Chapter 1714

Was Joshua starting to treat her as his foe?

Seeing that Luna was about to break down, Heather let out a sigh and decided to tell her an even more
shocking piece of news. ”Still, you can’t blame Joshua for not trusting you, Luna.”

She took out a lab report from her pocket and placed it on the table between them. ”Look, the child that
you and Joshua had buried doesn’t belong to him, after all.”

She picked up the lab report with shaking hands.

It was clearly written that the two DNA samples showed no blood relation to each other at all.

Luna’s hands started to shake even harder.

She recalled the servant named Vivian that had died.

When Vivian died, she had told her that the child had been switched out. However, she was shot to
death before she could tell her who did this and where Luna’s child really was.

Luna bit her lip as her emotions battled among one another.

On the one hand, she was delighted to think that there was a possibility that her child was still alive.

There was hope!

On the other hand, she was worried about the child’s whereabouts. Where was she? Was she still alive?
Where would she even begin to search for the child?

What if, even after searching high and low, it turned out that her child had died after all?

As soon as she thought of this, Luna felt as though an invisible hand was squeezing her heart.



”Luna,” Heather said, a small smile playing on her lips as she stared at Luna’s face. ”I should tell you my
true intentions of visiting you here today.

”Do you honestly think I was just here to fulfill my promise? You should know that I never stick to my
word.”

Luna lifted her head to stare at Heather dazedly, her expression a little blank because of the confusing
thoughts swirling in her head. ”What are

you here for, then?”

Heather let out an exhale and replied, ”You probably don’t know this, but after I was kicked out of the
Landry family, Malcolm was kicked out of the Quinn family, too.

”Therefore, the two of us are homeless now, and we don’t have any source of income.”

With that, she curled her lips into a smirk and continued, ”However, I know where your child is, so I want
to talk terms with you.

”If Malcolm and I can find your child and return her to you, you have to segregate a small company out of
Landry Group for Malcolm and me to run.”

As she said this, she shifted into a comfortable position in her chair. ”However, if you’re unwilling to do
this, it doesn’t matter either, because when we find the child, we can bring her to Joshua and talk terms
with him.

”When that happens, we’ll become a part of Lynch Group.”

She lowered her voice and gazed intently at Luna. ” After all, Malcolm and I have run both Landry Group
and Quinn Group for a long time now, and we’re both more than familiar with the structure of the



company and its employees, so if we were to work for Lynch Group, the damage this will cause to you
will be insurmountable.

”Why don’t you think this over, Luna?”

Luna narrowed her eyes when she heard this.

She knew what had happened to Heather, but she never expected the same fate to befall Malcolm.

”So the only reason you came to me today was to get me to take you back in?”

Luna lowered her voice and continued, ”Actually, I’m curious about one thing: Since the child has been
switched out, it’s impossible that Joshua hasn’t investigated this.

”However, if even Joshua hasn’t managed to find anything, what makes you so confident that you and
Malcolm would be able to find her and even use this to talk terms with me? Unless…

”You two were the ones that switched my child out in the first place.”
