"Well, how much money do we have now? Is it enough to prevent this man from acquiring the remaining shares?"The vice president shook his head. "We can't do that because…"He paused for a moment before continuing, "I understand that when Ms. Luna infused her money into reviving Landry Group, you had allocated some funds into a backup account for emergencies like this, but on the day you fell unconscious, Ms. Charlotte withdrew the rest of this money under your name."Jim immediately lifted his head to stare at the vice president in surprise. "Charlotte withdrew my money?"The vice president nodded. "Yes. However, Ms. Charlotte didn't use this money elsewhere and instead had infused it into Landry Group's financial planning."Because of this, we were successfully able to unbind ourselves from Quinn Group as soon as possible and prevent further losses."Jim slumped back into his chair in defeat and rubbed his brows in frustration. There was a hint of tiredness in his tone as he sai
"What's wrong?" Jim furrowed his brows as he pulled a shuddering Charlotte into his arms. He stared at her with a look of concern and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?""No, no." Charlotte immediately came to and gave him a somewhat awkward smile. "I…I was just afraid after hearing how powerful this Luke Jones is. I can't believe that he had even killed such a merciless man as Todd."I wonder what his intentions are for accompanying Luna to see us today."Charlotte then bit her lip and leaned against Jim's shoulder, her voice quivering and laced with fear, "Jim… Surely we haven't been treating Luna so badly that she'd bring such a terrifying man with her to see us?"Did she somehow get it into her brain that we're trying to con her, or is she trying to threaten us?"Jim narrowed his eyes when he heard this.He and Charlotte called for this meeting with Luna to discuss the reallocation of her shares of Landry Group.After all, everyone, including employees of Landry Group and the g
Charlotte had yet to finish her sentence when Jim's phone rang all of a sudden.He picked up the call, frowning.Joshua's low voice, laced with a hint of a smile, rang out from the other end of the line, "Hello, Mr. Landry. This must be the first thing we ever talked on the phone ever since you lost your memories."Jim narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Yes, this is the first time we've ever talked on the phone, but even before this, I've already gotten to know you very well, Mr. Lynch."There was a trace of hatred in Jim's voice.Joshua could not help chuckling when he heard this. "I can tell from your voice that you hate me very much right now, Mr. Landry. Well, don't worry, because I'm not going to waste much of your precious time."He let out an exhale and continued impassively, "I can tell you very clearly that even though she agreed to meet with you at Landry Mansion, Luna will not give in to your terms and hand over her shares of Landry Group."As soon as she heard this, Cha
Jim's entire body broke out in cold sweats as soon as he heard Joshua's threat.Joshua's voice sounded extremely arrogant, so much so that it terrified Jim.Jim could not remember, even in his brief memories, anyone having ever spoken to him like this.It was bad enough that Joshua dared to threaten him like this, but he had the capabilities of making these threats come true, too.These days, the first thing Jim did after losing his memory was getting an understanding of the Landry Group's latest developments, then investigating Lynch Group.Joshua Lynch was indeed the business prodigy everyone thought he was.Jim, too, could not help but notice that during the past year that Joshua had arrived in Merchant City, he had plenty of opportunities of defeating Landry Group once and for all.However, he chose not to do so.For the past year, Joshua had been focusing his energy on attacking the more powerful and more power-hungry Quinn family.As for the Landry family, all the attack
'I love her so deeply and so much that I will help her do anything she wants.''Loving someone means that you will do anything in your power to make her happy, even if it means making yourself suffer.'Jim closed his eyes and could not help sneering when he thought of this.He could not believe that something as mundane as love and romance would one day become the weakness of Joshua Lynch, business prodigy.Fortunately, Jim was a heartless person and loved only himself.His being with Charlotte was just a fulfillment of his childhood promise to her.That was not to say that he had never been in love with Charlotte before. He had, in the past.However, for some reason, when he saw Charlotte after losing his memories for the first time in six years, he could not seem to summon his passion for her anymore.At this point, his feelings toward Charlotte were more toward fulfilling a responsibility rather than actually loving her.Jim thought that this was a good state to be in, sinc
Jim's expression darkened as he clutched Charlotte's bra in his hand.As though trying to prove himself wrong, he rummaged through the dirty laundry once more, but he did not manage to find anything else unusual.He furrowed his brows and let out a bitter chuckle.Surely he must have imagined things?Charlotte was loyal to him, and since young, the two of them had promised each other that they would be together forever.Even after she was chased out of Merchant City, she had sought him out the moment she returned.How could he even doubt her?As soon as he thought of this, Jim let out an exhale, turned to find his laundry basket, and managed to find the coat he had been wearing that morning.Inside the pocket was the piece of paper that Bonnie had given him that morning, but…Jim also found another piece of paper in the pocket on the other side.He had no idea where this paper came from and guessed that someone had probably slipped it into his pocket without him knowing.Jim
After he came out of the laundry room, Jim returned to his study.He sat in his chair and unfolded the piece of paper Bonnie had given him. Then, he wrote down all the alleged timings and venues in which he and Bonnie had been and ordered his assistant to investigate the validity of these claims.Jim was just about to throw the paper into the trash can when he caught sight of some writing on the back.Bonnie had torn this paper out of a page in her medical records and written on the blank side, whereas the other side was scribbled with a doctor's handwriting.[A laceration was noted on the right side of the abdomen, and the patient claims that she acquired this injury after falling on the side of the pavement during a rain.[The laceration is deep, and even though it had previously been sutured, it has gotten infected and is now collecting pus. It is recommended to do wound dressing every day to keep the wound clean and dry to prevent reinfection.]Jim furrowed his brows when he
Seeing the look of Charlotte's voice, Jim furrowed his brows and curled his lips into a smile.Then, he gently removed Charlotte's hand from his and said, "Nothing, I was just asking."I received a note today which says that Charlotte belongs to him. The note was put into my coat pocket that I wore to the hospital this morning."With that, he glanced at Charlotte and said, "Someone at the hospital must've pulled this prank on me. I'll ask someone to get to the bottom of this."Then, he turned and strode away.Behind him, Charlotte's face turned from red to white. She bit her lip and clenched her fists.That Dr. Randy must have been the one who slipped the note into Jim's pocket!What an ungrateful bastard!She had already taken ten minutes out of her time to satisfy him in his office this morning, but he was still hungry for more!Did he think she was going to choose an old man like him over someone as handsome and successful as Jim? Who did he think he was?Did he think she
