Chapter 1746
Luna bit her lip and, for a split second, did not know how to answer.
In the past, Joshua was her lover, the father of her children.
She did not need a reason to ask him for help, nor did she have to answer to “Why should I.”
Alas, their relationship was no longer the same as before.
Joshua was the mortal enemy of the Landry family, and she was the heiress of the Landry family.
He was the CEO of Lynch Group, and she was the CEO of Landry Group.
The two of them had become members of opposing teams; they were rivals.
It was already a miracle that the two of them did not fight as soon as they laid eyes on each other, but at
this moment, Luna was asking him to help her.
Why should he?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy should he help his mortal enemy?
He was a businessman, and he would not do something unless it brought him benefits.
However, to save Gwen, they had to race against time.
Luna bit her lip and lifted her head to stare at Joshua. “Because I slept with you last night. Is that a good
enough reason?”
The entire hallway fell silent upon hearing this.
Theo and Jim, who were running toward the two, stopped in their tracks when they heard this.
Joshua narrowed his eyes and took another puff of his cigarette, sneering. Then, he blew the smoke in
Luna’s face once more and said, “Are you using your body as leverage on me, Luna?”
“Yes.” Luna lifted her head to stare intently at him.
Her heart was bleeding, but her face was as calm as a body of still water. “If you were to get a hooker,
Mr. Lynch, you’d have to spend tens of thousands of dollars.
“Since I’m better than most of the women out there, it wouldn’t be greedy of me to ask for hundreds of
thousands.
“However, I don’t want your money, Mr. Lynch; I just need you to make a phone call to save someone’s
life. No matter how you look at it, this is a business transaction that benefits you more than me.”
She was taking a tremendous risk for Gwen.
After all, since Joshua had slept with her the night before, he could not possibly refuse to admit it.
“Luna.” Joshua sneered and tossed his cigarette butt on the ground, putting it out with his foot. He lifted
her chin, staring at her with a gaze as cold as his tone. “You could’ve used other things to negotiate with
me, but what on earth are you doing now?
“Are you labeling yourself as a mere item? Does this mean that for every time I slept with you i n the
past, I have to tally them and pay up as well?”
He was gripping her chin with so much strength that it was as though he would crack her jaw.

you. I just want to use what happened last night to get you to save Gwen!
“Joshua Lynch, if you’re a man of your world, then you’ll…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Joshua’s phone rang.
She caught sight of the caller ID on the screen.
It was Lucas.
Joshua glanced at her coldly, then picked up the phone and put it on speaker.
Lucas’ anxious voice rang out from the other end of the line, “Sir, we‘ve already found Ms. Larson. She’s
indeed bleeding profusely, but we’re in the ambulance now.
“However, the doctor says that Ms. Larson’s blood type is very rare, and the blood bank in Merchant City
doesn’t have much blood left…
“Now that you’re in Lincoln City, can you ask Dr. Liddell to contact the blood bank there and ask if they
have any more?” Luna’s eyes widened in shock when she heard this.
