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
The reason he had said this was so that Heather and the baby would be quiet and give him some peace, but to Luna and Gwen, it sounded entirely different. Luna, who had been rubbing Charles' chest to reassure him, froze in her tracks. Next to her, Gwen was outraged and snapped, "Mr. Landry, you have to know that it was Luna who had saved you from being killed by Joshua!"Why was this man telling Heather he was fine when Luna was the one who had saved him? What kind of father was he?"Gwen, it's fine." Luna lowered her gaze and turned to glance at Heather. "Don't you have plenty of servants with you? Let them bring Father into the car and take him to a hospital."Heather pursed her lips, then turned and gestured to the servants waiting in the car.The servants quickly got out and helped Charles into the vehicle.Luna, too, stood up and remained a safe distance from them. Charles, who was being brought into the car by the servants, glanced at Luna. After opening his mouth for a
As soon as she heard this, Luna clenched her fists next to her.She closed her eyes, feeling as though an invisible hand was squeezing her heart at this moment.She had guessed that the reason Joshua had treated Charles like this was not because of his own doing.She knew him very well, and she understood that this man was not stupid. He would never try to kill Charles in broad daylight.Luna guessed that Charles must have said something he should not have and did something that crossed the line to anger Joshua, but she never expected…She never expected that Charles would use the dead baby to taunt Joshua.Had he forgotten that this baby did not only belong to Joshua but was also hers?Seeing that Luna was not speaking, Joshua let out a sigh. Then, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and turned to glance at Luna and Gwen's car. "Where are you going?"Gwen pursed her lips and replied, "We were planning to go to the church in the eastern part of the city to pray for
"Let's stick to the original plan and go to Luna's house."The driver froze when he heard this. "But…"Luna and Gwen had already left their house, so why were they still headed there?Joshua seemed to sense the driver's puzzlement, so he curled his lips into a smile and said impassively, "Do you think there's no other living person there apart from Luna and Gwen?"The driver finally nodded and started the car.The men standing guard outside the house were Jim's men, so they were all familiar with Joshua.When they saw him arrive, the guards told him that Luna had left, but when he insisted on entering the house, none of them stopped him.After entering the door, Joshua headed straight to Rosalyn's room.Inside her room, one of Rosalyn's servants was inserting a nasogastric tube into her nose.Since she had been rendered into a vegetative state, she could not eat like a normal person, and thus the only way to sustain her nourishment was through a nasogastric tube.When the ser
