Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1321

Joshua's gaze was so sharp and cold that Adrian did not dare meet his gaze, turning his head away instead. “What's this about my IQ? What makes you think I can't come up with...“

As soon as he said this, he realized that he had fallen right into Joshua's trap and immediately corrected himself, “Who—Who's trying to frame Luna? She's the one who killed Granny; everyone here knows and saw it!

“The wound in Granny's chest is made by the knife that Luna is holding! Everyone here, including you and me, saw that as clear as day! “

Adrian pointed toward Granny's dead body and Luna's unconscious figure on the floor. “Look, she's already passed out, but she's holding the knife so tightly in her hand! Everything at the scene clearly explains what happened before we arrived. What do you mean, someone is trying to frame Luna?“

With that, he turned to glance at the reporters gathered in the hallway. “Am I wrong?“

The reporters exchanged glances, and some of them started whispering under their breaths.

However, most of them did not dare say anything at all.

Adrian could not help but curse mentally at this sight. However, he continued to glare at Joshua stubbornly. “Please don't think that Luna can get off scot-free just because you have her back! “

Joshua could not help but curl his lips into a smirk when he saw how desperate yet stubborn Adrian was acting. “Well, If she has indeed murdered someone, then she'll definitely pay the price, but if she hasn't

Joshua's expression darkened. “Then not only will I punish the real culprit behind Granny's death, but I'll also expose all the crimes that his wife and children have committed and let all of them rot in prison together, “ Joshua threatened through gritted teeth.

Adrian's eyes widened in shock, and his entire being burst out in cold sweats.

He did not understand why Joshua looked and talked to him like this, even though there were no loopholes in his story at all.

It was as though Joshua had already discovered the truth about what had happened!

Adrian's entire body quaked so badly, but he did not know what to say.

All of a sudden, the elevator doors slide open.

The bodyguards that Lucas summoned had arrived.

As soon as they arrived, the bodyguards took all the reporters, as well as their cameras, away.

When the hallway was finally empty, Joshua narrowed his eyes and stood up. “Adrian Lynch, I initially thought that if you'd pay respects to Granny Lynch, I 'd reduce your prison sentence, but now...

“You're not worth it.“

As soon as he finished his sentence, the police arrived at the scene.

When Lucas called the police, he had mentioned that a murder had occurred, so the police sent many of their men over to investigate the situation. They immediately sealed off the scene to the public and started gathering all the evidence.

Luna, who had passed out in a pool of blood, was finally roused awake by one of the coroners.

“Granny! “ Luna shouted as soon as she awoke, even before she opened her eyes.

When she opened her eyes—

Luna was so shocked by the scene before her that she froze in place, utterly stunned.

She watched as the coroners brought Granny Lynch's corpse out of the room.

The old lady, who had held her hand and told her about her daughter just an hour ago, was reduced to just a cold, lifeless corpse.

The white bedsheets were stained with blood. Even Luna's entire body was covered in blood.

One of the coroners took a fruit knife —covered in Luna's fingerprints—and put it in an evidence  bag.

Luna watched dazedly as everything unfolded before her, as though her brain had lost its ability to think.

How could this be... How could this be?

She had been... She had been chatting to Granny Lynch, but after a while, for some reason, she began to feel tired.

Granny had even stroked her hair tenderly and told her to lay by the bed for a quick nap.

The rational side of Luna told her that she could not sleep, not in front of an old lady, but after experiencing a few sleepless, exhausting days in the studio, Luna could not take it anymore.

Finally, she gave in to her body and fell asleep next to Granny Lynch.

In her sleep, she had heard the sound of something splashing onto her face.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1322

When Luna opened her eyes, she saw nothing but blood.

A man plunged a knife right into Granny Lynch's heart.

When she saw this, Luna wanted to get up and scream for help, but she could not let out a single sound due to fear.

That was when she dialed Joshua's number on instinct.

Just as Luna pressed the call button—

Someone gave her a blow on the back of her neck, and she passed out.

When she finally came to, Luna was so shocked by the scene before her that she felt as though her entire body had been struck by lightning.

She could not move, think, or talk.

A pained expression flashed across Joshua's face when he saw how helpless Luna looked, sitting on the floor.

He pursed his thin lips.

He wanted to enter the room and give her a hug for comfort, but he could not.

If he entered the room, he would be trespassing and destroying evidence.

