“What’s wrong?” Jim furrowed his brows as he pulled a shuddering Charlotte into his arms. H e 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 general public, had found out about
Luna being involved with Joshua Lynch, so if Luna were to continue being the CEO O f Landry Group, it
would only destroy the employees’ morale.
Not only that, but from the moment she decided to get involved with Joshua, Jim thought that she had
lost her privilege as a Landry.
Therefore, she should reallocate all her shares to him and resign from her position as CEO.
Jim did not think this request was unreasonable. Even if he was not the leader and, instead, Charles
was, Jim was sure that his father would make the same decision.
However…
TO
Not only was Luna seemingly displeased by this decision, but she had even gone to great lengths to use
her connections to help her.
First, she had asked Joshua and his assistant to attack Landry Group so she would be able to
monopolize the company’s shares.
Then, she decided to bring someone like Luke Jones with her to their meeting.
It was clear Luna was trying to provoke them.
Seeing that Jim did not reply, Charlotte bit her lip and asked timidly, “What should we do now, Jim?”
Jim narrowed his eyes and fixed his penetrating gaze on the distance. Then, he said with a hint of
coldness in his tone, “We’ll take it one step at a time as soon as we meet Luna.
“If you hadn’t withdrawn my emergency money, we wouldn’t have ended up in such a passive situation.”
With that, he coldly stared at Charlotte’s face and demanded, “Who gave you the right to touch my
money?”
Charlotte, who was still laying against Jim’s shoulder, immediately froze when she heard this.
She bit her lip and stared intently at Jim’s face. “I…”
Then, she lowered her head and said with a hint of helplessness in her tone, “I was just trying t o help
you.
“I thought since the money wasn’t being used anyway, I might as well take it out and infuse it into Landry
Group’s future development funds. Besides…”
She lifted her head to stare at Jim, a glimmer of hopefulness in her eyes. “You must’ve seen what I had
done with that money. With the funds, Landry Group has successfully unbound two of its supply chains
from Quinn Group. This is a good thing, Jim.”
Jim’s expression darkened when he saw the delighted look on Charlotte’s face. “Charlotte, do you know I
had specially allocated that money for emergencies like these?
“If my money were still intact, Landry Group wouldn’t have ended up in such a passive position beneath
Lynch Group!”
Charlotte gnawed on her lip nervously. “But… But I…” She lowered her head and stuttered, “I was just
trying to help you… …”
