"However, you have no right to impinge upon my freedom."With that, he strode over to the nearest police officer and said, "Give me a visitation form."Mr. and Mrs. Martin exchanged a glance, and a hint of displeasure flashed through their eyes.Their daughter had died because she had attended a wedding with Joshua Lynch. However, this man had no intention of bearing the responsibility of this and even stopped them from beating up a member of the murderer's family!Regardless, they knew that they did not have the right or ability to fight with Joshua on this.Therefore, the elderly couple could not do anything apart from watching quietly as Joshua disappeared into the visitation room after filling in the form."Sir, Madam." One of the police officers approached them, smiling. "As for the dead body, if you have successfully identified it as your daughter, you'd better bring the body for cremation as soon as possible. Now that it's about to turn summer soon, the police station can'
Joshua's words were just as cold as his tone.Luna furrowed her brows as she stared at the man before her.All of a sudden, she realized that she did not understand this man as well as she thought.She had always thought he loved and cared about her.Even when Jim told her what he had said, she still thought that Jim was exaggerating and that Joshua could not possibly be unaware of how bad the living conditions in prison were.If he cared about her, he would not subject her to such suffering.However, what Joshua had said felt like a slap to Luna's face.He had said that he would rather she be imprisoned than stand against him.Luna bit her lip and lifted her head to stare at Joshua, not knowing whether to laugh or cry about this. "Joshua, do you think that your vengeance toward the Landry family is more important to me?"Joshua narrowed his eyes and stared at her, smiling. "What do you think? Luna—"He stared at her with a solemn expression. "I had been planning my defeat of
With that, Joshua leaned against the back of his seat elegantly and said, "Don't worry, your time in prison won't be that awful."I'll never let what happened in that mental asylum in Banyan City happen again; I've already asked Luke to find you a few female security guards. Today and tomorrow, they'll be sent into prison under different charges and protect you every single second of the day."Luna could not help feeling suffocated when she heard this.Firstly, this man had sent her into prison under charges of first-degree murder.Secondly, he had arranged for a few female inmates to be sent into prison and look after her.What difference was this from imprisoning her himself?The only difference was that what he was doing was legal.As soon as she thought of this, Luna sneered and stared at Joshua's face coldly. "I'm starting to think that you sent someone to kill Cheryl yourself so that you could send me into jail."The entire room fell silent.Amid the dead silence, Joshua
Lucas was confused to hear this.Joshua had been saying the same thing for the whole day, whether to Cheryl's parents, Jim, or even the police.He had claimed that if Luna refused to return to Banyan City with him, he would let Luna be imprisoned forever.He would not let her out or give her even a small taste of freedom until the Landry and Quinn families were destroyed.All of a sudden, Joshua was saying that he would not let Luna be imprisoned indefinitely for his benefit.Glancing at Lucas' puzzled look, Joshua narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Luna is just one of the suspects in this murder."Even the security guards who witnessed this only saw Cheryl choking Luna before she died, demanding to know why she wanted to kill her, none of them saw Luna assaulting her. She merely struggled, and she didn't even fight back."On top of that, the cops have found a fingerprint that didn't belong to Luna on the murder weapon. Because of this, everyone knows that there is ano
"There's no need," Joshua interjected Lucas curtly. "The Quinn family also has a few spies among the cops."If Lucas were to tell Luna the truth, the change in Luna's attitude toward him would surely give them away, even if no one was eavesdropping on their conversation.Glancing at Joshua once more, Lucas let out a sigh but did not say another word.Soon, the car arrived at Lynch Tower.As soon as Joshua and Lucas got out of the elevator, they came face-to-face with Theo and Gwen, waiting outside his office.Seeing that Joshua had returned, Gwen immediately stormed forward and glared at him. "I hear that you were the one who convinced Cheryl's parents to keep Luna imprisoned, weren't you?"She gritted her teeth as she continued to glare at him. "Don't you know what kind of person Luna is and whether she can possibly kill someone or not? How dare you do this to her!"Joshua glanced impassively at Gwen and curled his lips into a smirk. "How dare you talk about this with me?"Whe
"Something terrible has happened, Vice President Landry!"At Landry Group Tower, Jim had just finished gathering his notes of the Landry Group and Quinn Group's merge and was pondering how to solve this predicament when his secretary stormed into the room. "Something bad has happened!"Jim furrowed his brows. "What's wrong? Why are you so anxious?"His train of thought had been utterly interrupted.The secretary said, panting, "Um… Someone has shown up with a banner at our building entrance right now to cause trouble!"They're claiming that the CEO of Landry Group, Luna, had killed their daughter, and they have many reporters with them!"They even said if Landry Group doesn't give them any compensation for their loss, they'll bring their daughter's corpse over to let everyone know the truth about us…"With that, the secretary quickly took out his phone and handed it to Jim. "Look, the whole ordeal is going live on the internet right now!"Jim quickly stood up and took the phone
"You've both been kicked out of your families?""That's right." Malcolm did not even get the chance to continue when he heard Jim slamming the phone down without a hint of hesitation.On the other end of the line, Malcolm closed his eyes helplessly when he heard the dial tone."How did it go?" Heather, who was holding Riley in her arms, approached him. "What did Jim say?"Malcolm shot her a cold glance and tossed the phone onto the ground with a thud. "He's not willing."Jim's attitude was enough to prove everything.The phone landed on the ground with a loud thud that startled Riley, who burst into tears. Heather furrowed her brows and gritted her teeth as she tried in frustration to shake the baby to sleep. "Shut up!"We shouldn't have stolen this baby! Now, we're broke and can only live in this rented house, yet we still have to take care of this one-month-old baby!"Heather wanted nothing more than to choke this baby to death right this instant.Malcolm glanced at her, fro
Landry Group.Because Granny Quinn had already retired for many years, Jim had to go through much effort to obtain Granny Quinn's number.By the time he managed to get in touch with her, the reporters and spectators outside the building had already been chased off.The only people that remained were the actors from the PR firm, who were protesting alongside Cheryl's parents.Jim narrowed his eyes and dialed Granny Quinn's number as he watched the people from the security cameras. "Hello, Granny Quinn."He let out an exhale and continued, "I want to ask you something; does the PR firm under Quinn Group take every job offer that comes its way?"On the other end of the line, Granny Quinn leaned against the sofa and took a puff of her cigar as she said lazily, "Why would you say this, Master Landry?"Jim let out a sneer. "According to my investigation, the people causing trouble at my office doorstep all belong to a PR firm under Quinn Group."Now that everyone in Merchant City kno
