"Of course I know the answer to this; Nigel is here in Merchant City, at the house where you and Joshua live, whereas Neil and Nellie are both in Banyan City waiting for your return. Am I right?"
With that, he curled his lips into a triumphant smile and added, "I've been keeping tabs on them, so your question isn’t that difficult to answer at all."
Joshua could not help bursting into laughter upon hearing this.
He had always been a courteous man and would never dare to laugh at someone out in the open like this. This time, he could not seem to contain it.
Malcolm furrowed his brows when he heard Joshua's laughter and glanced in his direction. "What's wrong, Mr. Lynch?" "Nothing, I just found it funny." Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and showed Malcolm an article from a few days ago on his phone.
The news article clearly stated that Joshua's children had flown to Merchant City to attend Jim's wedding, but because the flight was delayed due to poor weather conditions, they could not make it to the ceremony in time.
Joshua brandished his phone to Malcolm and added, chuckling, "If you really care about Neil and Nellie as much as you claim, Mr. Quinn, why couldn't you even be bothered to read the news?"
The color drained from Malcolm's face.
He bit his lip nervously, then opened his mouth to answer. "I..." "No answer to that, huh?" Joshua snickered, then lifted his head to glance in the direction of the operation room. "Tell me, why are you so interested in Riley all of a sudden?
"Don't try to keep spinning your tale of how much you care about her; no one here is going to believe you."
