Chapter 2196 Based on how Luna looked at Riley, Quentin knew that he made the right choice in keeping Riley. At
first, he had meant to use the baby as leverage for other means, but all thanks to Charlotte, his plan had gone
down the drain. He glared at Charlotte, musing to himself how she was a prodigal daughter.
He would have continued keeping Riley secretly as leverage against Joshua, using the infant especially when a more
dire situation arose, had it not been for her antics. Charlotte could have the chance to escape, but she had to be a
busybody and forced him to use his last card at hand!
Joshua frowned and looked at the baby in Quentin’s arms. Subconsciously, he stood in front of Luna and said

Quentin smiled. “I think it’s fair that I exchange your child with mine, isn’t it?”
This comment, however, took Granny Quinn by complete surprise as her expression contorted as miserable as sin.
“Quentin, are you saying that…this disfigured woman is your daughter?”
Quentin frowned when he heard the question. “Godmother, I think it’s time for me to tell you the truth.”
In addition, he knew that if he denied admitting Charlotte as his daughter, Joshua would never agree with the
exchange. At this rate, he had no choice but to come clean and admit that Charlotte was his daughter. “There
was…a time that I got drunk with a woman, and she ended up pregnant with Charlotte “Quentin looked at Granny
Quinn apologetically. “I only knew about it after I went overseas… I’m sorry for hiding it from you for such a long
time.” Granny Quinn glared at Quentin. She wanted to say something…but nothing came out of her in the end.
Joshua frowned. “Mr. Simms, how are you going to prove that Charlotte is your daughter? If you can’t prove it like
how you insisted Jim to provide his evidence, then I’m afraid I won’t believe that Charlotte is your daughter.”
Joshua then turned his gaze to the child in Quentin’s arms. “Plus, we’re not certain that Riley is indeed mine
EUXeJ;KN Luna’s, though I am willing to treat her as our own.
“I’ll need you to show me evidence that Charlotte is your daughter. Otherwise, I won’t make the exchange.”
Taking a cigarette from his pocket, Joshua lit it up as he sported a small smile. “Mr. Simms, I’m sure you know that it
wasn’t me who wanted to find Charlotte and give her to the law enforcement-my wife’s brother, Jim, did.
Technically speaking, I shouldn’t exchange the person that he wanted, but since Riley may just be our daughter,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat’s why I am willing to take the risk. –
“If Charlotte isn’t your biological daughter, there is no reason for me to exchange. Am I not right?”
Joshua paused to take a puff of the cigarette and looked at Granny Quinn, who was behind
Quentin, adding, “Besides, I have many other methods to force you to return the child to us. I knew that you had
Riley with you, but I thought that you’d only use her as leverage when I forced Quinn’s family business to a dead
end. “I’m afraid you’ll have a hard time explaining to Granny Quinn if you don’t prove your relationship with
Charlotte.” Granny Quinn nodded her head vigorously. “That’s right, Quentin! If you can prove that Charlotte is your
biological daughter, then we won’t bother that you use Riley to exchange with her. Otherwise…” She sighed. “I
won’t be able to explain it to everyone else.” Quentin squinted.
