Chapter 2400

Luna narrowed her eyes upon hearing this.She pulled Nellie closer to her and met Thomas' gaze,
sneering.

"So the reason you got in touch with Joey to set up an urgent meeting with me...was to insult me in
person?"

Luna knew she had been behaving impulsively and should have noticed the observations that Nellie
had made, but it was almost impossible for her to remain calm in a situation where her child's safety
was at risk.She had been questioning Thomas' motives since the beginning, and when he expressed
his longing to have Nellie become his daughter and get to know her better...she could not help putting
her guard up.She had already lost a daughter; she could not allow herself to lose another.

She did not want to go through the pain of losing her daughter— or the immense sorrow she had
experienced when she thought Neil had died—once more.

This was why she had placed all her attention on protecting Nellie and overlooked the fact that Thomas
had not expressed any signs of adoration toward Nellie at all, as he claimed.

"Why are you so apprehensive toward me, Ms.Luna?"

Thomas chuckled when he noticed Luna's rage, then crossed his legs elegantly and said, "After all, no
matter what happens, I'm sure we'll become business partners anyway."

Luna narrowed her eyes.

"I don't feel like working with you anymore, Mr.Howard."



If Thomas Howard were to become her ambassador, there was no doubt it would be a great help to the
start of her career, but...

She would do perfectly fine, even without his help! Luna was confident that her career would be smooth
sailing, even if she did not reestablish her career with her old pseudonym, Moon, or enlist Thomas
Howard's help.

After all, she was experienced and possessed natural talent in jewelry design, so she knew she would
be able to succeed eventually.

She did not have to force herself to work with someone she did not like just to speed up the process.

"Is that so?"

Thomas picked up his phone and tapped on the screen.

All of a sudden, a screen rolled down from the wall behind Luna, an image was projected onto it.

Luna furrowed her brows as she glanced at the screen.

Just one glance made her entire body freeze as though she had been struck by lightning.

The video displayed a dark, moldy dungeon where two people were restrained.

One was Sean, and the other was a petite woman with short hair that she had never seen before.

The woman kept spouting words of vulgarity in frustration, whereas Sean's face was pale and
defeated.

His hands were still wrapped with bandages, and he was tied onto a chair with his head lowered in
silence.



This scene stunned Luna so much that she was speechless for a few moments.

A split second later, she clenched her fists.

She should have known.She should have believed her instinct.

Thomas Howard was involved in Sean and Kate's disappearance! She thought Sean had accompanied
Kate to the fan meeting with Thomas Howard, but according to this video, the truth was much more
sinister than she had thought.

Thomas Howard had captured and imprisoned Sean and Kate as hostages.

This made perfect sense.

Even though Sean was still young, he was an honest and responsible man, so why would he have left
the house that Jim and Luke had settled him in without reason?