He believed that Luna was innocent and that she would not hurt Granny at all.

It was precisely because of this that he could not destroy any trace of evidence within the room. The real killer would have accidentally left some clues behind.

Therefore, no matter how badly he wanted to console Luna, he had no choice but to watch from a distance as the police gathered the evidence.

After a long time, the police had finished collecting all the evidence.

“Ms. Luna, you're suspected of murdering Ms. Lydia Hamilton. Kindly follow us back to the police station for investigation,“ a policewoman said curtly as she snapped a pair of cold handcuffs around Luna's wrists.

Luna was brought out of the room with two policewomen flanking her.

She was so numb that she could barely walk. All she could think of was what the policewoman had declared: “You are suspected of murdering Ms. Lydia Hamilton.“

“You are suspected of murdering...“ Did she...murder Granny?

Luna had just taken a nap and had a bad dream...

Granny had even been stroking her hair before she fell asleep...so how could she be dead?

How did Luna become the prime suspect in Granny's murder?

“Luna.“ When a blood-soaked Luna followed the policewomen to the door, she heard a low voice ring out from next to her.

It was Joshua's voice.

Luna could not help but feel like crying when she heard these two syllables.

When she lifted her head and caught sight of the pale

-faced man before her, a surge of emotions rushed into her heart.

She pouted slightly, and tears slid down her face in silence.

When she finally spoke, her voice was hoarse and choked. “Joshua. I...I didn't kill anyone. I'd never kill Granny.“

“I know,“ Joshua replied in a low voice, then stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.

The policewomen who watched this immediately went into alert when they saw this. “Mr. Lynch! “

“I just want to say a few words,“ said Joshua hoarsely.

He cupped Luna's bloodstained face in his hands and lowered his voice, “I believe you.“

With that, he wiped her tears away and pressed a kiss onto her forehead. “Don't worry; I'm here with you.“

As soon as he said this, Luna was taken away by the police.

Joshua stood motionless as he watched her leave and closed his eyes in exhaustion.

Unbeknownst to them—

At the end of the hallway, a reporter ducked into the bathroom and checked the pictures he had taken on his camera.

It was a photo of Joshua kissing Luna's forehead while clutching her bloody face.

The reporter let out a sneer and sent the picture, along with a headline that read, (She killed his grandmother, yet he still kissed her so tenderly. Is he really free from involvement in this murder?]

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1323

The iron grille door slammed shut.

After being interrogated, Luna was forced to put on a prison jumpsuit and shoved into the women's cell.

Luna slumped on the ground weakly and could not find the strength to stand up.

The cell was so dark that she could not make out anyone's face at all.

“Hey, there's a newbie.“ All of a sudden, a few taunting voices rang out from all around her.

“She looks young and quite pretty too! “

“Celia, come look at this. You're finally not a newbie anymore.“

Luna's entire body stiffened when she heard this familiar name.

She lifted her head and came face to face with Celia's cold stare.

Celia was perched on one of the beds next to her, and she swept her cold gaze over Luna's pale face. “ You're in jail, too?“

Luna bit down on her lip but did not reply.

The woman standing in front of Luna glanced at Celia. “Do you know her?“

“Do I know her?“ Celia stood up and fixated her frosty gaze on Luna's face. “I wouldn't even be here if it weren't for her! She has a pretty face but a demon's heart!

“It's all because of her, her children, Joshua Lynch and Granny Lynch, that my family won't be able to inherit the Lynch family fortune! “

As soon as they heard this, some of the inmates sneered at Luna, and some of them immediately walked over and placed their dirty hands all over her face.

“What a beautiful face. I wonder if it'll be just as pretty with wounds and injuries all over it.“

“What are you in for, gorgeous?“

“Why don't you help us clean the bathroom? If you refuse, you'll have to lick the entire bathroom clean Luna, who had been slumped on the floor, propped herself up weakly when she heard the inmates' taunts and jeers.

“Clean the bathroom? Alright, I'll do it.“

Luna knew that she had no choice but to give in, especially in a place like this.

Joshua had said that he would take care of everything. Therefore, the only thing she could do was protect herself so that she would still be alive when they finally released her from prison.

Luna let out an exhale, regained her composure, and turned to walk toward the bathroom.

Everyone in the cell was a little surprised by her actions.

