Ch. 1261..1270

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1261

Luna stared at Samson, who was talking her ear off, and could not help chuckling. “You do know a lot, Samson.“

Samson rolled his eyes at her. “Of course I do. My family is also one of the wealthiest and most influential families abroad alongside the Landrys and the Quinns, so how can I not know about gossip like this?“

With that, he pouted and said, “I can tell you're not interested in gossip like this at all, so I won't bother you any longer. It's almost time to get off work, anyway. You should go home and rest tonight. I 'm still waiting for you to give me suggestions for my proposal tomorrow, so don't you dare be as absent- minded as you were today! “

Luna curled her lips into a smile. “Alright.“ It was already time to get off work.

The employees in the design department were already packing their bags to leave.

Luna remained seated alone in her office, her mind blank.

As soon as she closed her eyes, the image of the receipt she had found on Joshua's computer just now appeared in her mind, along with the note that read, ( Payment].

Every time her mind cleared, she would recall Bonnie telling her that Jason had left on Joshua's private plane.

Luna felt as though she would go insane at any moment.

She took out her phone and called Bonnie. “I want to drink.“

Bonnie remained silent for a moment, then asked, “ Are you...sure?“

Bonnie knew better than anyone just how bad of a drinker Luna was. When Luna got drunk, she was often so wasted that she could not function.

“Of course.“ Luna let out a bitter chuckle. “I'm feeling a little frustrated.“

Having heard this, Bonnie had no reason to refuse. “ Alright then, I'll invite Anne as well.“

An hour later, the three of them appeared in front of a bar.

Luna sat in a private room in the bar, clutching a bottle of beer.

Anne did not understand why Luna was upset and did not dare to ask her either, so she had no choice but to approach Bonnie surreptitiously. “What's going on?“

Bonnie let out a sigh and replied, “Aura told her something that turned out to be true, so Luna is upset about this.“

Anne paused for a moment, then immediately understood.

This had something to do with Joshua.

Every time something like this happened, especially if it were something regarding Joshua, Luna would get easily upset and agitated.

Anne let out a sigh and sat down next to Luna. “If something is bothering you, you shouldn't keep quiet about it. If I were you, I'd find Joshua and talk to him about this. Ask him whether he knew about everything, why he transferred money to Jason, and why he let Jason escape in his private plane.

“If everything turns out to be a misunderstanding, then this is a good way of resolving it.“

Luna, who was already wasted at that point, stared dazedly at Anne. “What if... What if he said none of this was a misunderstanding...“

Anne pursed her lips. “If it's not a misunderstanding, then no matter how good Joshua treats you, I advise you to break up with him. No matter how loyal he is to you now, he used to be a cold, heartless person! “

Bonnie frowned upon hearing this. “It's obvious that Luna doesn't want to break up with him. Otherwise, she wou1dn't be this upset.“

Truth be told, Bonnie understood exactly how Luna was feeling.

Luna had loved Joshua for many years, and now that Joshua finally reciprocated, it was as though her sacrifices over these years had ultimately meant something.

Should this incident ever reveal to Luna that Joshua was not as perfect as she made him out to be...

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1262

How could Bonnie bear to destroy Luna's dream?

“Sometimes, you just have to rip the bandage off, “ muttered Anne as she let out a sigh. Then, she picked up Luna's phone and dialed Joshua's number.

The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered. “Luna, didn't I tell you not to call me?

Aura was next to me just now.“

“Just because Aura was next to me means you won't pick up Luna's calls now?“ scoffed Anne, pursing her lips in disapproval. Then, she continued loudly, “ Joshua Lynch, Luna is drinking her sorrows away in a bar right now because of you. You know better than anyone how she gets when she's drunk. Be here in an hour; Bonnie and I have something to ask you.

“If you don't come within this hour, then we'll bring Luna to flirt with the handsome guys downstairs.

That's all from me. Goodbye! “ With that, Anne hung up the phone.

On the other end of the line, Joshua, who was sitting in a restaurant, furrowed his brows when he heard the dial tone.

Luna was drinking her sorrows away because of him?

What made her so upset? Was it because of how close he and Aura were this afternoon?

This was all part of Luna's plan. She was the one who came up with this strategy of hiding their relationship and playing along with Aura so she

would be under the impression that she had everything under control and eventually bring out the antidote for Granny Lynch...

This was all part of Luna's plan, was it not?

