To Hunter’s disappointment, Granny Quinn did not come to see him at all.
Instead, the person sitting in front of him was a sneering Malcolm.
”You, too, have become a useless pawn,” Malcolm said, cackling. ”Granny gave me money yesterday, and in exchange, I will have to come to visit you today, so I guess you know what that means, right?
”I can’t believe that yesterday, I had even told you that you’d one day become the successor of the Quinn family. What a surprise!”
Hunter stared at Malcolm with an expression so cold that it was as though he would kill him at any moment.
Feeling the hatred in Hunter’s gaze, Malcolm let out an exhale and shifted into a comfortable position in his chair. ”I know why you asked Granny for help: You want her to help you get out of this predicament, don’t you?
”However, since she has told me to come in her stead without any further instructions, I’m guessing she has no intention of getting you out of here.
”However, if you beg me, I might be able to help you.”
Hunter narrowed his eyes. ”Will you do that if I really beg you?”
Malcolm curled his lips into a smirk. ”Of course…”
He inched closer to Hunter and said in a low voice, ”Of course I won’t.
”How can someone that was kicked out of the Quinn family and has no connections or money whatsoever help you break out of jail?”
Hunter narrowed his eyes, despair clouding his gaze.
He was very loyal to his family ever since his parents passed away when he was young. Over the years, he would try his best to accomplish every single one of the tasks that Granny Quinn and Malcolm had asked him to.
However, he never thought that his grandmother would give up on him when he got in trouble, and his cousin-brother would taunt him for this.
Seeing the look of despair on Hunter’s face,
Malcolm cackled and continued, ”Hunter, you’ve indeed done plenty of things for our family over the years, but that doesn’t mean you’re competent. You were the one who landed yourself in this trouble at the beginning.
”Do you think I wouldn’t have noticed that you gave me a fake baby after accidentally losing Joshua and Luna’s?
