Ch. 1161..1170

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1161

The moment Aura knelt, chaos broke out. Everyone gazed at the sobbing woman on the screen, discussing among themselves in hushed tones.

Luna shuddered a little.

Aura was lying. Although the ceremony that night was strict, no one could enter without an invitation, but...

Luna had already made sure the bodyguards were familiar with Aura's face. As long as Aura appeared, they would immediately recognize her.

Whether it was the front entrance or back door, no one informed about Aura appearing since the beginning of the ceremony.

This woman did not even go close to the venue. She only filmed herself being near the venue, asking for pity!

What Aura said about Joshua or Luna not giving her an invitation was not true at all!

Luna always thought that Aura would personally come to the ceremony to cause trouble, but she never expected that Aura would not appear, that only a recording of her would.

Luna was the one that personally gave Neil, the one who brought the recording in, the invitation!

She lifted her head and looked at Neil on stage.

He was holding the microphone, together with Aura in the recording, accusing Joshua of being a scumbag, accusing her and Joshua of treating Aura cruelly.

Luna's heart pounded vehemently. It was hard for her to imagine that this kid was her son, Neil.

Neil, the child who a few hours ago smartly rescued her from Michael, telling her that he was not a bad child.

He believed every lie Aura said. Not only did he believe her, but he even became her spokesperson!

“Luna.“ Joshua's low voice rang in her ears. He looked at her miserably pale face. “Neil doesn't remember us, that's all.“

Luna sniffled and held her tears back.

She knew that Neil did not remember them. She also knew that Neil must have really believed that Aura was his mother, and that was why he did such

things. However, she was his biological mother. Looking at her son becoming a person like that, she could not accept it. She truly could not.

Just when Luna was on the verge of breaking down, Michael, who had been silent all this while, finally stood up.

He furrowed his brows and looked at Neil on stage, “ Dude, you said that Luna and Joshua forced your mother out of Banyan City. Do you have any proof?“

“Yes, “ sighed Neil. He then revealed evidence on his tablet.

“Everyone, these are evidence of Mr. Lynch and Ms. Luna's good friend, Ms. Craig, sending men to search for us in Banyan City. From the evidence, you

could see that they've already extensively searched through Banyan City five to six times. The only reason is to find out where my mother and I are staying, then chase us away.

“This is solid evidence. If you don't believe me, those who own hotels or have been staying in one recently, think back carefully. Have your rooms or hotels been inspected before?“

Upon Neil's words, the few hoteliers there slapped their heads.

“Yes, we were inspected before! “

“At that time, they said they were looking for a criminal. They didn't say it was a woman and a child! “

“Yes. I find that the inspections have been quite frequent recently...“

The crowd discussed among themselves, and the sounds of the discussion gradually got louder.

Michael finally could not help but cross his arms and sneered.

“Who would have thought? Mr. Lynch might look like a righteous person, yet he would do such things in secret. “Searching through the city for a woman and a child, just to chase them away? Also, not willing to give them an invitation, forbidding her to enter...“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1162

“Joshua Lynch, what on earth are you afraid of?”

Michael walked up the stage and took the microphone in Neil’s hands. He mocked, “Are you afraid that people would know that besides Nigel and Nellie, you have another illegitimate son?

“Or, are you afraid that once Aura and her son turn up, they’d expose how you harmed Luna back then, then wasted five years of Aura’s life, only to abandon her in the end?”

Michael harrumphed coldly and pointed at Joshua below the stage. “You’re a scumbag! A b*stard! How could the Lynch Group be in the hands of someone like you? It’s a disgrace to the Lynch family!”

Joshua smiled and gracefully leaned back on his wheelchair. His deep gaze looked at Michael on stage calmly.

“I’m not fit to be the president of the Lynch Group or manage it… but you are?”

Michael harrumphed coldly. “At least I’m no dirtbag! I’m clean!”

Joshua sneered. “Yes, you are clean.”

He then raised his gaze and looked at the man with an arrogant expression on stage, holding the microphone. The man that was supposed to be his young brother.

“Should I list out the things you did abroad? Do you want me to tell everyone how many women you abandoned or how many women had an abortion because of you? Should I let everyone know how clean and innocent you are?”

