As soon as he finished his sentence, Malcolm turned and strode out of the room, adjusting his tie at the same time. "Don't worry; I have other plans."Hunter had already left Merchant City for almost a month, and he had previously arranged for a woman and baby to show up at Quinn Mansion to play along with Hunter's act.Therefore, Joshua could not possibly have any time to investigate him when he should have been investigating Hunter at this point.Heather remained motionless and clenched her fists at her side, staring at Malcolm's retreating figure.How dare this man adore Luna so much and call her stupid? No matter how many times Malcolm claimed not to care about Luna, Heather knew that he still loved Luna and would rather have Luna over her!If it were not for the fact that she and Malcolm had slept together by accident eight months ago…Malcolm would have disposed of her already!What right did Luna have? Why did the two elders of the Landry family adore Luna so much, and why
"What a jokester you are, Jim." Heather chuckled. "Of course Riley is me and Malcolm's child; how can we possibly have messed up?"With that, she quickly changed the subject. "How are you doing now, Father? Does your head still hurt?"However, Jim refused to let her change the topic. "Heather, I don't think you should be so sure of yourself. I've been watching the news, and there have been many cases where the hospitals messed up the children in Merchant City as of late."He narrowed his eyes and added, "I think it'll be better if you, Malcolm, and Riley went to do a DNA test together. It'd be best if Riley were indeed your daughter, but if she isn't, we can still get the real one back."With that, he turned to glance at Charles. "What do you say, Father? You wouldn't want what happened to Heather and Luna to happen again, do you?"Charles furrowed his brows.Truth be told, he had agreed with Heather and felt it was not necessary to conduct the DNA test at all, but as soon as Jim
Heather turned around and smiled at the man leaning against his headboard. "Yes, Father.""Are you hurt?" Charles' gaze landed on Heather's shoulder.Heather paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head as she wiped her tears away. "No, I'm fine. It doesn't hurt at all."She sniffed and sat down in a chair next to Charles, then started reassuring him, sighing at the same time.Charles, thinking that she was sighing because of her encounter with Jim, lifted her head to stroke Heather's hair. "Don't be too bothered about that rascal. He has always been so rude and rough around other people.""But he's always been gentle to Luna." Heather sniffed and lifted her head to meet Charles' gaze. "Father, don't you think that Luna needs someone with her?"Charles furrowed his brows. "What do you mean?"Heather sighed and continued, "Actually, even though Luna had enraged you last night, it turned out that everything was just a misunderstanding."Luna hadn't brought Joshua Lynch here a
Luna never expected that Charles would arrange a blind date for her!She gripped her phone tightly and furrowed her brows. "Father, I don't need this. I—"Before she could even finish, Charles had already hung up the phone.Luna frowned even harder as she listened to the dial tone.After hanging up, she quickly dialed Charles' number once more, but she could not get through to him.Luna could not help feeling a little exasperated.How could she possibly go for a blind date knowing that what was happening with the child still had not been resolved yet?However, Charles was the one who had set up this date, and if she did not attend, the other party would think lowly of him.Luna decided not to be bothered by this anymore and went back to bed.She fell asleep until evening. Finally, she was awoken by Gwen knocking on her door. "Luna, the Landry family's butler has come to bring you to your blind date."Luna opened her eyes sleepily and could not help sighing when she heard wh
With that, he handed Luna a card and said, "However, if you don't mind, I think we can work together so that we can both fulfill our family's wishes."Luna furrowed her brows and took the card from him.The card was folded in half, and as soon as she unfolded it, she caught sight of one single row of words.[I'm gay.]Luna widened her eyes in shock and lifted her head to stare at the man before her.Master Crawford smiled at her and introduced himself, "Nice to meet you. My name is Caleb Crawford."Luna fell silent for two seconds before smiling and shaking his hand. "Hello, nice to meet you."She did not despise people like him at all. After all, there were all kinds of people in this world, and as long as they did not interfere with her life, she did not mind their sexual preferences at all.However, as soon as she found out that Master Crawford was not interested in women, she grew even more open in conversing with him.The two of them chatted happily in their booth. Apar
Luna and Caleb talked about everything, from jewelry design to Theo's drawings. Caleb mentioned that he was very fond of Theo and hoped that Luna would be able to introduce them someday."Don't worry; I know that he's straight. I just admire his work very much and would like to buy some of his drawings someday."Knowing how well-off Caleb was, Luna naturally could not miss out on the opportunity to help her friend close a business deal.Therefore, as she continued chatting with Caleb, she contacted Theo and finally managed to help them finalize a deal.When the two of them left Lucky Den after their meal, the sky had begun to pour with heavy rain.Caleb offered to send Luna home, and after rejecting his offer multiple times, Luna still got into his car in the end.Standing at the third-floor window, Joshua narrowed his eyes as he watched Luna get into Caleb's car.He could not imagine that this same woman who had called him the night before because she had a bad dream was gett
The bald man sneered, stood up, and circled Luna a few times before finally squatting in front of her and grabbing hold of her chin. "Why would a gorgeous woman like you be on a blind date with a man like Master Crawford? Don't you think I'm so much manlier than him? Hmm?"A glimmer of lustful greed flashed through his eyes. "Have some fun with me tonight, won't you?""Harris! I'm the one you should be looking for, so don't make things difficult for this woman," yelled Caleb, frowning. "She's from Merchant City, and her family is very powerful and wealthy here, so don't you dare touch her!"The man named Harris chuckled and reached out to grab hold of Luna's neck with one hand while the other pinched her cheek. "What's wrong? Are you worried about this woman, Master Crawford?"You had simply gone on one dinner date with this woman, but why are you already so concerned about her? I never knew you were such a hopeless romantic!" Harris' sweat and wine-stained fingers brushed across
Previously, Luna could not understand why Harris, the gangster who had come from Lincoln City, would want to capture her along with Caleb.As soon as he said this, however, she understood everything.This night, Harris had kidnapped both of them under the pretenses of capturing Caleb, but his real target was her!Therefore, it was clear that whoever had bought out Harris was someone from Merchant City, and this person was very familiar with Luna. This person knew that all of the gangs in Merchant City were under Luke's power now, and since Luna was Gwen's friend, no one in Merchant City would dare to hurt Luna. Even if they dared to take this dangerous task, they would soon be targeted by Luke. However, it was not the case for an outsider from Lincoln City. Harris had come all the way from Lincoln City to find Caleb, and even if Luke had found out about this, he would think that Harris was just after Caleb and would not interfere in this business. This had given Harris the
