Chapter 1726
When Luna came out of the hospital, Charlotte was still waiting in the car.
Luna let out an exhale as she opened the door and got into the passenger seat. “Where are we going now?”
“Back to your place so you can pack your bags,” Charlotte replied impassively as she typed on her laptop. “Since you’re now the new CEO of Landry Group, you shouldn’t be staying in a house on the outskirts of the city anymore.”
Luna fell silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Charlotte was right. From this day onward, she would have plenty of things to take care of for Landry Group, and it would be inconvenient to continue staying outside the city.
However, to Luna’s surprise, when she reached her house, a few excavators were parked outside the gate, along with groups of construction workers.
Luna stared at these gigantic machines and the workers, frowning. “What is…”
“Now that you have acquired a new and nobler status, you left too many traces of you living here in the past,” Charlotte explained curtly. “Therefore, we have to destroy this place to prevent any trouble from occurring after you move out of here.”
Luna’s entire body stiffened.
She had been living here for almost a year, and this place bore plenty of memories for her.
Not only that but her and Joshua’s child had been born here, too.
Why did they have to destroy this house just because she was going to move out?
Luna bit her lip. “We don’t have to go to such lengths, do we? Can’t we just empty this place and clean it up after I leave?”
“Absolutely not.” Charlotte’s voice was stern and hard as she said, “All the decorations, furnishing, and even the lawn was catered to your preferences and taste, so it’d be easy for someone to catch onto your habits and behavioral patterns if they were to study this house.”
Luna furrowed her brows, still unable to understand Charlotte’s decision. She fell silent for a moment, then tried to explain, “But this house is perfectly intact… And on top of that, it carries a lot of good memories I’d like to hold onto…” 1
Charlotte lifted her head to stare at Luna when she heard this. She fixated her penetrating gaze
on Luna’s face. “‘What kind of memories? Memories of vou and Joshua? Or the fear and anxiety
you went through while bearing his child?”
Luna froze and, for a split second, did not know what to say.
Charlotte lowered her head to continue typing on her laptop. “Go pack your bags. I’ll help you pick out the servants and bodyguards that’ll follow you to Landry Mansion, and as for the ones that failed the selection process, I’ll dismiss them with their pay. +
“Also, if your friends don’t mind, they can follow you to live at Landry Mansion too.”
Luna let out a sigh and finally got out of the car to pack her things.
However, to her surprise, neither Theo nor Gwen was there.
The servants claimed that Gwen had been taken away by Luke, but they had no idea where Theo had gone.
After instructing the servants to help her pack her things, Luna called the two of them as she moved her bags into the car, but no matter how many times she called, she could not get through to them at all.
Finally, she had no choice but to get in the car after Charlotte, her mind full of doubts and confusion.
Not long after their car exited onto the main road, a loud rumbling came from behind them.
Luna could clearly see from the rearview mirror that the house she had lived in for almost a year had been demolished.
She closed her eyes as a twinge of pain shot through her heart.
She felt as though the same house she had built inside her heart to house her feelings for Joshua had been demolished as well.
Lynch Mansion.
Theo watched the news on the television quietly.
The news said that after being acquitted, Luna had made up her mind to focus on running Landry Group and thus had demolished the house she had been living in and instead moved into Landry Mansion. This was to prove her determination never to leave the Landry family ever again.
“I can’t believe Luna would destroy that house.” Theo let out a sigh and turned to glance at Joshua, who was doing some work on the sofa. “I guess she’s made up her mind to fight with you till the end.”
Joshua’s hands, which were typing on his keyboard, stiffened when he heard this. A split second later, he let out a chuckle. “But I don’t feel like fighting with her anymore.”
