"Of course the money should stay with me and be subject to my disposal."
Luna, who had finally recomposed herself from the shock of being slapped by Charles, sneered and glanced at Heather coldly. "Don't forget this money is what Father and Mother owe me.
"Mr. Landry abandoned me in the orphanage when I was just a child, causing me to suffer in a poor family for more than twenty years and even be bullied and insulted by the Gibsons over the years.
"Therefore, this money was given to me to make up for all the suffering I had been through."
With that, Luna glanced at Charles, snickering. "Why don't you tell us what you intend to do with this money, Mr. Landry?"
Charles leaned against his chair feebly and waved his hand at Luna. "Well, when your mother and I froze this money to leave it under your name, we had never thought of taking it back from you.
"You don't have to say things like this to make me feel bad. If you want the money, you can take it. I have no right to stop you anyway."
Heather's entire body stiffened when she heard this.
Charles was not planning to get the money back from
Luna at all!
How could this be?
She bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Father, you should know that the Landry family is now..."
Charles waved his hands dismissively. "Since Joshua Lynch is all she thinks about, do you honestly think she'll care about the Landry family's survival?"
With that, he glanced meaningfully at Heather and added, "After announcing that I'll be kicking her out of the Landry family tonight, I'll sign the papers to segregate the money under her name from our own so that she can take it away with her."
Heather widened her eyes in shock.
This was not what she wanted at all! She wanted Charles to demand the money back from Luna before kicking her out!
