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
When Luna showed up at Starhill Hotel, arm-in-arm with Jim, it was less than an hour from the start of the wedding ceremony.The two of them registered their names at the front desk.Jim declared their names to the hostess impatiently.Luna, on the other hand, started glancing around the venue as her hold remained on Jim.The venue of the wedding was decorated very extravagantly.Heather was right: She and Malcolm's wedding was indeed far more luxurious and extravagant than Luna and Malcolm's engagement party.Just as Luna was looking around the place, a black Masevati pulled up at the hotel entrance.Standing at the entrance, Luna immediately caught sight of the woman that had gotten out of the car.Cheryl was indeed wearing the dress that Jim had tricked her into buying that afternoon.However…The dress was totally inappropriate for her.Cheryl was a delicate and graceful woman, but this dress was more daring and suited for mature women, so it did not look good on her at
"The reason I had asked you to come with me was that I couldn't be bothered to find someone else to be my plus-one."Don't waste your time on me, and don't get jealous of other people because of me."Joshua thought that he was being extremely clear, but to Cheryl, this was not what she understood at all.She snickered internally as she nodded obediently in reply to his words.All men were liars.Joshua claimed that the only woman he loved was his ex-wife, the mother of his children…but what about Luna?She was not his ex-wife either, was she?Previously, Cheryl had heard from some of her colleagues, who had come from Banyan City, that Joshua's ex-wife had died six years ago.Since Joshua could fall for Luna, why could he not fall for her, too?As soon as she thought of this, Cheryl let out an exhale and curled her lips into a gentle smile. "Don't worry, President Lynch; I'll do as you say."Up until that point, the only man she had fallen in love with was Joshua Lynch and no
Malcolm's entire body stiffened when he heard this.He stared at Joshua with a frown on his face. "Did you spy on me?"How else could Joshua have known that he had injured his head?Joshua narrowed his eyes, sneering.It turned out stupidity was contagious; Malcolm had lost his intelligence after being with Heather for so long.Malcolm was wearing a hat on such an important occasion…so did he honestly think no one could tell that he had injured his head?However, since Malcolm's first instinct was that Joshua had spied on him…Joshua had no intention of correcting him.As soon as he thought of this, Joshua curled his lips into a small smile. "What I'm asking you now is do you think you're a match for me?"With that, he glanced at Malcolm's hat and added, "Do you suppose you'll be able to go on with your wedding as planned if I punch a hole right into your head?"Malcolm gritted his teeth upon hearing this. "What else do you know about me?"He had not thought that Joshua would
Cheryl was still a young girl, after all.Joshua let out a sigh and instinctively began searching the crowd for Luna.Soon, he caught sight of her, sitting in a corner and chatting with Jim.She was as elegant as always, emanating an aura of grace and tranquility that no one could ignore.Joshua glanced first at Luna, then at Cheryl, and could not help lamenting how time had passed.He still remembered that when he and Luna had first gotten married; she had been around Cheryl's age too.All girls this age must have longed for a grand, lavish wedding like this, did they not?Suddenly, Joshua recalled what Charles had said just minutes earlier…"I hear that he and his ex-wife had never hosted a wedding before, from their marriage to their divorce…"Joshua let out a sigh, and a twinge of guilt crept into his eyes.He had never given Luna the wedding of her dreams before.At that time, he had always thought that he would never fall in love with Luna and that the only reason he h
