Ch. 1151..1160

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1151

Luna tried to struggle, but she got knocked unconscious soon after.

She found herself in an abandoned factory when she finally regained consciousness.

The leader of the men in black donned a mask, sitting opposite her, sizing her up coldly.

“You do look pretty. no wonder Joshua wanted to get engaged to you so quickly when he hasn't even recuperated, “ he remarked as he stood up and walked toward Luna.

He lifted his hand and clasped Luna's chin.

“It's already five right now. There's another hour left before the engagement ceremony begins. Say, if you don't appear during the ceremony later, would Joshua become Banyan City's laughingstock?“

The man had spritzed a thick scent of cheap cologne on him, and Luna had headaches from the smell.

She furrowed her brows and looked at the man in front of her. “Who are you?“

“You don't need to know.“ The man smiled a little. Those lecherous eyes behind the mask slowly moved down from Luna's face.

Her chin, her neck, her collarbone, further down... Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and sneered.

“Besides not letting you appear, there is a better way, “ he said in a suppressed tone. His voice was filled with desire and condescension. “Let you appear at the engagement ceremony full of marks from me. Would Joshua be even more embarrassed that way?“

Luna's eyes turned cold upon the man's words. She subconsciously tried to struggle, trying her hardest to retreat her tied-up body backward.

“Who the hell are you? If you have any feud with Joshua, find him to solve it instead. Why come at me?“

The manic in the man's eyes got even stronger looking at Luna struggling.

He smiled and slowly went closer toward Luna.

“Of course I should come to you. Who asked you to be Joshua's woman? You both are getting engaged tonight. If I don't target you, how could I make Joshua suffer?“ he sneered while reaching out to tug on Luna's collar.

Luna noticed that there was a noticeable burn scar on his right hand.

The burn scar... She seemed to have seen it somewhere before.

However, at that moment, she was so panicked that she could not recall where she saw that before.

The man seemed to have noticed Luna looking at his scar. He was instantly infuriated, slapping her squarely.

“What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone else's burn scar from young?“

Then, he used his sleeve to cover up the scar on his hand. He continued to go up against Luna violently. Luna's body was tied up, and she was forced to a corner. She could not even hide.

Rip!

Suddenly, the man used force and ripped Luna's chiffon shirt apart.

Luna's fair skin was instantly exposed in the air. “My, my, white lace.“

The man's eyes almost popped out looking at her bosom. The other men in the distance were excited, too.

Luna instinctively wanted to cover herself up with her hands, but her hands were being tied behind her back. She could not even cover herself.

The man in the mask ogled at her, almost drooling. He slowly approached her.

“No wonder Joshua liked you so much. Who knew that your amazing body looks even greater when you take your clothes off!“

Then, he was about to reach his dirty hands out to Luna.

In the nick of the moment, Luna bit her lip. An idea immediately came to her. She bit her lip and yelled, “ Stop touching me! Don't use that ugly, scarred hand of yours to touch me! “

The man had slapped her the moment she stared at his scar, so Luna deduced that the scar was where he felt the most inferior.

It was because of that, Luna decided to take a bet.

Getting beaten up was much better than getting defiled.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1152

It was just as Luna expected.

The man instantly frowned upon Luna's words. He glared at her furiously.

“So what if I have a scar? Is this scar ugly? It's not! “ Slap!

He smacked Luna brutally. “Stupid b*tch! How dare you laugh at me! “

A slap was not good enough for him, so he slapped her once more. Luna could taste blood in her mouth.

She bit her lip. Blood started seeping through the cracks of her lips. With her miserable face, she was beautiful and sultry, yet that man could no longer see her beauty. He only had rage on his mind; the rage from being despised and looked down upon!

“What use is there looking so pretty? You have a vicious heart. You should be beaten to death! “

Then, he swung his hand down on Luna again. This time, before his face could land, a piercing police siren blared out outside the warehouse. Along with the sound of sirens, there was the sound of footsteps and the shouting of police officers.

“To the people inside: you have been surrounded! I urge you to surrender quickly! If not, we'll force our way in! Let the hostage go!“

The man who was about to slap Luna paused for a while. He wanted to say something when there was a red dot in the middle of his brows. He stiffened.

