Heather bit her lip and said with an upset look as she tried to coax the baby in her arms, "Father, can't you smell the air? Doesn't it stink to you?"Even though Luna can take it, but I, as a person who had been taking care of herself at home, can't stand this smell at all."As for the disinfectant and perfume, rural places like this have plenty of germs and viruses. Riley has just turned a month old, and her immune system is still weak, so is it wrong of me to ask my servant to disinfect the air?"On top of that, I know the disinfectant smells terrible, so I let them spray some perfume to freshen it up. Is that wrong of me?"Besides, Starhill Hotel is the best hotel in Merchant City, and Malcolm insists on giving me only the best. Should I reject his offer just because Luna has been there in the past?"Finally, how outrageous it is to accuse me of trying to provoke Luna. I had just given birth, and as my sister, Luna, should be the one who comes to visit me at mine and Malcolm's
As soon as she said this, Charles suddenly realized that he had no way of answering Luna's questions.He turned his head away, refusing to meet Luna's clear, sharp gaze. Charles raised his clenched fists and let out a slight cough. He stared at the scenery in the yard, tilting his head away from Luna, and said slowly, "Luna, I know you are still absorbed in the grief of losing your baby, but your child's death has nothing to do with Heather at all."Heather's intention of bringing the child over to visit you and Mother was out of kindness.."With that, he turned to stare at Luna. "The way you and your friend treated her, as well as how you pushed the servant holding Riley. Don't you think it was hurtful to do so?""Was it?" Luna turned around, sat down underneath the umbrella, and started eating her breakfast with Gwen. "Well, if you think it was hurtful of me to do so, then don't you think what she did hurt me as well?"Charles furrowed his brows and replied, "Luna, if you thin
"After all, if you didn't have the heart to manage the family's business, you wouldn't be good at it anyway, but now, I just need you to put on an act and attend Malcolm and Heather's wedding and give them your blessings. Are you even unwilling to do just that?"The more Charles spoke, the angrier he got. "I must've spoiled you too much!"Luna curled her lips into a smirk. "Since Heather and I are so different and you are so disappointed in me, Mr. Landry… Why did you even insist that I return to the family? Why did you force me to swear that I'd never see Joshua again?"She elegantly set down her cutlery and continued, "I thought that you had done all that because you truly liked me and wanted to treat me like a real daughter, but I guess…"She sneered. "I guess the reason you wanted me to come back…was because my identity at that time was both Joshua Lynch's ex-wife and Malcolm Quinn's fiancée, huh?"At that time, I was truly useful to the Landry family, but now that I have lost
Rosalyn's finger twitched next to her. Riley, who had finally stopped crying, stared at Rosalyn's finger curiously and reached out to grab hold of it.As soon as she extended her hand, Heather stopped her and said, sneering, "Riley, you shouldn't touch everything you see. That's bad luck right there."With that, she stood up with the child in her arms and stared at Rosalyn from her height, grinning from ear to ear. "Initially, I regretted not killing you instantaneously and instead, left you one final breath, but now, seeing how pitiful you look, I think I made the right call."If you died that day, how can you feel the pain of watching me play your husband and daughter right in the palm of my hands?"The more she said, the more delighted she got, and finally, she handed the baby to a nearby servant and strode out of the room.In the yard, Charles was still glaring at Luna, his face red with rage. "Luna, I've been clear; you have to attend your sister and Malcolm's wedding in
"Give her some time. The reason I'm so sensible and rational is because of the education and upbringing I received from the Landry family, but Luna was brought up by a poor family in Sea City, so it's only natural that she doesn't have much consideration for others."Heather's words had a double meaning to them. On the one hand, she accused Luna of being inconsiderate, having been raised by uncultured people.On the other hand, she was hinting that Joseph and Natasha Gibson had both come from poor families and thus, had significant character flaws. Charles nodded in reply. As he got into the car, he could not help lamenting how fortunate it was that he had kept Heather by his side and did not send her back to the Gibsons in Sea City.Otherwise, even a sensible woman like Heather would one day become like Luna if she stayed with the Gibsons for long enough…Having been angered by Luna, Charles leaned against the backseat and closed his eyes in exhaustion as soon as he got into the
Before the driver could make sense of what Joshua was saying, a middle-aged man had gotten out of the RV, followed by a woman holding a baby.Charles stormed to the front of Joshua's car and knocked on the hood. "Come out!"This man was dressed in an expensive suit, and that face…Everyone in Merchant City recognized that face.This man was the president of Landry Group, Charles Landry!The color drained from the driver's face. "Mr. Lynch, we seem…to have gotten ourselves in big trouble.""No, they're the ones who have gotten themselves in big trouble." Joshua buttoned his cuff and, after patting his suit down elegantly, pushed the door open and got out of the car."Why are you so angry, Mr. Landry?"Initially, Charles thought it was just an ordinary citizen inside the car, but as soon as the man in the black suit got out of the car, emanating an aura of elegance and arrogance, he realized that this was Joshua's car!He immediately frowned and said, "Joshua Lynch? What are you
As soon as he thought of this, Charles narrowed his eyes and said, "How I treat Luna is my family's business and has nothing to do with you!"Joshua curled his lips into an elegant smile and replied, "Yes, it's your family's business, and it has nothing to do with me at all, but on top of that, I can't be bothered to stick my nose into all your business."With that, Joshua lifted his gaze to glance coldly at Heather and her child. "However, I still have to interfere in Luna's business."Seeing that Joshua was staring at her with a hostile expression, Heather quickly took a step back and hid behind Charles. "Father, let's get out of here…"Joshua Lynch looks terrifying, and I'm scared…"Just now, he let his driver crash into our car, and now, he's staring at me like this…"Heather started sobbing as she continued, "I'm worried he'll hurt Riley… I know that he's devastated over losing his and Luna's child, but he can't take his anger out on Riley…"It's not like Riley had taken th
"There seems to be an accident up ahead." As soon as she heard Gwen saying this, Luna, sitting in the backseat, frowned as she scrolled through the photos Nellie had sent her. "How can an accident occur at a place like this?"Jim had deliberately picked out this place for her to live because this was a desolate area where not many cars passed by, so how could there be an accident?"It's true!" Gwen stared at the two cars before her and could not help frowning. "Luna, why does that RV look like the one your father and Heather arrived in?"Luna, who was on her phone, froze when she heard this.Had Charles and Heather not been gone for a long time already?She immediately lifted her head. She could see in the distance that a man in a grey suit was pressed on the hood of a car by a man in a black suit.Meanwhile, next to them, a man dressed like a driver was shouting something as he tried to pull at the black-suited man's arm.On the other hand, there seemed to be some people si
