Jim rolled his eyes at Joshua. “Does your son listen to everything you say?”Joshua contemplated this for a moment, then replied, “Yes, they do, and they never call me Mr. Lynch.”Jim rolled his eyes once more and snapped, “Whatever.”Soon, the chicken that Harvey had ordered was served. One of Malcolm's men, who had disguised himself as the waiter, ‘accidentally’ bumped into Luna and placed multiple tracking devices onto her clothes without her noticing.Harvey munched on the fried chicken and deliberately splattered oil onto Luna's clothes. Then, he picked up a tissue and helped her wipe her clothes clean while surreptitiously removing the tracking devices from her.Malcolm furrowed his brows as he watched Harvey cleaning Luna. “Harvey, didn’t your dad…teach you table manners?”The Landry family was wealthy, and as the master of the Landry family, how could Jim educate his son so poorly and raise him without table manners?“Nope.” Harvey shrugged as he continued eating. “In
“Joshua Lynch!”As soon as Malcolm caught sight of Joshua, he became so agitated that he gripped his cup so hard that his knuckles turned white.Joshua glanced at his hand and curled his lips into a small smile. “Mr. Quinn, you’ve been searching for me for so long… Never did you expect that I’d show up in front of you, right?”He lowered his head to glance at his phone.At that moment, he had received a message from Harvey that read, [It’s a success.]This meant that the men whom Malcolm had sent to follow Luna were trailing Harvey’s car instead.On top of that, all the tracking devices that had been placed on Luna had been removed and stuck onto Harvey instead.As soon as he saw this, Joshua let out an exhale and lifted his head to glance at Malcolm, who was glaring at him with a murderous expression. “If you don’t stand up now, Mr. Quinn, you might not have a chance anymore.”With that, Joshua took out a shiny gun from his waist holster and fired two shots without hesitation.
The man leading the group scoffed and said, “How dare this man hurt Master Quinn? We’ll put bullets through his head tonight!”After circling Ring Road five times with the cars chasing after him, Joshua’s car started to show low fuel. On top of that, his car had suffered a few gunshots. All of a sudden, Joshua’s phone chimed. It was a message from Bonnie. Luna had arrived home safe and sound.As soon as he received this message, Joshua let out an exhale and steered his car away from the freeway, heading toward a desolate stretch of road.The men chasing behind him sneered at this sight.Was this man an idiot? Why did he drive off into a place like this?Not only would they be able to find him, but they could capture him alive!The leader gave orders to chase after Joshua's car at full speed. They would be able to capture him alive!The men tucked their guns away and zipped after Joshua’s car. Finally, as they were passing by a small slope—Joshua suddenly stepped on the g
When Luna finally arrived at Tea Cottage, it was already nighttime. Bonnie, who was leaning against the couch, leaped up and pulled her into a hug as soon as she saw Luna entering. “You’re okay; that’s great!”Bonnie had lunged so quickly and forcefully onto her that Luna almost lost her balance. She stumbled and quickly righted herself before asking, “What’s going on?”“Just now, I saw on the news that there was a gun shooting at Lucky Den, and Malcolm had gotten hurt. I thought that—”Luna's entire body stiffened as soon as she heard this.She lifted her head and glanced at the television screen. The newscaster was announcing the breaking news on the gun shooting at Lucky Den in a cold voice, “The shooting had happened so quickly that by the time everybody came to again, Master Quinn’s legs had already been hurt, and the shooter had fled the scene“Fortunately, Malcolm Quinn’s legs had been injured in a car accident a month ago, which rendered his legs paralyzed. Therefore, ev
Suddenly, one of the servants knocked on her door. “Ms. Luna, this is the recording device that Mr. Lynch left today—”Luna pulled her covers up above her head and replied flatly, “Throw it away. I don’t want to listen to it anymore.”The servant remained silent for a moment, then placed the recording device on top of Luna's suitcase, which was parked next to her door. Luna closed her eyes as she listened to the servant’s retreating footsteps. A bitter smile crept across her face.How could she believe that a selfish man who had never been willing to admit his mistakes would suddenly change for her in two weeks?She had been tricked by his sweet words.…Swan Lake Chalet. Joshua handed the silver gun back to Jim and said, “Thank you.”Jim glanced at the gun and tossed it into the trash can. “It’s of no use to me anymore.”Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and realized what Jim was talking about. “Can people identify you from the gun and the bullets inside it?”Jim nodded
Something had happened to Rosalyn!Jim immediately stood up and stormed out the door, having forgotten about the conversation he was having with Joshua. “Christopher! Christopher!”Meanwhile, Christopher sprinted out of another room in a far corner of the house and asked, “What’s wrong?”Jim did not even have the time to explain. Instead, he grabbed hold of Christopher’s wrist and ran out the door. Christopher was still wearing his indoor slippers, and, having been dragged out of the house, his slippers had fallen off. He was dragged onto the car with his feet bare.Joshua stood by the window and watched this unfold. As soon as he saw the worry on Jim’s face, he followed them out the door. At night, most of the servants and the driver had already gone home for the day, and there were only a few bodyguards left.Jim slid into the driver’s seat, but he was so nervous that he could not even ignite the engine. He was frustrated by this and picked up his phone. “One of the bodyguards
Besides…What did Heather mean by Charles ‘almost going with Lucy’ when she died?This was a lie that had been fabricated to protect Charles’ reputation!Lucy had suffered a tragic death many years ago…and Charles had remarried barely five years after her death!Joshua did not believe any of this at all.Besides, Joshua had not shown any mercy toward Granny Lynch before she died… If he really loved Lucy, why would he kill Lucy’s mother without any hesitation?As soon as he thought of this, Joshua sneered and closed his eyes.Meanwhile, in the hospital…The light above the emergency room was still flashing.Charles sat on the bench in front of the emergency room, holding his head in his hands.Christopher, who was a doctor, had entered the emergency room.Jim, on the other hand, was leaning against the wall, staring unblinkingly at the emergency room door.The elevator arrived on their floor.Heather stormed out of the elevator, looking flustered. “Mother! What happened to
“How can she not be their daughter?”As soon as he said this, Heather interrupted him. She lifted her head to glare at him and snapped, “When Aura came to find us, all the evidence showed that she was the child Mother and Father had lost in Sea City! Besides, we also did a DNA test!“The results said that Aura’s DNA was a perfect match of Mother and Father’s, which meant they were related!”With that, Heather wiped the tears from her face and started crying again. “Jim, what do you mean by this? Are you questioning Mother and Father’s judgment, or are you questioning the validity of the DNA test?“Aura has already passed away for so long now, but all of a sudden, you’re saying she isn’t Father and Mother’s child… What are you trying to do?”Jim narrowed his eyes when he heard this, then turned to glance at Charles. “Father, do you honestly think that cruel woman, the woman who had returned to Banyan City to kill Lucy’s mother, would be your daughter?”Charles was about to say som
