Chapter 718 Layers Of Mysteries
Chapter 718 Layers Of Mysteries
Josh wanted to leave this world with Luna, but he dismissed this thought when he realized he couldn't face her without resolving the mystery surrounding her death.
As the night grew darker, the wind rustled through the cemetery forest.
Josh snapped out of his daze, sensing that someone was watching him. He immediately stood up.
There was a figure in the forest, but it quickly vanished into the darkness.
Josh wasn't sure if he was dreaming or hallucinating.
Nevertheless, one thing was certain—his legs were extremely sore. He stood still for a moment, gently tapped Luna's tombstone, turned around, and slowly walked away.
After he left, the figure hidden deep in the forest slowly emerged.
...
A week after Luna's death, Abigail slowly regained her composure.
The staff members at L.Moon were still unaware of Luna's passing.
Abigail had been privately searching for Martin for a long time, but to her dismay, there was no news at all.
After all, they only knew his name and nothing else. Therefore, searching for him was like finding a needle in a haystack.
"I can't find this guy at all. There are too many people named Martin Colleen," Simond scratched his head. Frustration was evident in his voice.
Abigail called Ronaldo once again.
Over the past week, she had been calling Ronaldo every day. Sometimes he would answer when he was in a good mood, and sometimes he wouldn't.
When he picked up the call, Abigail cut straight to the point. "Where is Martin?"
"I don't know," Ronaldo gave the same response.
"I must find him. I need to know who the father of Luna's child is," Abigail said to Ronaldo. "Luna has left me. I don't want her child to be left orphaned."
"Aren't you Larry's mother?" Ronaldo asked coldly. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"Ronaldo, I beg you. If you can help me find who Larry's father is and completely cure Larry, I will agree to any of your requests," Abigail pleaded humbly for the first time.
"Abigail, I am also saddened by what happened to Luna. But her death should serve as a warning. You and everyone else should stop investigating further. After all, you are just ordinary citizens. Many things take time—"
"But my best friend died. Someone injected something into her body against her will. That's why she died!" Abigail interrupted Ronaldo, her voice trembling. "I beg you, Ronaldo... I'm sorry for what happened to Alice. Once I have found Larry's father, I will apologize to you. You can even ask for my life in return."
No matter what, I can't leave Luna's death unresolved.
Ronaldo fell silent for a long time before speaking softly, "Stop investigating, Abigail. Sean, Luna, and Alice... How many more people do you plan to sacrifice?"
"I just want to know who Larry's father is!" Abigail cried. "Larry has already lost his mother. If it's me this time, I'm willing!"
Ronaldo took a deep breath. "I seriously don't know where Martin is. He had a marriage with Alice when he was young. After divorcing Alice, Martin never returned to Eastbay. He is a modern medicine doctor, whereas Alice is a traditional medicine doctor. Their different philosophies led to the breakdown of their marriage. Because of this, Alice never remarried."
Upon hearing that, Abigail immediately messaged Simond. 'Start by investigating Alice's marriage.'
"Thank you, Ronaldo." After expressing her gratitude, Abigail hung up the phone.
Simond immediately instructed his subordinates to investigate Alice's marriage.
"With this information, we should be able to find out soon," Simond assured Abigail.
"Yeah." Abigail wiped her tears. Her mood lightened up a lot.
Simond stared at her for a while before saying, "I always have a feeling that something is off about Mr. Horton. But after several investigations, we haven't found anything useful."
"Why do you feel that way?" Abigail pondered on Mr. Horton, whose full name was Charles Horton, considering him to be an ordinary individual they had coincidentally met and lost contact with.
"On the day Luna died, Mr. Horton had a conversation with her in the yard. Could it be that Luna only acted so foolishly because Mr. Horton gave her some instructions?" Simond's expression was filled with suspicion.
"It's difficult to say. Sean also encountered a similar issue on the technical side. He discovered that the turnover of a website I registered for was abnormal, but he couldn't find the reason. The turnover suddenly surged, yet the revenue flow remained normal," Abigail responded with a frown.
Upon hearing this, Simond narrowed his eyes and became lost in thought.
"It might be a local gang." After a while, he murmured, "We always assumed it was a foreign gang. Maybe we were looking in the wrong direction."
"What happened to you overseas that made you return and get involved in this?" Abigail was very curious.
"Don't ask too many questions about my affairs. If you delve too deeply—it won't be good for you." Simond smiled meaningfully.
Just as Abigail was about to speak, the office door swung open.
Sean entered with his coffee. When he saw Simond smiling at Abigail with a lowered gaze, disgust flashed across his face. "Simond, you have no business with my girlfriend. Why do you keep showing up here?"
"Can't I visit?" As Simond spoke, he glanced at the coffee in Sean's hand. "Only one cup?"
"Can't you buy it yourself if you want to drink?" Sean retorted, moving closer to Abigail.
Lately, Simond had been frequently seeking out Abigail. Sean had repeatedly warned her not to interact with Simond. Unfortunately, Abigail wouldn't listen. Since she was too eager to find out who had harmed Luna, she believed Simond when he offered to help.
