Chapter 2908
“I’m not too sure about this.” Vanessa furrowed her brow. “All I know is that her brother owns a loan shark company, and she’s been working for him ever since she left school. I’m not too close with her, but she knows my family owns a business. Therefore, she once secretly asked me if I wanted to do business with her, for the sake of being old friends, and that she could help me get back all the money that other people owed me.”
Vanessa scratched her head rather sheepishly as she continued, “Even though I had loaned plenty of money to other people, I didn’t ask Willow for help because I thought it wasn’t necessary to ask everyone for my money back, considering some of them were struggling.” Finally, she turned to stare at Luna. “However, since your friend was kidnapped by Willow, I can use this as an excuse to meet with her, and perhaps I might be able to find something out.” Luna furrowed her brow at this. “But…will you get into trouble if she finds out that this is the reason you’re meeting with her?”
She was not close with Vanessa at all, and Jude had already explicitly stated that he would never date Vanessa. Therefore, Luna did not want to trouble someone whom she had just met. “What can she do to me?” Vanessa smiled. “Even if she does, I can always assign a few more bodyguards to keep me safe, and she’ll eventually give up.”
With that, she let out an exhale and said, “Let me give her a call.”
“Wait,” Joshua’s voice rang out before Vanessa could even finish. “Don’t contact her first. Luna, I’ll call John right now and ask him to lodge a police report. Once we get the police involved, they’ll be able to use signal-tracking devices to track down Willow and Anne.
“According to Miss Chance, I’m guessing Willow is just one of the lackeys involved in Anne’s kidnapping and not the mastermind at all. Thus, she won’t reveal too much information about this. All we have to do is find out her exact location.”
Luna was silent for a moment, then finally replied, “Are… Are you going to contact John? Do you need me to do it?”
“No need.” Joshua smiled. “Don’t worry, I know what to do. Besides, John isn’t a child anymore, and he’ll be able to take this.”
With that, he hung up the phone.
Luna pointed at the seat Jude had previously sat in and said, “Come on, sit and we’ll wait together.”
Jude glanced first at Luna, frowning, then at Vanessa. He remained standing as he replied, “I need to go out for a quick smoke.”
With that, he strode out of the cafe and lit a cigarette.
Jude had not gone too far, and Luna could still see him clearly from the window.
She stared at Jude’s sharp, angular features and could not help lamenting how handsome Jude was.
Even though Joshua was still the most attractive man in her eyes, there was no denying that Jude was just as charming and could easily win any girl’s heart.
At the thought of this, Luna turned around.
Behind her, Vanessa was also engrossed in watching Jude, and Luna could even make out a glimmer of awe in her eyes.
When she sensed Luna’s stare, Vanessa quickly tore her gaze away and let out an awkward cough. Then, she picked up her cup and took a sip from it.
However, she was so frantic in doing this that she accidentally choked on her coffee and proceeded to cough uncontrollably.
Luna handed her a napkin. “You…seem to really like Jude, don’t you?”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