Joshua's tone was ice cold, yet resounding and powerful.

At that instant, the entire venue was silent.

Michael, still on the stage and the mic still at hand, felt his blood froze.

How was that possible?

How did Joshua know about those things? No. Impossible! Joshua barely knew him for a week. How could he know about those things he did abroad?

Joshua must be lying! He must be trying to trick him!

At that thought, Michael was emboldened. He looked at Joshua coldly. “What nonsense are you talking about? I'm still a virgin! “

Upon his words, the quiet venue had sounds of muffled laughter.

Adrian helplessly rubbed the middle of his brows. How did he bring up such an idiotic son?

“Virgin?“ Joshua laughed a little. He accepted the documents from Lucas.

“When you were fifteen, you got punished by the school for taking advantage of  a female  classmate.

“Eighteen years old. You just came of age when you got your girlfriend, Jenny Crown, pregnant. You gave her five hundred dollars to abort the baby, and you went missing, never to appear in front of her  again

After reading a few lines, Joshua lifted his gaze and looked at Michael. “Is this the clean and innocent you mention?"

Michael's face lost all of its colors. Looking at how his son could not find a way to resolve the matter, Adrian anxiously walked to the front of the stage.

“Joshua, even if you proved that Michael is not a virgin and has abandoned women before, it's nowhere near to what you've done! Don't think that you can escape this by reprimanding Michael!"

Then, Adrian took a deep breath, turned to look at Neil by the side.

“Your claims are baseless without any proof. Little child, where is your mother?"

“At the parking lot outside."

“Order. Someone got Aura here from the parking lot outside! As Joshua's father, I have to weed out the bad seed of the Lynch family!"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1163

Adrian's men soon brought in Aura.

Aura wiped her tears as she was brought in. She slowly headed toward the stage. Aura was still in the same clothes as she recorded the video, dressed in white. Her knee-area was stained with dirt from kneeling a moment ago.

The fabric around her knees was also somewhat torn. The tears on her pants around her knees made one think back about how pitiful she looked when she knelt on the ground, begging Luna and Joshua to let her go.

The crowd bemoaned.

Luna stood in the same spot, looking at how Aura was escorted in. She felt as if a huge hand was squeezing her heart tightly over and over again. It was sufferable.

Before the ceremony that day, Luna had already expected that Fiona would show up. That was why she thought of all the ways, including keeping watch on the entrances tightly, checking through each and every staff member.

Luna thought the stricter she was, the more anxious Aura would want to enter to wreak havoc.

However, she never would have expected that...

Because she was kidnapped by Michael, that was why she met Neil.

Because she met Neil, she gave him an invitation.

Thus, Neil took her invitation and entered the ceremony openly. Not only did he bring the video of Aura accusing them and twisting the truth in, but he invited her in through Adrian's agitation.

Luna thought that it was ironic. She had already made all precautions, only to let her own people openly invite Aura in.

“Hello, sister.“ When Aura was next to Luna, she stopped in her tracks. She lifted her head and looked at Luna, her eyes still red and puffy. “I've prepared a gift for you.“

Aura took out a small box from her bag and placed it in Luna's hands.

“You have to open and have a look.“

Luna furrowed her brows, remaining in the same spot, not moving.

She was not Aura's sister. She did not want her gifts!

“Luna, today is your engagement day. Aren't you going to accept my gift?“ Aura took a deep breath, and her tears fell uncontrollably.

“Luna, I... I really am here to wish you well. You and Joshua had done so many things to us, including searching for me and Jake. I won't mind at all. If I did, I wouldn't have attended your engagement ceremony...“

The crowd was discussing in hushed tones once again at Aura's words. What they said made Luna blush and turn pale.

She knew that Aura was lying, but she could not expose Aura. She had no proof.

If she said it out, both of them would only be reprimanding and pointing fingers at each other. It was pointless.

Also, at that moment, in Neil's eyes, Aura was his biological mother. If Luna were to argue with Aura there, it would only cause a further misunderstanding with Neil.

“Luna.“

At that moment, Aura lifted her teary gaze.

“I have prepared this gift a long time ago. If you're not going to accept it...“ Aura sniffed. “I can only get the servant with the surname Allen to throw it away.“

Luna shuddered violently upon Aura's words.