Joshua protested against this the entire morning, but Luna threatened not to speak to him ever again if he continued to refuse, so he had no choice but to give in.

It had barely been a day, yet why had Luna gotten so upset and jealous that she had to drown her sorrows in a bar? Joshua was the one who had to play along with Aura, yet Luna was the one upset instead.

“Joshua.“ Aura sat down across from him after coming out of the washroom. “Who called you?“

Joshua regained his composure and curled his lips into a smile. “It was from the company. They wanted me to return to work on some stuff, but I refused.“

Aura paused for a moment, then put on an understanding smile. “Since they've called you at this hour, this means that whatever it is must be urgent. Why did you refuse to help?“

Joshua lowered his head to continue eating. “I didn't want you to think that I'm not putting my full attention on our date.“

Aura was delighted to hear this. “That's okay. Even though you and I have only gotten back together today...we still have plenty of opportunities to spend time together in the future. Don't delay your work because of me.“

With that, she started ushering him to go back to work. “Go on. I can get home by myself later.“

Joshua pretended to be reluctant at this suggestion and contemplated for a moment. Then, finally, he gave Aura a few reminders to be careful before leaving.

After he left, Aura took out her phone triumphantly and dialed a number while watching Joshua's retreating figure. “Sis, guess what? I've almost achieved my goal! Men are visual creatures and only have sex on their brains, after all!

“I went to Joshua's room and laid there for a while this morning, giving him the impression that he slept with me last night, and his attitude toward me changed entirely.

“Not only did he suggest that we get back together for some time, but he even ignored Luna and almost refused to go back to work because of me! “

Aura continued in an excited tone, “Today, I witnessed with my own eyes how miserable Luna looked, sitting in her office... Didn't you say that after eating the poison you gave me, even undergoing psychological turmoil would cause the poison to take effect? I think she's almost there now“ As soon as the poison takes effect, I'll bring out the only antidote in the world and give it to Joshua so that he can use it to save Granny, right in front of Luna's eyes...

“She'll die with hatred for Joshua! “

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1263

When Joshua arrived at the bar, Luna was already so drunk that she was clinging onto Bonnie, spouting gibberish out of her mouth.

She cried and laughed at the same time and sometimes even mistook Bonnie as her father Joseph, reprimanding him for sending her biological sister away.

Sometimes, she mistook Bonnie as Neil and expressed her regret over failing to protect him.

However, most of the time, Luna clung to Bonnie and cried out Joshua's name, along with questions of 'why'.

More specifically, questions of why did he give Jason money and why did he send Jason away.

“I know that deep down in your heart, you love me, but I don't understand... I don't understand! Since you love me, why did you ignore me even though I was sabotaged by someone else, and even...helped the culprit escape?“

This was what Joshua heard as soon as he stepped foot in the private room.

He furrowed his brows and immediately strode over to Bonnie's side. Then, he released Bonnie from Luna's grip and pulled her into his arms instead. “ What on earth are you talking about?“

When did he ignore her when she needed help, and when did he help the culprit escape?

“Luna's right.“ Anne crossed her arms in front of her chest and placed Luna's phone on the table, displaying the receipt she had taken a photo of earlier as well as the evidence that Bonnie had found. “Mr. Lynch, even though Luna is drunk now, I still think you have some explaining to do.

“Come on, explain to me why. Six years ago, after Luna's accident, did you promise to pay Jason two million dollars and let him leave in your private plane after he went to you for help? Also, what does this note mean? What did you mean, payment? What did you pay Jason for?“

Joshua furrowed his brows and picked up the phone on the table while consoling Luna at the same time.

Joshua frowned as soon as he saw the offshore account that had transferred money to Jason. “I had indeed transferred this sum, and I was the one who had written this note, but...“

He lifted his head and glanced at Anne who, at this moment, was trying to remain calm, even though she was just as nervous to hear his answer. “Did the account belong to Jason? I didn't know that.“

Bonnie frowned upon hearing this. “Then why did you transfer money to him and even write 'payment' in the note?“

“Because...“ Joshua rubbed his brows. “This was the last time I transferred money to Mr. Adrian Lynch.“

For a period of time after Luna's accident, Joshua could not concentrate on anything and constantly sat on Bay Bridge in a daze for a whole day.

Sometimes, when he was not on Bay Bridge, he would stay home and drink, ignoring his work completely.

Granny Lynch was worried that Lynch Group would collapse in this state, so she immediately tracked Adrian down in hopes that he would take up the responsibility of the man of the household.

