“Could you be hiding Ms. Jacobs after all, Mr. Landry?” That assumption shifted the atmosphere in the
living room to a standstill.
Jim squinted at Quentin, his fists clenched tightly.
After a while, Joshua took a sip of tea and piped in, “Mr. Landry is right. We won’t be here if we don’t
have the evidence.”
He took a look at Quentin and added, “Do I need to show you the evidence where Charlotte was taken
away by a car belonging to the Quentin family? I’m sure you’re well aware of the consequences it
would have once I give this evidence to the police and when the media starts to publish it.”
Quentin narrowed his eyes, though there was a faint gleam of ferocity in his eyes after hearing what
Joshua said. He had received much information about Joshua from Laura, but this was the first time
that he dealt with him. Despite being arrogant and cold all the time, he did not expect Joshua to be
well-organized and aggressive altogether when it came down to business.
He did not give the evidence straight away to the police but instead headed straight to the mansion,
threatening Quentin to release Charlotte to them. Only when Quentin refused to give up Charlotte
would Joshua hand over the evidence to the authorities.
This tactical skill, trying fair means before resorting to force, was brilliant. Even Granny Quinn could not
find any excuse or flaw if the police were involved in the end.
Quentin squinted as he sized up Joshua meticulously, his gaze glinting with faint admiration. As
expected from the family member of Lucy, Joshua was no doubt a capable and well organized young
man.
Not only was he calm and steady, but he was also someone tedious to deal with.
“Mr. Simms, why are you not speaking?” Luna spoke up, breaking the silence with such a remote
question. She felt rather unnerved when she noticed Quentin staring at Joshua with an unkind look
Finally, Quentin came to and fixed his gaze on Luna, Rosalyn’s daughter. After being back in Merchant
City for quite a while, he knew that Malcolm had disfigured Luna before. Although she looked nothing
like Rosalyn at present, her clear eyes the determined look on her face to protect her loved ones were
the exact same as Rosalyn’s.
He looked at Luna and could not help but smile.
“Ms. Gibson, if I remember correctly, you’re the daughter of Charles and Rosalyn, correct? You must
know that the Landry family and the Lynch family have been enemies for many years now; it isn’t a
matter of one or two lives.
“Just within this year, Joshua had attacked the Lynch family and caused many of their small
subsidiaries to fall into bankruptcy. Many people have lost their work and home because of it. Are you
aware of that?
“How can you still sit so comfortably next to Joshua and cling to his arm? Do your parents know what
you’re doing? Does your uncle, who has passed away, know?” Luna furrowed. It was obvious that
Quentin said such things to disgust her. She knew it…but it rattled her nonetheless.
She subconsciously withdrew her hand from Joshua’s arm. However, the moment she removed her
hand, Joshua reeled her back so she could not move away. The warmth from his palm passed on to
her arms, warming her heart in return. She pursed her lips and lowered her head without struggling,
allowing him to hold her.
“There’s no need for you to drive a wedge between us.” Joshua smiled.
“We didn’t come here today to listen to you analyzing the feud between the Landry family and the
Lynch family. Besides…the Quinn family was the main reason behind the feud between both families.”
