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
"Joshua Lynch has already contacted me."Luna, even if you're trying desperately to prove how important you are, you don't have to do it like this."There was not even a hint of emotion in Jim's frosty voice as he continued, "Even though your method of getting Joshua to attack Landry Group will defeat me and make me think twice about hurting you, you have to remember that you own a part of Landry Group, too."Therefore, no matter how much financial loss has been incurred onto our company as a result of Joshua's attacks, you're suffering the same loss, too!"Luna could not help curling her lips into a smirk when she heard this. "Unfortunately, Mr. Landry, if I hadn't asked Joshua for help, the person stuck in this terrible situation would be me by now."I'm fine with losing a little bit of money right now. After all, if I don't let this happen now, then I probably will be losing all of my shares and profits of the Landry Group instead."This little bit of financial loss is still a
Everyone was shocked to hear Luna's answer.Even Joshua, who was on the other end of the line, was rendered utterly speechless.A split second later, he let out a bitter chuckle and asked, "Is this really what you want?""Yes." Luna let out an exhale and lifted her head to meet Jim and Charlotte's delighted gazes. "This is what I want."She was telling this to both Joshua and Jim."Since everyone is so against me running the company as CEO, I'll choose to step down from this position. I'm sure everyone knows I'm not capable of running this company at all."It's just that Father loved me so much that he was willing to hand over such a large-scale family business to me, but now, it's time I return what was rightfully Jim's to him. Nonetheless…"She lifted her head to stare coldly at Jim and Charlotte. "Mr. Landry has previously promised me that he'd let me manage a small jewelry design company under Landry Group, and I hope you'll stick to your word, Mr. Landry."At the same time
Jim had never spoken about her, Bonnie so endearingly as he had addressed Charlotte.There had even been a few times when Bonnie had wanted him to call her by a pet name like 'darling' or 'honey' in private, but he would always refuse, much less put his arm around her and address her so adoringly in public.In the past, Jim would always insist that since Bonnie was the heiress to the Craig fortune and he was the heir to the Landry fortune, the public would go crazy if news of their relationship were leaked.If that happened, it would cause such unrest that they would not be able to enjoy their time together without being followed all the time anymore.Therefore, to prevent this from happening, their relationship had been a secret one, hidden away from all prying eyes.Bonnie used to think that Jim was naturally a cautious person like this, and thus, she had never doubted Jim's motives or gotten upset at him for such requests.At this moment, alas, she finally understood that she
