Chapter 2401

Luna narrowed her eyes when she saw the image of Sean, then turned to glare at Thomas.

"What the hell do you want?"

"To work with you."

Thomas placed one hand elegantly on his knee while the other remained poised on the back of the
couch and stared back at her nonchalantly.

"This seems like a reasonable offer, doesn't it? To get two people in return for signing a contract with
me? "Nonetheless, you have another option— reject my offer and let your husband and brother
continue searching for my hostages, but "

He removed his hand from the couch, brought the cup to his lips to take a sip, then glanced
impassively at Luna.

"The fact that I captured these two people without anyone noticing means I'm fully capable of doing the
opposite: hide them someplace so obscure that neither your husband nor brother will be able to find
them in three days."

He glanced at the video displayed on the screen and added, "You can see for yourself how dirty this
dungeon is, which means it's likely infested with germs and bacteria.

If Sean were to continue staying here without changing his wound dressing in three days...

Do you think he'll be able to keep his hands?"



Finally, Thomas placed the cup back onto the coffee table and said with a contemptuous expression,
"Although I must say, the Landry and Lynch families are so rich that even if he became crippled, you'd
be able to take care of him for the rest of his life, is that right? "of course, nothing matters more than
your dignity, Ms.Luna.After all, this is aman who isn't even related to you, so why would it matter to you
that he becomes crippled?"

Luna bit her lip upon hearing this.She instinctively pressed the ring on her finger in an attempt to
contact Joshua with the hidden microphone so that he would be able to hear their conversation.

However, to her surprise, a loud screeching echoed through her hidden earpiece as soon as she
pressed the button.

The sound was so piercingly loud that she could not help furrowing her brows as panic spread through
her body.

What happened?

"Don't be nervous; the signal from your communication device was blocked, that's all," said Thomas
eloquently when he saw the confusion on Luna's face.

"You'd better turn it off altogether.Otherwise, you'd go deaf."

Luna bit her lip, fear crept into her heart.She quickly turned off the communication device and
demanded, "Who on earth are you?"

This man seemed to see right through her every thought, so much so that he could even decrypt the
hidden communication device that Nigel had made for her!

"Why does that even matter?"

Thomas sneered as he tossed a stack of documents onto the table before her.



''What matters is that you should sign this contract with me now.Otherwise, there's no telling what I'd do
to the two people I kept hostage."

Luna bit her lip as her entire body erupted into cold sweats.

What was Thomas Howard trying to do? He had kidnapped Sean and Kate to bribe her into working
with him, yet insisted on offering her such a low price for her collaboration.

Why was he trying to force her into a deal that clearly disadvantaged him more than her?

"As for what I'm trying to do, you'll find out in the future."

Thomas turned to smile at Nellie.

"You came here with your Mommy because you wanted to explain the design concept behind the
jewelry you customized for me, right?"

Nellie faltered for a moment, then nodded in reply.

"Yes...that's right."

"Okay."

He pointed at the seat next to him and smiled at her.

"Come here and explain it to me in person."