However, not only did Adrian ignore all the tasks related to Lynch Group after returning to Banyan City, but he even asked for money from either Granny Lynch or Joshua himself.

Joshua was frustrated by this and finally decided to ask Adrian how much he wanted and pay him the sum instantly.

At that time, Adrian had given him this account number and asked for two million dollars.

After making the payment to him, Joshua never paid Adrian another penny.

However, he did not know that the account Adrian had provided him...belonged to Jason instead.

As soon as she heard this, Bonnie could not help but furrowed her brows. “Don't you think this excuse is too much of a stretch, Mr. Lynch?

“Even though I rarely make bank transfers like this, I still think that according to your status and wealth... you'd check the identity of the account holder before making any transfers, wouldn't you?

“How could you not look into this matter when you discovered that the account didn't belong to your father, even though you were supposed to make a payment to him?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1264

Joshua furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this.

He lifted his head to glance at Bonnie impassively, then said, “You're right. If it had been the past, I would've looked into this matter.“

With that, he lowered his gaze and wiped a tear from the corner of Luna's eye gently. “However, Ms. Craig, you should know that this happened shortly after Luna's accident.

“I had lost my entire world and was not in a good mental state for a while. Please forgive me for not having the mood or the time to investigate the account holder's identity and their relationship to Adrian. As for the private plane...

“If I remember correctly, I didn't give much notice to anything that happened during that time, so maybe Granny Lynch passed over the ownership of the private plane to Mr. Adrian.“

Bonnie and Anne froze upon hearing this.

They exchanged glances. None of them had imagined the truth to turn out like this...

Initially, they wanted to summon Joshua and force him to explain everything while Luna was drunk and, at the same time, reprimand him for breaking her heart.

To their surprise...not only did he manage to explain everything, but he even showcased his love toward Luna right in front of them.

After a moment, Joshua fixated his penetrating gaze on them. “Are you sure that this account belongs to Jason, and are you certain that Jason had left Banyan City in my private plane at that time?“

Bonnie nodded in reply. “According... According to what Aura told Luna, yes.

“Jason had gone to Lynch Mansion and found Mr. Lynch. He was the one whom Mr. Lynch and Ms. Gibson had hired to murder Luna. As soon as he received the two-million-dollar payment, he left Banyan City in a private plane that night...“

Joshua, whose arms were wrapped around Luna at this moment, stiffened when he heard this.

Everyone knew that apart from himself, there was only one other person who went by 'Mr. Lynch.'

It was his father, Adrian.

At that time, after Luna's accident, Joshua spent most of his time either on Bay Bridge or drinking in his bedroom at Blue Bay Villa.

How could he have appeared at Lynch Mansion?

On top of that, the receipt of payment, as well as the private plane...

Joshua clutched Luna tightly in his arms and felt a cold feeling seep through his heart.

This meant that six years ago, Adrian had already known how Luna had died.

He knew everything since the start yet still chose to help Aura pay Jason and help him escape.

No wonder six years later, Aura would always notify Adrian immediately whenever something happened, whether it was him falling unconscious or being trapped in the underground warehouse so that Adrian could fight for the Lynch family inheritance.

It turned out that...when Luna suffered her accident six years ago, Adrian and Aura had already started working together.

Joshua had initially thought that Granny Lynch's illness was due to poisoning when she met Aura in person at the engagement party, but according to this new revelation...

Joshua narrowed his eyes as he contemplated this possibility.

Maybe...Aura was not the one who had poisoned Granny Lynch at all!

As soon as he thought of this, Joshua let out an exhale and gently set Luna down. “Please help me take good care of Luna. I have some urgent things to take care of.“

Anne immediately frowned. “Where are you going?“ “I'm going to find Mr. Adrian Lynch.“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1265

The lights coming out of Lynch Mansion shone brightly in the night sky.

Due to her illness, Granny Lynch was lying against the sofa, looking feeble.

Nigel massaged her feet in silence while Nellie held a book and told Granny Lynch The Little Mermaid story.

On the other side of the sofa, Celia was holding a stack of photos of other girls and showing them one by one to Michael. “Michael, look: these are the suitable girls that Granny has picked out for you according to their status and identity. Take a look and let me know if there's any that you're interested in.“

Michael, whose brain was still haunted by the image of the hickeys on Aura's body this morning, shoved the photos aside in frustration. “I don't want to! If you want it so desperately, look at them yourself! “

“How dare you! “ Adrian slammed his glass down on the coffee table with a thud and shot Michael a cold glance. “Your Granny is so ill that she wishes to see you get married and settle down while she's still alive. I'm still waiting for you to get married so you can bring good luck into this family and help Granny get better soon!

