Chapter 2178
Shockingly, the woman sitting in the dungeon was not Charlotte. Although her figure and hairstyle were similar to Charlotte’s…she was not her,
The scruffy-looking woman turned and gazed at the people standing at a distance before her eyes finally landed on Joshua, her tears started to fall soon after. Her mouth was opened wide, yet not a sound came out of her. It was as if…she could not speak.
The way the woman opened her mouth widely had Luna wondering why the woman looked very familiar. After careful observation, Luna’s hand flung to her mouth in her shock.
This woman… She was… Luna bit her lip and, with a shaky voice, called out, “Are you Laura Suess? Dr. Suess?” The woman nodded her head vigorously while pointing at her mouth to show Luna that she could no longer speak.
Luna was even more shocked upon receiving that answer from the woman. She subconsciously looked at Bonnie, who was standing beside her. Similarly, Bonnie’s expression was the same as Luna’s.
Was she Laura Suess after all? A few hours ago, she seemed energized when she went to the Tea Cottage to kidnap June. They clearly remembered seeing her walking with a strong pace from either the Tea Cottage’s surveillance, or the hotel’s surveillance where she brought June to shave her head.
What happened?
What kind of torture was this? Why would Quentin need to treat Laura this way when she had worked so diligently for him?
As Luna was spacing out, the dungeon door was opened from the outside, and Laura quickly retracted her hand. However, before she withdrew her hand, she stuffed a paper ball into Luna’s sleeves.
“Ms. Gibson, there’s no need for you to feel pity for her, and don’t touch her,” said Quentin, standing at the back. “This is a dangerous woman. We won’t be accountable if she hurts you.” The startled Luna quickly hid the paper ball in her palms and smiled while standing up. “I was just curious about the injuries on her hands.” “It’s the punishment she deserved, that’s all.”