The servant with the surname Allen? Aura was hinting at Theo! Luna bit her lip, forcefully suppressed the emotions in her heart, and walked over.

The box Aura gave her was very light. There seemed to be only a few pieces of paper in them.

Once Luna accepted the box, Aura smiled at her. “ Luna, you have to open it here. There is a memento for you as well as my letter to you. If you don't read it, I'm afraid you might regret it in the future.“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1164

Then, Aura turned around and continued heading toward the stage.

Luna remained in the same spot, clutching the box tightly with both hands.

Some came over and tried to have a look at the contents of the box. Luna furrowed her brows. She turned around and walked toward Neil and Nellie.

Neil and Nellie understood Luna's intentions. They immediately covered her on each side. The moment Luna opened the box, she could clearly see Aura, who was already on the stage, smiling flirtatiously at her.

Luna gnawed on her lip and opened the box. Her instincts were right. The things in the box had to do with Theo. It was a few photos of Neil and Theo.

There were photos of them lying in a pool of blood at the scene of the explosion. There were also photos of them lying in the hospital bed with pale faces.

Also...

There was a photo of Neil kneeling on the ground, hugging his head, looking like he was suffering terribly. In front of him, a few pieces of paper were placed on the ground with scrawny handwriting, ( Neil].

In the photo, there was also a line of Aura's handwritten note, (This is him trying hard to recall his memories.]

Luna's pupils constricted as she subconsciously looked at Neil on the stage. He was obediently standing next to Aura.

Luna gritted her teeth.

Neil had always said that he liked his name, Neil. She thought that it was because he truly liked it, even if he lost his memories, he still liked the name.

She did not expect that...

Even if Neil lost his memory, the first thing that he remembered was the name she gave him. Luna's heart throbbed viciously. It was heart -wrenching.

She took a deep breath and continued looking at the other photos. The other photos were of Neil suffering.

Later on, the photos were of Theo with a bleeding and bruised face, tied up in a dingy basement.

Photo after photo. It was terrifying. Luna's hands started trembling violently. Theo...

He was a genius artist, but at that moment, he was a disheveled, dirty-looking man. He did not look like the artist he once was.

Luna blamed herself. It was all her fault.

After looking through all the photos, there was a letter at the end. Luna opened the letter.

On it was Aura's neat handwriting.

(Luna, you saw it right. These two people's lives are in my hands. I 'm sure you know how painful it was when Fiona sent men to crush your finger, right?

Theo is an artist, and without his fingers, his life will be ruined.

(I am now demanding that you have to do what I say next. If not, I'll crush Theo's finger one each day.

When all ten of his fingers are crushed, I'll do it to Neil. If you don't believe me, I dare you to try it.]

Luna gritted hard upon reading the letter. She angrily lifted her head and met Aura's smiling gaze.

“Since Luna has already finished going through my gift, I should wish her right now."

Aura looked at Luna's face and enunciated. “I want to congratulate my sister, Luna, on getting engaged to the Second Young Master of the Lynch family, Michael Lynch."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1165

The entire venue fell silent.

Everyone thought they had misheard Aura. Even Adrian, who was standing next to Aura, could not help but furrowed his brows. He softly reminded, “Ms. Gibson, you're wrong. Today's engagement is between Luna and my elder son, Joshua. My younger son, Michael, is still single...“

Then, Adrian looked at Michael and added, “Also a virgin.“

Aura smiled. “I 'm not wrong.“ She raised her brows and looked at Luna, whose knuckles were white from clutching the box tightly.

“I'm congratulating my sister Luna on her engagement with the Lynch family's Second Young Master, Michael Lynch. Luna, am I right?“

Luna was rooted on the spot, her mind overtaken in a storm. She could not forget what was written in the letter she was clutching.

However, she did not expect that the thing Aura wanted her to obey was to openly admit that she was engaged to Michael!

Luna bit her lip and turned to look at Michael behind Aura.

Although he and Joshua had the same father, whether it was his aura or his looks, it was worlds apart.

Joshua had a naturally arrogant and regal aura.

