Chapter 1755


    However, Charlotte did not seem bothered at all when faced with Luna’s anger.


    She had already nned out an excuse for this before Luna returned to Merchant City.


    Seeing how outraged Luna was, Charlotte let out a sigh and walked over to grab hold of Luna’s hand.


    “Don’t be angry; listen to me.”


    Luna flung her hand away and took a small step back. “I’m listening.”


    Charlotte let out an exhale and said, “It’s not that I didn’t care about you at all. I was just worried that if


    you had known, you wouldn’t have been able to act naturally, so I chose not to tell you about the party


    last night. As for ignoring your cries of help…”


    Charlotte sighed and exined, “I don’t know if you noticed this, but no one at that partyst night was


    on their phones.


    “The reason being, Mr. Hanson had installed a signal blocking device in that room, and even though we


    were using the bestmunication devices, it was only sufficient to ensure temporarymunication,


    and any signal after that was blocked off.


    “We tried to get in touch with you, but no matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t.


    “After that, I went to the restaurant to find you myself, but when I got there, you were gone.”


    Luna’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.


    Her memory was a little hazy after being drugged the night before, and at this moment, no matter how


    hard she tried to remember, she could not recall if anyone had been on their


    phones that night.


    It seemed that…Charlotte was right.


    Seeing Luna’s attitude had softened, Charlotte shot her a concerned nce and said, “Think about it: did


    you take your bag with you when Joshua left? If I hadn’t gone to find you, how would I have managed to


    retrieve your bag and get my hands on the videos and recordings?”


    Finally, she took a step forward to grab hold of Luna’s hands earnestly. “I admit that Imitted a


    mistakest night, which was failing to equip you with the bestmunication devices on the market.


    “Don’t worry; I won’t allow you to go on such dangerous missions ever again!”


    Even if Luna wanted to, there were no such missions again in the future.


    Luna bit down on her lip when she felt Charlotte’s sincerity, as well as the warmth spreading through her


    palms. All the anger had dissipated at this point.


    Just as she was about to say something, a cold male voice rang out from the other end of the hallway,


    “Luna!”


    It was Jim.


    Charlotte immediately panicked. She let go of Luna’s hand and, without another word, scampered up the


    stairs to hide in the stairwell a floor above.


    As soon as she disappeared, the door to the stairwell was pushed open.

    Jim strode in and grabbed hold of Luna’s arm. “What are you doing here? Who are you talking t


    0?”


    Luna quickly came to and shook her head. “No one. I was on a call with Theo, talking about visiting


    Gwen.”


    Jim let out a sigh when he saw Luna’s pale face. “Charlotte was the one who had helped youtely,


    wasn’t she?”


    Luna paused for a moment, then nced in the direction Charlotte had disappeared in. She tried to deny


    the truth, blurting, “No, I…”


    “Don’t lie to me; Heather has told me everything.” Jim let out an exhale and patted Luna’s shoulder.


    “She’s not a good person, so don’t get fooled by her.


    “As for what happenedst night, it appears as though you had sessfully managed to do business


    with Mr. Hanson after threatening him, but do you know what’ll happen from here?”


    He stared at her with a stern expression and continued, “The reality is, you have lost the right t o attend


    other parties and gatherings and thus lost your opportunity to socialize with other businesspeople.”
