"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
Malcolm and Heather exchanged a nervous glance.All the wedding gifts had indeed been placed at the hall entrance, and there were probably hundreds of thousands of dollars there, so how could they give them to these men so willingly?However, no matter how disgruntled they were at this arrangement, they had no choice but to swallow their frustrations.After all, Quinn Group was depending on Charles to save them!Malcolm and Heather watched in despair as the men left with the wedding gifts that belonged rightfully to them.After these men left, Malcolm ordered the guards to close the doors behind them.As soon as the doors closed, Charles let out an exhale. "Alright, now that there are no other unrelated people inside this room, I would like to announce my latest decision—"Onstage, Heather clenched her fists at her sides.Even though she had been humiliated by what happened…She turned to glance at Luna and curled her lips into a sneer.It was clear that Luna had deliberately
Charles' words were solid and powerful, and the entire room fell silent almost immediately.Pin-drop silence.Not only were Heather and Malcolm surprised, but even Joshua and Luna's faces were etched with shock.Jim was the only person without a single hint of surprise on his face. He was still leaning against his seat gracefully as he sipped his drink.Luna bit her lip, glancing at him, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on, Jim?"Jim put down his glass with a smile on his face and shot her a knowing look. "Just watch the show."Luna chewed her lip.It seemed that Jim had already known what Charles was going to say, which was why he had persuaded her over and over again to attend the wedding tonight and even dress up for it.However, Luna had never expected that…Charles, who had always adored Heather, would announce kicking her out of the family at such an occasion.As soon as she thought of this, Luna lifted her head to glance at Charles.At the same time, Charles wa