Michael had none. What he had was Adrian's lecherous, perverted look, also the self-entitled confidence, so much so that an hour or two ago, Michael even kidnapped her and had ill-intentions toward her in the abandoned warehouse!

However, at that moment, Aura used Theo and Neil, forcing Luna to admit that she was getting engaged to Michael!

Luna gritted her teeth. Theo and Neil were all she could  think of,  so she could  only stiffly nod. “Yes.“

Mayhem broke out among the guests as everyone frantically shot murmurs among themselves lowly.

All of them came clearly to attend Luna and Joshua's engagement. The invitation was written by Joshua and Luna. The photos shown all around the venue were of Joshua and Luna, too.

All of a sudden, Aura said that the engagement ceremony that day was for Luna and Adrian's illegitimate son, Michael?

More importantly, Luna actually admitted to it herself?

While everyone was stunned, they could not help but look at Joshua who was in the wheelchair by the side.

Joshua was sitting in the wheelchair, his hands gripping the sides of the wheelchair tightly.

Joshua was a smart person. How could he not know that this was part of Aura's schemes?

If he guessed correctly, the so-called gift box in Luna's hand should be filled with things that had to do with Neil and Theo, something that Aura could

threaten Luna with.

Joshua narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze at Luna in the distance.

There was once where Luna would come to him immediately for help, no matter what problem she encountered.

When they just got married, Luna was so reliant on Joshua that he thought she was an idiot who could not solve any problems on her own.

However, at that very moment, when Luna was facing Aura's threats, not only did Luna not look to Joshua for help, but she did not even plan to discuss this with him.

She took it all on her own. She was indirectly saying that she would bear all the grievances and protect Neil and Theo.

However, Joshua knew that even if Luna did not obey Aura that day, Aura would not dare to do anything to Neil and Theo. After all, both of them were the only remaining cards she could play with.

Luna cared too much for them, so much so that she did not even bother considering his thoughts and how she was about to get hurt. She immediately agreed to Aura's demands.

“Sir...“ When the crowd was looking at Joshua in an unfriendly look, Lucas asked softly, “Should I clear the area?“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1166

If they did not stop this, things would get out of control.

Joshua was the one that prepared the ceremony that night. There were Joshua's men everywhere. As long as he gave the order, whether it be Adrian or Aura, no one could do anything to him.

What right did all those people have to look at Joshua that way?

Joshua looked at Lucas calmly. “If I were to clear the area right now, people might think I got infuriated because I was embarrassed.“

Lucas was stunned. He pursed his lips and stopped talking.

“Who said I'm getting engaged with Luna?“ On stage, Michael glared at Aura angrily. Then, he glared at Luna.

“I've never once said...“

“Michael.“ Aura flatly interrupted him. She sounded rather delighted. “Don't you want to bring such a pretty woman like Luna back home? She's a famous jewelry designer. The Lynch Group has business in the jewelry market. If you were to be together, both of you would be able to grow the Lynch Group's jewelry market together in the future as a couple. “

Michael was stunned at Aura's words. He looked at Luna in a daze. Such a pretty lady with such an amazing figure...

He recalled back to the voluptuous and fair body Luna had in the warehouse previously. How soft it was to touch...

Michael secretly swallowed his saliva.

Michael did not understand the subtext of Aura's words, but Adrian understood it clearly. Aura was hinting that if Michael married Luna, he would have control over the fate of the Lynch Group's jewelry company!

At that thought, Adrian immediately pulled Michael forward. “Michael, you remembered wrongly. Today is your engagement with Luna.“

Michael paused for a while. He finally took a deep breath. “Yes, yes, yes. Today...is my engagement with Luna! “

He chuckled and looked at the crowd below the stage.

“The wedding planner mixed it up. They only knew that there was a Young Master of the Lynch family, but they didn't know I existed! They mixed up the name and the person! I 'm the one supposed to get engaged to Luna today! “

Then, he sheepishly looked at Luna below the stage. At that moment, she was in a blue jeweled gown. She looked extremely tall and slender, and her aura was outstanding. She was much more seductive compared to when he kidnapped her!

“Yeah, that's right! “

Aura chuckled a little. She looked at the frigid Luna below the stage. “Luna, you and Michael are the main star tonight. Michael is already on stage, so what are you still waiting for? Come up."