“Even if you don't want to, you still have to look through these girls' photos! “

Celia furrowed her brows upon seeing the stern look on Adrian's face and lifted her arm to stop him. “ Don't talk to Michael like this. You'll scare him.“

She poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Granny Lynch. “Mom, you should drink more water since your body is weak.“

With that, she poured two more glasses of water and placed them in front of Nigel and Nellie. “Nellie, you've been reading stories to Great -Granny for a long time now. Your voice must be getting hoarse. Drink some water.

“You must be exhausted as well, Nigel. Come on, drink some water. Granny will pour you some more after you're done.“

Nigel furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this, then lifted his head to glance at Celia coldly. “Only my father's biological mother is considered my Granny. I think it's best I call you Grandma Celia. I'm afraid that it isn't good to call you Granny.“

Celia's face turned pale upon hearing Nigel's words.

A hint of hatred flashed through her eyes. She let out a snort of indignation but did not say anything in reply. Instead, she returned to Michael's side and continued showing him the rest of the photos.

Nigel helped Granny Lynch up to drink the water.

Nellie, who had been reading the stories for a long time, could not stand it anymore either. She picked up the glass of water that Celia had poured and gulped it down.

“Nellie,“ Nigel called out, frowning.

However, Nellie shrugged and took no notice of this.

“It's okay.“

Even though Nigel had already reminded her countless times not to eat or drink anything that Celia had given, she thought it was alright. After all, she had seen Celia pour from the same jug that she used to pour for Granny Lynch.

If Granny Lynch was fine, then what was the worst that could happen?

When Joshua stepped into Lynch Mansion, the first thing he saw was Nellie and Granny Lynch drinking the water that Celia had poured.

A vein popped in his forehead, and he immediately lunged forward and snatched the unfinished glass of water out of Nellie's hand and put in a few drops of the medicine that he had been keeping in his pocket.

His guesses were correct.

The water in the glass turned green.

Joshua furrowed his brows and snatched the glass out of Granny Lynch's hand.

The water turned green as well.

“Daddy.“ Nellie stared at the green water in shock and blinked as she asked, “What magic is this?“

Joshua scoffed. “This isn't magic. Grandma Celia has poisoned the water! “

The entire room fell into silence at this. Nigel and Nellie exchanged a glance.

A split second later, Nellie clutched her throat as she started retching.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1266

Nellie continued clutching her throat as she cried out to Nigel, “Quick, help Great -Granny get the water out! “

Nigel froze for a moment, then shook his head. “It's no use anymore...“

Great-Granny had been using this jug and glass for almost a year, and Celia was the one who had prepared the water for her during this time. If Celia had intended to poison her...then this day would not have been the first day.

“What are you talking about, Joshua?“ Celia, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, could not help but frown upon hearing this. She tossed the photos in her hand onto the coffee table and stared a t Joshua with an accusatory expression. “We've been living in peace all this while, and I was just pouring Granny Lynch and the children some water out of kindness. How could you accuse me of poisoning them as soon as you drip some paint into the water?“

Joshua curled his lips into a smirk, then proffered the medicine to her. “Aunty Celia, let me introduce you to this. This is a drug testing substance that was provided to me by a famous doctor abroad. It's formulated specially to detect the kind of poison that was given to Granny Lynch by the Landry family many years ago.“

With that, he poured a glass of water from the water dispenser machine next to him and put a drop of the poison testing substance into it.

However, the water did not change color at all.

The color drained from Celia's face as she stiffened.

However, she still did not want to admit the truth. “ Who knows if this is the same substance that you put inside Granny Lynch and Nellie's glass? Don't think that you can scare me with some color-changing paint! “

“That's right.“ Michael scoffed and chimed in, “I don't even know where you got this paint. Didn't Luna put a few drops of this into the soup last night? The color was much darker than the color of the water just now.

“When I saw the greenish hue, I thought it was some special condiment, but there was no taste to the soup at all.

