Jim did not have much of a reaction at all. Instead, he just frowned, staring at Joshua. "What on earth are you talking about? She's my sister, so of course I care about her innocence!"With that, he let out an exhale. "Even though neither Luna nor I was fond of your secretary, I know that Luna would never kill someone. I'm sure you know this better than I do."Besides, I heard from the police just now that they found a fingerprint on the murder weapon, but it didn't belong to Luna."There was no security camera on the balcony, and the only evidence they have is the witness statement from the security guards."Jim let out another exhale before continuing, "Luna has just been appointed as the new CEO of Landry Group tonight, and she is now at the height of attention here in Merchant City, so we cannot let her go to jail."Those security guards' witness statements cannot prove that Luna was indeed the murderer."When Cheryl's parents arrive tomorrow, I hope that you, as Cheryl's bo
Joshua's car peeled off into the distance.Charles was so angry that he could not stop patting his chest in frustration as he watched the black Masevati disappear into the distance.It turned out that Joshua Lynch was just as cruel as his late grandmother.Luna was the woman that had loved him for many years and had borne four children for him, even though one had died at birth.Truth be told, even as Luna's family, they had to admit that they did not know Luna as well as Joshua did, but at this point, not only was he unwilling to help clear Luna's name, he had even threatened to let her stay in jail because of her recent appointment as CEO!"Father." Jim immediately rushed over to gently pat Charles' back. "Don't be so upset; we can think of another plan."Charles gazed up at the sky and replied, "It's now midnight, and there are only a few hours left until morning comes."The person who died was Joshua's employee, so how can we get Luna out of jail before daylight comes withou
Granny Quinn took a sip from her tea, sneering. "I knew the two of you would be useless!"She let out a scoff and continued, "Fortunately, I had been preparing for this day since a long time ago, and if I had relied on just the two of you, the Quinn family would have gone bankrupt by now!"The Quinn family had already gone broke after their supply chain was attacked by Lynch Group, but in the end, Granny Quinn had placed all of her personal savings into Quinn Group's funds and had successfully saved Quinn Group from going bankrupt.Granny Quinn let out an exhale and tossed a piece of paper in front of Malcolm and Heather. "Sign this."Malcolm picked up the paper, trembling.Just one glance at the paper was enough to make him almost faint.This paper was a contract denouncing that he would resign his position as the CEO of Quinn Group and leave the Quinn family with his wife and child!"Granny…" Malcolm bit his lip, and his form trembled like a leaf. "I had just committed a small
The next morning, Lucas drove all the way to Cheryl's hometown to bring her parents to Merchant City.The two elders were excited to be picked up by the personal assistant of Joshua Lynch, CEO of Lynch Group. "Assistant Lucas, a few days ago, Sherry told us that she and President Lynch were growing closer and closer…is that true?"You must be busy, working as President Lynch's assistant, too, aren't you? Is Sherry the first person President Lynch has ever sent his assistant to pick up her family before?"What is she doing right now? Why isn't she picking up her phone?"Why did President Lynch send you to bring us to Merchant City? What's going on?"…Cheryl's parents kept asking Lucas questions left and right.Lucas could not bear to deliver the bad news himself to the two elders who took so much pride in their daughter.He had no choice but to give them vague answers as he stepped on the gas.Soon, the car arrived at the police station.When Lucas asked them to get out of th
Jim strode into the lobby and frowned, glancing at the hallway as he signed the visitation forms to visit Luna. "Why are they crying so early in the morning?"The policeman let out a sigh and replied in a low voice, "They're the family members of the murder victim which your sister is involved in, and they just got in this morning."I hear that she was the only child and had always been the pride of the family. Both her parents are old now and no longer in the best health. Who would've thought that…"The policeman sighed again. "What a pity."Jim's hand, which was holding the pen, stiffened when he heard this.A split second later, he, too, let out a sigh and continued filling in the form.When he finally finished, both of Cheryl's parents had stopped crying.When Jim left the room, he bumped into Joshua, bringing Cheryl's parents to meet with the chief officer in charge of their cases.The two elders had to be propped up by Joshua and Lucas as they walked.Cheryl's father was
Seeing the glimmer in Luna's eyes disappear, Jim sighed, took out a contract from his pocket, and placed it in front of Luna. "I didn't manage to sleep even a wink last night. After settling everything here, I returned to Landry Group to familiarize myself with everything that has happened and how the company's situation is now."He lifted his head to stare at Luna. "The situation is far more complicated than I had expected."Heather was a total idiot. Under Malcolm's influence, she had tied all of Landry Group's supply chains together with Quinn Group's to double their profits, but this also meant that if one of us were to go bankrupt, the other would go down with them."I'm sure you must still remember what happened to Quinn Group last night."Jim pushed the contract closer to Luna and said, "Because of this, Landry Group is on the verge of bankruptcy as well. I have to first help both Landry and Quinn Group tide over this before I can untie both of the corporation's bonds."The
Joshua curled his lips into a smirk. "What a change of heart."Over the past year, every time Joshua and Luna met, whether at Tea Cottage or Luna's current residence, Joshua had approached her first.However, since she was in jail, she was the one initiating their meeting instead."There's no change of heart." Jim glanced impassively at the elderly couple behind Joshua. "It's natural that Luna would want to see you, considering you were the one who persuaded Cheryl's parents into framing her for murder."Jim had deliberately lowered his voice when he said this, but to his surprise, both of Cheryl's parents still overheard this.Mrs. Martin widened her eyes in shock when she heard this. She immediately stormed over to Jim, dragging Mr. Martin behind her, and yelled, "What on earth are you talking about? How dare you say we're framing Luna?"She pointed at the surveillance footage on the police officer's screen and said, sobbing, "Everything has been recorded through security foota
Joshua did not expect Jim to toss the question over to him.He narrowed his eyes and said impassively, "I believe only the results of the police's investigation."Jim sneered as he wiped away the blood trickling out of the corner of his lips. "I know that too, but I'm asking you that as Luna's ex-wife, the father of Luna's four children, do you, Joshua Lynch, think that Luna could have killed Cheryl, the woman that posed no threat to her at all whether relationship or career-wise?""What do you mean, she posed no threat to Luna's relationship or career-wise?" Cheryl's parents could not believe this at all.Mrs. Martin tried to release herself from Joshua's grip as she glared at Jim. "Luna clearly killed Cheryl because she didn't think she'd be able to compete against her when trying to win President Lynch's heart! How dare you even say she posed no threat to Luna? You're talking nonsense!"Seeing that Mrs. Martin was about to be freed of Joshua's grasp and lunge toward Jim, two po
