Luna finally began to relax when she heard this. She let out a sigh of relief and asked, “Where are you
now? Where can I meet you?”
Even though Joshua was already on his way to rescue Thomas and Yannie, Luna still felt that it would
be better if she went as well since she had already promised Mrs. Flores to help Yannie.
Besides, even if she had not made that promise, she and Yannie were friends, so she had to check on
her.
Joshua hesitated for a moment before replying, “I have some men stationed outside your hotel room to
protect you. You can go out and request them to bring you here.
“Howard Mansion is closer to you than it is to me, so you might even make it there before I do.”
Luna paused for a moment, returned to the room, and flung open the front door.
A few bodyguards dressed in black were standing outside, and all of them froze as though they had not
expected her to suddenly check in on them. “Ma‘am...”
A surge of warmth spread into Luna‘s heart when she saw this. She pursed her lips and said into the
phone, “Have you...been keeping an eye on me this whole time?”
She thought Joshua had been so busy that he would not have the time to check on her.
“That‘s right.” Joshua nodded. “These men have been watching over you all this while, but
unfortunately, the last batch of guards weren‘t responsible enough and didn‘t notice Gwen sneaking out
on the day she got drunk, so I switched all of them out. Since they‘re new, I‘m guessing they wouldn‘t
dare to commit such a mistake.”
Then, he curled his lips into a smile and added, “Lucas was the one who hand–picked them, so I‘m
sure they‘re trustworthy enough.” Luna pursed her lips when she heard this. “Thank you.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
“What happened?”
Rachel and Gwen had come up behind her when they noticed Luna opening the door all of a sudden.
They had that foreboding feeling that something was wrong.
Luna glanced at them and hesitated for a moment before grabbing their hands. “Let‘s go. I‘ll explain
everything on the way.”
Then, she glanced at the guards and said, “Bring us to Howard Mansion.”
The guards froze for a moment, then led the three women downstairs and into the car.
As soon as they got into the car, Luna finally sighed and explained everything to Gwen and Rachel.
Finally, she furrowed her brow and added, “I hadn‘t wanted to bring you along, but...” After all, she
could not be sure if it was truly safe to bring them there.
“I can‘t help feeling that ...” She glanced at Gwen. “You need something to distract you from thinking
about Steven. Not only that...”
She turned to glance at Rachel. “You‘re a doctor, and according to what I heard from Mrs. Flores,
Thomas and Yannie had probably been poisoned. “I‘m guessing that Joshua probably hadn‘t thought of
this possibility yet, so he probably wouldn‘t have thought of bringing a doctor with him.”
“Don‘t worry,” Rachel piped up. “Even though I‘m not as good of a chemist as your mother, I‘m still far
better than most doctors when it comes to toxicology.”
The car soon arrived at Howard Mansion.
Joshua was right; their hotel was so close to Howard Mansion that Joshua‘s car was still nowhere in
sight when they arrived.
Luna immediately got out of the car and instructed her men to kick down the front door without waiting
for Joshua.
