Chapter 2752” . Luna paused for a moment, then nodded. “Alright. Send me an email with the audio recordings,
and I‘ll listen to them right now.” She then hung up the phone. As she did this, Luna glanced out the window and
realized that the sun had already set.
She and Gwen had been sitting there for more than five hours. “Did they find out anything through the recording
device?” Gwen asked, frowning Luna nodded. “When did you even place it on Steven, anyway?” Gwen sniffed,
picked up a tissue from the table, and wiped her tear
–stained face. “I planted it there when I was hugging him.” Even though Gwen had temporarily lost all her
rationality that moment, she still remembered her task, so she slipped the recording device into Steven‘s back
pocket while embracing him.
Even though she was unsure of Steven‘s habits, she still remembered that Luke never used to check his back

It seemed that she had guessed correctly.
“I‘ve asked Nigel and Neil to send the audio clips over.” Luna stood up. “Do you want to listen to them together?”
Gwen nodded. She wanted to stand up as well, but because she had remained seated for too long, her legs had
fallen asleep, and she could not even move.
“Look at you.” Luna sighed and reached out to help Gwen up, and the two of them shuffled into Luna‘s bedroom.
When they entered the door, however, they both froze in surprise when they caught sight of the restrained woman
on the bed. Luna and Gwen exchanged a glance, then smiled wryly in unison.
They forgot about Denise.
At this moment, Denise‘s hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was gagged, but her eyes were closed...as
though she were asleep.
Gwen strode over and gently placed her finger under Denise‘s nostrils. “She‘s still breathing. She probably just fell
asleep.”
Luna froze for a moment, initially intending to summon the guards to take Denise away. On second thought, she
decided it was better to keep Denise here. Steven would never have given up on Denise so easily, and so he was
probably already plotting to break her out. What if he was already waiting outside the doors, ready to ambush
them? If she allowed the guards to take Denise out of the room, would it not be the perfect chance for Steven to
rescue her?
At the thought of this, Luna put down her phone and glanced at the sleeping woman on the bed. Gwen knew what
Luna was thinking about and did not pursue it any further. Instead, she dragged a chair over to Luna‘s desk, and
the both of them turned on the laptop.
Nigel‘s email was waiting for them.

Even though Neil had mentioned on the phone that neither of them managed to understand the conversation
between Steven and his parents, Luna could not help thinking that Nigel must have pieced it together somehow.
Otherwise, Nigel would not have split the recording into segments labeled with tags that briefly highlighted the
contents of the audio

clip.
Luna glanced at the tags, then at Gwen. “Which one do you feel like listening to first?”
Gwen was silent for a while, then turned to look at Denise. Finally, she pointed at the audio clip labeled [What to do
about the daughter] and said, “Let’s start with this.”
Luna nodded and clicked on the recording.
Mr. Hughes‘ cold voice rang out from the speaker, “Let Denise die, then.”
