Charlotte rolled her eyes when she heard this. "Of course we're doing this for the Landry family. After all, obtaining the title o f CEO will allow us to serve the Landry family!"
Luke put down his cup calmly and said," According to my knowledge, Luna's title as CEO of Landry Group has always been an empty one and doesn't really possess much power over the management of the company.
"Mr. Jim Landry has always been the one taking care of the innings and outings of the company.
"If you're really doing this for the Landry family's good, why are you so desperate to get your hands on this position that does not possess much power at all?"
Jim narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
Meanwhile, Charlotte's expression darkened.
She could not let Luke continue this topic anymore!
Charlotte bit her lip, swiveled her eyes, and glanced at Luke, smiling. "I didn't think you'd be so interested in the internal management of our company, Mr. Jones. I would've thought that someone like you'd only be interested in the power struggles and fights among gangs."
With that, Charlotte suddenly remembered something and lifted her head to glance at Luke, then at the two women standing behind Luke and Luna.
"I heard that the reason Mr. Jones and Ms. Luna are so close is because of Luna's ill friend, Gwen Larson, but how come only the two of you came here today? Where's M s. Larson?"
As she said this, Charlotte's gaze swept across the two women wearing caps and face masks, and a cold sneer appeared on her face. "Does Ms. Larson enjoy playing hide-and-seek?"
The two women stiffened when they heard this, and they exchanged quick glances but said not a word.
Seeing that Charlotte had already noticed Gwen and Bonnie, Luna did not hide the truth any longer. "You're right. Gwen has indeed come with us today, but she doesn't like talking to deceitful people, nor does she want these people to remember her face, so she chose to disguise herself this way."
With that, she curled her lips into a smile and added, "Let's not talk about her anymore. It'd be most unfortunate if she got upset and Mr. Jones failed to cajole her, leading to the Landry family's demise."
