Chapter 244 "We can't just let them disappear from the Earth, can we?"
Theodore was still sitting on the ground, but his tone and demeanor gave off an air of superiority.
Luna increasingly felt that this old man's expressions and mannerisms were a carbon copy of Charles's.
But she had only met Charles's parents, and Charles seemed to have inherited the best qualities from both of them.
Alice was outside, jumping up and down and slapping her thighs, but she had become a laughingstock to others.
"Since you failed at your scam, just leave already. You're not welcome here! If I see you again, I'll make sure you end up in jail!"
After Theodore finished speaking, he stood up, and Luna quickly helped him.
She secretly gave him a thumbs-up.
Theodore gave her a knowing look.
Alice still wanted to cause trouble, but Ella and Lisa dragged her away from both sides.
Because Ava had taken out a body camera to record them, Ella was worried it would affect Travis and Ethan. After all, they had given her an ultimatum: if she disrupted their work again, they would cut ties with her.
As for Lisa, after her early divorce, she had dated several older men, but they all broke up with her once they realized she was only after their money. Now, she was with someone who had a bit of money, and she was afraid that if she got exposed, he would leave her.
Lisa and Ella, each with their own selfish motives, dragged Alice away.
Theodore straightened his clothes, his eyes sharp and his expression serious.
He no longer had the demeanor of someone who would sit or lie down on the ground at will.
"I thought they were more capable than this! Just this little bit of ability! Alright, my task is done, and I should be going."
Theodore muttered to himself, turning to leave.
Luna called out to him, "Theodore, did you come because of the trouble from before?"
Luna was referring to the incident with the troublesome family.
Theodore waved his hand, "That incident doesn't affect me. I came today just to join the fun. Now that the fun is over, I should be going. By the way, we'll have a chance to meet again in the future."
"Really?"
Theodore's confident tone surprised Luna.
She always felt that Theodore was mysterious, like an old man with many stories.
After leaving the police station, Theodore walked a block before getting into a waiting black Bentley.
The driver started the car to head back.
Theodore then called Charles and told him about what had happened with Luna.
"Charles, even if I hadn't come today, Luna wouldn't have suffered. But if her bizarre relatives keep causing trouble, Luna's work will definitely be affected. It's only a matter of time before she gets transferred. Even if it's not her fault, the Brown family's influence is there."
Theodore, with his vast experience, could easily see through the dark schemes of Luna's relatives.
Even if they couldn't get money or a house, they would still try to make Luna's life difficult.
If Luna lost her job, they would only clap their hands in glee.
Some relatives are like that; they hope you stay poor and live worse than they do, and that makes them happy.
And if you're poor, you still have to help them because they think they're doing you a favor by accepting your help. If you don't help, you're a villain.
They'll use you and take from you, but you can't live better than them.
They want to always step on you, to exploit and belittle you as a matter of course.
"Grandpa, thank you for your trouble this time. Luna is quite independent, and if I didn't know about it, she wouldn't have asked for my help. But I'll take care of it from now on."
Charles's voice was cold.
He felt terrible knowing what Luna had gone through today.
Because he wasn't the one by her side at that moment.
"Charles, you can't be by Luna's side all the time. You can find a way to make the Brown family lose their jobs and face social ruin! But you can't break the law; they're scoundrels! You can't just make them disappear from the face of the earth!"
