"Um…"
Before Tara could respond, however, Robyn piped in. "Didn't I tell you my brother suffered a gunshot wound? Well, that's because he was protecting an old man last night.
"They both got kidnapped, and the man was about to be killed by the kidnapper. If my brother hadn't leaped out and saved the man just in time, he would've been dead by now.
"Miss Moore here is a relative of the man and came to thank us."
With that, she brandished the card in front of Luna and added, "She wanted to reward us in return for my brother's kindness. We desperately need the money, but my brother insisted we not accept it. He didn't want to feel like his kindness was taken as an act of ulterior motives."
Luna froze when she heard this. She furrowed her brow, glancing at Tara. "That 'relative' of yours is Gwen's father, isn't he?"
Luna was well aware of what happened the night before. Since Joshua's men had rescued Andy the night before and Robyn's brother had gotten shot on the same day, it did not take long for her to connect the dots.
She guessed that Tara came to reward Robyn's brother on Gwen and Andy's behalf.
At the thought of this, she frowned. "Did something happen to Gwen?"
Since Robyn's brother had saved Andy's life, it made no sense that Gwen would send someone else to do her bidding instead of coming to thank him herself.
The only explanation was that she was preoccupied with something else.
