Luna froze. She never thought that Joshua would notice her necklace. She was always careful and refrained from talking to the necklace whenever he was around.
Last night, she had switched on the necklace’s microphone so Nigel could hear everything during the cocktail party. She never thought Joshua would notice her action and harbor suspicions toward the necklace she wore.
Joshua knew his guess was right when he noticed Luna’s surprised expression. He narrowed his eyes at her.
He observed Luna’s every move last night; she did not touch her phone throughout the whole night. How, then, did she manage to stay in touch with the hacker?
Joshua was intrigued by this, so he checked the surveillance tapes of the cocktail party. The footage showed that apart from a small instance where Luna touched her necklace, she displayed no other suspicious behavior. This was why he suspected her necklace was no ordinary one.
When he noticed how dazed she was, Joshua reached out to grab her necklace. However, Luna immediately came to and pressed both of her hands against her chest. “Don’t you dare touch me! “
She leaped off the couch and stepped away from him as her hands remained on her chest. “This necklace
belongs to me, Neil, and Nellie. Don’t you dare try to take it from me! “
Joshua stood up and strode over to her. The closer he got, the more menacing his gaze grew. “Since it’s just an ordinary necklace, what’s wrong with me looking at it? I’m not going to take it from you. I just want to have a look.“
Luna backed away from him frantically. She feared that Joshua would discover the necklace’s secret function and, in turn, discover Nigel’s existence.
Suddenly, she felt the coolness of the door that pressed against her back. Joshua extended his arms and placed them on either side of her, and he effectively trapped her to the door. There was nowhere else to escape.
