"I'm with Mr. Lynch. He says that Luna left her bag behind, and so I'm here to retrieve it."
The guests furrowed their eyes, glancing at the place Luna had been sitting before she left.
Lo and behold, there was indeed a handbag sitting on the chair.
Mr. Hanson was a little displeased by this. "Quickly retrieve it and get out of here! Close the door behind you when you leave!"
The woman nodded, scampered over to retrieve Luna's bag, then left, closing the door behind her.
After coming out of the booth, Charlotte removed the pinhole cameras from Luna's bag with a sneer, then took out the recording device she had placed in a hidden pocket in the bag.
She had placed these items inside Luna's bag without her noticing at all.
After exiting Lucky Den, Charlotte tossed the pinhole cameras and recording device to her assistant, Roanne.
Roanne furrowed her brows as she started downloading the videos and audio files from these devices. "What should we do, now that Ms. Luna was taken away by Joshua Lynch? Should we go save her?"
Charlotte sneered. "There's no need.
"She had been poisoned by the men at the party, so Joshua Lynch has shown up just in time to help her counter the poison's effects."
Roanne was confused by this. "But...what if, after sleeping with Joshua, Luna does not want to fight with Lynch Group anymore?"
"You've underestimated Luna." Charlotte curled her lips into a smirk. "Hatred has already started to plant its seed inside her, and because of this, she and Joshua won't be able to reconcile so easily."
With that, she narrowed her eyes and continued, "Also, don't forget that we've utterly lost all contact with Luna now, and if we were to save her from Joshua, wouldn't that reveal that we had deliberately cut off communication with her when she was inside Lucky Den?"
Roanne froze for a moment, then nodded in reply, not daring to say another word.
Charlotte was right. When Luna had called for their help, Charlotte had ignored her cries of help because she had yet to record anything that could be used to threaten Mr. Hanson.
If they were to rescue her at this moment after ignoring her cries for help earlier...Luna would not trust them anymore.
