It never occurred to Luna that Father Samuel was so firm and resolute. 'Kicking Malcolm out of the city?'
All these years, Malcolm had built his network and reputation solely in Merchant City, and the moment he exited the city, he would have nothing left and would need to start from scratch. Even if he had any leverage or information, a no-name like him would not be able to cause any big problem.
Having that thought in her mind, Luna sighed. "After all the things he did, he deserved it. Let's hope he'll be a better person in the future."
Although it was cruel to kick Malcolm out of the city, it would be crueler to Luna and
Joshua if Malcolm stayed.
"There's nothing to worry about anymore." Joshua kissed Luna's ear. "The Quinn family will make sure that Malcolm stays away from the city. We have a more urgent matter to deal with now-Butler Fred and Mickey."
Luna sighed again when Joshua mentioned those two men. "Alright. I'll listen to you."
In the past, she had been getting herself to a dead end. She thought Joshua wanted to take revenge on Butler Fred and Mickey for himself and the Lynch family. After everything that happened and deliberating things, she realized she could never be further from the truth.
Butler Fred and Mickey had been using the excuse of the greater good of the Landry family and secretly poisoned Granny Lynch, instigating the feud between the Lynch family and the Landry family. Even Luna once believed that Rosalyn, her mother, was the one who poisoned Granny Lynch.
If they could frame Rosalyn for this murderous crime, what more would they do in the future? Maybe they would come out with a more outrageous plan.
The loyalty that Butler Fred and Mickey had for the Landry family came with conditions. Thus, whether it was for Joshua or the Landry family, Luna knew she should expose Butler Fred and Mickey's true colors.
