Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1383
Luna lifted her head to stare straight into Granny Quinn’s eyes. “Of course I’m willing.“
“Luna! “ Malcolm, who had been lying face down on the table, suddenly grew outraged when he heard this. He resisted the pain in his entire body as he reached out to grab hold of Luna’s arm. “Are you crazy? To host such an extravagant ceremony means that Joshua will find out, too! If he finds out about all this, he’ll be devastated…“
Luna bit down on her lip and shrugged Malcolm’s arm away. Then, she took a step forward so that Malcolm would not be able to grab onto her. “ Malcolm, it’s already enough that you’ve been keeping my interests at heart, but why are you taking Joshua’s feelings into account as well?
“You’ve already sacrificed so much for other people. You should think for yourself, too.“
With that, she let out an exhale and turned to stare at Granny Quinn. “Granny, you can have the final say on how you want the engagement party to be hosted tomorrow. This time, I won’t run away or go back on my word anymore.“
Luna turned around and glanced at Malcolm, who was covered in blood, and said, “I’ll keep my promise and take good care of him.“
With that, she strode over to Malcolm’s side and ordered one of the servants to summon a doctor. Then, with the help of the rest of the servants, she picked the motionless man up from the table and placed him back into his wheelchair.
When she wheeled Malcolm to the entrance of the yard, Luna paused in her tracks and said, “Since I’ve already agreed to your terms of marrying Malcolm, please don’t ever make his life difficult again. He’s already paralyzed and is no longer the head of the Quinn family anymore.“
With that, she wheeled Malcolm into the entrance and disappeared from view.
As soon as the door was closed behind her, Hunter and Granny Quinn exchanged a glance, sinister smiles playing on their lips.
Daylight came.
Inside a five-star hotel in Merchant City, Joshua spent the entire night up working.
He still remembered his promise to Luna that he would bring her home after a week in Merchant City.
Today was the last day.
Previously, when he and his men were concocting a plan to defeat the Landry family, Joshua had already considered the influence that Jim and his son, Harvey, would have on the Landry family’s power.
However, despite this careful calculation, Joshua still underestimated the true influence of Jim Landry, the eldest son of the Landry family.
During this period of time, Jim had claimed to have quit his job managing the Quinn family’s businesses and instead went traveling with his son to search for his birth mother.
However, to Joshua’s surprise, Jim had still accomplished plenty of things for the Landry family despite being away.
Last night, when Jim and Harvey returned to Merchant City without warning, they had brought with them newly signed contracts and funding that allowed the Landry family to sustain themselves despite Joshua’s attacks.
Truth be told, Joshua knew that according to his capabilities, he needed only two or three days to overcome the obstacle that had suddenly materialized.
However, he could not afford to let Luna wait any longer.
He could never break his promise to her. He had already hurt her and subjected her to harm too many times.
Therefore, even if it meant sacrificing sleep, Joshua would still use this final day to topple the Landry family so that they would return Luna to his side!
Lucas, who had been up all night working alongside Joshua, let out a sigh of relief as he stared at the Landry family’s plummeting stock prices on the computer screen. “Don’t worry, Sir. Now that the stock prices have come to an all-time low, the Landry family won’t be able to revive themselves within ten hours.
“You’ve already gone without sleep for so many days now. You should take this opportunity to rest so that when you see Ma’am later, you won’t be too exhausted.”
Joshua, who had just been about to continue working, furrowed his brows when he heard this. He lifted his head to glance at Lucas before finally standing up and entering his bedroom.
Lucas fluffed up the pillows for him as he added, “ That’s right. You should get some rest. Otherwise, Ma’am will be upset to see you so tired.”
