Chapter 1704
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy by Inked Snow Chapter 1704
“You’ve both been kicked out of your families?” “That’s right.” Malcolm did not even get the chance to continue when he heard
Jim slamming the phone down without a hint of hesitation.
On the other end of the line, Malcolm closed his eyes helplessly when he heard the dial tone.
“How did it go?” Heather, who was holding Riley in her arms, approached him. “What did Jim say?”
Malcolm shot her a cold glance and tossed the phone onto the ground with a thud. “He’s not willing.”
Jim’s attitude was enough to prove everything.
The phone landed on the ground with a loud thud that startled Riley, who burst into tears. Heather furrowed her brows and gritted
her teeth as she tried in frustration to shake the baby to sleep. “Shut up!
“We shouldn’t have stolen this baby! Now, we’re broke and can only live in this rented house, yet we still have to take care of this
one-month-old baby!”
Heather wanted nothing more than to choke this baby to death right this instant.
Malcolm glanced at her, frowning. Then, he suppressed the rage in his heart and strode over to take Riley from her. “We still
have to look after her; she’s the only thing that can give us money at this time.”
Heather bit her lip. “I’ll go find Joshua Lynch right now!”
“No, we can’t go to Joshua.” Malcolm narrowed his eyes. ” He’s too intelligent, and if we use Riley to threaten him, we might not
even get anything in the end.
“The only thing we can do now is help the Landry family get Luna out of jail.
“She’s already a sensitive and fragile woman, but on top of that, Riley is her biological daughter...
“Besides, now, as CEO of Landry Group, Luna has a lot of money and power in her hands. She’s the perfect target for us to get
what we want.”
Heather pouted slightly and asked, “How are we supposed to get by now? We’ve already sold our cars and luxury items but only
managed to get a few million dollars out of that. On top of that, we have a child with us, and we’re bound to use up all this money
in a matter of days!”
“I have a plan.” Malcolm narrowed his eyes, picked up the phone he had tossed onto the ground, and dialed Hunter’s number.
Hunter soon picked up the phone. “Hello, Malcolm.”
“Hunter.” Malcolm curled his lips into a small smile. ” Congratulations on becoming the sole heir of the Quinn family fortune.”
Hunter fell silent for a moment, then chuckled. “What on earth are you talking about, Malcolm?
“Granny is just angry right now, but by the time she gets over it, you’ll be able to come home.”
As he said this, Hunter was leaning against the headboard of the hospital bed, staring at his index finger-less right hand. “I’m not
as competent as you, so how can I possibly take over the Quinn family?”
Granny Quinn would never allow a handicapped person to take over the family business.
The fact that she had ordered for his finger to be cut off not only allowed him to evade suspicion as a murder suspect but also
meant there was no way he would be able to inherit the family fortune anymore.
No one was more heartless than Granny Quinn.
Samuel had once claimed that Granny Quinn was the cruelest woman on earth, and on that day, Hunter had finally realized this
was true.
“Of course I know that. I’ll return to the Quinn family eventually.” Malcolm curled his lips into a small smile. ” Nonetheless, I’m
having some financial difficulties now, Hunter, and it’d be great if you can help me out a little, but if you can’t...”
Malcolm’s laughter suddenly turned sinister. “Then I have no choice but to expose everything you did in the past to the media in
exchange for some money to feed my family.”