The woman at the forefront of the gang narrowed her eyes at Luna's retreating figure, then turned to glance at Celia. “You and she have past vengeance, so you should keep an eye on her.“

Celia sneered. “Okay! “

With that, she strode over and gave Luna, who was retrieving a mop, a hard kick on her shin.

Luna lost her balance and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she had grabbed onto the mop's handle in time, which stopped her from falling.

She turned around and shot Celia a murderous glare.

Celia crossed her arms in front of her chest and snickered. “What's wrong? You don't like it?“

With that, she inched closer to Luna and continued, “ I'm one of the popular ones in this cell, so if you don't want to get beaten up in your sleep, you'd better do as I say, or else! “

Luna nodded dazedly, turned around, and entered the bathroom, clutching the mop with her.

Celia let out a sneer and followed her.

Half an hour later, Luna finished cleaning the bathroom. However, her clothes were stained with urine and feces as a result of the cleaning.

Celia followed her out of the bathroom triumphantly and crossed her arms in front of her chest, sneering, “Well, well, well. I would never have expected a famous jewelry designer, Joshua Lynch's love of his life, to be this dirty and smelly! “

Luna stood next to the sink in silence and removed her jumpsuit to wash it.

Celia continued to laugh at her in contempt while surrounded by the rest of the inmates. ”What do you guys think Joshua would feel if he sees her like this? Will he be so disgusted that he can't eat?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1324

As soon as Celia finished her sentence, the cell door opened.

The corrections officer glanced at Luna coldly and said, “Come on out; someone's here to see you.“

Luna paused for a moment, then put on her wet jumpsuit and turned to follow the corrections officer out of the cell, her actions as stiff as a robot.

Bonnie, dressed head to toe in red, was waiting anxiously in the visitation room.

A smelly Luna was brought into the visitation room by the officer, who held her nose all the way. Luna had not finished washing her soiled jumpsuit yet, and there were still traces of urine and feces on her clothes.

She sat down in front of Bonnie.

Bonnie ignored the stench wafting off Luna's body and immediately grabbed hold of her hand. “Did someone bully you?“

Luna nodded and asked in a calm, hoarse voice, “Are Joshua and the children okay?“

She did not mention anything about what had happened in the cell. Instead, the first thing that came out of her mouth was worry and concern over her loved ones.

Luna was worried about Joshua. After all, Granny was his closest family. Even if they had mentally prepared for Granny's passing before this, it was still hard to accept that Granny had died at the hands of a murderer.

Luna had yet to stomach this news, so it was no doubt that it would be even more difficult for Joshua to accept this, considering he had always treated Granny like his only family.

Luna knew that Joshua must be grieving over Granny's death, feeling lost and anxious at the same time.

However, because she was stuck in jail, she could not help him at all, even though she was his partner and the person that Granny had entrusted with taking care of Joshua before she passed...

Not only was she unable to help Joshua, but she even needed him to prove her innocence.

Also, the children...

They were all so fond of their Great -Granny. With her abrupt death, Luna knew that the children must have been devastated.

This was when they needed her more than ever.

However, because they could not go to her, Luna wondered if they would go to Joshua instead and make him feel even more sorrowful and frustrated.

Bonnie let out a deep sigh when she heard Luna's response. She shot Luna a helpless look and said, “ Why are you still thinking about them at a time like this? You're the one in trouble now! “

Luna shook her head impassively. “I'm still fine.“ She could still bear the humiliation and pain she was going through.

Bonnie let out another sigh. “I was out the entire night yesterday, and I've been catching up on my sleep this morning. If it weren't for Joshua, I wouldn't even have known that you're stuck here in jail.

“Joshua had wanted to visit you himself, but now... As soon as he stepped out the door, he'd be tailed and followed by the press, and he wouldn't be able to get rid of them no matter what.

“Those reporters are like flies, constantly asking revolting questions as soon as they get the chance. He didn't want to cause you any trouble, so he sent me here instead.“

Bonnie gripped Luna's hands tightly and added, “ Joshua wants me to tell you that he believes you're innocent. He believes that you didn't kill Granny Lynch.

“He wants you to wait, and when he brings you home from jail, you can send Granny Lynch off together.“

Tears slid down Luna's face as soon as she heard this. She closed her eyes and nodded. “I know.“

As long as Joshua believed in her, she would have the courage to continue living like this.

