luke’s house.
Previously, after Gwen’s huge bleeding, she did not stay at the hospital, and Luke brought her straight
home. Luna was worried for Gwen.
Although she could not rescue Gwen from Luke’s house arrest, if she could visit Gwen and see
that she was fine, Luna would be relieved.
Also, the person that Luna instructed to send Heather’s ashes to Sea City had returned. Not only did he
accomplish what Luna told him to do, but he also brought back many Sea City specialties.
Before leaving the house, Luna specially packed the specialties of Sea City. She wanted to cheer Gwen
up and let her have a taste of home.
Luna and Theo happily went to visit Gwen, but they did not expect that they would be refused entry by
Luke’s men.
“Luke said that Ms. Larson needs her rest! She will not see anyone!”
Luna and Theo stood at the entrance of the mansion with two huge bags. No matter how they tried to
persuade the guard, it was to no avail.
They even demanded to see Luke, but the guard refused them on the grounds that Luke did not want to
see anybody.
Just when they were about to give up from all the anxiety, a black Masevati stopped behind them.
A tall man in a black suit got out of the car gracefully. He swept Luna and Theo a calm glance.
“Do you all need any help?”
Seeing that it was Joshua, Luna furrowed her brows a little. She greeted him insincerely, turned, and left.
Luna would still blush at the thought of Joshua hugging her when Heather passed away.
Habit was a terrible thing.
She had already cut ties with Joshua at Rachel’s research facility in Lincoln City because Joshua
mocked her for using her body to do business.
However, when she was helpless and afraid, she still could not refuse his hugs.
At the thought that she was mocked by him for using her body in the morning yet hugging and sobbing in
his arms by the afternoon, Luna was extremely embarrassed.
She did not want to see Joshua nor face him.
However, Theo did not know anything about this. Not only did he not follow Luna, but he even pulled her
back, smiled, and looked at Joshua. “We do need help.”
