Both Luna and Jim lifted their heads at the same time upon hearing Joshua's remark.They stared at him with questioning looks. "Do you know who he is?""Yes." Joshua smiled and pressed the 'play' button on the video displayed on his phone.It was a video of Granny Quinn from the same morning when she had announced the identity of the future heir to the Quinn family.Inside the video, Granny Quinn had described the dilemma the Quinn family was facing at the moment without any hesitation.Malcolm, the eldest son of the Quinn family, had chosen to leave the family and live with Heather on their own.Hunter, on the other hand, was arrested for certain reasons and would likely not be able to get out of jail anytime soon.Therefore, none of them would be able to take over as the new heir to the Quinn family.Because of this, Granny Quinn had announced a new addition to the family named Quentin Simms, her godson.Inside the video, Granny Quinn was beaming from ear to ear as she grasp
"Nothing." Jim's expression was so cold it was as though he would kill someone at any moment. "I'm sorry for disturbing the two of you; go back to bed!"With that, he slammed the phone down.Luna furrowed her brows, and just as she was about to ask him what had happened, Jim stood up and said, "I'm going out for a walk."With that, he left the room, slamming the door behind him.Luna glanced at the door with a blank look, her mind full of questions.Was he not about to ask Christopher if he knew anything about Quentin? Why did he…"He's upset about something." As a fellow man, Joshua could tell what had happened just by Jim's attitude and body language. He furrowed his brows and said, "Why don't you ask Bonnie who she was with last night?"Luna froze for a moment, then came to a realization. "So Bonnie was the one who picked up the phone just now?"The fact that Christopher's phone was with Bonnie so early in the morning meant that they had spent the night together.Luna rubbe
Luna swallowed the words she had been wanting to say when she heard this.She gripped her phone in shock and asked, "How is this possible?"Even though she had been intoxicated the night before, she still remembered she had offended Mr. Hanson.On top of that, she was the uninvited guest at his party, whereas Joshua was the VIP, so according to this, he would have been more willing to conduct his business with Joshua.All of sudden, Charlotte was saying that…not only had Mr. Hanson agreed to do business with them, but they were even signing the contract that afternoon?Luna bit her lip and gripped her phone tightly. "How could Mr. Hanson have…agreed to this?""Of course, it wasn't for no reason." Charlotte let out a chuckle and said, "I worked on this for the entire night, you know. I'll tell you about the specifics after you finish signing the contract."The point is, you were the one that made this happen, and after signing the contract, the employees of Landry Group will resp
"Yes, she did." Jim shot Luna another meaningful look. "She's been through a lot in her life, and I pity her for that."Luna's heart lurched when she heard the endearing tone in Jim's voice.It seemed that Jim truly loved Shelly's mother.Both Charles and Rosalyn had told her that Jim was a simple-minded and loyal man when it came to relationships, but Luna disagreed.Charlotte, Harvey's birth mother, Shelly's birth mother, and finally Bonnie…She had already known of four women Jim had been involved with, so how could anyone say he was loyal in his relationships?Luna bit her lip and asked in a low voice, "Do you like Bonnie or Shelly's mother more?"Jim chuckled. "Of course I like…"Before he could finish his sentence, he stopped in his tracks and turned to glance at Luna.The expression on her face made his heart leap into his throat.He suddenly realized that Luna seemed to have misunderstood, but he could not possibly tell her the truth for the time being, so he let out
Luna's entire body froze when she heard this, as though she had been struck by lightning.How could this…Seeing that Luna was a little dubious, Theo quickly played the recording of the phone call with Gwen."Please help me!" Gwen's weak voice rang out from the other end of the line as soon as he pressed play. "Theo, please save me… I think I might die soon…"Luke knew that I wasn't feeling well yesterday, and even after seeing me bleed, he didn't stop at all and instead left after tossing me two anti-bleeding tablets…"I have no way of communicating with the outside world. I only managed to call you after the chef took pity on me and lent me her phone for a few minutes…"I'm going to die soon… The guards said that without Luke's orders, they weren't allowed to release me, even if I'm about to die soon, and now they can't get in touch with him at all…"Suddenly, a man's voice rang out, "Ms. Larson, you're not allowed to communicate with the outside world. Hand me the phone right
Luna bit her lip and, for a split second, did not know how to answer.In the past, Joshua was her lover, the father of her children.She did not need a reason to ask him for help, nor did she have to answer to "Why should I."Alas, their relationship was no longer the same as before.Joshua was the mortal enemy of the Landry family, and she was the heiress of the Landry family.He was the CEO of Lynch Group, and she was the CEO of Landry Group.The two of them had become members of opposing teams; they were rivals.It was already a miracle that the two of them did not fight as soon as they laid eyes on each other, but at this moment, Luna was asking him to help her.Why should he?Why should he help his mortal enemy?He was a businessman, and he would not do something unless it brought him benefits.However, to save Gwen, they had to race against time.Luna bit her lip and lifted her head to stare at Joshua. "Because I slept with you last night. Is that a good enough reason
"Alright, I'll ask her now."With that, Joshua hung up the phone.He glanced coldly at the three gobsmacked people before him as a sneer played on his lips.He had already sent Lucas to save Gwen when he overheard the recording Theo had played for Luna.Lucas was familiar with all of Luke's hideouts in Merchant City.Joshua had only asked Luna for something in return to mess with her, but he did not expect that she would use her body as leverage to negotiate with him.What did she think of herself?What kind of person did she think he was?"I'll go find Dr. Liddell." Jim was the first one to snap out of his stupor.He let out an exhale and scurried away.Luna stared dazedly at the man standing before her.She never thought that Joshua would have…sent his men to save Gwen even before she asked him for help.Did this mean that…he had been eavesdropping on their conversation all this while?She bit her lip and clenched her fists.Compared to Joshua's attitude, her behavior w
"Nothing happened?"Luna seemed to recall someone at the dinner party saying that she had to have sex with someone to counter the drug's effects.If Joshua had not slept with her, then why was she awake?Not only that, but how would Theo know if anything happened between them at all?Theo gulped when he saw the confusion in Luna's eyes.After all, this was the woman he used to love, so it was extremely difficult for him to expose Luna like this.After all, Luna had just claimed that she and Joshua had slept together and was even using this to negotiate with him, but at this moment, he had to tell Luna she was wrong right to her face.However…The truth could not be changed.Theo let out an exhale and explained, "I've been staying at Joshua's place ever since I moved out from your house."Because of this, I was there when he brought you home last night, and I witnessed everything that happened."Luna's entire body froze when she heard this. "When you said you were staying wit
