Chapter 2408
For a moment there, Luna felt like she was in a dream while facing Joshua's calm, sharp, and clear thoughts.
‘Why...How can this man conclude the entire incident based on the little information he had?' She even spurted out in shock, "W...Why are you so smart?"
Joshua was amused by Luna's adorable look.He reached out his hand to rub lightly on her head while speaking in a soft voice, "How can I protect the silly you if I'm not smart?"
Luna unconsciously nodded after hearing Joshua's answer, but she quickly realized something suspicious among the lines.She lifted her head and glared at him angrily.
"Who is silly?"
"You."
Joshua gently smiled and pulled her into his arms.
"Spill: what promise did you make to Thomas?"
"Nothing, really..."
Luna took a deep breath and told Joshua everything that happened in the private room, including how Thomas said he liked Nellie but actually was not the case, and how he said he would let her know his intention after working with her in the future and that sort of thing.
Joshua's eyebrows pressed together upon hearing Luna's story.He looked to the front, his sight seemingly looking past the elevator door to a faraway place.
"In that case, we'll just take our time.No matter how well he disguises it, he'll eventually expose his tail.As for the person you said beside him, it should be Malcolm..."
Joshua sighed.
"I'll contact Uncle Samuel as soon as possible and ask what's the situation at his side."
After all, Samuel had promised his men would look after Malcolm, never allowing him to step foot in Merchant City ever again.
At Quinn Mansion.
Samuel gave a deadly stare at Malcolm, who was wearing a worker's uniform.He threw the mug to the floor angrily.
"I told you: you're not allowed to come back to Merchant City, and you have nothing to do with this family anymore! How dare you try to go behind my back? How did you get related to this Thomas Howard?"
Malcolm was sitting on the couch beside Samuel with crossed legs and a contemptuous smile.
"It's none of your business to know how I got in touch with Mr.Howard, old man.I'm here to tell you that I'm no longer a Quinn.Mr.Howard gave me a new name— Lucifer Howard, to resemble my new life by welcoming new light."
He looked up with a remote expression.
"Of course, I still want to come back here to tell you this, even when I'm no longer a Quinn.
"Once I achieve my purpose, I'll come back to this family."
He looked at the mansion before him.
"Everything here will belong to me, sooner or later."
Samuel was so enraged with Malcolm's attitude that blood rushed to his mouth, causing him to vomit.He wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth while his body shivered in fury.He looked at Malcolm angrily.
"You—! Your new name matches you, alright! Lucifer Howard! Lucifer, the devil! You are a devil; a devil in our family!"
Malcolm felt pleased to see his father vomit blood, watching as the color left his face.
‘It's what he deserves!”
A moment there, Luna felt like she was in a dream while facing Joshua's calm, sharp, and clear thoughts.
