    Chapter 500 Secretly Taken Away


    During the days of searching for his sister, Josh couldn’t help but yearn for her return.


    When Kelly finally came home, he believed he treated her well, amodating her in every


    way.


    However, the longer they spent together, the more he found Kelly annoying. Not only did she like to


    scheme behind his back, but she also often tried to sow discord before their parents.


    She imed to like Abigail in words, but she always portrayed herself as the victim. recounting how


    much she had suffered at Abigail’s hands.


    Kelly couldn’t believe that Josh would speak to her in this tone. She choked up and asked, her voice


    trembling, “Josh, are you fed up with me now? You’ve found someone you like, and now you can’t


    stand me?”


    Josh’s tone was cold as he replied, “I have my own things to deal with. Don’t use Luna’s disappearance


    to manipte me. Besides, spending every day with you, going shopping and such, has be


    tiresome. Let me have a break for a couple of days.”


    He finished speaking and promptly hung up.


    Kelly quickly withdrew her pitiful look. Then, she forcefully mmed her phone onto the bed.


    Meanwhile, Josh turned to Sean after ending the call.


    “I went to her ce, but she didn’t open the door. When I called again, she said she’s at Capitalis. Do


    you think it’s possible?” Josh’s tone carried both urgency and restlessness.


    Sean looked at him and asked, “Did she mention where exactly in Capitalis?”


    “No, she just said she’s out traveling and told me not to look for her,” Josh furrowed his brows. and


    replied.


    “She’s definitely not at Capitalis. Saying she’s there was just a ploy to get you to go back. Besides,


    don’t you think Kelly has been keeping you with her all the time, not letting you


    Josh, realizing this, replied, “My sister can be a bit willful, and her character isn’t as good as we


    thought. But I believe Luna’s situation has nothing to do with her. She just doesn’t like


    Luna.”


    “You still refuse to believe that Kelly has issues,” Sean said with a cold expression.

    “She’s still my sister,” Josh replied sternly.


    Sean leaned back in his chair and said, “Alright, take some men, then go and pry open the door.


    Regardless of what happens, search every corner of the house thoroughly.”


    Josh stood up, determined. “I’m going to take care of it right now!”


    Sean looked at his retreating figure and advised, “Be careful.”


    Josh felt like there was an underlying message in Sean’s words, but he didn’t dwell on it.


    Following Sean’s instructions, Josh and his team forced open Luna’s door. He immediately


    check every ce someone could hide.”


    He stood at the doorway, his face stern, watching as the team entered one by one to search Luna’s


    ce.


    After a thorough search, the team leader spoke up. There are no signs of recent habitation in this


    ce.”


    Josh walked further into the room, squinting at theyout. There were only a few ces someone could


    hide, and if Luna and the kidnapper were here, they should have been easily found…


    Yet, Sean had insisted that Luna hadn’t left the house. So, where could she be?


    Suddenly, Josh stopped at the bathroom. He looked at the window, and after a while, as if he had


    figured something out, he hurried over.


    He swiftly opened the window, stuck his head out, and saw why Sean had made a mistake.


    The bathroom in this building was slightly recessed, with walls on both sides. It would be very easy to


    quietly move Luna out.


    He immediately called Sean to tell him about it.


    After the call was connected, he quickly ryed what he had seen and said, “I’ll continue to investigate


    this matter. She’s my girlfriend, and I have a responsibility to be involved in your n.”


    “Josh, keep calling her. Act as if nothing’s wrong, just like usual. Pretend she’s angry at you and is


    hiding.” Sean said in a low voice.


    He wanted Josh to be involved but not to interfere.


    Josh fell silent for a moment before asking Sean, “What are you hiding from me? Luna’s

    disappearance isn’t simple, is it?”


    Sean said indifferently, “I can’t give you a clear exnation right now, but just trust me.”


    “You expect me to trust you when Luna is missing? You’re not her boyfriend. Of course, you’re not as


    concerned!” Josh’s voice rose with frustration.


    Sean’s tone grew impatient as he snapped, “Where’s the Josh from the old days when you helped


    Abigail investigate things?”


    Josh fell into a contemtive silence.


    “Listen to me on this matter. I promise Luna will be safe,” Sean said calmly.


    Josh gradually calmed down, his voice steady as he asked Sean, “Apart from asking her whereabouts,


    do you have any other requests?”


    “Just keep bothering her. I need to track her phone. It’ll be hard to locate her if it’s turned off. Just argue


    with her, but don’t end the call. Basically, do your best to disrupt her emotions,”


    Sean advised.


    Josh inhaled deeply before he finally said, “Alright, I’ll do as you say!”


    After Sean hung up, Josh immediately dialed Luna’s number.


    It didn’t take long for Luna to answer.


    “I told you, I’m on a trip. Why do you keep calling?” Luna said in irritation.


    Josh’s voice carried a hint of grievance as he murmured, “Where are you in Capitalis? I came back to


    find you. I miss you, and there’s no one at your ce.”


    “I just want some time alone. Can you please stop bothering me?” Luna’s tone was impatient.
