After hanging up the phone, Roanne exhaled and lifted her head to glance at Theo. "I think you're a good person. You..."
She turned around and glanced at the black Masevati parked in the distance as though she wanted to say something, but i n the end, nothing came out.
Finally, Roanne curled her lips into a smile and glanced at Theo once more. "I'll get in touch with you if I can.
"My sister is looking for me, so I'd better go now."
With that, she strode back toward Landry Mansion, all while Theo remained motionless and watched her leave.
When Roanne finally disappeared from view, he furrowed his brows and returned t o the car.
"No wonder you kept reminding me to bring my name card before we left."
Theo never had the habit of bringing his name cards with him wherever he went. H e thought that even though some of his artwork had become famous, he was still a n ordinary artist, and no one would want to get to know him.
Because of this, Theo rarely brought his name cards out with him, but that day, before they departed, Joshua had reminded him to bring some along.
At that time, Theo did not understand what Joshua had been trying to do, but at this moment, he did.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Joshua curled his lips into a smirk as he stared at the back door to Landry Mansion, where Roanne had disappeared into. "I asked Lucas to help me investigate this girl before.
"She has been interested in arts ever since she was young, but because of her poor upbringing, her parents couldn’t afford to raise her at all, so they sent her to the orphanage."
The look in Joshua's eyes seemed to penetrate the windshield before him, landing on a place far, far away. "Therefore, I guessed that she'd probably admire an artist like Theo."
In the backseat, Luna furrowed her brows i n sudden realization. "So you asked Theo to bring us here . to use him as bait?"
Joshua nodded. "Theo's personality is indeed attractive to many women, but especially so to someone like Roanne.