Luna paused for a while. She finally took a deep breath and walked to the stage. The short journey up the stage was extremely tormenting to Luna.

She could feel the burning gaze of the man in the wheelchair in the distance. She knew that he must be furious at that moment, but she had no choice.

Theo and Neil's safety was even more important. She walked up on stage and picked up the microphone stiffly.

“Thank you for coming to the engagement ceremony between...Michael and I."

The entire crowd was in an uproar once more.

This was the drama of the century! Brothers could easily be swapped during the engagement ceremony!

“Luna, you and Michael are so in love with each other. Now that you're engaged..."

Aura smiled and turned to look at Luna.

“To prove that you both love each other, why don't you give each other a kiss?"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1167

Luna instantly tensed.

This was bullying! It crossed the line!

Luna forcefully bearing through it and playing along to Aura's disgusting act, pretending that she was engaged to Michael, was already her limit!

How dare Aura asked her to kiss Michael in front of Joshua and her three kids? In front of all these people who were clearly there to watch a show and make a joke out of Joshua?

She could not do it!

However, Michael, on the other hand, was excited. He took a huge step forward and smiled at Luna pervertedly.

“My dear fiancée, since Ms. Gibson wants to see, let's show her. Anyway, it's only a matter of time.“

He slowly approached Luna. The cheap cologne smell made Luna's head hurt once more.

She subconsciously retreated backward before Aura stopped her.

Aura smiled and looked at her. “Luna, Michael wants to kiss you. Why are you backing out? Don't you want to kiss him?“

Aura smiled. “If you're not willing to kiss him, why did you agree to get engaged to him?“

Luna gritted her teeth. She turned to look at Aura. Yes, she was not willing to do this. She did not want to get engaged to Michael, what more to kiss him!

If it were not for Theo and Neil, she would not have come on stage and played along to such a disgusting act.

“Why? Do you think that Theo and Neil have too many fingers?“ Aura threatened in a suppressed tone. “Why don't I get someone to find the hammer

that was used to smash your fingers to smash theirs as well. What do you say? Or would you prefer that their fingers were smashed into smaller pieces?“

Luna's blood instantly froze. She bit her lip so hard, and her entire body started to tremble.

The pain of her finger being crushed back then, no one knew it better than her.

She could not let Neil or Theo suffer the same way!

At that thought, she took a deep breath. She could only close her eyes and wait for Michael's kiss with a pale face.

However, she waited for a very long time, but the smell of cheap cologne did not come closer.

Luna furrowed her brows and opened her eyes.

In front of her, Michael had his arms crossed around his chest. He was looking coquettish. “My dear fiancée, why did you avoid me when I tried to kiss you just now? I'm not going to kiss you now. I'll wait for you to kiss me.“

Then, he reached out his hand with the burn scar and pointed at his pockmarked face.

“Here, kiss me here.“

Luna clenched her fists tightly. Not only did Michael look disgusting, but his ways were also equally despicable! He knew that she was forced to and threatened. He could have refused. Not only did he agree to do it, but he also helped Aura, the enemy, making things difficult for her!

“Kiss him, dear sister."

Aura laughed while leading the crowd to cheer them on, “Don't you want to see them kiss?"

Initially, the crowd was still apprehensive of Joshua's authority. They did not dare speak.

However, when they saw how Joshua had not reacted for a long time, the urge to see how the event unfolds slowly took over them.

Thus, the crowd started cheering.

“Kiss him!" “Kiss him! " “Kiss, kiss!"

Standing on the stage, Luna felt as if she was punched in the head. It hurt, and she was lost. Even her footsteps started to feel light.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1168

The people below the stage were no longer human. They were demons.

Luna looked at the stage below. Among the crowd was Joshua, sitting in his wheelchair with a cold gaze, looking at what was happening on the stage wordlessly.

Next to him, Zach and Yuri were hugging Nellie and Nigel. Lucas stretched his hands out to cover their eyes.

Tears started to form in Luna's eyes upon seeing this. What use was there in Lucas covering their eyes? They could still hear what was happening. They could still feel the rowdy atmosphere in the venue.

