"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
"Do you honestly believe that bullsh*t?"Don't you know that rich people like them are always out having fun even though they appear like sensible people?""You're right; there's probably almost thirty men in this line…"…The audience's whispers and murmurs echoed through the room.Onstage, Heather's entire body was as stiff as a rock as she held onto the cake knife.Malcolm narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice as he let go of her hand, "What on earth is going on?"Heather was so nervous that she could not even say a word.What else was she supposed to say?These men were…right.Every time she slept with them, she would always tell them that she would let them become the future heir of the Landry family so that they would perform better in bed.After all, everyone knew of the status of the Landry family in Merchant City.Therefore, no matter who they were and where they came from, every single one of these men would work harder to please Heather after hearing this.
"If you hadn't messed up my plan, I would've been able to get Luna to hand over the money to sustain the operations!"At this point, the gap in the funding was so large that they could not possibly fill it at all!If they did not manage to fill the gap within an hour, Quinn Group would go bankrupt!Malcolm bit his lip and shifted his gaze onto Luna, sitting among the crowd.She was still sitting on the sofa, watching the commotion as though none of this had anything to do with her.Malcolm knew that it was no use to ask Luna for help anymore…The only thing he could do was to let Charles step up.On one hand, kicking Luna out of the family would strengthen the shareholders' trust in Landry Group. On the other hand, it would allow the Landry family to use their remaining assets to help the Quinn family!Otherwise, after his efforts of binding the two corporations together over the last six months, Landry Group would also go broke after Quinn Group did!As soon as he thought of
Heather clenched her fists at her sides.She suddenly recalled what had happened that morning.At that time, Jim had also brought out a tablet and recited all of the mistakes and wrongdoing she had committed over the last few months to Charles.She had thought that Jim had only started to target her after she took over Landry Group, but it turned out…He had been preparing for this moment and lying in wait as far back as five years ago.It was obvious that Jim was the mastermind behind this disruption at her wedding.She had underestimated this man.It turned out that he was not idle at all and, instead, was waiting for the perfect moment to pounce!As soon as she thought of this, Heather bit her lip, and a twinge of hatred spread through her eyes.Finally, after a few minutes that felt like a century, the slideshow of Heather's photos ended.At this moment, Malcolm's expression was as dark as the night sky.Beneath the stage, the crowd had erupted into murmurs.All of the
