Chapter 2394
"Have you decided to go for it, Master Moon?"
There was a newfound hint of joy in Joey's voice as he exclaimed, "Have you decided to come out of your retirement for this? If yes, I'll get in touch with Thomas Howard's assistant right now!"
With that, he hung up the phone.
Luna remained stunned as she clutched the phone in her hand, listening to the dial tone.
A split second later, she sighed and tucked her phone away.
Just as she was about to lock her phone, however, she received a message from Joey.
[Thomas Howards wants to meet you this afternoon! 1 p.m.at Bamboo House, a restaurant on the west side of the city!] Luna glanced at the time, frowning.
It was already past 11 a.m., so she would be meeting Thomas Howard in less than two hours.
How impatient was this man? The rational voice in her mind was telling her that something was wrong—that Thomas Howard must have had ulterior motives for setting up this once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity.
Luna knew that she should have discussed this with Joshua at a time like this, but...She glanced at the gazebo in the backyard, where Joshua and Jim were seated, frantically making phone calls to their subordinates.
They were already preoccupied with trying to track down Sean and Luke's assistant, so she did not feel like wasting their time with such an insignificant matter.
Therefore, she quickly found an excuse, bade Rosalyn and Charles farewell, then returned to Joshua's house.
While on the way home, she had talked to Neil on the phone about this prospective business venture, so by the time she arrived home, all three of the children were already seated on the sofa, waiting for her.
"Mommy!"
Nellie pouted, then swiveled her eyes in deep thought, and finally exclaimed triumphantly, "Maybe this celebrity secretly admires Daddy and intends to build a relationship with Daddy by working together with Mommy, which will allow him the opportunity to work with Daddy's company in the future! After all, Daddy's company is world-renowned, so surely he would want to work with him!"
Nigel glanced at her and smiled.
"If this celebrity needed the money that desperately, your theory would be right, but..."
He turned his laptop around to show the figures on the screen to Nellie and Luna.
"I managed to track some of the money in Mr.Thomas Howard's bank account."
"Tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, a hundred thousand...
"Nellie recited as she counted the number of digits on the screen.The chain of digits was so long that finally, she gave up.