The red dot...was the red pointer from a sniper!

Together with the commotion outside, the man instantly sweated profusely.

He slowly stood up with both his hands up in the air, surrendering. The red dot remained on his forehead.

The men in black were frightened almost half to death.

The man bit his lip and asked in a suppressed tone, “Is there a back door here?“

“Y—Yes, yes! “ The men in black immediately nodded. “Should we...run?“

“Duh! “

The man in the mask bit his lip as he slowly moved toward the back door. When he was by the door, he quickly found something to block him, then he ran straight for the door.

Slam!

The moment he escaped through the back door, a loud gunshot rang out behind him.

He was so frightened he almost peed his pants. He did not even dare to turn around as he frantically fled the scene with the other men in black.

Luna, who was tied up, leaned against the wall alone. She looked at the main door in confusion.

She saw the red dot a moment ago, and she also heard the gunshot. However, where was the gun?

Where was the bullet?

Also...the siren, sounds of footsteps, and the police warning had been blaring out for a very long time. Why did no one enter?

As she was in a state of confusion, the door to the warehouse opened.

Luna subconsciously turned to look, but she saw no one.

“Look down." Suddenly, a clear, child's voice rang out by the door.

Luna furrowed her brows and shifted her gaze downward. A child in a small black suit stood by the entrance. In his hand were a laser pointer and two small speakers.

He slowly approached her.

Luna's eyes widened in surprise and delight. She instinctively yelled, “Neil!?"

The child paused for a while. He smiled and walked to Luna.

“Yes, it's me."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1153

Neil walked toward Luna and slowly took his knife out. He started cutting the rope that bound her and chuckled a little.

“Although I like the name, I 'm not called Neil. I 'm Jake Landry. You should still call me Jake.“

“Okay then...Jake.“

Luna looked at Neil who was helping free her. Her emotions went from despair to surprise, to a complicated feeling.

He said that he was called Jake Landry, but he liked the name Neil. Neil was his original name.

She was seriously injured when she was pregnant, and that was why when her children were born, their health was not in good shape.

Nigel, Neil, and Nellie.

She researched those three names for a very long time. She also consulted many people. In the end, she settled on those three names.

Neil's name was the first gift she gave to him, yet, at that moment, he could not remember his own identity anymore due to memory loss.

At that thought, Luna was heartbroken.

The moment her ropes were almost untied, Luna immediately pulled Neil tightly into her arms, not saying a word.

Neil's eyes widened upon Luna's sudden hug. He instinctively struggled, but no matter what, she was an adult and he was just a six-year-old child. He could not break free.

After struggling for a few moments, Neil did not want to hurt Luna, so he could only sigh and say depressingly while she hugged him, “Ma'am, it's improper to have physical contact between men and women. Let me go.“

Luna closed her eyes, feeling the warmth from hugging her son whom she had not hugged in a very long time. She smiled.

“You're just a child. How is it improper? Stop talking, and let me hug you for a while.“

Nigel helplessly reached out and patted Luna on her back, imitating an adult trying to comfort her. “It's fine, it's fine. I've already chased the bad guys away. Don't be afraid.“

Luna's body stiffened a little, then a feeling of warmth spread through her.

No wonder Neil stopped struggling. He thought that she was hugging him because she was scared half to death by those bandits.

Luna closed her eyes and sniffled. “Yes. Thank goodness you're here.“

When she was almost defiled and bullied, she was indeed on the verge of a breakdown and in despair.

However, when Neil appeared, all of her fear and despair instantly vanished. Nothing made her happier than her long-lost son standing right in front of her, even rescuing her.

Since he already said that, Luna went with the flow, pretending to be aggrieved, hugging him tightly.

“It's all gone.“

Neil used his few go-to phrases when he comforted women to comfort Luna non-stop.

After a while, Luna's phone rang. Only then did Luna reluctantly let Neil go and answer the call.

“Hey, Anne.“

Suddenly released from Luna's hold, Neil stood in the spot, not knowing how to react. After a while, he let out a breath and silently sat next to Luna, waiting for her to finish her call.