“If this paint can really detect poison, then why am I fine right now? it's already been 24 hours since I drank that entire bowl of soup.“

Adrian immediately widened his eyes upon hearing this. He said in a shaky voice, “Michael! You...you drank the soup that Luna poured a drug-testing substance into?“

Michael glanced at Adrian and Celia, who were as pale as ghosts, and said, “Why are you so worried? I'm fine.“

“What do you mean, you're fine?“

It was clear that Michael had drunk the soup that Aura had poisoned.

Celia was agitated by this and immediately dragged Michael out of the room. “Come! Go to the hospital with me! “

“I'm fine, really! “

“You're fine now, but this is a slow-acting poison. It'll only take effect when it's achieved a certain concentration in your body after a while! How can I be sure that the poison won't take effect inside you without undergoing a checkup? l'll be worried sick! “ Celia cried and brought Michael out of the room.

Their voices grew further and further away. The entire living room fell into silence.

As soon as Adrian lifted his head, he met Granny Lynch's furious gaze.

He let out an awkward cough and said, “Um, I'll go check on Michael, too.“ With that, he tried to escape.

However, Nigel stood up and blocked his path. “ Granddad, it seems like you've known all about the poison that Grandma Celia put into the water all along. Don't you think you should stay and explain what your entire family is trying to do to Great- Granny and Daddy?“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1267

“Get out of my way! “

Adrian knew what was about to happen if he did not escape in time, so he immediately shoved Nigel out of his way. “F*ck off! You're just as troublesome as your b*tch of a mother! “

Nellie immediately widened her eyes upon hearing this. She stared at Adrian in shock, gaping. “ Granddad...“

Out of all three of Luna's children, Nellie was the one who was the fondest of Adrian. Adrian had supported Nellie's love of design in the past and even complimented her talent.

After discovering that Luna's true identity was Moon, he summoned Luna to be Nellie's teacher.

However, at this moment, Adrian had called both Luna and Nigel profanities.

Nellie bit down on her lip. Tears streamed down her face soundlessly as she said in a choked, shaky voice, “What am I to you then, Granddad?“

Adrian stiffened when he saw the tears trickling down Nellie's face. He furrowed his brows, but before he could even answer, Granny Lynch shot Alfred a meaningful look, and he slammed the front door closed.

There was no escape.

“Adrian! “ Granny Lynch snapped. Even though her face was pale as she laid against the couch, she still commanded a strong, domineering presence. “Can you explain what is going on?“

With that, she glanced at the glass of green water and tossed it at Adrian's feet. “Did you really poison me?“

Adrian remained motionless and stared at Granny Lynch in fear. “Mother, that's not true at all. Please listen to me—“

“How are you going to explain this, Mr. Lynch?“ Joshua narrowed his eyes and sneered at Adrian. “ I've appointed countless specialists to look after Granny Lynch all this time, and the conclusion was that she had once again gotten poisoned by the same kind of drug that she encountered in the past.“

As he said this, Joshua's expression darkened when he glanced at the water at Adrian's feet.

The amount of poison in this glass of water was much more than the amount that Aura administered to Luna every day.

Celia was so agitated upon hearing that Michael too had drunk the soup from last night that she brought him to the hospital immediately. As for Granny, however...

She had been drinking this high concentration of poison for a while...

As soon as he thought of this, a pained expression flashed through Joshua's eyes. He turned and glared at Adrian. “I thought you were just a useless man and cared more about yourself, Celia, and Michael more than us, but I never thought you'd let Celia poison Granny. She's your mother, for God's sake!

Where do you draw the line?"

Adrian's expression darkened upon hearing this. He turned his face away to avoid Joshua's gaze and replied, “I don't understand what you're talking about."

“Do you really not know, or are you just pretending?" Joshua sneered. “I know that the reason Granny Lynch fell ill is that she was poisoned, but I always thought that Aura was the one who had done this to her when they last saw each other. I never thought that you'd be in on this as well and would try to kill Granny! "

At this moment, Granny Lynch slumped onto the sofa and started coughing violently. She was coughing so hard that tears began to stream down her face. She lifted her head to stare at Adrian with red- rimmed eyes. “What is going on, Adrian?"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1268

“Have you been planning this with the Landry family?“

Adrian lowered his gaze but did not reply.

