Seeing the glimmer in Luna's eyes disappear, Jim sighed, took out a contract from his pocket, and placed it in front of Luna. "I didn't manage to sleep even a wink last night. After settling everything here, I returned to Landry Group to familiarize myself with everything that has happened and how the company's situation is now."
He lifted his head to stare at Luna. "The situation is far more complicated than I had expected.
"Heather was a total idiot. Under Malcolm's influence, she had tied all of Landry Group's supply chains together with Quinn Group's to double their profits, but this also meant that if one of us were to go bankrupt, the other would go down with them.
"I'm sure you must still remember what happened to Quinn Group last night."
Jim pushed the contract closer to Luna and said," Because of this, Landry Group is on the verge of bankruptcy as well. I have to first help both Landry and Quinn Group tide over this before I can untie both of the corporation's bonds.
"Therefore, I need your help."
Luna furrowed her brows and lowered her head to glance at the contract.
It was almost identical to the one Malcolm had given her before, stating that if she signed this contract, it would allow Jim to unfreeze the money under her name and utilize it for Landry Group's funding.
Luna curled her lips into a smile and signed the contract without a second thought after borrowing a pen from the prison guard.
She handed the signed contract back to Jim and said," Thank you, Jim."
She knew fully well that even if she could not be bailed out of jail, she would still have to sign this contract.
If the Landry and Quinn families were not on the verge of bankruptcy, Heather and Malcolm would not have been so desperate to get her to hand over the money.
Besides, even if she had not ended up in jail, Jim would have been the one to take care of all this anyway.
The situation she was in was not much different than i f she had not been accused of murder. 1
As soon as she thought of this, she let out an exhale and lifted her head to stare intently at Jim. "If possible, help me find Joshua and tell him to come to visit me. I want to see him."
Jim fell silent for a moment, then nodded. "Alright."