Sitting on the chair, he could still feel the remnants o f the woman's body warmth and aroma lingering on him.

It was a type of...motherly smell.

This was the first time a woman had hugged him. Although Aura was the one that gave birth to him and brought him up, she never hugged him once.

She never gave him an ounce of warmth.

He rested his chin on his hands, looking at this woman who was putting on her clothes while on a call. He inexplicably started to envy her son and daughter. They had a mother like her, so they must have been very happy, right?

Too bad.

How great it would be if she was his mother, too. Soon after, Luna finished her call.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1154

Luna took a deep breath. She raised her gaze to look at Neil. “Do you know where are we? I have to look for my friend right now.“

Neil nodded. “My car is just outside. I can send you over.“

Then, he headed out while saying, “You're rushing to attend the engagement ceremony tonight, right?“

Luna paused for a while before catching up with him.

“Yes.“

“I saw the news of your engagement. “ Then, Neil stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Luna. “ Can I come?“

Luna was stunned as she gazed at Neil in front of her. “You...want to come to the engagement ceremony? “

“Mmh.“ Neil nodded. “I heard that you need an invitation to attend the ceremony, so can you give me an invitation? I want to just have a look around and eat.“

Luna was silent for a while. After seeing Neil, she was immensely delighted that she almost forgot she needed to ask him something.

“Jake.“

She walked to Neil and took an invitation out from her bag and passed it to him. “I welcome you to our engagement ceremony.“

No matter what, Neil was her's and Joshua's son.

Although their marriage was fake, when Neil returned to her, she did not hope that only Nigel and Nellie had this experience but Neil did not have it.

Also, Nigel and Nellie were going to the ceremony that night, too. It was time for Nigel and Nellie to meet Neil.

After passing him the invitation, Luna bent down and met his gaze. Her eyes were stern.

“A week ago, I saw you at the beach. What are you doing there that night?“

That night, all the signs pointed to Neil. When Joshua woke up, no matter how she asked, Joshua kept the incident that night a secret. He just would not tell anyone.

Neil looked at Luna. “Is what I did that night really important?“

Luna pursed her lips and said seriously, “Very important.“

Neil took a deep breath. “I don't want to tell you. When it's time for you to know, you'll hear about it naturally. What I can tell you is that...“

His gaze was fixed at Luna. “I'm not a bad child.“ Then, Neil strode out of the warehouse.

Looking at Neil's back, Luna bit her lip. Of course, she believed that he was not a bad child. However, the truth was right in front of her. She had too many questions that needed answers.

“Come on. Aren't you in a rush?“ Neil urged from outside the warehouse.

Luna took a deep breath before chasing after him. Outside the warehouse was the same Bendley that Luna hitched a ride before the previous time.

When she entered the car, she intuitively looked at the driver's seat. The driver was not Theo.

Luna paused for a while before turning to look at Neil. “You changed your driver?"

“Mmh." Neil nodded. “Uncle Theo isn't well. He can't be my driver anymore, so we changed."

“Where did he go?"

“Uncle Theo... " Neil was silent for a while. “Uncle Theo went back to his hometown."

Luna's heart instantly sank upon Neil's reply.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1155

Theo's hometown was very far away. If Theo was truly free, that he was going to leave Banyan City, he would definitely contact her. He would not leave without saying goodbye.

Also, Nathan and Celeste left Banyan City not long ago. She even especially went to see them. Both of them were still in grief at Theo's passing, not knowing that Theo was alive.

Thus...

Neil saying that Theo went back to his hometown was just an excuse. At that moment, Theo must be suffering.

If Theo was doing well, Neil would outright say where he was and what he was doing. He would not use the excuse of going back to his hometown as a cover.

At that thought, Luna's heart ached terribly. She turned and asked Neil, “Then...are you still in contact with him? Is he doing well?“

Neil paused for a while and looked at Luna confusedly. He did not understand why this woman would suddenly care for Uncle Theo. It was Uncle Theo that had a crush on her, but why was she suddenly concerned for him?

