Luna was so shocked by this that she almost dropped her phone. She asked, her entire body trembling, “So now you…“
“We’ve split up.“ Theo’s voice sounded slightly hoarse through the phone. “Zach and Yuri have left with Nellie, and Neil and I are still here, but we’re pretending as if nothing has happened to stall them. My father will send some people over to meet up with us in a while, and we’ll all leave together.“
He sighed and continued, “You don’t have to worry about us. I was afraid that if both Neil and Nellie left together, it’d attract their attention. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked Neil to stay here with me.
They’re after the children, not me, so I’m sure they won’t try to harm me. I just wanted to give you a heads up.“
“Alice is already coming after us without any regard for consequences, so I was worried that you might be in danger, too.“
Luna gripped her phone tightly and tried to suppress the panic in her heart. “I’m fine. I’ve already bought my tickets, and Gwen has asked Luke’s men to escort me to the airport…“
She closed her eyes and said, “Thank you, Theo.“
In the past, when Luna was still in Banyan City, Alice had threatened her, saying that the bodyguards looking after Neil and Nellie were, in fact, her men. Luna had been worried when she first heard this, but after asking Joshua about this, he told her that he had switched the bodyguards to his own men.
After that, he had even sent Zach and Yuri, Neil’s personal bodyguards, abroad to protect the two children. Moreover, it had already been a few months without anything bad happening, so naturally, Luna started to feel more reassured about her children’s safety.
However, she did not expect that… Alice’s men had not retreated after all. They had been lying in wait all this time, waiting for a perfect opportunity to strike.
Luna closed her eyes. As she listened to Theo’s voice over the phone, she felt a twinge of fear creep into her heart.
Why did Alice wait so long to strike? Out of all the chances she got, why did she pick this moment?
Was this just a coincidence? Or could it be…
Luna did not even dare to finish that thought.
