Joshua had bought out more than ten small companies in Merchant City. Every one of these companies played a part in the Landry family’s pharmaceutical and fragrance businesses.Luna wondered about this as she recorded the names of these companies and their contact numbers from the news on the TV.Was Joshua not there to find her? Why did he buy out so many companies related to the Landry family overnight?It seemed as though…he was doing this to get revenge on the Landry family. However, Luna tried to reassure herself that maybe Joshua just wanted to give the Landry family a taste of their own medicine while coming to Merchant City to find her at the same time.After all, the Lynch and the Landry families were mortal enemies. If they found out that Joshua had arrived in Merchant City, they would stir up trouble for him.As soon as she thought of this, Luna felt an even more compelling desire to see Joshua.After writing down the numbers of the companies Joshua had bought out, L
Granny Quinn glanced at Luna and Malcolm. Then, she looked down at the pond and continued to feed the fishes in it. “It’s getting late, and dinner is about to be ready. Where are you guys going?”Malcolm smiled. “Luna just came back to Merchant City, so she hasn’t gotten used to it yet. I’m going to bring her out for a walk.”“Out for a walk?”Granny Quinn sneered, then turned around and stared at Malcolm sternly. “Are you afraid that the citizens of Merchant City don’t know that the Young Master of Quinn family has become disabled? This woman just arrived, and you already want to bring her out and humiliate the family! Go back inside now!”With that, Granny Quinn ordered the guards who were standing to one side, “Bring these two back inside the house. In the future, you are not allowed to leave Quinn Mansion without my permission!”“Granny,” Malcolm spoke up immediately, “if you want Luna to stay and marry me, you can’t treat her like a prisoner and lock her in this yard. I’m no
When Luna arrived at Cold Jazz Restaurant, Joshua and his business partner had already entered the private booth to start their business discussion.Luna peeked into the room from the entrance.She and Joshua had only been separated for a day, yet she missed him as though they had been apart for a century. At this moment, Joshua was sitting at the head of the table elegantly with his back facing Luna while he conducted the business meeting.Every word that came out of Joshua's mouth sounded frightening to others. Even though there was a door between them, Luna could still sense his strong and commandeering aura that made the entire atmosphere feel suffocating. Luna had always found this personality trait of Joshua attractive."Luna?" All of a sudden, a soft voice rang out from behind her.Luna frowned and turned around.A woman dressed in a waiter’s uniform was standing behind her. Luna recognized her as a parent whose child also had leukemia, like Nigel—her name was Sylvia Wat
Actually…This was something Luna had been wondering about as well. Since Luke had already passed on her message the day before, this meant that Joshua should have known that she was in Merchant City.However, from the moment Joshua arrived at Merchant City…he had been busy targeting businesses related to the Landry family.He did not target nor harm the Quinn family at all. Not only that, but he did not initiate any contact with the Quinn family to meet Luna.Luna tried not to overthink, but, given the reality, it was hard not to dwell on her suspicions that…Could it be that seeking revenge was a bigger priority than finding her to Joshua?Was it so important for him to seek revenge on the Landry family that he could not even focus on tracking her down simultaneously and instead refused to find her before he succeeded in getting his revenge?“What do you think, Mr. Lennon?” Joshua curled his lips into a smile and continued in a calm voice, “Is there any difference between me
Sylvia pushed Luna out of the private booth.As soon as she came out of the restaurant, Luna, who was still dressed in her waitress outfit, with her mask and cap on, bumped into Joshua at the front door of the restaurant.A few bodyguards were protecting him discreetly. He seemed tired as he leaned against the car, talking on the phone at the same time.He seemed to be talking to Nellie."Be nice at home with your brothers. I don't need your help. Yes, Mommy will be fine. They won't hurt her. See her? I haven't gotten the chance yet, but once I'm done with my work, then I’ll find her. Don't worry; I’ll try my best to defeat the Landry family and bring Mommy home…"The night wind carried Joshua's deep voice toward Luna, and she felt…Surprise, shock, reluctance, disappointment.Luna’s entire being was engulfed in different emotions.Luna remained motionless as she stared at Joshua, and she could feel her heart ache.She thought Joshua had come to Merchant City urgently to find
By the time Luna changed her clothes and came out from Cold Jazz Restaurant, all she saw was the taillights of Joshua’s black Masevati.The car disappeared and turned into a black dot just seconds later.Luna stared in the direction of the car before a twinge of disappointment seeped through her heart. She tried her best to see him…but all she saw was the cold-blooded side of him.She pitied Malcolm, who had flung himself from the wheelchair and fallen on the floor so that Luna could have an excuse to leave Quinn Mansion to see Joshua.Luna picked up the broken pieces of her broken heart, took a deep breath, and went back to the hospital.At the hospital, Malcolm was reading in a wheelchair underneath a lamp. The book that he was reading had been a gift from Luna, and it was a book on the basics of jewelry designing.When she walked into the room and saw him engrossed in the book, Luna could not help but laugh. “I recommended five books to you, but you’ve only reached the third
Luna sat on the bed. The beads of sweat on her forehead from the nightmare lingered when Malcolm went to talk to her.Luna bit down on her lip as her heart grew conflicted with emotions. She was no longer the kind of girl that would be mad because of a relationship. She understood that everyone was an adult and that prioritizing relationships, family, and career was different for everyone.Still…Luna made her biggest priority Joshua, but he did not do the same.How important was Joshua to Luna?He was so important to her that, no matter what he did wrong, as long as he said it was a misunderstanding and explained it, Luna would always forgive him.But it turned out…Luna had never been Joshua’s most important priority.She felt as though…she had taken out her heart and handed it to Joshua, but he asked her to queue up from the back.Luna stared at the wall in front of her blankly. At that moment, she did not know whether she should give Joshua a chance. Luna wondered if she shoul
“I want to calm down for a while.”With that, Luna turned around and entered her room, slamming the door shut behind her.Luna lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling as tears streamed down her face, wetting her pillows in the process.Luna had told Joshua about her promise to marry Malcolm before. In fact, she had told him about it many times.Just the day before she was kidnapped, she and Joshua were cuddling in bed when she hugged his back and whispered into his ear, “What do you think I should do about my marriage promise with the Quinn family? Do you want to go with me to the Quinn family to apologize to them? I’m worried they might kidnap me and force me into marriage. If that happens, what should we do?”At that moment, Joshua had turned around and pinned her down on the bed. “Do you think the Quinn family will dare take you away and force you to marry Malcolm while I’m here?“On the other hand, I’ll never forget about the kindness that the Quinn family showed to you
