“The reason why Luna had been released from jail so quickly was Charlotte’s doing too.
“She’s just using Luna to get what she wants, and as for her ultimate goal, I’m sure you have a better
idea than I do.” Jim gripped his phone tightly.
Many years ago, he was utterly disappointed in Charlotte’s actions, but at the same time, he was the
closest person to her and was even engaged to her at that time.
Because of this, he could not bring himself to break his promise to her and was stuck in a dilemma.
Finally, it was Charles who had stood up for him and exposed Charlotte’s lies, and even sent Heather
to chase Charlotte out of Merchant City.
However, at this moment, Charlotte had returned as soon as Heather was kicked out of the family.
It was clear what she wanted.
Charlotte had thought that as long as Heather was out of the picture, Jim would forgive her and get back
together with her after she helped the Landry family through their rough patch.
“Jim, you and Father are both gentlemen and refuse to bully a woman. I knew that six years ago, so I
think it’s best that you let me take care of Charlotte this time too.” Heather sneered and added, “After all,
you wouldn’t want to see her tricking your sister, do you?
“I believe that what happened with Mr. Hanson is just an appetizer. She hasn’t even started on her real
plans yet, so are you willing to let her use Luna?
“If you give me five hundred million dollars, I can help you.”
Jim snickered when he heard this. “Five hundred million dollars? Are you insane?”
Heather curled her lips into a smirk and retorted, “Don’t you think your sister’s reputation and innocence
is worth five hundred million? Who else would have the time to follow them every day and take care of
Charlotte for you, apart from me?”
Jim curled his lips into a smirk. “Well, I can choose to tell Luna about this and save myself five hundred
million.”
With that, he hung up the phone.
Heather bit her lip when she heard the dial tone.
This man! Jim had never been willing to talk about what had happened six years ago, but all of a sudden,
h e was willing to tell Luna the truth just to save money!
Heather slammed her phone onto the ground, angered that an initially foolproof plan to earn money had
been foiled just like that. She turned to glare at Malcolm, who was playing with Riley next to her, and
snapped, “If it were up to me, I would’ve revealed Riley’s true identity and let Luna and Joshua take her
in exchange for money!”
The two of them had been kicked out of their families for a few days, and they were about to run out of
money!
Malcolm had initially been trying to threaten Hunter for money, but after Hunter was arrested, their plan
had failed.
She could not believe that they were about to run out of cash soon, yet this man did not seem bothered
by it and was instead playing with their baby!
Malcolm shot her a cold glance and smirked. “I knew from the start that Jim wouldn’t agree to your terms.
However, it’s still too early to bring out Riley.”
With that, he smirked at Heather and added, “Since Jim isn’t willing to pay up, we should contact
Charlotte.
“I refuse to believe that she won’t cough up the money if you threaten to tell Luna what has happened.”
Heather narrowed her eyes. “You’re right. After all, she was also involved in trying to kill Luna all those
years ago.”
