Chapter 2178


    Shockingly, the woman sitting in the dungeon was not Charlotte. Although her figure and hairstyle were


    simr to Charlotte’s…she was not her,


    The scruffy-looking woman turned and gazed at the people standing at a distance before her eyes


    finallynded on Joshua, her tears started to fall soon after. Her mouth was opened wide, yet not a


    sound came out of her. It was as if…she could not speak.

    The way the woman opened her mouth widely had Luna wondering why the woman looked very


    familiar. After careful observation, Luna’s hand flung to her mouth in her shock.


    This woman… She was… Luna bit her lip and, with a shaky voice, called out, “Are you Laura Suess?


    Dr. Suess?” The woman nodded her head vigorously while pointing at her mouth to show Luna that she


    could no longer speak.


    Luna was even more shocked upon receiving that answer from the woman. She subconsciously looked


    at Bonnie, who was standing beside her. Simrly, Bonnie’s expression was the same as Luna’s.


    Was she Laura Suess after all? A few hours ago, she seemed energized when she went to the Tea


    Cottage to kidnap June. They clearly remembered seeing her walking with a strong pace from either


    the Tea Cottage’s surveince, or the hotel’s surveince where she brought June to shave her head.


    What happened?


    How did she turn from a proud doctor who controlled the fate of others into a prisoner who looked so


    unkempt and unable to speak within a few hours?


    “This Quentin guy is even more ruthless and barbaric than I imagined,” muttered Joshua with a frown


    after seeing the situation Laura was in. “Lately, Laura has used her identity as my personal family


    physician to gather more information for Quentin. Now that he had no more use for her, he cut off her


    tongue so she can never speak in the future before locking her up in the dungeon, no longer giving her


    the chance to see daylight again.”


    Tears streamed down Laura’s face. She tried to speak by moving her mouth as she looked at Luna and


    Joshua. Luna could tell from Charlotte’s lips how she profusely apologized. 1 A person who had lived


    like any other normal person, rendered to such a rugged, despairing condition… Bonnie AUXcN=NI


    Luna felt bad for her.


    Luna, unable to stop herself, got closer to grab Laura’s hand, hoping that she could say anything she


    wanted to say to them. Her body acted before her brain could progress. By the time she realized it, she


    was already grabbing Laura’s hand with the dungeon bars between them.


    The moment she grabbed Laura’s hand, she discovered that tiny scratch wounds littered all over her


    hands. They looked like they had been inflicted with a fine, sharp steel wire. With every movement


    Laura made, her skin would flick open, and this disconcerted Luna  greatly.


    What kind of torture was this? Why would Quentin need to treat Laura this way when she had worked


    so diligently for him?


    As Luna was spacing out, the dungeon door was opened from the outside, and Laura quickly retracted


    her hand. However, before she withdrew her hand, she stuffed a paper ball into Luna’s sleeves.


    “Ms. Gibson, there’s no need for you to feel pity for her, and don’t touch her,” said Quentin, standing at


    the back. “This is a dangerous woman. We won’t be ountable if she hurts you.” The startled Luna


    quickly hid the paper ball in her palms and smiled while standing up. “I was just curious about the


    injuries on her hands.” “It’s the punishment she deserved, that’s all.”
