“Um…”
Before Tara could respond, however, Robyn piped in. “Didn’t I tell you my brother suffered a gunshot wound? Well, that’s because he was protecting an old man last night.
“They both got kidnapped, and the man was about to be killed by the kidnapper. If my brother hadn’t leaped out and saved the man just in time, he would’ve been dead by now.
“Miss Moore here is a relative of the man and came to thank us.”
With that, she brandished the card in front of Luna and added, “She wanted to reward us in return for my brother’s kindness. We desperately need the money, but my brother insisted we not accept it. He didn’t want to feel like his kindness was taken as an act of ulterior motives.”
Luna froze when she heard this. She furrowed her brow, glancing at Tara. “That ‘relative’ of yours is Gwen’s father, isn’t he?”
Luna was well aware of what happened the night before. Since Joshua’s men had rescued Andy the night before and Robyn’s brother had gotten shot on the same day, it did not take long for her to connect the dots.
She guessed that Tara came to reward Robyn’s brother on Gwen and Andy’s behalf.
At the thought of this, she frowned. “Did something happen to Gwen?”
Since Robyn’s brother had saved Andy’s life, it made no sense that Gwen would send someone else to do her bidding instead of coming to thank him herself.
The only explanation was that she was preoccupied with something else. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Tara sheepishly chuckled. She never imagined the truth would spill out of Robyn’s mouth.
At this point, she knew there was no point lying to Luna anymore. “You’re right. I’m here on behalf of Gwen to thank Robyn’s brother. Nothing happened to her or her father. He’s just recovering from malnourishment, that’s all.”
Luna’s frown grew even deeper when she heard this. “Well, if that’s the case, why didn’t she come herself?”
Since when were Gwen and Tara so close that she would send Tara to do her bidding?
Tara paused, not knowing how to explain this. She knew Luna would find out the truth eventually, so she decided not to hide it any further.
She turned to Robyn and asked, “Miss Young, can you tell me again what your brother’s name is?”
This confused Robyn. How could Tara not know John’s name? They were soon-to-be business partners!
As puzzled as she was, she answered, “My brother’s name is
…John Young.”
She even shot Tara a rather quizzical look. “Miss Moore, your memory isn’t serving you anymore. How can you forget that?”
She failed to notice the expression on Luna’s face as soon as she heard John’s name.
Tara knew immediately from the stunned look on Luna’s face that she had played the right move. She smirked, then shoved the card back into Robyn’s hand. “I don’t take back what I’ve given out. If John insists on giving this money back to me, he should come to me himself instead of sending someone else to do it.”
With that, she turned to glance at an astonished Luna. “Let’s go, Luna.”