However, Neil still answered her question seriously, “Uncle Theo is still in contact with me. He's doing well. If you're thinking of him, I'll send him your regards the next time I contact him.“

Upon hearing what Neil said, Luna's heart that was in suspense was finally relieved. She took a deep breath and smiled at Neil. “Thank you.“

Neil paused for a while. He could not help but look at her. “Aren't you getting engaged tonight? Caring for two men...is inappropriate.“

Luna was silent for a while, then she could not help but laugh out loud. Even if Neil lost his memory and became even colder and aloof than before, he still could not change his habit of nagging at her.

He did not look like a six-year-old child at all.

Soon, the car arrived at Cherry Snow Gowns where Anne and Luna agreed to meet.

From the distance, Luna noticed Anne waiting for her anxiously by the entrance. Luna turned and bade Neil goodbye. “This is it.“

Neil nodded. He looked at the bruise on Luna's face caused by the masked man a moment ago. “Put some makeup on. You have to look beautiful tonight.“

Luna smiled. “Hmm, I'll see you tonight.“

“Hold on, “ Neil called after her just as Luna prepared to get out of the car.

Luna furrowed her brows and turned around.

“I...“ Neil looked at her once more, and he hesitated. After a while, he took a deep breath and said, “I hope you remember that I'm not a bad child.“

Then, Neil took a deep breath and closed the car door. The Bendley sped off.

Luna remained in the same spot. Her heartfelt as if a piece of it was missing.

“Didn't you say you hailed a taxi over?" Seeing Luna standing there in a daze, Anne immediately rushed over and watched as the Bendley left. “This is the taxi you took? It's a little too luxurious, isn't it?"

Luna came to her senses. She helplessly rolled her eyes at Anne, then headed to the gown shop.

“Come on, we're late."

Anne was stunned before chasing after Luna. “Where did you go just now? Joshua called me previously. I didn't dare tell him that you're not there yet. I told him you were trying on gowns..."

An hour later, Luna's car finally arrived at the entrance of the engagement ceremony.

Anne helped lift the train of Luna's gown while walking forward.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1156

Anne furrowed her brows and said, “Luna, who the hell kidnapped you? You said that he kept mentioning Joshua. He should be one of Joshua's enemies and wanted to use this opportunity to embarrass Joshua.

“But, Joshua's power in Banyan City has been solidified for many years. No one would dare to do anything to him nor dare touch any of his people, so who in the world kidnapped you?“

Luna furrowed her brows and shook her head. “I'm not sure either. I—“

Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed three people in front of her.

Adrian, Celia, and Michael. Adrian and Celia were dressed up to the nines like they were the parents of the main star of the night.

However, Michael, next to them...

He looked rather disheveled in his suit. He was walking and tying his tie at the same time. He clearly came in a rush. He had just donned his suit, too.

Luna could not help but furrow her brows.

For the past few days, every time she saw them, the three of them were always together, as if they were one entity, so why did they not leave together that day?

Just when Luna was looking at Michael, he coincidentally turned over to look. Their eyes met.

Michael frantically moved his gaze away and lifted his hands to tidy himself up.

The moment he lifted his hands, Luna clearly saw a huge burn scar on his right hand. She shuddered.

Noticing that something was off with Luna, Anne quickly came over and asked in concern, “What's going on?“

Luna looked at the backs of the family of three. She narrowed her eyes a little. “It's nothing.“ She roughly had an idea who had kidnapped her.

“Luna, Anne! “

Bonnie, who had been waiting at the entrance in the distance for a long time, rolled her eyes and strode over. Together with Anne, they helped with Luna's gown.

“What are you standing by the door for? Joshua has been waiting for you two inside for a long time! “

Luna came to her senses and immediately followed Anne and Bonnie into the venue.

At the innermost corner of the venue, Joshua was quietly seated at a table with Nellie and Nigel sitting next to him. He was elegantly skinning oranges for Nellie, and the table already had a pile of oranges.

Upon seeing Luna, Joshua and the children looked up at the same time.

“Luna.“

“Mommy! “

Although Luna was already used to Joshua's

handsome face, the moment he lifted his head to look at her, her heart still skipped a beat.

