Charlotte had yet to finish her sentence when Jim’s phone rang all of a sudden.
He picked up the call, frowning.
Joshua’s low voice, laced with a hint of a smile, rang out from the other end of the line,” Hello, Mr. Landry. This must be the first thing we ever talked on the phone ever since you lost your memories.”
Jim narrowed his eyes and sneered, “Yes, this is the first time we’ve ever talked on the phone, but even before this, I’ve already gotten to know you very well, Mr. Lynch.”
There was a trace of hatred in Jim’s voice.
Joshua could not help chuckling when he heard this. “I cañ tell from your voice that you hate m e very much right now, Mr. Landry. Well, don’t worry, because I’m not going to waste much of your precious time.”
He let out an exhale and continued impassively, “I can tell you very clearly that even though she agreed to meet with you at Landry Mansion, Luna will not give in to your terms and hand over her shares of Landry Group.”
As soon as she heard this, Charlotte’s brows scrunched up into a scowl. She snapped through gritted teeth, “What right does she have to refuse us?
“Since she has already been kicked out of the Landry family, she should maintain her distance and return all the money!
“All this money doesn’t even belong to her!”
“Who owns the money if not her? Do you think you’re the rightful owner of the Landry family’s fortune, Ms. Jacobs?” Joshua interrupted her curtly. “Ms. Jacobs, I’m talking to Mr. Landry right now, and since when have you become his spokesperson? Has he become mute? Doesn’t he know how to speak for himself?”
The color drained from Charlotte’s face when she heard this.
“Do you like stealing things from other people so much, Ms. Jacobs, that aside from stealing someone else’s childhood, memories, and identity, you have now set out to steal Luna’s money and Jim’s freedom of speech?”
As soon as he said this, Joshua could not help snickering. “Why do you like stealing things so much, Ms. Jacobs?”
As soon as the door closed behind her, Jim shifted into a more comfortable position in his chair and said lazily, “What do you want?”.
“What I want is simple.” Joshua curled his lips into a smirk. “Luna is loyal to your family, and s o, she’s reluctant to let go of her share of the fortune.
“I’m just trying to help her.”
With that, Joshua exhaled, leaned against his office chair, and stared at the smiling photo of Luna on his computer screen. “If you don’t force her to give up her shares of Landry Group and the family fortune, I’ll order Lucas to sell off the majority of Landry Group’s shares individually.
“However, if you insist on forcing her… “I will only make things harder for you.
“The moment she leaves Landry Group, the entire company, as well as Landry family itself, will cease to exist.”
