Everyone in the entire room fell into silence, including Luna.No one ever thought that Joshua would kneel right in front of her.No one expected that this man, who had always been prideful and arrogant, would kneel in front of a woman who was about to get engaged to someone else in front of so many people.Luna’s entire body was frozen in shock, and she could not even remember what she wanted to say next.She extended her hand to help him up almost out of impulse.Joshua—her Joshua—had always been proud and pompous and would never kneel for anyone.However, as she was about to help him up, Malcolm grabbed hold of her hand mid-air. He clutched her hand and stared at Joshua with a cold expression. “What are you trying to do, Mr. Lynch? Have you realized that despite all your tactics, Luna still likes me better, so you’re trying to play the victim?”Luna’s heart lurched when she heard this.Was Joshua…trying to play the victim card?She lowered her head to glance at Joshua’s pal
“I’ll never give up on you.“Just before Granny passed, she told me never to give up on you no matter what happened. I’ll keep my word to her.”With that, Joshua slowly walked out of the room.Luna had her back facing Joshua, but despite that, she could still hear his heavy, labored breathing and slow footsteps.She could not stop the tears from streaming down her face.That idiot.Why did he come here and humiliate himself, knowing how weak his body was?Why did he come alone? Where was Lucas? How could Lucas have let Joshua come here all by himself?Besides…Joshua was a smart man, so he must have known that he would be humiliated as soon as he came here.If that was the case, why did he choose to come?After what felt like an eternity, Joshua’s retreating figure finally disappeared from everyone’s view.As soon as the door was closed behind him, Malcolm signaled the emcee to continue with the events. The emcee, who was rendered speechless by this series of events, quickl
Luna was kidnapped?Malcolm was so furious that he almost stood up from his wheelchair. “How can she be kidnapped with so many people watching over her?”The waitress was so startled by the murderous expression on Malcolm's face that she slumped onto the ground. “Just now, they asked me to go into the washroom to take a look… When I went in, I saw the guards unconscious at the door… And…Ms. Luna's dress was placed on the sink of the washroom…”As she said this, the waitress brought out Luna's blue dress and said, “Ms. Luna…has gone missing.”Malcolm almost went insane when he heard this. How could this happen?How could Luna get kidnapped at a time like this?!He bit his lip and ordered with an expression as cold as ice, “Chase after Joshua Lynch! He must’ve been the one behind this. They can’t have gone far!”As soon as he finished his sentence, one of the security guards burst in from outside. “Mr. Quinn, just now Joshua slammed into our barrier and even injured one of our men
Malcolm’s men quickly obtained the relevant security footage, but…There had been too many guests at the party tonight, and after Malcolm had sent his men to chase after Joshua, the party had come to an end, so the entrance of the hotel was so packed with people that they could not tell where Luna had escaped. Malcolm slammed his fist on the table in fury.After a long time, he lifted his head to glance at his assistant. “What happened with the Landry family?”His engagement party had failed, but Heather must have succeeded with her plan, right?After all, Joshua was out trying to evade his men, so he must not have been able to monitor the Landry family’s stocks.The assistant nodded and replied, “The Landry family’s stock prices have returned to their normal level and are now operating as usual.”Malcolm finally let out a sigh of relief when he heard this. As he was about to relax, however, he received a call from Heather. “Malcolm, I failed.”Malcolm frowned. “Didn’t the Lan
The black Masevati crashed into the garbage dump with a loud slam.The cars that had been chasing after it zipped closely behind in the rain, the men inside watching as the Masevati tumbled a few times into a gigantic pile of rubbish. As soon as the men drove into the entrance of the garbage dump, a few black cars appeared, blocking their way.The man who came out of the car at the front was none other than Todd, one of the most notorious gangsters in Merchant City.He pushed the car door open and sneered at the men who were about to chase after Joshua’s car. “I’m taking the man and his car. Tell Malcolm Quinn that if he wants his hands on that man, he’ll have to talk to me.”Malcolm's men exchanged nervous glances. They knew they could not afford to get on Todd’s bad side, so they did not dare object.Instead, they turned around and left.After watching the cars disappear from view, Todd let out a sigh of relief and ordered his men to pull Joshua out of his car as he picked up
Charles scoffed, “Well, she had the help of Hans, who had always been the stocks expert at Landry Group. Of course she did it with Hans!”As he said this, he shot Jim a glance of disapproval and added, “You used to say that Landry Group won’t be able to survive without you. I guess by the looks of it, Heather isn’t any worse than you at all!”Jim curled his lips into a small smile and replied, “Well, let’s invite Hans and the rest of the team out for a reward as well.”As soon as he finished his sentence, Heather came out of her room, escorted by one of the servants.As soon as she stepped onto the stairs, she had already caught sight of Jim, who was sitting on the sofa.Just one look at this man was enough to send shivers down her spine.She should have known! How could Jim possibly waste the opportunity to call her out as the fake daughter of the Landry family?Since Jim had ruined her plans, he would have the chance to badmouth her in front of their father!“Come on down, He
The rain went on for the entire night.Luna, too, was tied up in her room for the entire night, watching the rain fall outside her window.When daylight came, Bonnie entered the room with Luna's breakfast. She let out a sigh and placed each plate in front of Luna with a helpless expression. “Luna, promise me that you won’t return to Malcolm's side.“As long as you promise me that, I’ll release you, but if you don’t, then I’ll have to feed you your breakfast.”Luna turned around and stared at Bonnie with an equally helpless expression. “I’ve already told you many times; Malcolm isn’t a bad person at all.“If he were, he wouldn’t have saved me six years ago, taken care of me, and helped me give birth to my three children.”Bonnie pursed her lips. “I didn’t say he’s a bad person; I just think you shouldn’t marry him. This is coming from both me and your children.”She sat down next to Luna and watched the sun rise outside the window with her. Then, she pursed her lips and added, “L
...Bonnie waited outside Luna's door for almost an hour. She could hear Luna's cries and laughs coming occasionally through the door.Finally, the door was pushed open. Luna wiped her tears away and handed the tablet to Bonnie. “I’ve decided to postpone my wedding with Malcolm.”Bonnie froze. “Postpone? Not cancel?”“Yes.” Luna sniffed and replied, “After making sure that Joshua’s situation has stabilized, I’ll still marry Malcolm. I promised.”Bonnie paused for a moment, and before she could reply, she heard Luna asking, “Do…you have any news about Joshua?”Bonnie let out a sigh and replied, “No.”Joshua had disappeared since the engagement party as though he had vanished into thin air.That morning, when Bonnie had contacted Lucas, Lucas sounded so exhausted that his voice had gone hoarse. He said that they could not find Joshua either.They had searched the entire city but could not find him anywhere.Luna closed her hands and clenched her fists.During their video cal
