She did not dare to think any further, all she could do was bite her lip and ask Neil softly, “Did your brother say anything else?“
“No.“
Neil frowned. “Mommy, is anything wrong?“
“No, nothing.“ Luna sucked in a deep breath then chatted mindlessly with him for a while and hurriedly ended the call.
Placing her phone down, Luna took a long while to calm herself down. Then, she finally mustered her courage and pressed the button to switch on the necklace she used to communicate with Nigel.
“Mommy. “ The moment the signal was connected, Nigel’s solemn voice drifted in from the other side. “ I already sent an email to the police in Sea City, detailing the various illegal activities the Walter family was involved in all these years. Don’t worry, the people who hurt Aunt Gwen will be punished accordingly.“
Luna’s hand that was holding the necklace trembled slightly.
“Nigel…“
“I know everything.“ The little guy sucked in a deep breath. “The necklace I gave you is installed with a program that enables it to be activated from afar.
When I couldn’t detect your signal last night, I attacked and hacked into Sea City’s surveillance
system. After I ensured you were fine and you were somewhere your signal could be detected, I activated the program. The sound monitoring was always switched on, since you were saved by Joshua last night all the way till your phone call with Neil just now. I know everything.“
Luna felt as if she was going to faint, her vision turning black for an instant.
She sucked in a deep breath. “Don’t tell Neil and Nellie.“
“I know, I know what to do.“
In a hospital ward on the other side of the ocean, Nigel sighed deeply, his voice low and solemn, “ Mommy, you don’t have to blame yourself so much. No one can tell what evil thoughts and schemes are hidden up another person’s sleeve. The Walter family is the main reason why this happened to Aunt Gwen, you’re not wrong for reuniting with her.“
Then, the little guy sucked in a deep breath. “ Besides, I agree with Joshua. You should return to Banyan City. In the next few days, all of the Walter family’s evil deeds will be exposed one by one. Old Mr. Walter will get what he deserves.“ Luna was silent for a moment.
Using the Walter family’s criminal record against them was indeed the best strategy.
