Heather snickered. "Do you think that after I'm temporarily kicked out of the Landry family, you'll be able to make Jim take you back by sucking up to the new heiress of the Landry family?"Charlotte, you should go look at yourself in the mirror. Anyone who looks at you will be terrified at a single glance, so how dare you even think Jim would still like you?"Oh, by the way—" Heather suddenly inched closer to Charlotte's ear, grinning as though she had suddenly recalled something. "You probably don't know this, but Jim has a new girlfriend now, and she even bore him a daughter not too long ago."Heather continued in a low voice filled with contempt as she stared at Charlotte's face, "Jim's current girlfriend is Luna's best friend, and Luna was the one who had introduced them."A glimmer of malice shot through Charlotte's eyes when she heard this.Heather patted her shoulder with a small smile and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't have returned to embarrass myself. You claim to lov
After hanging up the call with the chief of police, Joshua closed his eyes in exhaustion.He never expected that the case would be cracked so quickly.Even though the police had already started to investigate Hunter as the prime suspect in this murder, they still could not confirm whether he was the culprit or not just based on a fingerprint.Because the police did not want to inadvertently alert him to this, they had been investigating this in secret.Joshua thought that because of this, Luna would have to be stuck in jail for at least another week, and during this time, Jim would have managed to take care of most of the Landry Group's affairs. Therefore, she would not have to deal with these things, nor would she have to settle them herself, and instead, she could take over as CEO easily.However…Joshua rubbed his brows in frustration.Sensing Joshua's mood, Lucas quickly called off the meeting and dismissed the employees.After everyone had left, he gently closed the meetin
Hunter bit his lip, hesitating. However, the sound of the sirens appeared to be getting closer and closer, as though the police had already arrived at the hospital entrance.Because of this, Hunter had no choice but to follow these two men.The two men brought him into the toilet, where they changed into janitor's uniforms and instructed him to squat inside a gigantic trash can. Then, they piled some garbage over him, put the lid on, and wheeled him out of the toilet.Inside the trash can, Hunter cocked his head, listening for sounds outside as he inhaled the stench of rotting garbage.After a few moments, he heard the sound of uniform footsteps, along with the voices of the police officers. "We've received a tip that Hunter Quinn is inside this hospital right now, and he probably hasn't left yet. We'll go ahead with plan A: Jackie, you'll knock on the door later and…"The sound of these police officers' voices made Hunter break out in cold sweat.Soon, the two men dressed as jan
"Mr. Hunter Quinn, you are now under arrest for being involved in a homicide." Outside the door, the police officer flashed his badge at Hunter coldly.Hunter's entire body stiffened.How could this be?They had already managed to lose the police cars chasing after them, and the men had even brought him to a hiding place, so how could the police have found him so quickly?This place was so secluded that even if the police had known he was here, they would still need some time to locate which house he was in.The officer seemed to see right through Hunter's confusion, and he chuckled as he explained, "Just now, someone caught sight of you entering the basement, and we only realized it was you when we checked the surveillance cameras after receiving a call about this."With that, the police officer snapped the handcuffs around Hunter's wrists. "Come on."Hunter bit his lip, and as he was brought away by the police officer, he even bumped into the two men who had saved him at the e
Officer Wilson was so frustrated by this that he started tossing the paperwork all over his office in anger.He knew that Hunter was still waiting for Granny Quinn to save him from this predicament, but the reality was…From the moment he was captured, no one from the Quinn family had taken notice of him at all.On top of that, when the reporters interview the Quinn family's butler about this, the butler told them that Hunter had lost contact with the Quinn family for a long time, and they had no idea what he had been up to during this time.However, Hunter was spotted entering and coming out of Quinn Mansion just a day before his arrest.As soon as he thought of this, Officer Wilson could not help pitying Hunter.He let out a sigh and instructed one of his men to call Granny Quinn and get her to come down to the police station to visit Hunter."I'm not going to see that piece of sh*t," remarked Granny Quinn, sneering, when she heard the message that was passed on by the family
To Hunter's disappointment, Granny Quinn did not come to see him at all.Instead, the person sitting in front of him was a sneering Malcolm."You, too, have become a useless pawn," Malcolm said, cackling. "Granny gave me money yesterday, and in exchange, I will have to come to visit you today, so I guess you know what that means, right?"I can't believe that yesterday, I had even told you that you'd one day become the successor of the Quinn family. What a surprise!"Hunter stared at Malcolm with an expression so cold that it was as though he would kill him at any moment.Feeling the hatred in Hunter's gaze, Malcolm let out an exhale and shifted into a comfortable position in his chair. "I know why you asked Granny for help: You want her to help you get out of this predicament, don't you?"However, since she has told me to come in her stead without any further instructions, I'm guessing she has no intention of getting you out of here."However, if you beg me, I might be able to h
"I know there's no way I can get out of this now, and I'm willing to admit to everything right now, but first, I want you to contact Joshua Lynch. I need to see him."…"Sir."10 a.m.Lucas immediately rushed toward Joshua after he finished up the meeting that had been interrupted the day before. "Officer Wilson called just now saying that Hunter has admitted to killing Cheryl, but…he wants to see you."Joshua, who was tidying his notes, froze when he heard this.Hunter wanted to see him?He did not remember ever having anything to do with this man at all.However, this was the person who had killed Cheryl, and if he wanted to meet up, Joshua had no reason to refuse.Joshua put down the papers he was in the middle of tidying, adjusted his collar, and headed straight to the police station.When Joshua's black Masevati pulled to a halt in front of the police station, Luna and Charlotte were coming out of it, in the middle of a conversation about Landry Group.Luna was a little
Charlotte's words were like a rude awakening.Sitting in the car, Luna felt the cold seep right into her bones even though it was June.Joshua…had helped Hunter escape so that he could prolong her release?Did he know what kind of person Hunter was?This was the dirtiest, most revolting man among the Quinn family, the one who had the most blood on his hands!Malcolm always used deceit and trickery to obtain his goals, but Hunter was different.He committed all the killings and crimes that the Quinn family needed to do.This was a man who would not hesitate to kill someone, and his hands were stained with the blood of many people who lost their lives to the Quinn family.How could Joshua help someone like this?On top of that…the person Hunter had killed this time…was Cheryl, the woman who had worked alongside Joshua and treated him well for more than six months.The first few times when Luna bumped into Cheryl at Joshua's place, she was always there to deliver food to him or
