Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy by Inked Snow Chapter 1686
In the past, Luna had always been a jewelry designer and had never assumed any roles of leadership before.
All of a sudden, she had inherited such a large company as Landry Group.
She did not even prepare for a speech at all!
At this moment, Charles shoved a piece of paper into her hand and said in a low voice, “Just read from this!”
Grateful that help had arrived, Luna quickly spread out the piece of paper and recited in a loud voice, “Good evening, everyone. From today onward, I’ll be taking over as the CEO of Landry Group. My brother, Jim, and I will give Landry Group a fresh start and lead everyone toward a new and brighter future!
“We will rise to the challenge of our mortal enemy, and not only will we wipe out all the humiliation brought onto us over the past year, but we will make them pay for their actions…”
After reciting the contents of this paper dazedly, Luna quickly found an excuse and scampered off the stage.
When she returned to her seat, she could feel a tingle shoot down her spine.
She furrowed her brows and turned around, only to discover that Joshua was staring straight at her.
He stared at her with a look so cold that she felt as though she had been submerged in ice.
Luna froze for a moment, then felt her heart sink.
She knew why Joshua was staring at her like this.
The grave situation of both the Landry and Quinn families was Joshua’s doing.
The fact that she had become CEO of Landry Group meant that from this moment onward, she and Joshua were mortal enemies and would be competing with each other.
In her speech, she had even claimed that she would make their enemy pay for his actions.
The enemy that she had been talking about…was Joshua.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna felt her skin crawl.
She had thought she was just here to attend a wedding today, but instead, she had been forced by the Landry family to become Joshua’s business competitor.
From that night onward…
Any conflict between the Landry and Lynch families would become a conflict between her and Joshua.
As soon as she thought of this, a twinge of sadness spread through her heart.
When Charles had announced kicking Heather out of the family, Luna thought that the Landry family was finally valuing her for the first time and that she had now meant something to Charles, but…
Charles was taking this opportunity to appoint her as CEO of Landry Group.
He knew fully well that Luna did not have the capabilities or experience of running a business, but he still made this decision.
Luna refused to believe that if she were not Joshua’s ex-wife, Charles would have passed over the company to her just based on the conditions she had given Malcolm.
He was just using Joshua’s dedication toward her in an attempt to save the Landry family.
Luna closed her eyes and suddenly felt a little suffocated.
She turned around and, while no one was looking, snuck out of the door and onto the balcony for a breath of fresh air.
However, to her surprise, she bumped into Cheryl on the balcony.
A severely-injured Cheryl.
At this moment, Cheryl was lying in a corner of the balcony, her back against the railing. Her entire abdomen had been split open, and blood was gushing out of her stomach.
Luna was so frightened by the scene before her that she could not even say a word.
This was the first time she had even come across such a shocking sight.
Seeing that someone had arrived, Cheryl reached out her hand toward Luna weakly. “Help me… Help me up…”
Luna could tell that from the way Cheryl looked, she would not even be able to make it until the ambulance arrived.
However, Cheryl seemed to have something to say.
Luna bit her lip and walked over carefully as she called one of the security guards for help. However, to her surprise, as soon as she reached Cheryl’s side, Cheryl immediately wrapped her hands around her neck and screamed, “Why are you trying to kill me? Tell me: why are you trying to kill me?!”
