Christopher’s entire body stiffened when he heard this.He furrowed his brows, quickly took out his phone and dialed the number that he had saved in his phone as Jude’s.The phone of the man standing before him started to ring…Christopher froze in shock. “You’re Jude Smith?”However, the man that he had met at the airport, the one who had claimed to be Jude, was not this man at all!Having grown up in a family of prestigious doctors, Christopher had been able to differentiate even the most minute differences between various herbs since young. Therefore, it was impossible that he would misremember. The man standing before him was not the one he had met at the airport at all!What was going on?Seeing the surprised expression on Christopher’s face, Jude let out a sigh and closed his eyes. “We’ve been tricked.”The ‘Christopher’ he had met with was not the real Christopher at all.The ‘Jude’ that Christopher had met was not the real Jude, either. Because of this, Jude had gi
Christopher could not help lamenting, “You’re such a detail-oriented person, Mr. Lynch.”It was clear that a spy from the Quinn family was working for him. Otherwise, how else could Malcolm have known about the Clinging Root and that Jude would be bringing it over?Joshua opened his eyes wearily and glanced at Jude. “Help me take care of Nigel, Neil, and Nellie. I have to get some rest now…”With that, he closed his eyes and passed out.Christopher let out a sigh as he wiped the sweat from Joshua’s forehead.This man…had extraordinary determination.No ordinary person could wake up in seven days after falling off a cliff, much less fly to another country to attend a party. Not only that, but no ordinary person would be able to settle everything before passing out.This determined man would one day become Jim’s biggest enemy in the business market.As soon as this thought crossed Christopher’s mind, he could not help feeling worried for Jim.…Landry Mansion.Luna vomited her
The Landry family had finally found out about Luna's pregnancy.In the middle of the night, all of the members of the Landry family sat down for an emergency meeting.Luna clutched the pillow that the doctor had given her to alleviate her nausea as she sat quietly in a corner, watching Charles and Jim fight.“This baby belongs to Joshua Lynch, so we can’t keep it!” Charles remembered the way Joshua had kneeled with the three children at the entrance of the hall, begging Luna to return to his side.Joshua clearly wanted to use the children to force her to return.Luna was Charles and Rosalyn’s daughter, and judging from how important Rosalyn’s children mattered to her, Charles knew that Luna would be the same!Just because Luna could abandon the three children and leave Joshua did not mean that she would do the same to the fourth.As soon as he thought of this, Charles could not help narrowing his eyes and said, “Where’s the doctor? Perform an abortion surgery right now!”Heathe
“Since a daughter of the Landry family cannot bear children for the Lynch family, then what about me, a child of both? Why didn’t you kill me from the beginning, Father?”The entire room fell into silence upon hearing this.Charles glared at Jim and snapped, “What nonsense are you saying? You’re becoming more and more outrageous every day! You didn’t inherit any of your mother’s gentleness and humility at all!”Jim sneered. “You’re right. I didn’t inherit any of my mother’s strengths at all, and instead, I inherited all of your worst traits. You should’ve seen this coming, Mr. Landry. If so, why didn’t you kill me from the beginning?”“You—” Charles was so enraged that his blood pressure soared, and he slumped down in a chair, his entire face scarlet with fury. “You disrespectful thing! Disrespectful!”Rosalyn could not bear to see Charles like this, so she let out a sigh and glanced at Jim. “Jim, why do you have to say such provocative things like this? Your father didn’t mean an
Malcolm…came?Luna’s entire body stiffened when she heard the servants’ conversation.The servant said Malcolm had heard that she was pregnant, so he came to admit his wrongdoing. With all the rumors swirling around, it seemed as though the child in her belly was Malcolm’s.However…Luna knew it better than anyone that this child belonged to Joshua.On top of that, when she reached Merchant City, Malcolm’s legs had already been injured in his accident. The two of them could not have slept together at all, so what was Malcolm thinking, and why did he come?“What does Luna’s pregnancy have anything to do with Malcolm? What is he trying to admit to?” Jim’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he glanced at Luna. Then, he turned and looked toward the door.“Do you think he will say that the child is his? The timing is not possible. Besides, how long has he been crippled?”Jim’s words made Charles frown. He then gave Jim a stern look and said, “So what if he is crippled? Six years ag
Luna did not know what kind of expression to put on for Malcolm.“Malcolm.” Charles furrowed his brows and glanced at the man on the wheelchair with a stern look. “You said that you are here to admit your wrongdoing? What did you do?”Malcolm sighed and turned to look at Luna’s face, a small smile playing on his lips. “That’s because the child inside of Luna’s belly is mine.”The entire room fell into silence upon hearing this.Jim frowned. “When did Master Quinn pick up the hobby of randomly claiming other people’s child as his? You’re claiming the child in Luna's belly is yours, but Luna has been pregnant for a month now. A month ago, Master Quinn, you had just been in an accident that crippled you and caused plenty of other physical damages… Are you telling me you managed to get Luna pregnant in that condition?”His rude comments silenced the whole living room.Charles’ eyebrows curled up with rage, and he shouted, “Jim! Where are your manners?”Jim grinned. “I don’t have any
Luna’s heart leaped when she heard this.She pursed her lips and withdrew her hand from Malcolm's grasp. “Malcolm, I already owe you too much. I don’t want to be indebted to you any further.”Besides, she already had the feeling that Malcolm was different from the past. Even though he had come to Landry Mansion to help her, but…That night, backstage, he had wanted Charles to persuade Luna into marrying him.Furthermore, Malcolm rushed over as soon as he heard that she was pregnant.Luna could not help feeling uncomfortable about this, but she could not seem to put her finger on what was strange about Malcolm's behavior.“Luna.” Malcolm let out a sigh and grabbed hold of Luna's hand once more. “You promised me that you’d marry me no matter what. I know it might be unacceptable for you that I wanted you to announce our engagement at the same time that you’re announcing your return to the Landry family, but it’s different now. You wouldn’t want…”He let out a sigh and continued, “
“Alright.”Malcolm was a detail-oriented man, and this was indeed the best way to protect this child.After getting an answer from Luna, Malcolm was so excited that he hugged Luna from behind and said in a gentle tone, “Don’t worry; I’ll do my best to protect both you and this child so that your pregnancy and labor can go smoothly.”Luna finally made up her mind when she heard this, and she nodded earnestly.…The following day, the news of Luna, the second daughter of the Landry family, getting engaged with Malcolm became the headline of all the news outlets.Almost everyone in Merchant City had seen this shocking piece of news.Some of them gave their blessings, some of them were surprised, while some people even questioned Malcolm's intentions of getting together with Luna in the first place.Some of the reporters even interview Heather, the eldest daughter of the Landry family.Heather let out an expression of impatience when faced with the cameras. “They’ve been together
