"Poor Mother, she's now in a vegetative state and stuck on her bed, but the real murderer is going to go off scot-free because of lacking evidence..." Tears started falling from Heather's eyes as she said this. "Is there no other way? Poor Mother..."
Charles narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He scoffed and said, "How can there be no other way?"
Since he could not punish Joshua through prosecution, he would use other means!
Charles had heard that a new gangster named Luke Jones, who was notorious for his crimes, had recently arrived in Merchant City.
Tonight, he would find Luke Jones and ask him to kill Joshua, at any price!
"If you have a plan, Father, that would be great..." Heather let out a sigh, comforted Charles, and sent him home. After bringing him back to Landry Mansion, she left again in a hurry.
Sitting in her car, Heather let out an exhale, took out her phone, and dialed Malcolm's number. "That old grinch says he can take care of Joshua Lynch.
"Though, that old grinch only thinks of me as his daughter, and I can't become the new Mrs. Landry. Quick, help me come up with a plan."
Malcolm fell into silence for a moment, then snickered. "Heather, your taste is becoming more and more questionable. Are you willing to sleep with an old man like Charles Landry for riches and power?"
Heather rolled her eyes and snapped, "What else am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to go back to Sea City and spend the rest of my life in poverty with Joseph and Natasha Gibson?
"They were the ones who had switched me out with Luna so that I could enjoy life with the Landry family i n the first place, so how can I go back so easily?"
Malcolm sneered. "So this is why you're trying to sleep with Charles Landry?
"C'mon, Heather, you used to be my fiancee in the past, so can you stop being so shameless?"
