Theo drove the car to Joshua’s house.
It was probably because he did not want to be a third-wheeler, but the first thing he said when the car pulled to a halt was that he was exhausted, and he scampered into his room as soon as he got out of the car, slamming the door shut behind him.
Luna had just gotten out of the car herself when she heard Theo’s door close behind him. She was astounded by his speed and was just about to say something when her phone chimed.
She had received two photos sent by the butler at Landry Mansion.
Both of the photos were taken from an awkward angle, and the lighting was so dark that Luna had to stare at them for a long while before she finally recognized the people inside the photos.
The first one was a picture of Roanne, pressed against the ground by two burly men, her body, hands, and face covered entirely in mud. Her right hand was pinned onto the ground by Charlotte’s pointy heel.
Roanne appeared pitiful and helpless, whereas the look on Charlotte’s face was grotesque and terrifying.
The second photo was of Roanne tossed into the charred cave by the same two men, each holding onto one side of her body.
Luna bit her lip when she laid eyes on the two photos, suddenly recalling Roanne rejecting Joshua’s offer.
When Joshua had given her the option to betray Charlotte in exchange for benefits, Roanne had rejected his offer without hesitation.
Because of this, Luna thought that…Charlotte had indeed been treating Roanne like her own sister, which was why Roanne refused to betray her.
However, recalling the way Charlotte had slapped her, as well as the photographic evidence on her phone
Luna could not help feeling bad for Roanne.
Charlotte was not worth her sacrifice at all.
Seeing that Luna was standing motionless with her phone in her hand, Joshua walked over, frowning.” What’s wrong?”
Luna paused for a moment, then showed Joshua the photos that the butler had sent her. “Roanne…”
Joshua glanced impassively at the photos.
However, if he were to send a spy over, he would run the risk of being discovered by Charlotte.
Therefore, their best choice was to use Roanne, who was already one of Charlotte’s closest and most trusted people.
Luna understood what Joshua was trying to do.
“But.” She glanced once more at the photos of the screen, and a glimmer of pity flashed through her eyes.
Previously, when they were in the car, Luna was not pretending with Roanne when she iced Roanne to bring down her swelling and even asked her to take care of herself.
This was because when she had signed the contract with Mr. Hanson, Roanne had been the one to help her with her makeup, and she had left a good impression on Luna.
Even a stranger would pity her if they saw her being treated like this, much less Luna, who had truly gotten to know the girl well.
“But what?” Seeing that Luna was hesitating, Joshua stopped in his tracks and turned to glance at her impassively. “Are you trying to say you feel bad that Roanne ended up like this?”
