Chapter 1737
Jim could not believe his ears.
“Are you…Joshua Lynch?” he asked dubiously.
“Yes, it’s me.” Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and said, “I guess after a year of spending time together, you’ve grown to recognize my voice quite well.”
Jim rolled his eyes and asked, frowning, as he flung open the car door and got into the car,” Why is Luna with you?”
Had she not gone to conduct a business meeting with Mr. Hanson?
“How dare you even ask me that?” Joshua curled his lips into a sneer. “After announcing her return to Landry Group, I thought you’d assign her some other task to increase morale within the company, but it turns out you sent her to attend an orgy with Mr. Hanson and his friends.”
Joshua then added condescendingly, “If it weren’t for me, she would’ve woken up in Mr. Hanson’s bed by now! What kind of brother are you?”
Joshua’s scolding made Jim furrow his brows in confusion. “What on earth are you talking about?”
When did he send Luna to attend an orgy?
Luna had requested him to assign her a challenging task that would assert Landry Group’s dominance as well as increase morale within the employees, so he had sent her on a mission to conduct a business meeting with Mr. Hanson.
That evening, before getting off work, he had even asked her if she had any idea how to accomplish this.
At that time, Luna had told her that Mr. Hanson was hosting a dinner party that night, and she wanted to attend it.
When Jim heard this, he did not overthink it at all and instead agreed with her, thinking that it would be good for her to attend social gatherings like this to work on her social skills.
Little did he know that the party she would be attending was an…
“Who else would’ve sent her on this mission if not you?” Joshua scoffed. “Don’t try to evade your responsibility in this.
“Not many people know about this party of Mr. Hanson’s tonight, and according to Luna’s connections here in Merchant City, she couldn’t have possibly found out about this herself.
“However, not only did she discover this, but she even attended it herself.
“Who else could’ve possibly been able to obtain this news, told Luna about it, and made her willing attend it?”
Jim was utterly perplexed by this. “I’m telling you; I wasn’t the one who sent her!
“Joshua Lynch, even if the entire Landry family were to go bankrupt, I still wouldn’t send my sister to attend an orgy!
“I know you love Luna, but I love her more than you do!”
With that, he let out an exhale and said, “You bring her to Lincoln City right now, and I’ll let her tell you herself when she wakes up tomorrow!”
With that, Jim hung up the phone, frustrated.
What a weirdo!
Even though he was a Landry, he was technically Joshua’s cousin, after all, so how could he doubt him like this?
After letting out an exhale to calm himself down, Jim glanced at Charles, who was sitting in the backseat, clutching a blanket as he muttered Rosalyn’s name over and over.
Jim rubbed his brows in frustration and ordered, “Driver, let’s hit the road.”
“Yes, Sir,” the driver murmured in reply, then started the car.
Jim tucked away his phone and turned to glance out the window.
Suddenly, he noticed that a woman dressed head-to-toe in black was standing next to one of the hospital entrance’s pillars.
Her lean and skinny frame looked extremely frail and lonely underneath the light.
Jim could not help frowning when he saw this.
He could not help feeling that this woman looked eerily like… Charlotte.
As soon as he remembered the woman that had left Merchant City a long time ago, Jim closed his eyes and let out a self-deprecating chuckle.
How could she be back?
After what happened in the past, he had told her he never wanted to see her again, and Charlotte, too, had sworn she would never return to Merchant City.
As soon as he thought of this, Jim glanced in the direction of the pillar once more. There was no one there.