His gaze was still deep and cold. It was so sharp and arrogant that it could see through her thoughts.

Back then, she fell in love with him at first sight because of that face and those pair of eyes. She fell in love with him so deeply that there was no way back.

At that moment, even if it was just a fake engagement, her heart still could not help but skip a beat when she saw him in a white suit, looking at her affectionately.

“What happened to you?“ Joshua narrowed his eyes. His acute observation realized that some parts of her face have thicker makeup than the rest of her face. It was as if she was covering some sort of blemish.

Combining how he could not get through her for a period previously and also how Anne stuttered when he called her, Joshua furrowed his brows tightly. His expressions instantly darkened.

Feeling Joshua's gaze, Luna immediately turned her face around. “It's fine.“

Joshua squinted as he then turned to look at Anne. “ Has she really been trying out gowns with you just now?“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1157

Joshua's gaze was too cold. Too frigid.

Anne was scared half to death by his gaze. She immediately hid behind Luna, not even able to formulate words properly. “I... Luna...she... She's always been with me.“

Joshua smiled and looked at Anne who was behind Luna, then he looked at Luna calmly. “Didn't you two discuss how you were going to explain to me before coming over?“

Then, Joshua looked at Lucas, by the side, flatly, “Go get me two bottles of makeup remover.“

Anne was instantly in a daze at his words. Makeup remover?

Anne subconsciously looked at Luna's face. Her bruises were covered well, so how did Joshua notice?

Luna furrowed her brows and stopped Lucas, shooting Joshua a helpless gaze. “Are you really going to ask me to take off my makeup here?“

Joshua narrowed his eyes. “I just don't like it that your makeup is too thick.“

Luna took a deep breath. Of course, she knew that Joshua wanted her to remove her makeup not only because her makeup was too thick.

Luna went in closer to him and said in a suppressed tone, “I don't want to make a big deal out of it. Don't forget our true purpose tonight.“

She could deal with Michael later on. The main point that night was Aura. Luna thought that Aura would most probably find a way to appear that night to ruin their engagement ceremony. Therefore, she got Joshua's men to standby at all of the entrances.

Whether Aura pretended to be a guest or a staff member, the guards at the entrance would immediately recognize her.

By then, they would seize Aura. Once Aura was caught, Neil and Theo's life would not be in danger anymore. As long as they found them, it was only a matter of regaining Neil's memory.

It was because of that, Luna did not even bother about her being kidnapped. The first thing she thought of after coming out of the abandoned warehouse was to rush over to the engagement ceremony.

Joshua narrowed his eyes and looked at Luna. “Do you think I can't help you with this while looking for Aura at the same time? Are you underestimating me or overestimating others?“

Then, Joshua calmly glanced at Adrian and his family in the distance. Coincidentally, he met with Michael's apprehensive gaze at Luna.

When Michael met with Joshua's gaze, a hint of panic flashed across his eyes. He immediately looked

away, not daring to meet his gaze. Joshua sneered. Actually, he had already guessed it.

At that moment, the only person who could do anything to Luna, to try to stop her from getting to the engagement ceremony to get engaged to him... Besides Aura, it was only Michael.

Joshua rolled his wheelchair and soon reached Adrian and Michael.

Seeing Joshua going up to Michael, Luna panicked a little and immediately went after.

“Joshua.“

Seeing Joshua coming over, Adrian smiled at him normally. “I've thought it through. Who you marry and how you marry is your own personal affairs. I shouldn't intervene, so don't worry. Tonight, your Aunty Celia and I aren't here to cause any trouble. We came here to wish you well.“

Joshua sneered. “Is that so?“ He swept a glance at Michael's miserably white face.

“You attacked my fiancée before the ceremony, then you attended the ceremony to wish us well?“

Michael's face lost all of its colors. Adrian frowned hard and subconsciously protected Michael behind him.

“Joshua, what nonsense are you talking about? Michael had been with us together the entire day. Since when did he attack Luna?“

Then, he turned to look at Luna.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1158

“Tell me, did you see Michael do anything inappropriate to you?“

Luna narrowed her eyes.

