Chapter 2178
Shockingly, the woman sitting in the dungeon was not Charlotte. Although her figure and hairstyle were similar to
Charlotte’s…she was not her,
The scruffy-looking woman turned and gazed at the people standing at a distance before her eyes finally landed on
Joshua, her tears started to fall soon after. Her mouth was opened wide, yet not a sound came out of her. It was as
if…she could not speak.
The way the woman opened her mouth widely had Luna wondering why the woman looked very familiar. After
careful observation, Luna’s hand flung to her mouth in her shock.
This woman… She was… Luna bit her lip and, with a shaky voice, called out, “Are you Laura Suess? Dr. Suess?” The
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwoman nodded her head vigorously while pointing at her mouth to show Luna that she could no longer speak.
Luna was even more shocked upon receiving that answer from the woman. She subconsciously looked at Bonnie,
who was standing beside her. Similarly, Bonnie’s expression was the same as Luna’s.
Was she Laura Suess after all? A few hours ago, she seemed energized when she went to the Tea Cottage to kidnap
June. They clearly remembered seeing her walking with a strong pace from either the Tea Cottage’s surveillance, or
the hotel’s surveillance where she brought June to shave her head.
What happened?
How did she turn from a proud doctor who controlled the fate of others into a prisoner who looked so unkempt and
unable to speak within a few hours?
“This Quentin guy is even more ruthless and barbaric than I imagined,” muttered Joshua with a frown after seeing
the situation Laura was in. “Lately, Laura has used her identity as my personal family physician to gather more
information for Quentin. Now that he had no more use for her, he cut off her tongue so she can never speak in the
future before locking her up in the dungeon, no longer giving her the chance to see daylight again.”
Tears streamed down Laura’s face. She tried to speak by moving her mouth as she looked at Luna and Joshua. Luna
could tell from Charlotte’s lips how she profusely apologized. 1 A person who had lived like any other normal
person, rendered to such a rugged, despairing condition… Bonnie AUXcN=NI Luna felt bad for her.
Luna, unable to stop herself, got closer to grab Laura’s hand, hoping that she could say anything she wanted to say
to them. Her body acted before her brain could progress. By the time she realized it, she was already grabbing
Laura’s hand with the dungeon bars between them.
The moment she grabbed Laura’s hand, she discovered that tiny scratch wounds littered all over her hands. They
looked like they had been inflicted with a fine, sharp steel wire. With every movement Laura made, her skin would
flick open, and this disconcerted Luna

What kind of torture was this? Why would Quentin need to treat Laura this way when she had worked so diligently
for him?
As Luna was spacing out, the dungeon door was opened from the outside, and Laura quickly retracted her hand.
However, before she withdrew her hand, she stuffed a paper ball into Luna’s sleeves.
“Ms. Gibson, there’s no need for you to feel pity for her, and don’t touch her,” said Quentin, standing at the back.
“This is a dangerous woman. We won’t be accountable if she hurts you.” The startled Luna quickly hid the paper
ball in her palms and smiled while standing up. “I was just curious about the injuries on her hands.” “It’s the
punishment she deserved, that’s all.”
