Malcolm's men quickly obtained the relevant security footage, but...
There had been too many guests at the party tonight, and after Malcolm had sent his men to chase after Joshua, the party had come to an end, so the entrance of the hotel was so packed with people that they could not tell where Luna had escaped.
Malcolm slammed his fist on the table in fury.
After a long time, he lifted his head to glance at his assistant. "What happened with the Landry family?”
His engagement party had failed, but Heather must have succeeded with her plan, right?
After all, Joshua was out trying to evade his men, so h e must not have been able to monitor the Landry family’s stocks.
The assistant nodded and replied, "The Landry family's stock prices have returned to their normal level and are now operating as usual."
Malcolm finally let out a sigh of relief when he heard this. As he was about to relax, however, he received a call from Heather. "Malcolm, I failed."
Malcolm frowned. "Didn't the Landry family's stocks-"
"That wasn't me," said Heather as she sat in her room i n despair. "It was...Jim.
"He detained all my men that I sent to follow Joshua and battled the Lynch family himself. Finally...our stock prices managed to return to normal, but all the credit goes to him.”
As she said this, Heather glanced out the window, where Hans and the rest of her men were tied up in the rain. "Not only that...but I might be punished for this.”
Malcolm hung up the phone in disappointment.
They had failed.
All their plans had failed.
He and Heather had spent ages deceiving this nearperfect plan...but it had failed.
He did not manage to marry Luna and win back the respect of his family, while Heather did not manage to win Charles' trust and become the heiress of the Landry family!
As soon as he thought of this, Malcolm lifted his head t o stare at the red dot that was still circling Ring Road.
