"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."
He knew that Malcolm would never do anything that did not benefit him.
The fact that he had willingly handed Riley over to Quentin to save himself meant that he did not care
about whether Riley was dead or alive.
However, now that Riley had fallen ill, he had rushed over as soon as he could, and anyone with half a
brain could tell that something was wrong.
Staring at Joshua's steely gaze, Malcolm bit his lip nervously fell silent for a long time before finally
turning around with a flourish.
"If you don't want to let me know about Riley's condition, so be it! I'm just here to check on her out of
kindness, and since the two of you are constantly second- guessing my intentions, I'll save myself
some trouble and get lost!"
With that, he turned and stomped away.
"Mr.Quinn," Joshua said coldly as he watched Malcolm leave.
"You should know why I never tried to take revenge on you and Heather for doing those things to Luna;
your father saved my aunt and allowed her to live the rest of her life in peace.I wanted to repay him for
his kindness, but he wanted nothing in return and only asked that I show mercy toward you.
"This is the only reason I haven't tried to take revenge on you, but His voice turned cold.
"Please watch yourself, and don't ever show up in front of me or my family ever again."
Malcolm narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
"Alright, noted!"
With that, he quickly scampered away.
As soon as he came out of the hospital, he let out an exhale and dialed a number.
"Mr.H, I've tried my best.Joshua isn't willing to let your child go, and now, she's in the hospital, and I
can't get any information out of them...I really don't know how to help you steal the baby from them!"
