Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1944
“Star?” Malcolm lifted his head to stare at Joshua in puzzlement. “I don‘t recall anyone in the family… going boy that name at all.”
All members of the Quinn family were serious people, so why would they even pick such a quirky name?
Even if it were a nickname of sorts, it would not be something that sounded so childish.
Joshua narrowed his eyes. “Please think harder.”
He was almost certain that the person who had employed Todd to do such cruel things was one of the Quinns
That morning, he and Lucas had already read through all the information about the Quinn family they could get their hands on.
Initially, the Quinn family had been a small, humble family who could not seem to expand their business for many years due to considerable overlap with the Landry and Lynch families, who monopolized the market at that time.
However…something changed 20 years ago.
Lucy Hamilton‘s death and Colin Landry‘s accident drove the Landry and Lynch families into a conflict that had ceased to stop until present day.
The result of this was that these two families both suffered significant financial losses, and because of this, the Quinn family seized the opportunity to leap to the top of the food chain to compete directly with the Landry family.
At one point, the Quinn family had grown so powerful that their assets surpassed the Lynch family, but after Joshua took over from Granny Lynch, the Quinn family returned to their previous humble, quiet manner
Therefore, Joshua was confident that the Quinn family had been the mastermind behind the Landry and Lynch families‘ vengeance.
Of course, he had been so busy dealing with Charlotte and Jim over the past few days that he did not get the opportunity to look into this more, but that did not mean he had forgotten.
One day, he would take his revenge on the Quinn family for what they did to them!
“I‘m quite sure that there‘s no one in the family who goes by ‘Star‘…” Malcolm whimpered as he kneeled o in the ground. With that, he lifted his head to stare at Joshua in confusion. “What‘s wrong with… this ‘Star‘
person?”
Joshua shook his head, frowning. “Nevermind.”
Seeing that Joshua did not ask further questions, Malcolm bit his lip nervously, crawled over to Joshua‘s side, and started pleading again, clinging onto Joshua‘s ankle like a beggar. “If you don‘t have any more questions, Mr. Lynch, can you help me escape? …I don‘t want to stay in this place anymore…”
He had lost all of his power and assets, including all his money, which he previously had underestimated due to his abundance of it. Malcolm knew that the Quinn family would cripple him should he be caught!
He had to get out of here before they could find him!
Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and glanced at Malcolm from his great height. “Why are you so impatient, Master Quinn? I‘ll help you get out of Merchant City, but…”
He squatted to meet Malcolm‘s sorrowful, terrified gaze. “Even if you want to leave, you have to help Luna and I find our lost child first. Otherwise… do you expect me to believe you just by the lab report you’re holding?
“What if we were to find Riley and discover that she wasn‘t our child after all? Who should I punish should this happen?”
The color drained from Malcolm‘s face as soon as he heard this.
Truth be told, Riley…was not Joshua and Luna‘s child at all.
It was all Hunter‘s fault!
Malcolm lifted his head to stare fearfully at Joshua and stammered, “What… What are you talking about, M r. Lynch? How can this DNA report be fake? It was issued by a reputable laboratory…”
Joshua curled his lips into a smirk. “Not long ago, Luna and I managed to catch up with Nellie when we returned to Banyan City.”