Adrian's reaction... It was obvious that he knew what Michael had done, or he would not have defended him like that. The fact that Adrian asked Luna that was because he was sure that when Michael kidnapped Luna that time, he was wearing a mask.

At that thought, Luna felt chills running down her spine.

Adrian would indulge in his illegitimate son kidnapping his other son's fiancée, yet still insisted that he was in the right.

Was this type of person actually Joshua's biological father?

“That's enough, enough.“ Celia immediately came to soothe the situation. “Today is Joshua and Luna's happy day; don't fight because of small matters.

Let's not mention that Michael did anything to Luna.

Even if he really did something...as long as Luna isn't hurt, it's fine. Just treat it as a joke between family members.“

Then, Celia smiled at Luna. “Your makeup is gorgeous! “

Luna narrowed her eyes and said nothing. If she was not the main star of that night, she wanted to remove her makeup on the spot and point at her

bruises where she was beaten, then ask Celia if this was truly a joke between relatives.

Joshua narrowed his eyes and laughed.

“Who said we're family?“ Then, Joshua immediately took his phone out. “Lucas, send them off.“

Adrian instantly frowned. “Joshua, how dare you! “

His voice was not soft, which attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Luna furrowed her brows and immediately pulled Joshua's hand. “Forget about it.“

“Why? Are you just going to ease off about your injuries, the bruises you received?“

Joshua narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Michael. “If you want me to let it go, sure. Hit yourself right now like how you hit Luna. If not...“

Joshua suppressed his tone. He exuded an aura so strong that it was suffocating.

“I'll make sure that the three of you will never be able to step a foot into Banyan City ever again.“

Adrian furrowed his brows. “How dare you? I'm your father! “

“A father that never gave me an ounce of affection. A father that only criticizes everything I do in life, even indulging in his illegitimate son to harm my fiancée.“

Joshua met Adrian's gaze fearlessly. “I'd rather not have a father like that! “ Joshua's tone was resounding and forceful.

The entire venue was instantly silenced. Everyone held their breath as they looked their way.

Father and son, going up against each other during an engagement ceremony, was a live theatre in the making!

Andrian clenched his fists tightly. His old, hoarse voice trembled a little. “Joshua, no matter what, I was the father who gave you life!”

Joshua sneered. “You only gave birth to me- you didn’t bring me up. What sort of father are you?”

What Joshua said silenced the entire crowd once again.

Suddenly, the main entrance to the venue opened. Neil, in a black suit carrying an electronic tablet, slowly walked in.

“How exciting, but I have to ask you, Mr. Lynch. You said that the person who only gave birth to you but didn’t bring you was not worthy to be a father, but when my mother gave birth to me back then, you forced her to leave, and you’re now getting engaged to another woman…”

“Are you a worthy father, then?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1159

Neil's appearance caused an uproar at the venue.

Everyone had seen Luna and Joshua's son before, and that was Nigel.

At that moment, Nigel, in a suit, was sitting in the corner, just as stunned as everyone else as he looked over.

“Nigel, it's Neil.“

Nellie bit her lip and carefully grabbed Nigel's hand. Nigel lifted his head and coincidentally met with Neil's gaze.

Both of them looked at each other in the distance through the crowd.

The crowd looked at the boy at the entrance, then they looked at Nigel, who was sitting on the sofa.

The both of them looked exactly alike! Not only did they look alike, but they were also dressed alike, and with a bow tie, even. It was like a mirror image!

However...

The boy just said that Joshua abandoned his mother and got engaged to another woman?

Amid the stunned gaze of the crowd, Neil took a deep breath and carried the tablet in his hands, walking to the stage situated in the middle of the venue.

Joshua and Luna's photo had been placed on the stage.

Neil furrowed his brows. He picked the photo up and threw it on the floor. Then, he placed his tablet on the table, efficiently connected his tablet to the projection screen.

Then, Neil looked at Luna and Joshua deeply as he picked up the microphone.

“Everyone might be curious who I am and why I 'm suddenly here, why I look like Luna and Joshua's son, Nigel. That is because...“

Nigel lifted his head and looked at the crowd.

