Chapter 447: Under a spell (2)
The middle-aged woman looked at her son in disbelief. She was already swayed when she heard Luna’s words, and all it took was that simple word for all the trust she had in her son to come crumbling down. She glared at him, her eyes full of disappointment. "Why did you do it? Why would you do such a thing?"
The young man knew that there might be cameras in the room and that he might be in trouble if he said the wrong thing. Even so, his lips once again moved against his will. "My girlfriend’s life would be in danger if I didn’t. She would have been killed."
Not only was Luo Chen’s mother in shock, Luna was surprised too. She knew that there was a young woman who was kidnapped to force him into submission but she had thought that it was his sister. Who would have thought that the lass was his girlfriend?
Luo Chen’s mother furrowed her brows. "Because of a girl, you are willing to destroy other people’s lives and destroy yours while at it?" She didn’t know what to tell her son that would accurately display all the anger and disappointment she felt.
"I love her, mother. How could I let any harm befall her?"
Luna knew that the young man had done the wrong thing but she did not entirely blame him. She didn’t have a limit for what she could do if it involved the lives of those she loved either. As one who had once been forced to plead guilty for murder, she knew how it felt like to feel helpless.
She thought about it for a moment before saying, "Your girlfriend will be safe. I will make sure of it."
"She will, you will?" The young man felt useless that he was not able to save his own girlfriend and needed the help of another girl to do that.
"Yes. As long as you tell me who had you do it."
The young man showed a hint of hesitation as though she didn’t trust Luna, making the latter glance at him with mockery in her eyes. "He had you frame me and even after you did as you were told, he did not keep his promise of letting her go. Do you still hope that he will release her?"
She had hit the nail on the head, and it made Luo Chen look at her in disbelief. She knew that the mastermind was a man. Could it be that she already had suspicion and merely wanted to confirm it?
