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
With that, Hunter let out an exhale and fixed his gaze on Joshua. "If my guesses are correct, I'm probably going to be sentenced to death."Therefore, I no longer have anything to hold onto, so I want to tell you about some things that happened between the Landry and Lynch families a long time ago."Joshua furrowed his brows. "You're a Quinn, and you weren't even born yet when all of that happened, so how would you know of all this?"What happened between the Landry and Lynch families in the past had nothing to do with the Quinn family. On top of that, this had all happened many years ago, and not even Joshua had a clear picture of what happened, so how could Hunter possibly know?"The truth is, I do know." Hunter let out an exhale and continued, "If my guesses are correct, a man named Quentin will appear by my grandmother's side in a few days, and this was the man that had helped Granny commit all her heinous crimes in the past."He narrowed his eyes, staring at Joshua, but his g
This blood-curdling scream tore Luna out of her thoughts.She lifted her head to stare at the room which the screams had come from, her gaze full of doubt and confusion. "Is that…Father?"She refused to accept or believe this.Charles was in his late fifties and was about to turn sixty soon, but this scream…Jim let out a sigh and glanced at Luna, smiling bitterly."He has relapsed, and this is what he had become ever since he ran out of the medication that Mother had made for him."With that, Jim let out an exhale and pushed open the door.Inside the room, Charles was sitting in a corner, dressed in a striped patient's gown and clutching his blanket in his arms. "Rosalyn, Rosalyn, I'm going to bring you home now. I'm going to bring you home now…"Don't be scared; we're going home right now!"Get away from me! Don't you dare touch my Rosalyn!"…Luna stared at the scene before her in shock and could not help feeling like crying all of a sudden.She did not expect that…this
When Luna came out of the hospital, Charlotte was still waiting in the car.Luna let out an exhale as she opened the door and got into the passenger seat. "Where are we going now?""Back to your place so you can pack your bags," Charlotte replied impassively as she typed on her laptop. "Since you're now the new CEO of Landry Group, you shouldn't be staying in a house on the outskirts of the city anymore."Luna fell silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.Charlotte was right. From this day onward, she would have plenty of things to take care of for Landry Group, and it would be inconvenient to continue staying outside the city.However, to Luna's surprise, when she reached her house, a few excavators were parked outside the gate, along with groups of construction workers.Luna stared at these gigantic machines and the workers, frowning. "What is…""Now that you have acquired a new and nobler status, you left too many traces of you living here in the past," Charlotte explai
The news of Luna demolishing her house to prove her determination to return to Landry Group shocked the citizens of Merchant City.This news that was plastered all over various media outlets improved the morale of the employees of Landry Group. Everyone thought that since Luna was brave enough to make this decision, she would be able to guide Landry Group through the challenges they were facing."Who taught you this? It's having quite an impressive effect on morale," Jim said, a small smile playing on his lips, as he stared at Luna when the two of them met up inside the president's office of Landry Group Tower.Meanwhile, on the sofa, Luna was texting on her phone with Charlotte as she replied, smiling, "I have a friend who's very well versed in entrepreneurship helping me."Jim curled his lips into a smirk. "Where did you meet this person? Care to introduce me to this person?"Luna shrugged. "Well, I'll introduce her to you when the timing is right."Previously, she had also wan
At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."They thus hugged once more. Minutes later…"He's gone," said Stefan.Tears kept falling.They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face. He had tears on his face as well.She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?
The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun
It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,
Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor
When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie
Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil
This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call
Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being
Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
