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.“

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.

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

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.

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.“