“I 'm the son of Joshua and Luna's younger sister, Aura.“

The entire crowd was in an uproar!

Luna was so stunned she almost fell over. She grabbed the back of Joshua's wheelchair tightly to maintain her composure, to not let herself fall over.

She knew that Neil had lost her memory and that Neil could not remember who she was nor his own identity.

However, she did not expect that Neil would think that he was the son of Joshua and Aura!

He would think that Aura was his mother!

Feeling Luna on the verge of breaking down behind him, Joshua narrowed his eyes. He looked at Neil on stage seriously, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.

Previously, he was still curious. Even if Neil had lost his memory, he was still a smart kid. Why would he think that looking exactly like Nigel was a coincidence? Also, why would he obey every word Aura said?

It was until that moment only then did he finally understood.

Aura had forged Neil's identity, making Neil her son that she had with him.

This identity cleverly explained why Nigel and Neil looked alike. It would also make Neil wholeheartedly do things for Aura.

It was indeed a smart answer.

However...

Joshua turned to look at Luna, who was miserably pale. He held her hand tightly.

Neil, on stage, continued, “I'm sure everyone knew this. Back then, when Luna left, my mother, Aura, got engaged to Joshua. She had been his fiancée for almost five years. The only reason he had to get engaged with my mother is that at that time, my mother had already gotten pregnant with me."

A burst of murmurs and gasps resonated once more at Neil's words.

Neil spoke logically and clearly as he explained the incident in the past with a cold expression.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1160

“That's right. Joshua, the scumbag, had an affair with my mother while being married to Luna.

“Later on, that jerk schemed to hurt Luna, causing her to meet in an accident and die. Then, he turned around to get engaged with my mother. He coaxed and cheated her to get engaged with him.

“Also, he told the public that it was Luna who had an affair and she killed herself because she was guilty about it. He even forged Luna's will, letting my mother think that Luna killed herself and writing in her will for her to get married to Joshua. That was why she willingly became Joshua's fiancée.

“I'm sure all of you know what happened next. My mother became the fiancée without any status for five years. It was until when Luna returned to Banyan City with her two children once more, Joshua was suddenly sick of my mother. He colluded with Luna to send my mother to the mental asylum. In the end, they forced her to quit the entertainment industry and leave the country.“

Everyone was so shocked at Neil's words that they were rendered speechless.

It was because...what Neil said seemed to be true about Luna's accident back then, the will, and also about how when Luna's body was not found yet, he got engaged to Aura.

Also, later on, Aura had been admitted to the mental asylum, was forced to quit the entertainment industry, and had to leave the country.

They did not know whether Joshua did that, but they knew that those objective facts existed!

The crowd looked at Neil on the stage, then they looked at Luna and Joshua in the distance. They could not help but discuss in hushed tones.

“Are you sure? All these years, Joshua had the character of a person deeply devoted to his wife. How could he do such things...?“

“Still, what the kid is saying is true, too.“

“Also, look at him. He looked exactly like Joshua's other son. He must be Joshua's! “

“This is terrifying! Who would've thought that Joshua was this sort of person...“

The discussions among the crowd ebbed and flowed. Joshua narrowed his eyes tightly.

He looked at Neil coldly. If the person on stage accusing him publicly was not his son, he would get his men to kick him away. However, Neil was his, and he could not bear to do it.

This should be one of Aura's tactics too, was it not?

At that moment, Neil turned on the projection which was always shut. The projection whirred to life.

Aura's reddened eyes and puffy face from crying appeared on the screen.

“Everyone, I'm currently outside Joshua and Luna's engagement ceremony. Although I know I have no right to enter, I still want to go in. I want to see for

myself how the man I used to love gets engaged with my beloved sister, but...“

Aura wiped away her tears while crying to the camera.

“I can't even enter. They said that I can't enter because I don't have an invitation. I reached out to my sister and Joshua for an invitation. I promised

them again and again that I won't cause any trouble nor embarrass them, but they still didn't give me an invitation.

“So, I could only record this video outside of the hotel, expressing my wishes to them.
