“You still wouldn’t tell me, would you?” Luna said with a cold smile at the grunts in front of her. “It’s fine. There comes a time when you’ll be begging to tell me, and it’ll be too late by then.”

The one who supported her was Alexander. The famous Alexander White. So she wasn’t afraid at all.

“Fine!” Dyson gritted his teeth and said, “It’s Trumble. Trumble Springfield was the one that looked for me. He wanted me to teach you a lesson.”

If the recording just now reached the hands of others, his reputation would be completely gone from this area.

Luna scowled. Trumble Springfield was the elder brother of the original’s stepmother.

She didn’t even have to guess who was behind all this. Flora Springfield. She was impressed.

She had just helped her daughter take her first step into the Oaks’ front door, and she couldn’t even wait to finish her off now that she was useless to her!

“They’re all yours to deal with!” Luna looked at the five men and didn’t say anything before turning and leaving.

“Wait, the recording! Luna Brooke…”

Luna didn’t even turn around and said, “Don’t worry. As long as you keep to yourself, this recording will never appear in this corner of the world.”

“…”

Once she returned to the mansion, she then copied it into the computer, and then connected to her Bluetooth earpiece.

There wasn’t anything useful in the laboratory. They were all simply chatting.

It seemed that Clarence knew that the things inside were no longer critical to him, and therefore didn’t continue to be worried about them.

If that was the case, then she should go to the laboratory and take back the bug.

With that thought in mind, she then gave Clarence a call.

Maybe it was because she had helped Clarence get together with his one true love, he didn’t let her wait for long before picking up the call.

“Luna?” She could hear the confusion in Clarence’s voice, as well as some surprise.

Luna didn’t beat around the bush and said to him, “I’ve finished my medicine. Last time, when I went to your laboratory, they said that all the meds are gone. Is that true?”

Clarence was slightly stunned before replying, “We don’t have any anymore. You already have Alexander White, do you even need me?”

This sentence was somewhat sarcastic.

“If you don’t have any, then that’s fine. I was just asking,” Luna said in a matter-of-fact tone. “But your lab’s key card is with me. I’ll return it to you soon. Are you still in the lab?”

Clarence just wanted to say something, but Eve’s voice had already reached him, “Clarence, who’s calling you?”

Luna was the only one that was shocked this time. Didn’t they say that the two of them should contact each other at this time? These two were really inseparable.

“No. Just give it to Grant when you’re there. Alright, I’m hanging up!”

Clarence hung up the call immediately as if he was afraid that Luna would notice who was by his side.

Luna rolled her eyes. She didn’t have the time to report them!

She drove to the laboratory to return the keycard. She retrieved the tapping device when no one was paying attention to her and successfully completed her objective for coming to the place.

Luna was quite tired that day. Once she was back to the mansion, Mrs. Niles brought over a cup of warm milk and greeted her, “Madam.”

Luna thanked her as she grabbed the cup. “Mrs. Niles, what are we having tonight? I’m somewhat hungry.”

Mrs. Niles then asked, “I bought two fresh fish today. Do you want them steamed or fried?”

Luna nodded and said, “Steam them then! Oh, right. Did Alexander say when he’ll be back?”

Mrs. Niles shook her head and said, “No. You can ask him directly.”

Luna then drank her milk, and then asked her curiously, “Alexander wouldn’t tell you when he would come home in the past?”

“He would,” Mrs. Niles replied. “However, ever since you moved in, Mr. White has never informed us anymore. Perhaps because there was someone at home now, he didn’t have to worry that no one would eat my cooking.”

Luna coughed lightly and then asked her, “So no other women have ever lived in this house other than me?”

Mrs. Niles answered very quickly, “You’re the first one, madam.”

This time, Luna didn’t want to say anything anymore. She hadn’t expected that Alexander would be so squeaky clean even with his personal life.

But if she were to give it some thought, he must be quite lonely to come back to such an empty house!

She was suddenly quite curious. What would Alexander do after work when she wasn’t around?

It was night time and Alexander finally made it back home.

“You’re home!”

Luna turned her head as she sat on the sofa, holding a cushion. Her smile was bright and warm.

Although Alexander was slightly tired, all the fatigue magically disappeared at this moment.

“I’m home,” Alexander changed his clothes and shoes, and then sat down next to Luna and said, “I heard that you were quite bold this afternoon?”

He was quite surprised that even Dyson Suth wasn’t her match.

He always thought that she only knew a little martial arts.

Luna smiled and said, “Nope. I’m just a weak little girl. I still need you to protect me!”

Alexander didn’t believe her at all. Instead, he smacked her head with his hand. “It’s Trumble Springfield. What do you want to do? Need my help?”

Luna gave it a thought and said, “Of course! If it’s me alone, I couldn’t handle him at all.”

Alexander smiled and asked, “Is it? There’s a time when you can’t handle someone?”

He didn’t believe it, though.

Luna turned around and looked at him, then said, “I can’t stop myself from falling for you for one.”

“What a sweet tongue.” Despite saying that, the smile on his face became even wider.

They watched the television for a while when Mrs. Niles and the butler prepared dinner. “Master White, Madam, dinner is served.”

The two of them sit by the table. Luna tasted the fish, and then gave Mrs. Niles a big thumbs up and said, “This is so good! It’s like a 5-star chef cooked it!”

“As long as you like it.” Mrs. Niles shook her head with a smile and left.

Luna glanced at Alexander and said, “It’s too bad that you can’t eat this.”

Alexander then said, “It’s fine. I’m used to it. There are so many things that I like to eat, I can’t have all of them.”

Not to mention that he felt rather happy just watching her eat.

Luna gave it some thought and said, “What would you do after work when I wasn’t around?”

“Read books, look at documents, sometimes watch a movie,” Alexander said in surprise. “Why did you suddenly ask about this?”

Luna prepared not to hear his question, “Watch a movie? With whom?”

Alexander chuckled. “Who else? Just myself.”

He would rather watch alone than together with all the other women that wanted to watch it with him.

Luna answered okay and then said, “Can I accompany you from now on?”

Alexander glanced at her and said, “Depends on how you perform.”

Luna pouted. “Fine, I’ll watch with someone else instead.”