Granny Lynch was so agitated that she could not stop coughing and finally spat out a mouthful of blood. “Adrian Lynch! If you don't answer me right now, I'll kick you out of the house! “

As soon as he heard this, Adrian furrowed his brows and lifted his head to meet Granny Lynch's gaze. “ You're right. I got this poison from Aura, and I was the one who poisoned you according to Aura's instructions.“

He shrugged and plopped down in the seat across from Granny. “Aura said that the Landrys are still angry at you for chasing them out of Banyan City in the past, so they sent Aura back to take revenge.

“Therefore, as long as I cooperate with Aura and administer poison into your food, then take a video of your ill state, Aura will be able to show it to the Landrys and accomplish her mission.“

With that, he shrugged nonchalantly and added, “ Aura even said that she has the antidote to this, but she wants to wait until a critical moment before she brings out the antidote. As soon as she does, you'll get better after taking the antidote and resting for a few years. Meanwhile, she can bring the recording back to the Landrys and show them what she accomplished.“

Adrian placed his hands on the sofa armrest and said triumphantly, “Isn't this the best outcome?“

Granny Lynch clenched her hands into fists. “The best outcome?“

How could he say this so casually?

Since Aura belonged to the Landry family, Granny Lynch knew exactly what kind of people they were, having interacted with them so many times in the past.

Would Aura really bring out the antidote, even though she claimed she would?

The Landrys had promised to send Granny Lynch's daughter back, but did they follow through with it?

The only thing they sent back was a corpse!

Besides, even if Aura kept to her word and brought out the antidote, she would still need a few years to recover from this illness!

She was already more than 7o years old! How many more years did she even have to live?

“According to you, Mr. Lynch, the best outcome is poisoning Granny, and as soon as she dies, you'll bring your wife and son over to fight for the inheritance against me...“ Joshua sneered as he gazed at Adrian. “Am I right?“

The color drained from Adrian's face.

Joshua was right. Aura's main focus was making Luna's life miserable. She wanted to make both Granny Lynch and Luna fall ill at the same time and force Joshua to save Granny out of familial love, which would devastate Luna.

However, Adrian did not intend to follow Aura's plan at all. This was why he had allowed Celia to poison Granny Lynch.

What use was there to keep Granny Lynch around since she would only show them kindness if they took care of her?

At least, if she died, Adrian would have the freedom to fight for the inheritance for Michael!

Michael and Celia had already been through too much over the years. It was about time they sat back and enjoyed life at Lynch Mansion!

Adrian's refusal to answer was already an answer of its own.

“You— “ Granny Lynch was so enraged that she clutched onto her chest while pointing at Adrian with another hand, shaking. “How dare you! I already wanted to chase the three of you out of the Lynch family, but because of my sudden illness, I softened and let you continue staying here instead, but it turns out... It turns out that you were the reason I even fell sick in the first place! “

Granny Lynch clutched her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood with a sputter, staining the coffee table red.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1269

Granny Lynch was immediately sent to the hospital.

Outside the emergency room, Adrian grabbed onto Joshua's collar in anger and glared at him. “If anything happens to Mother tonight, I won't forgive you! “

Joshua could not help but curl his lips into a smirk upon hearing this. He lifted his head to stare at Adrian coldly and said, a hint of contempt playing on his lips, “You deliberately let Celia put so much poison in Granny's drink. Haven't you been waiting for this day to arrive?

“What's wrong? Why are you so afraid that something bad would happen to Granny? Is it because everything happened so suddenly and didn't go according to your plan, so Granny didn't even have time to prepare a will?“

Adrian's face blushed scarlet, then turned white, then blushed again. Then, after a moment, he gritted his teeth and glowered at Joshua. “She's my mother! “

Joshua sneered, then turned around and grabbed Adrian's collar instead. “Since when did you value family so much, Mr. Lynch? If you really cared about Granny, then why did you let Celia poison her in the first place?

“If you truly valued relationships, why did you help Aura in the first place and hide the truth six years ago, even though Luna had been nothing but kind to you?”

Adrian was so stunned by this question that he froze. Then, after a long time, he let out a snicker. “You found out about everything, didn't you?“

Six years ago, after Luna suffered her accident, Joshua spent all of his time either on Bay Bridge or cooped up in Luna's room, drinking.

At that time, like the rest of the citizens in Banyan City, Jason did not know that Joshua had been living at Blue Bay Villa ever since he got married. They only knew of Lynch Mansion.

Therefore, Jason arrived at Lynch Mansion, carrying evidence of Luna's murder to claim his payment for ' Mr. Lynch and Ms. Gibson's request.'