Bonnie comforted Luna for some time, holding her hand, and finally, let out an exhale. “Luna, there's also one thing I wanted to tell you. I passed by Bay Bridge on my way here, and I saw...“

She fell silent for a moment, then finally continued

slowly, ”I saw your father Joseph and your mother Natasha crying on the bridge, and they were placing flowers as a tribute for Aura.”

Bonnie furrowed her brows. ”Wasn't Aura just an adopted child?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1325

Luna could not help but curl her lips into a smirk when she heard this. “Maybe to them, I'm the adopted one instead.“

Six years ago, when she got caught in her accident and everyone thought she had died, Natasha and Joseph had never paid tribute to her or mourned her death. Not only that, but Natasha even claimed that Luna's death was caused by her disloyalty.

Luna had already gotten used to these double standards.

She let out an exhale and lifted her head to stare at Bonnie. “I'm sorry, but I'll need you to help me take care of Nigel, Neil, and Nellie for the time being.“

Bonnie nodded. “Don't worry about it.“

Due to the photo of Joshua kissing Luna's forehead circulating in the news, Joshua had become the center of the media's attention.

Before visiting Luna, Bonnie had already volunteered to take the children into her care and had brought them over to her place.

At this moment, Anne and John were looking after them while she visited Luna in prison.

Visitation hours were soon over.

Luna stood up and gave Bonnie a bow, then turned and followed the corrections officer out of the room.

Bonnie wiped her tears away and turned to leave as well.

It might have been because Bonnie had lodged a complaint, but Luna was not brought back to Celia's cell after the visit and instead taken to a single room covered in rust and mold.

Even though the living environment was terrible, Luna still managed to get some rest without Celia and the other inmates' taunting.

She had a dream.

In her dream, blood was still sputtering out of the wound in Granny Lynch's chest.

However, Granny Lynch smiled as she gazed at Luna. “Remember what you said.

“No matter what, you can't give up on Joshua...“

The light in Blue Bay Villa's study remained on for an entire night.

Joshua spent an entire night gathering the most skilled investigators all over the world, but even with their help, he could not find any clues.

The crime scene had been cleaned up too perfectly, and there were no other fingerprints found at the location apart from Luna and Granny Lynch's, as well as those belonging to the doctors and nurses that had looked after Granny.

There were no witnesses to this crime, and all the evidence pointed toward Luna as the culprit.

More than ten investigators spent the entire night poring over this case, but they could not come up with any significant findings at all.

Just as Joshua was about to hang up the phone, however, one of the detectives piped up, “I looked at the police examination report performed on the corpse.

“There were traces of having swallowed something hard before Granny's death, according to her oral and dental examination. Since she was ill, I'm guessing that you wouldn't have let her eat anything hard...

“Therefore, she must have swallowed this object while the murderer was trying to kill her.

“The only way to find out what it is to perform an autopsy on Granny. Maybe the object that she swallowed can help us identify the murderer.“

With that, the detective hung up. Joshua closed his eyes.

Did they...have to perform an autopsy on Granny?

Granny was a conservative person, so she would not have liked the idea of her body being cut open after her death.

On the other hand, if they did not perform an autopsy, they would not be able to find new evidence to prove Luna's innocence.

Nonetheless, he could not guarantee that the police would obtain new evidence from the autopsy...

Joshua remained in his study for the whole night, mulling over this. At one point, he even considered the idea of breaking Luna out of prison and taking her somewhere far away from here.

However, as soon as he calmed down, he knew that this was impossible.

He could not let Luna bear the false name of a murderer for the rest of her life, nor could he allow the real murderer to get off scot-free and not avenge Granny's death.

The sun rose.

Lucas knocked on Joshua's study door. “Sir, preparations for the funeral are all ready. As soon as the coroner finishes with the autopsy today, we'll be able to bury Granny."

Joshua let out a grunt of affirmation, picked up his coat, and stood up.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1326

After an entire night of contemplation, Joshua finally decided to abide by the detectives' suggestions and agree to an autopsy.

He believed that if Granny was watching from heaven, she, too, would wish to see Luna being proven innocent.

After coming out of the house, Joshua followed Lucas and got into the car.

More than ten cars belonging to the media trailed behind Joshua's Masevati all the way from Blue Bay Villa to the police station.

Joshua's decision to authorize an autopsy on his grandmother's corpse spread through the city like wildfire and became the headline of almost every news outlet in Banyan City.

When the car arrived at the police station, Joshua was stopped by Adrian and Michael, who had been waiting at the entrance, as soon as he got out of the car.