She was...sorry for her children.

Before the engagement ceremony began, Nigel had already seriously expressed that he would not call Joshua by name anymore. He would refer to him as Daddy already.

Nellie was jumping with joy. Her wish, finally. She could finally proudly introduce her mother and father to others. She did not need to explain why they split up. Even if the engagement to Joshua was fake, the children treated it as if it were real.

However, the unexpected turn of events...

They were only six years old. Could they take such a blow? What they thought was their happiest day turned into the day where their father was being called a scumbag, where Neil, who was born with them, called Aura his mother and spewed lies.

Also...

Their own mother suddenly got engaged to the man they hated the most, making Joshua the butt of the joke of the entire Banyan City.

At that moment, she even had to kiss that disgusting man!

“Luna.“

Aura's voice behind her pulled her back to reality. Luna took a deep breath, despair washing over her in waves.

“I'll kiss him.“ Then, she took a deep breath and held her breath. She gradually went in closer toward Michael's face.

Slam!

Just as everyone anticipated for Luna to kiss Michael, the loud sound of the door slammed open rang through.

Luna stopped and immediately turned to look at the entrance. The person who kicked the door open was the butler of the Lynch Mansion.

Behind the butler was Granny Lynch with a walking stick.

“Mom?“

Adrian furrowed his brows and immediately got down from the stage. He only walked for a few steps before he looked at Michael, who was still on the

stage in a daze, waiting for Luna to kiss him.

“What are you waiting for? Come quickly and greet your grandmother! “

Granny Lynch had never liked Michael and Celia. The day Adrian brought them home, Granny Lynch immediately threw Adrian's things out of the Lynch Mansion. The family of three could only find a hotel to settle down at that moment.

At that moment, Granny Lynch's appearance at the venue was a great opportunity to please her so that they could return to the Lynch Mansion!

After all, the Lynchs were a powerful family. Granny Lynch would not embarrass him in front of so many people!

Upon Adrian's words, Michael hesitated for a while, before abandoning Luna and going down the stage.

Looking at Adrian and Michael greeting Granny Lynch, Luna let out a sigh. She was spent.

Thank goodness. Thank goodness Granny Lynch came in time, or else...

If she really had to kiss Michael that day, she might vomit out all the food she had the night before!

Once Adrian and Michael left the stage, it was only Aura, Luna, and Neil in the distance on stage. “Don't be too happy yet.“

Aura went in close to Luna's ears and sneered.

“After all, Michael is already your fiance. There are still chances of making out with him.“

Then, Aura said in a playful yet suppressed tone, “Do you like the gift I gave you, dear sister?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1169

Luna bit her lip hard. She raised her gaze and glared at Aura.

“What on earth do you want?“

Aura sneered. “Of course, that is...“ Aura narrowed her eyes and looked at Luna, her gaze filled with hatred.

“I 'm going to take back everything that you owed me!“

If Luna did not bring her two b*stard of a children back, she would have been Joshua's legitimate wife! She had been by Joshua's side for five years! She had been his fiancée for five years!

The moment Luna came back, she ruined everything! How could Aura not be angry? How could she not hate her?

Luna narrowed her eyes. “Aura, I have never owed you anything.“

“You don't get to decide for me whether you owe me or not! I make the calls! “

“Mommy! “

At that moment, Nellie's voice came from below the stage. Luna paused for a while and looked down subconsciously. Nigel and Nellie were already below the stage.

Nellie reached her hand out, trying to reach for Luna's hand. “Mommy, you can come down now!

It's safe! “

Only then did Luna come to her senses. She realized that everyone's attention was on Granny Lynch. She took a deep breath and ignored Aura behind her, walking down from the stage immediately.

She picked Nellie up. “Good girl. Were you frightened?“

Nellie shook her head furiously. “Nope, no.“

Then, she pressed her lips closer toward Luna's ears, whispering, “Nigel and I got Granny Lynch over.

Don't worry, Mommy—Granny Lynch will protect you. She won't make you kiss that disgusting man! “

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Luna had mixed feelings as she embraced Nellie. She was just about to grab Nigel's hand when she realized Nigel's gaze was fixed at the corner of the stage.

