“Stop!”Jim was just about to drag Luna out of the house when Charles turned to stare at him. “If you want to leave, you should do so yourself! Who gave you the right to take Luna with you?”Charles strode over and pulled Luna's hand out of Jim's. “Just now, Malcolm called me and suggested that they bring him and Luna's wedding forward to bring some good luck to Rosalyn. The reason I came home today was to talk to Luna about this.”With that, he glanced at Jim out of the corner of his eyes and said, “Now that you're taking her away, who am I supposed to talk to?”Jim could not help snickering when he heard this. “Bring some good luck to Mother? Only an idiot like you would believe Malcolm's tricks!”“Shut up!” Charles slammed his hand on the coffee table so hard that Christopher's machine shook.Christopher knew that he could not continue staying here any longer, so he quickly packed his things up, getting ready to leave.As he did this, the lab report that he had generated fell
“Father, you can't possibly… You can't possibly believe what Jim says, right?“I… How could I possibly…”Charles narrowed his eyes. He exuded an aura so domineering that Heather suddenly felt it difficult to breathe. "Heather."Charles narrowed his eyes as he stared at Heather's pale face. “If you admit your mistake now, I’ll still forgive the terrible choices you have made, considering I've raised you for so many years, but if you insist on lying…”His expression darkened. “Some lies are so fragile they can easily be exposed. Are you sure you want me to investigate this?”Heather bit her lip as she met Charles' icy gaze. Then, she kneeled on the floor with a thud and admitted the truth, “Father, it was all my fault…“I…I just thought if Luna gives birth to her child, it’ll bring chaos to both her and all of us, including the child itself… That's why I made such a terrible mistake…”Before she could even finish, Charles gave her a hard kick. “Even if we were to get rid of this c
The entire room fell into silence. Luna's body stiffened when she heard this.Who was the one that had countered the drug for Heather?All the servants who worked the night shift at Landry Mansion were women, and the security guards all roamed around outside the house, so they would not have entered the house without permission.Therefore, the only person who could have done this was…Luna suddenly recalled that Malcolm had been wheeled out of the house by his servant in the morning. She could vaguely remember seeing a small bite mark on Malcolm's hand when she had stopped him to ask whether he had tried to kill Joshua. At that time, she had wondered who could have had the guts to bite Malcolm's hand, but on second thought…Luna glanced at the hickey on Heather's neck.The man who had spent the night with Heather…The answer was on everyone's mind. However, only she and Jim had bumped into Malcolm when they returned home, and Charles had not. Therefore, he glared at Heat
How could Malcolm have…At this moment, Luna no longer thought Malcolm was the kind and gentle man he used to be anymore.She immediately glanced at Heather, kneeling on the ground.She did not know whether Heather was doing this on purpose or not, but at this moment, Heather's collar had shifted out of its place, revealing the patch of hickeys all over her collarbone and neck.At the same time, her sleeve had been rolled up, exposing the hickeys on her arm. From the marks all over her body, it was clear what a vigorous night it had been for her and Malcolm.Charles placed his hand on his forehead in exasperation. He never thought…He never thought so much stuff had happened at Landry Mansion while he was away last night at Rosalyn's bedside, talking to her as he held her hand.He closed his eyes and ordered the butler in a weak voice, “Show me the security footage of last night!”The butler nodded and quickly sent someone to check the security tapes.Soon, they managed to
The color drained from Luna's face, who was being shielded behind Jim's back. She wrung her hands together and lifted her head to stare at Granny Quinn. "Granny Quinn, I think this wedding can't go on anymore.""What do you mean, this wedding can't go on anymore?" Granny Quinn sneered and stared at Luna. "Are you unaware of the amount of effort we put in to save you six years ago?"As she said this, she sneered at Luna contemptuously, "I never liked you from the start, but Malcolm was willing to call off his engagement for you and insisted on taking care of you and even the three little rascals of yours!"Now that you've become the second daughter of the Landry family, you want to get rid of our Malcolm with a lame excuse just like that? In your dreams!""A lame excuse?" Jim narrowed his eyes and stared at Granny Quinn coldly. "Your previous grandson came to our house in the middle of the night and slept with my other sister. How dare you call this a lame excuse?"Granny Quinn let
As soon as Malcolm said this, Granny Quinn frowned. "Are you really willing to marry this good-for-nothing woman? Do you know that—"Before she could finish her sentence, Malcolm shot her a murderous glare that made her shut up immediately."Let's just leave it at that." Malcolm lifted his head to glance at Charles. "However, Mr. Landry, my mind is a little confused right now, so it's difficult for me to accept this news…"I think it's best to postpone my and Heather's wedding for now."Granny Quinn quickly added, "Yes, yes, let's postpone the wedding for as long as we can."Maybe sometime soon, your precious Heather will also become pregnant with some unknown man's baby…and maybe then we'll have to call off the wedding once more!"The entire room fell into silence upon hearing this. Jim narrowed his eyes. "What are you implying? Who are you saying is pregnant with an unknown man's baby?"Granny Quinn pretended to have accidentally blurted something out and quickly placed her
The airport.Nigel leaned feebly against the seat of his wheelchair as he gazed intently in the direction of the entrance.Neil let out a sigh as he clutched his hand. "Nigel, let's not wait anymore. We should get on the plane now."With that, he glanced at the entrance and added, "If Mommy could come, she wouldn't have not shown up at Uncle Christopher's place last night. Maybe she…has her own problems to deal with."Nigel bit his lip when he heard this, but his gaze was still fixated on the entrance in the distance.He hoped to see Mommy, even if it was just a glimpse of her. She used to care so much about them in the past, so how could she let them leave without even saying goodbye?This time, if everything went smoothly, the three children would return to Banyan City and never come back to Merchant City.On top of that, the Landry family would never allow Luna to go to Banyan City either.Therefore, if they did not manage to meet up, then the next time they saw each other
Luna lifted her head.The chiseled face before hers was none other than Joshua's.Joshua stared at her with a sneer playing on his lips. "This plane was supposed to take off two hours ago, but the children kept on pestering me to wait for you, and this even took up two hours of Jude's time."Nigel kept calling and texting you until his phone ran out of battery."He lowered his head to glance at the time and added, "Two hours, but it only takes twenty minutes from Landry Mansion to the airport. I never thought you’d be so busy after returning to the Landry family, Ms. Luna."The night before, when Nigel had passed out, Luna had promised Nellie that she would visit them at Swan Lake Chalet, but she did not keep her promise.The three children wanted to see her for one last time before leaving Merchant City, but she missed this one, too.Joshua could understand the cruelty Luna displayed toward him, but he did not understand how Luna could be so heartless toward the children as wel
