I ‘m not a local from Banyan City, and I don’t know anyone apart from you and the Lynch family…“ Luna
tried to protest.
Before she could finish, however, Natasha shoved the other card into her hand and said, “Take this
card as well… There’s a lot of money in this one, too. You can have both cards, as long as you help me
find evidence that Aura was framed.“
Luna lowered her gaze to look at the two cards Natasha had given her. She could recognize both of
them. One of them was Natasha’s personal account which contained all her life savings; Luna herself
had helped Natasha set up the account. The other one, however, was a card she had given Natasha
just before she got married to Joshua. The card contained all of Luna’s own savings and assets. At that
time, Luna knew it was rough for her parents to raise her till adulthood, yet because she was getting

account and decided to gift the card to her mother.
Little did Luna know that many years later, this card would make its way back to her. She cou1dn’t
believe that, in a twist of fate, she would one day stand before her mother with a new face and identity
and that her mother would offer her this money to help clear Aura’s name.
“Mrs. Gibson, what if even after I investigated, the evidence still points to Aura being guilty?“
Natasha froze. It was obvious she never expected that Luna would ask her this question.
After a moment’s hesitation, she let out a sigh and answered, ”Well, in that case… I have no choice but
to accept the truth.” After finishing her sentence, Natasha closed her eyes.
”I have only two daughters. It’s one thing to be disappointed by my eldest, but if the other one turned
out the same… ” Natasha lamented, but she trailed off before she could finish.
Gazing at Natasha’s sunken and languish face, Luna bit down on her bottom lip. She did not know how
to describe her feelings at that moment. It was a maelstrom of feelings rioting in her simultaneously.
Luna felt painfully disappointed that her own mother did not trust her at all, yet at the same time , she
knew she could not blame Natasha for feeling that way. It must have been unbearably agonizing for
Natasha to have to come to terms with her daughter’s betrayal. Perhaps, in the past, Natasha had
struggled to believe that Luna would do something like that, just like how she struggled to believe
otherwise in Aura.
”Alright, I’ll help you, ” Luna finally said after a long silence. She heaved a sigh and stuffed the two
cards back into Natasha’s hand. ”I don’t want your money. If in the end, I managed to find evidence that
suggested Aura was guilty, all I ask of you is that you try to step into your eldest daughter’s shoes. It
probably hasn’t been easy for her all these years. ”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith that, Luna got up and left the room.
Natasha chewed on her lip nervously. She frowned as she watched Luna’s retreating figure get further
and further away. She could not put her finger on it, but that woman, who shared the same name as
her eldest daughter, felt vaguely familiar to her.
After coming out of the hospital, Luna immediately sent Nigel the IP addresses that Natasha had given
her.
“What’s going on?“ Nigel asked as he turned on his computer and began working on cracking the fake
IP addresses.
“I want you to help me find the location of the real address. Aura might be imprisoned there. Your
grandmother asked me to help track Aura down and prove her innocence, “ Luna replied.
