Malcolm placed the empty glass on a nearby table and replied, “It‘s delicious.” It had been a while since
he last tasted such good lemonade.
The last time he enjoyed luxury was before he was kicked out of Merchant City and had to rely on
Thomas‘ help.
Thomas had taken him in as a subordinate, but he treated his employees poorly. Malcolm had to force
himself to eat and drink the disgusting food provided every day, or he would have starved! Malcolm could
not help feeling sorry for himself at the thought of this.
Even though Thomas had promised to take him in, he did not treat him well at all and instead forced him
to work as a slave.
According to Thomas, laying low was the best option they had. Malcolm had to work and suffer as a
subordinate in silence until, eventually, when everyone in Merchant City had forgotten about his true
identity, he would be given a new identity as Lucifer Howard.
However, Malcolm could not help thinking that Thomas was patronizing him.
He was, in fact, using him without a single regard for his dignity.
He had wanted to dispose of him after he got what he wanted, which was information about Riley‘s
whereabouts.
Otherwise, Thomas would not have humiliated him so badly in front of Samuel, his own father!
This was why Malcolm had no choice but to accept the next job that came his way, which was to poison
and assassinate Bonnie. The person who hired him promised she would give him a large sum of money
that would turn his life around as long as Bonnie died, but…
That afternoon, Malcolm received the news about Bonnie‘s miraculous survival.
This utterly shattered every last ounce of hope he had. Thankfully, Neil got in touch with him… Malcolm
could not help shifting his gaze onto Nellie as he thought of this. Thank heavens! He would not have to
suffer any longer!
As long as Nigel, Neil, and Nellie still adored him, he would be able to win over
their trust and lure them away.
As soon as he got his hands on the three children, Joshua and Luna would have to do anything he said!
Malcolm took a step forward Dco(_Al grabbed hold of Nellie‘s hand.
When a person hit rock bottom, there was nowhere to go but up.
The reason he had rescued Luna and helped her take care of the three children was to keep them as his
gambit so that he could threaten Joshua into doing whatever he wanted and bring glory to the Quinn
family!
At present, Granny Quinn had passed away, Samuel had abandoned him, and Hunter was in prison.
Even whatever remained of the Quinn family fortune had been given away to Joshua by that wretched
Samuel.
Because of this, Malcolm was convinced that the Quinn family had fallen and that he had no other way
out of his misery. However, at this critical moment, Joshua‘s three children had shown up right when he
needed them most!
As long as he got his hands on them, Joshua would surely give the family fortune back to him, and as
soon as he got the money back, he would be reinstated as Master Quinn, the heir to the Quinn family
fortune!
Malcolm‘s voice began to tremble in excitement at the thought of this. “Where are your two brothers,
Nellie?”
“They‘re waiting for you in the study!” Nellie beamed as she clutched Malcolm‘s hand, leading the way.
“Neil and Nigel said that they‘ve prepared a surprise for you, Uncle Malcolm, and they want me to bring
you there personally!” Malcolm grew even more delighted when he heard this. Judging from the adoring
tone in Nellie‘s voice, she still trusted him, and he could not help feeling triumphant at this realization. So
what if Joshua was their real father? He was the one who had taken care of them for six years, and if it
were not for the fact that they had Joshua‘s blood running in their veins, he would have taken care of
them for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, they were nothing but mere pawns in his glorious game of
chess from the beginning!
