Luna furrowed her brows in surprise." Those people...kidnapped Sean and Kate while they were under your watch?"
Luke's expression darkened upon hearing this.
He shifted into a comfortable position in his chair, placed his arm elegantly on the back of the chair, then shot Luna a cold glance. "Why are you so shocked?"
He glanced at the glass window, which offered a full view of Kate in the next room, being examined by the doctors, and said calmly, "I've already told Jim and Joshua about Kate's true identity, so surely you must know, too?"
Luna paused for a moment, then nodded.
She had indeed heard Joshua and the rest mention Kate's background before.
Kate had hailed from a rich and noble family from Europa, and even though she had left her home country, her family had secretly been keeping tabs on her.
If they found out that she had gone missing or had been kidnapped, they would fly to Merchant City and would not cease to turn the entire place upside down in search of her.
This was why Jim and Joshua had been so anxious about finding her after Luke revealed her true identity to them.
"Since you know her identity, you should know that I'd never let my guard down when it comes to protecting her."
A year ago, Luke had been forced to buy illegal firearms from Kate's family to win his territorial fight against the gangsters of Merchant City. Because of this, he owed them a favor and was forced to take Kate in when she needed his help.
Despite her small stature, she was a woman with strong opinions.
