"Of course the money should stay with me and be subject to my disposal."Luna, who had finally recomposed herself from the shock of being slapped by Charles, sneered and glanced at Heather coldly. "Don't forget this money is what Father and Mother owe me."Mr. Landry abandoned me in the orphanage when I was just a child, causing me to suffer in a poor family for more than twenty years and even be bullied and insulted by the Gibsons over the years."Therefore, this money was given to me to make up for all the suffering I had been through."With that, Luna glanced at Charles, snickering. "Why don't you tell us what you intend to do with this money, Mr. Landry?"Charles leaned against his chair feebly and waved his hand at Luna. "Well, when your mother and I froze this money to leave it under your name, we had never thought of taking it back from you."You don't have to say things like this to make me feel bad. If you want the money, you can take it. I have no right to stop you anyw
When Jim finally got to the last row of words, Heather's legs had gone so weak that she needed to hold onto a chair for support.She did not dare to object to him at all, fearing that he would bring out even more evidence!Charles was unaware of all of the things that Heather had done, but with just one glance at Heather's face, he knew instantaneously that everything Jim had said was true.His expression darkened when he realized this.He narrowed his eyes and glanced first at Heather, then at Luna.Finally, he shot Jim a cold glare and snapped, "It turns out that even though you claimed not to interfere in Landry Group's business during these few months, you've secretly been observing everything!"If Jim had not been watching since the start, he would not have been able to keep track of all the mistakes that Heather had committed.Heather's expression lit up when she heard this. She bit her lip and glared at Jim. "That's right. It turns out your claim was fake, and you had sec
Luna’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing this.She bit her lip and grabbed hold of Heather's collar, staring at her intently. "If my child isn’t dead, where is she?"Luna was gripping Heather so hard that she could not breathe.Heather stared at Luna with a pale face and yelled, "Let go of me! Let go of me!"Heather was just trying to irk her because Luna had laughed at her for marrying into the Quinn family. In reality, she had no intention of telling Luna the truth about her child at all.However, she had underestimated the concern and love of a mother toward her child.At this moment, Luna had lost all sign of her usual gentleness and humility and was clutching onto Heather's collar like an enraged lion, demanding to know the child’s whereabouts.Seeing that Heather was about to be suffocated, Theo quickly stormed into the room and grabbed hold of Luna. "Alright, alright now. She’ll die if you don’t stop choking her."If she doesn’t want to tell you the truth, then choking
Heather bit her lip. "Then how about kicking Luna out of the family?""I've already said that I'll announce the news after you and Malcolm's wedding ceremony is over tonight." Charles rubbed his brows in frustration and said in a tired voice, "You wouldn't want Luna to steal the limelight, would you?"Heather paused. "You're right."With that, she tucked the ointment away and leaned against the passenger seat lazily. "In that case, Father, should I notify all the shareholders of the company to attend my and Malcolm's wedding tonight because there's an important announcement to be made?"In the backseat, Charles let out a murmur of approval.Heather narrowed her eyes, a triumphant look crossing her face.She would summon everyone in the company to watch Luna getting kicked out of the family after witnessing her fairytale wedding.As soon as she thought of this, Heather could not help curling her lips into a triumphant smile.Luna was no match for her.She had defeated her six y
Malcolm was choking Heather so harshly that she could not breathe.She bit her lip as she wheezed, "Malcolm… How did I even ruin your plans…?"Didn't you take those photos to…sabotage Luna like this?"As soon as he heard this, Malcolm got so angry that he gripped her neck even harder. He glared at the woman before him and snapped, "How would you know what I was planning to do? Do you know what consequences will happen now that you have posted those photos and videos?"If you didn't expose those photos, Luna would still have been willing to hand over the money to prevent bringing shame to the Landry family and helped us get over this rut!"Now that you've posted the photos and videos, and everyone in the city has seen them, what am I supposed to use to threaten Luna into handing the money over?"White-hot rage was etched in Malcolm's bloodshot eyes as he choked Heather's neck. "Tell me!"Heather felt like she was about to die.However, she had no way of rebutting Malcolm because
After settling everything, Malcolm glanced coldly at the red fingerprints on Heather's neck. "Don't wear a necklace at the wedding tonight anymore; you should wear a ribbon around your neck instead."There was no way that these marks could be covered by concealer.Heather rolled her eyes at him and laid back down in the bed. "Alright, alright!"As long as the wedding could go on as planned and everyone in Landry Group could see how well she was doing compared to Luna, it did not matter whether she got to wear a necklace or not!…Luna's house.Luna stared at Jim with a frown on her face. "You want me to attend Heather and Malcolm's wedding tonight?""Yes." Jim picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea as he continued earnestly, "Not only do you have to attend, but you should look your best. I want you to be the most stunning woman there."Luna suddenly felt like laughing. "Jim, the star of tonight should be Heather."Jim was asking her to dress her best and become t
Luna and Jim immediately frowned upon hearing this as they exchanged glances.Joshua…was going to be attending the wedding as well?Seeing that Luna did not reply, Cheryl grew even more delighted. She glanced at Luna with a smirk on her face and said, "Now you finally know the truth, huh? I've already told you: President Lynch likes adorable, considerate women like me. As for a sl*t like you…"She rolled her eyes. "He's just toying around with you."As soon as she finished her sentence, Cheryl's lackeys added, fawning, "That's right; no woman is a match for our precious Cheryl!""No one can surpass her…""Don't bite off more than you can chew."…Jim curled his lips into a small smile when he heard this.He crossed his arms at his chest and stared at Cheryl with a mischievous look. "I didn't know Joshua Lynch's type was women like you."Cheryl puffed her chest out haughtily. "Of course!"Jim gave her a once-over and turned to point at the most expensive dress in the store. "
"What’s wrong?" asked Jim with a frown on his face when he noticed that Luna was zoning out.Luna quickly shook her head. "Nothing."Truthfully, she wanted to tell Jim what she had overheard on the phone since the Quinn and Landry families were a single unit, and if the Quinn family went broke, it would affect the Landry family too.However, after second thought, she stopped herself from doing so.After all, she was not going to be a Landry anymore tonight.The only two people she cared for in the Landry family were Rosalyn and Jim, but at this point, Rosalyn was already in Lincoln City, and Jim had also left Landry Group and started his own career elsewhere.She had no reason to care about the Landry family anymore.…That evening, at Starhill Hotel.Malcolm and Heather's wedding commenced as planned.There was a large banner announcing their wedding strung across the entrance of the hall, and there was even a giant wedding photo of the two of them hung next to it.Everyone
