Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 404
As they got into her room, Theo washed the fruits and put them in front of Luna.
“What do you plan to do? Just now, during the phone call, Ben was insistent. He said that they were just trying to survive. They’re not going to cancel the press conference tomorrow, and Gwen is going according to plan and telling your story.“
Luna turned to look at Theo and smiled. “Are you trying to say that I need to have a follow-up explanation, too?“
Theo paused for a while before he nodded. “But, I don’t want to.“
Luna smiled and hugged her knees. She looked into the distance. “Theo, do me a favor.“
The next day.
Gwen’s press conference went on as planned in the small auditorium near Ocean Ray High School.
The small auditorium was filled to the brim with people.
Reporters lamented the small venue while they constantly took photos of Gwen on stage.
Gwen, sitting on stage, leaned back against the chair and looked ahead, not knowing what she was looking at.
Luna blended into the crowd and reporters. In her hand was the press pass which Theo acquired for her the day before.
Luna found a corner and sat down.
She was wearing an earpiece in her left ear. Theo’s voice came from the earpiece, “We’ve reached the Walters. Don’t worry; we have the help of the local gangs. Everything should be fine.“
“Stay safe, “ muttered Luna in a half-whisper.
“Relax! “
Luna took a deep breath at Theo’s reply. She then looked up on stage when a woman’s voice rang next to her ear.
“Who would’ve thought that you came here on your
Alice, who was also in disguise like Luna, sat down next to her.
“After the press conference is over, and if someone recognizes you…Joshua won’t be able to help you this time.“
Luna flatly glanced at Alice. She only saw a bodyguard from Lynch Group behind Alice, but she did not see Joshua. Not even Lucas.
Luna’s heart slightly sank.
The scene of Joshua speaking with conviction the day before, that he would make sure Gwen would not talk, was on her mind.
Alas, he did not even show up. As expected, Joshua was the most unreliable man on earth.
Luna sat for a while and lowered her eyes, looking at her phone.
The press conference was set for 9 am. It was already 8:40 am.
If their plan worked, they would be able to rescue Andy Larson out before Gwen said anything.
Once Andy was saved, Gwen would not need to hold the press conference anymore.
Time passed, minute by minute.
Just when it was two minutes to nine, Theo’s voice finally came from the earpiece.
“Luna…“
Theo was so disappointed that his tone was devoid of emotions. “The prison is empty. Andy isn’t here.“
Luna instantly saw black upon his words.
At that moment, a ding rang out in the venue. Gwen took a deep breath. She looked up and picked up the microphone. “Hello, everyone, my name is Gwen Larson. Today, I’m going to talk about a woman named Luna…“
Luna, down below the stage, shut her eyes helplessly.
Did she think too highly of herself, or did she underestimate the Walter family?
