Chapter 162


    “I ‘m not a local from Banyan City, and I don’t know anyone apart from you and the Lynch family…“ Luna


    tried to protest.


    Before she could finish, however, Natasha shoved the other card into her hand and said, “Take this card


    as well… There’s a lot of money in this one, too. You can have both cards, as long as you help me find


    evidence that Aura was framed.“


    Luna lowered her gaze to look at the two cards Natasha had given her. She could recognize both of


    them. One of them was Natasha’s personal ount which contained all her life savings; Luna herself


    had helped Natasha set up the ount. The other one, however, was a card she had given Natasha just


    before she got married to Joshua. The card contained all of Luna’s own savings and assets. At that time,


    Luna knew it was rough for her parents to raise her till adulthood, yet because she was getting married


    so young, she did not know how to repay them, so she umted all her savings into an ount and


    decided to gift the card to her mother.


    Little did Luna know that many yearster, this card would make its way back to her. She cou1dn’t


    believe that, in a twist of fate, she would one day stand before her mother with a new face and identity


    and that her mother would offer her this money to help clear Aura’s name.

    “Mrs. Gibson, what if even after I investigated, the evidence still points to Aura being guilty?“


    Natasha froze. It was obvious she never expected that Luna would ask her this question.


    After a moment’s hesitation, she let out a sigh and answered,  ”Well, in that case… I have no choice but


    to ept the truth.” After finishing her sentence, Natasha closed her eyes.


    ”I have only two daughters. It’s one thing to be disappointed by my eldest, but if the other one turned out


    the same… ” Natashamented, but she trailed off before she could finish.


    Gazing at Natasha’s sunken andnguish face, Luna bit down on her bottom lip. She did not know how


    to describe her feelings at that moment. It was a maelstrom of feelings rioting in her simultaneously.


    Luna felt painfully disappointed that her own mother did not trust her at all, yet at the same time , she


    knew she could not me Natasha for feeling that way. It must have been unbearably agonizing for


    Natasha to have toe to terms with her daughter’s betrayal. Perhaps, in the past, Natasha had


    struggled to believe that Luna would do something like that, just like how she struggled to believe


    otherwise in Aura.


    ”Alright, I’ll help you, ” Luna finally said after a long silence. She heaved a sigh and stuffed the two cards


    back into Natasha’s hand. ”I don’t want your money. If in the end, I managed to find evidence that


    suggested Aura was guilty, all I ask of you is that you try to step into your eldest daughter’s shoes. It


    probably hasn’t been easy for her all these years. ”


    With that, Luna got up and left the room.


    Natasha chewed on her lip nervously. She frowned as she watched Luna’s retreating figure get further


    and further away. She could not put her finger on it, but that woman, who shared the same name as her


    eldest daughter, felt vaguely familiar to her.


    Aftering out of the hospital, Luna immediately sent Nigel the IP addresses that Natasha had given


    her.


    “What’s going on?“ Nigel asked as he turned on hisputer and began working on cracking the fake IP


    addresses.


    “I want you to help me find the location of the real address. Aura might be imprisoned there. Your


    grandmother asked me to help track Aura down and prove her innocence, “ Luna replied.


    Nigel fell into silence on the other end of the line. “Did you agree?“ he eventually asked.


    “Yes, “ Luna murmured. She heaved a sigh before continuing, “I wanted to do onest thing for my


    mother.“ She wanted to let Natasha know that Aura was not as innocent as she seemed.
