Even the air seemed to freeze when Luna's blade sank into Jacqueline's abdomen.Just a few moments ago, everyone in the hall was stunned by the video shown on screen of Anne's death, but everyone's attention was gripped by the fact that Luna had stabbed another woman right in front of them!Even Jacqueline was stunned by this. She widened her eyes in horror, staring at Luna.How could this be? How did Luna dare to hurt her in front of everyone?She slowly lowered her head.The blade was entrenched deep in her abdomen, and bright red blood was seeping along the edge of the dagger, finally dripping onto the ground and staining the white floors a jarring shade of scarlet.The shock dissipated from her eyes as she stared at the blood. Then, finally, Jacqueline lifted her head to stare at Luna, a triumphant sneer on her face."Luna," she muttered, trying to stifle the excruciating pain as she sneered at the woman before her. "You're dead." The reason she had gone to such great leng
The video on the screen made Luna's eyes widen in horror and her blood run cold.The scene projected on the white screen was that of Anne being stabbed by Willow that afternoon.Willow did not know of the vengeance between Luna and Jacqueline at all. All she knew was that Luna had crossed Jacqueline in the past, which was why she ordered Willow to kidnap Anne for revenge.All she knew was that Jacqueline wanted Anne to be kidnapped and that she was not to walk out of the dungeon alive.Not only that, but Jacqueline even told her that she would video call her at night so that everyone would be able to see the live stream of Anne being killed because of Luna. Because of this, Willow thought that all Jacqueline wanted was to see Anne dead.Therefore, when Vanessa requested to meet up with her that afternoon, Willow was worried that Anne would find a way to escape while she was gone, and she would get in trouble with Jacqueline for failing to complete her task, which was why she had k
Jacqueline froze at this. "You… You're willing to sacrifice yourself for Anne?"This was impossible!Luna was not the kind of person who would do this, nor would she ever be! This was the woman who killed Fiona—her sister! How could a woman like her possibly be willing to sacrifice herself for someone else, much less a friend who had no blood connection to her at all?"Isn't this what you wanted the most?" Luna raised her brows, staring coldly at Jacqueline, and pointed the dagger at herself. "I've told you—you should take out your hatred on me, not anyone else!""Luna!" Joshua's eyes widened in shock as he watched Luna pointing the dagger at herself. He stepped forward, trying to stop her. "Don't do anything rash! Don't hurt yourself now—there might still be a chance!"Even though Luna did not know that Anne was no longer alive, Joshua knew it as clear as day.Since everything had gotten to this stage, there was no point feeling sorry about it any longer. What mattered the most
Seeing how Jacqueline was getting angrier by the minute, Luna quickly extended her hand out to stop Joshua, afraid the woman would lose her mind and hurt Anne. "Don't get involved for now."Maybe Jacqueline was right when she said Anne was just her friend from Joshua's point of view. It was normal that Joshua would not care about Anne that much.For Luna, however, it was different. Anne was her best friend.When her face was disfigured seven years ago, Anne was the person she trusted the most. She was also the person Luna went to when she had troubles.After Malcolm ruined her original face, Anne and her teachers were the ones who took time, little by little, to restore her face. Although Anne was just an intern then, she was the one person who cared about Luna among the other surgeons.The only thing the other doctors cared about was her recovery and if her restoration was a success. Anne was the only one who would ask if Luna was in pain and if Luna's decision and persistence we
"It's too late."As soon as Luna finished, Jacqueline laughed hysterically. "Kidnap you? Joshua will go crazy if I do. There's nothing he won't do when he goes crazy."The deranged look in her eyes intensified as she glared at Luna. "But it's not the same if I kidnap Anne. To you, Anne is just a friend. She doesn't matter to Joshua at all. Anne's husband, John Young, isn't a big shot. He can't do much harm to me."She then raised her brow at Luna. "But, I can give you a chance. Try to guess what's my ultimate purpose for kidnapping Anne."Jacqueline was nothing but a mad person. How could a normal person try to threaten another person by kidnapping their friend? Nonetheless, she had no choice but to follow Jacqueline's wishes to play the guessing game, even when Luna knew Jacqueline was insane.'She has Anne,' she thought.After a deep breath, she tried to suppress her emotions and looked back at Jacqueline. "You kidnap Anne so Joshua and I will admit that we killed Fiona, right?
Luna's eyebrows furrowed after hearing that. She looked at Jacqueline coldly. "What do you mean by that?"'Didn't Anne head back home with John after they dropped me and Joshua at the rented place? What does her kidnapping…has anything to do with me?' she thought.Jacqueline narrowed her eyes when she saw how confused Luna was. "What? Don't tell me you forgot. You and Anne went shopping in the afternoon. After that, you two went to that restaurant, and I went there too…""Jacqueline!" Joshua interrupted the conversation, fearing that Luna would remember everything should Jacqueline remind her of what happened in the afternoon. "I know you're Fiona's sister, but you shouldn't blame us for Fiona's death."After all, Fiona set a trap and intended to harm Luna grievously, but her plan failed. It was she who met her demise when she fell off the cliff."Who should I look for if I don't blame you two?" Immediately, Jacqueline got distracted as soon as Joshua started the topic.She turne
Joshua waved his hand to ask the staff beside the stage to carry Adrian, who passed out on the floor, away. He gave Jacqueline a cold look."Do you truly believe I'm that kind of person without the things that happened just now? Do you really think I don't know what you're up to? After how hard you try to get close to Adrian and also throw this extravagant wedding?"It just never occurred to Jacqueline that Joshua would so harshly and openly expose her. She was stunned but that did not stop her from giving a cold look to Joshua.She smiled. "I can tell you're not stupid after all."Joshua squinted. "Do you think I won't investigate you after knowing you and Adrian are getting married? Especially when you and Fiona look so alike?"As she felt her senses settling down, Jacqueline's lips curled into a smile. She gave Joshua a look and said, "That's true. But…"She looked at Joshua again before looking at Luna. "If you two are so capable, you should have known why I insisted on havin
This time, Celia did not hesitate and gathered all of the evidence she had into this recording, including the thing Adrian said to her and how they plotted to frame Rianna…to the extent that Adrian encouraged Michael to hurt Granny Lynch a year ago. In it was also how Adrian used Joshua's name to borrow money from people half a year ago.Celia recorded nearly everything Adrian said to her in the house.Adrian's face paled as he heard the recording. He bit his lip and clenched his hands into fists, and the nerves on his face protruded. "Celia Giles! How dare you do this to me? Did you record every single damn word I said to you?"Celia sneered, "Record? Do you think I'm that free to do it?"She gazed at him and shot him a cold smirk. "Have you forgotten there are surveillance cameras in the house? I was afraid you'd steal the money and spend it, so I changed the hard disk to a new one every month for the past years. I'd simply run through the old footage once and leave it at the war
