Malcolm's expression darkened upon hearing this. He furrowed his brows and replied rather feebly, had no choice!"
All of a sudden, he lifted his head to stare at Luna as though he had suddenly recalled something. "Lulu, you know me better than anyone. I can be quite cowardly in times of need, but .I truly love and care for Riley, just like how I loved Nigel, Neil, and Nellie.
"You remember just how kind I was to you and the children, don't you? Even though I had made some mistakes in the past, you can't deny that I had been kind to you and the three children, can you?"
Luna narrowed her eyes upon hearing this.
If this had happened in the past, she would have stood on Malcolm's side and helped him, but at this moment...
She curled her lips into a smirk, fixed her crystal clear eyes on Malcolm's face, and coldly retorted, "Is that so? Malcolm, you're saying that because you were always kind to me and my children, you want me to help you explain to Joshua that you had treated Riley the same and that you were just forced to give her up to Quentin out of desperation?"
Malcolm's entire face lit up. "That's right. Lulu, I can't believe that after so long, you're still the only one who understands me the best."
A wave of nausea rolled through Luna's entire body.
He was right. When he first rescued her, she had indeed gotten to know him so well that she could understand his thoughts almost immediately.
However, at that time, it was because Malcolm had wanted her to help design some jewelry customized for Quinn Group.
When she accurately guessed his exact thoughts, he put his arm around her shoulder in delight and exclaimed, "There's no one else who can understand me the way you do, my dear Lulu. We're perfect for each other!"
At that time, Luna's heart was filled with hatred toward Joshua and gratitude towards Malcolm for saving her life.
When she first heard him saying this, her entire face had blushed scarlet.
