"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
Joshua had thought that both Charles and Jim would never wake up to Malcolm and Heather's true nature.It turned out they had been planning this reveal all along.Both Malcolm and Heather would be able to experience their world being turned upside down, and none of them could escape this fate.All of a sudden, the images on the screen changed.It displayed the chart of the financial losses that Landry Group had suffered over the last few months.All of the points on the graph had been indexed with the decision and mistakes in operations that had led to this specific financial loss.This graph was clearly pointing out Heather's incompetency in running the company.Charles curled his lips into a small smile and continued, "Secondly, she had no talent whatsoever at managing a business but still insisted on occupying one of the critical positions at the company, and we all know what the consequences of this are."Thirdly—" Charles narrowed his eyes and pressed a button on the remot
"Well, Heather is an ungrateful adoptive daughter! I never thought that even after the Landry family raised her for more than twenty years, she'd treat their biological daughter like this!""This is crazy… The Landry family is even so kind as to wait until she's married and has become a part of the Quinn family to kick her out…""If it were me, I would've kicked her out as soon as I found out about what she did!"…Beneath the stage, the audience was gossiping about the news of Heather being kicked out of the family.Charles turned around to glance impassively at Heather, slumped on the ground. "Do you have anything you want to say about this?"Heather shrunk her neck back into her body and shook her head.She was not stupid; she would not defend herself at a time like this.She knew that Charles had already shown her mercy.If he were to expose the truth about her attempting to murder Rosalyn and Luna…then she would not only be kicked out of the family but even forced to go t
In the past, Luna had always been a jewelry designer and had never assumed any roles of leadership before.All of a sudden, she had inherited such a large company as Landry Group.She did not even prepare for a speech at all! At this moment, Charles shoved a piece of paper into her hand and said in a low voice, "Just read from this!"Grateful that help had arrived, Luna quickly spread out the piece of paper and recited in a loud voice, "Good evening, everyone. From today onward, I'll be taking over as the CEO of Landry Group. My brother, Jim, and I will give Landry Group a fresh start and lead everyone toward a new and brighter future!"We will rise to the challenge of our mortal enemy, and not only will we wipe out all the humiliation brought onto us over the past year, but we will make them pay for their actions…"After reciting the contents of this paper dazedly, Luna quickly found an excuse and scampered off the stage.When she returned to her seat, she could feel a tingle