In the corner was Neil, who looked like him. Both of them were looking at each other quietly, emotions minimal in their eyes.

Luna's heart sank, and she immediately pulled Nigel away.

Looking at them leaving, Neil clenched his fists.

“Do you envy them? Do you think they're happy? “

Aura walked over to Neil, bent down, and fixed his bow tie while sneering.

“Without them, you and I, and your father, Joshua, would be a happy family, too. I could also hug you like that to let you feel the warmth and tenderness, but they've destroyed our happiness, Jake.“

Then, she lifted her gaze and looked at Neil. “You know what to do, right?"

Neil pursed his lips and nodded.

“Mother, don't worry. I'll make sure you get back all that you deserve."

Below the stage, Adrian was looking at Granny Lynch fawningly, helping her to the sofa in the middle of the venue.

“Why are you here?"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1170

Granny Lynch harrumphed coldly. She swept Adrian a cold gaze.

“What? Did I come at a bad time? Am I standing in the way of you trying to weed out the bad seed for the Lynch family while usurping someone's power?“

The smile on Adrian's face froze. He cleared his throat and said in a low voice, “Mom, what are you saying? I'm only trying to help the Lynch family get rid of the bad seed. I'm not trying to steal anybody's power.

“You know that the Lynch family is powerful. The Lynch Group is the hard work of many of our ancestors. If it falls into the hands of a terrible grandchild, people would laugh at us.

“Currently, Joshua is accused of being a scumbag, so it's natural that I...want to help investigate it.“

Granny Lynch laughed. She lowered her gaze and looked at Adrian.

“You're right. The Lynch family's fortune had been saved up by generations of our ancestors. The terrible grandchild isn't worthy of having the Lynch family's money.“

Then, she looked at Adrian coldly.

“All these years, how much Lynch family money have you spent?“

Adrian was stunned. He never would have thought that weeding out the bad seed of the Lynch family would backfire on him.

He looked at Granny Lynch in a daze. “Mom, what do you mean by that?“

“What I mean is...“ Granny Lynch snorted coldly and raised her voice. “You said you want to investigate whether Joshua is a scumbag or not, whether he did anything immoral. That means that you still have no proof in your hands to show that Joshua did those things.

“However, in my hands right now are clear evidence of you and your illegitimate son doing terrible and immoral things over the years.“

Granny Lynch's murky eyes glared at Adrian coldly.

“Tell me: Should we weed out the bad seeds starting from people who had solid evidence against them? Also, you're Joshua's father. You're older than him. It should start from you.“

Then, Granny Lynch immediately turned around and swept the butler behind her gaze. Her tone was ice - cold. “Go and pull out the accounts from all these years of all the money and items that he used from the Lynch family, starting from after Joshua's mother passed away! Tabulate the bill and send it to Mr. Adrian Lynch. The terrible offspring of the

Lynch family isn't worthy of the Lynch family money, so...“

Granny Lynch glared at Adrian coldly. “You have to pay it back to me down to every single cent! “

Adrian's face was paler than the wall behind him upon hearing what Granny Lynch said.

Everyone there did not dare to let out a single breath. No wonder Granny Lynch was Joshua's predecessor. She was a tough character that managed the Lynch family for many years. Just by sitting there, she gave off an oppressing aura.

It turned out that Joshua's powerful aura that forced one to look up to him was inherited from Granny Lynch.

“Granny.“ Seeing how Granny Lynch treated Adrian, Michael, by the side, hesitated for a while before smiling and approaching her. He learned from other grandchildren, resting himself on her knees.

“Granny, settling the accounts with dad is our own family affairs. We can still do it behind closed doors. Why embarrass Dad in front of everyone?“

Then, he coquettishly lifted his head.

“I'm also your grandson. Tonight is my engagement ceremony. I'm very happy that you're here. Since you're already here, let's happily have a meal. Don't get worked up for such a small matter. We shouldn't let the others think that the Lynch family aren't close to each other.“

Michael thought what he said could make Granny Lynch think of the occasion that night. However, he did not expect...

Granny Lynch immediately gave the butler next to her a look.

The next second, the butler immediately picked Michael's head, which was resting on Granny Lynch's knee, up and dragged him to the side.