Adrian managed to discover what had happened through Jason's description. Initially, he wanted to tell everything to Joshua, but before he could do so, Celia got in touch with him.

As soon as she found out about this, she suggested a better idea instead.

She suggested Adrian use his identity to trick Jason into thinking that Joshua was the one who had tried to kill Luna and send him off with the money.

Not only would this allow Joshua to be immersed in the grief of Luna's death, but they would be able to use this against Aura and gain some advantages.

On top of that, if Joshua could not move on from Luna's death, Adrian would be able to bring Michael back to Banyan City and inherit the Lynch family fortune. However...

Soon after that, Michael was charged with sexual harassment in bars, so he had to go into hiding, and because of the will that Aura had faked, Joshua managed to recover from his grief successfully.

Adrian's plan did not manage to go on after all. However, he still remembered everything.

At one point, when Aura suspected that Joshua and Luna's relationship would improve, Adrian even shared this secret with her so that she could use this to sabotage their relationship.

Judging from the way Joshua acted, Adrian guessed that Aura had finally come clean with the truth.

As soon as he thought of this, Adrian curled his lips into a small smile. “You believe Luna had been nothing but kind to me? That's just what you think! After you got married to her, I asked her for money because you refused to give me. Do you know how much she gave me? Only a few thousand dollars each time!

“She was already the renowned Mrs. Lynch at that time but gave only a few thousand dollars to an elderly in need! How stingy is that? What right do you have to say she was kind to me?“

Joshua furrowed his brows upon hearing this. He had no idea that Adrian had asked Luna for money in the past!

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1270

Even though he and Luna were married, she had never asked Joshua for money and did not like spending his money either.

Most of the time, she worked part-time selling her artwork online and did some simple sketches to earn money. Therefore, her monthly income was only several thousand dollars.

According to Adrian, this meant that Luna had given him most of her salary. However, he was still unsatisfied and instead thought that Luna had deliberately given him such a measly amount to humiliate him!

Joshua clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles cracked. “What right did you have to ask Luna for money?“

“She's my daughter-in -law! You two were so close after your marriage, and you must've given her a lot of money! How could she send me off just like that? I didn't think it was much of a pity even if she died! “

Joshua's fist crashed against Adrian's face with a slam.

This man was involved in Rianna's death all those years ago, and even though he knew who the mastermind behind Luna's murder was six years ago, he continued to help Aura.

As soon as he found out Joshua was hurt, he returned to Banyan City multiple times with his son in an attempt to fight for the inheritance.

He even attempted to kill Granny Lynch so that he could fake a will and steal the Lynch family inheritance from Joshua!

Joshua did not understand the use of allowing this man to live.

As soon as he thought of this, Joshua brought his fist down again to Adrian's face.

Adrian did not see this coming and took a few steps back from the impact. Finally, he propped himself up against the wall with his arms, blood seeping out of the corner of his lips. “I'm your father, Joshua Lynch! Are you crazy?“

“I don't have a father like you! “ Joshua bit down on his lip forcefully, then grabbed onto Adrian and brought down more punches.

Again and again, he landed multiple blows on Adrian's body.

Seeing that Adrian was about to collapse soon, Nigel and Nellie, who had been silent all this while, immediately exchanged glances.

Finally, Nigel took out his phone and dialed Jude's number.

Ten minutes later, Jude hastily arrived at the scene. When he came, Joshua was still pressing Adrian down against the floor, landing more punches all over his body.

Adrian lay against the marble floor, his entire face so red and swollen that he was no longer recognizable. However, Joshua showed no intention of stopping.

The doctors and nurses stood all around them in the hallway, but none of them dared to stop Joshua.

Seeing that Jude had arrived, Nigel immediately approached him and dragged him over to where Joshua and Adrian were.

Jude furrowed his brows at this sight and immediately grabbed hold of Joshua, who had almost gone insane. “Joshua! Stop! Even if you beat him to death, it won't make Granny Lynch come out of the emergency room faster! “

Joshua finally let out a sigh of relief and unclenched his fists.

Adrian remained slumped on the floor for a long while before finally climbing up. He leaned against the wall and glared at Joshua coldly. “Aura said that this poison takes its effect whenever one undergoes extreme psychological stress, and it's fatal.

“Joshua, the things you said in front of Granny today made her so stressed that she had to be admitted into the emergency room. If anything bad happens to her, you'll be the culprit! “

As soon as he finished his sentence, the light outside the emergency room door turned off.
