Christopher seemed to be targeting Malcolm in all of his verbal accusations.
This was strange.
When Malcolm had given Christopher the Clinging Root, he had understood the frustration that Christopher had felt when Joshua fooled him, so the two of them should have had a harmonious relationship. Why was Christopher so harsh toward Malcolm today?
"I'm just trying to make sense of something." Christopher sneered and extended his hand toward Joshua, who was still wearing his mask.
Joshua handed him a phone.
Christopher scrolled through the call history and text messages on this phone as he stared at Malcolm impassively. "This servant whom you claimed to have left Quinn Mansion disguised himself and started working for me at Swan Lake Chalet.
"After Joshua's friend, Jude, contacted me about the Clinging Root, this man got in touch with the Quinn family, so much so that no matter what I did, whether i t was something major or minor, he'd call the Quinn family."
As he said this, Christopher stared at Malcolm coldly." How are you going to explain this, Master Quinn? Is this servant contacting the Quinn family out of concern despite his termination, or..."
Christopher's expression darkened. "Did the Quinn family send him to spy on me?"
Luna's heart leaped into her throat when she heard this.
Christopher was very explicit about what he was trying to say.
Malcolm had failed to recognize the fake herb just now, and on top of that, the Quinn family had sent someone to spy on Christopher...
The color drained from Luna's face.
At this moment, Malcolm reached out to grab hold of Luna's hand.
Luna, who had been worried that someone would discover Joshua's presence, had gone along with every one of Malcolm's whims all this while, even if it meant engaging in intimate displays of affection.
However, when Malcolm reached out this time, Luna withdrew her hand.