Adrian, along with a swollen, injured Michael, blocked Joshua's path.

“As the victim's family and only son, I object to an autopsy! “ Adrian declared, dressed in a neat suit. “ Joshua Lynch, don't you dare humiliate my mother's corpse even after her death! “

Joshua narrowed his eyes and stared at Adrian coldly. “The aim of the autopsy is to obtain evidence and find the real murderer. What are you trying to achieve by objecting against this autopsy, Master Lynch?”

Adrian scoffed. ”Find the real murderer?”

He raised his voice and deliberately angled his face to face the cameras behind Joshua, saying, ”It's already clear who the real murderer is! It's Luna, the woman you kissed yesterday ! All the evidence is clear as day! "

He glared at Joshua coldly, his face entirely devoid of the nervousness he had experienced when Joshua interrogated him the day before. ”What are you trying to do, Joshua? Luna killed your grandmother , but you kissed her on the forehead. The evidence points to Luna being the murderer , yet you still want to perfor m an autopsy on Granny and find evidence to topple this case!

”Granny raised you from a young age! You know better than anyone how well she treated you! ”

With that, Adrian pointed at Joshua in anger and continued, ”Do you know how much Granny has sacrificed for you? I know what's going on! You're jealous ! You're jealous of Michael because Granny liked him more than you ever since I brought him back to visit her. You're afraid that we'd steal the Lynch family inheritance from you, so you ordered your woman Luna to kill Granny! "

As he said this, tears started to stream down Adrian's face. ”Your Granny's dead now, yet you still want to help that woman escape. What right do you have to be a part of the Lynch family? What right do you have to be CEO of Lynch Group? You're a disgrace to the family name! “

Adrian was so passionate and agitated when he said this that he appeared as though he was genuinely furious over his mother's death.

Joshua narrowed his eyes and stared at Adrian coldly. “There's someone smarter than you who's teaching you how to do this.“

Otherwise, according to Adrian's level of intelligence, he would not have thought of causing a scene in front of the police station like this.

Adrian felt a little guilty when he heard this. He sneered at Joshua. “What's wrong? Are you trying to change the topic because I exposed the truth?“

Joshua curled his lips into a small smile. Then, he lifted his head to gaze at the crowd before him. “My request for an autopsy is a fulfillment of my responsibility for Granny's death.“

With that, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Adrian. “Why are you so afraid of this autopsy, Master Lynch? Are you afraid that everyone will find out Luna isn't the real killer after the autopsy?“

The color drained from Adrian's face. He bit down on his lip and glowered at Joshua. “Even after the autopsy, Luna will still be the murdered. This won't change a thing! “

With that, he scoffed and continued, “Joshua, if you want to proceed with the autopsy that badly, then I won't stop you. Otherwise, you'll think I 'm doing this out of guilt, but as Mother's only son, I must protect her dignity!

”Therefore, before that, you must sign this contract stating that if no new evidence was found after the autopsy, then you'll have to give up all of Lynch Group's shares! "

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1327

The entire crowd fell into silence upon hearing this. Everyone's gaze was fixated upon Joshua.

“What wrong, coward?“ Adrian crossed his arms in front of his chest, a triumphant expression etched in his eyes. “Joshua, please don't blame Daddy for being cruel like this. Luna killed your grandmother, and we already have plenty of evidence for this, but why are you so stubborn to insist on performing an autopsy to obtain new evidence?

“Well, if you indeed find new evidence, then all's good, but if you can't find any, then this means you deliberately damaged your grandmother's dead body.

“This is an act of disloyalty to the family, and it'd be understandable if I chased you out of the Lynch family itself, but I 'm showing you mercy and only asking you to give up your shares instead of being exiled.“

With that, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “So what is it, sign or no sign?“

Joshua narrowed his eyes but did not reply.

The reporters murmured underneath their breaths at this sudden twist of events. “How could Joshua Lynch possibly give up all his shares of Lynch Group? After all, this is the company he spent many years working on, so how could he give it all up so easily?“

“But if he doesn't sign this contract...he won't be able to proceed with the autopsy without Adrian's authorization.“

“Can he really find new evidence with the autopsy? “

“Who knows? All we know now is that all the evidence points to Luna, except the autopsy. If he goes on with the autopsy, he might be able to prove Luna's innocence. If he doesn't, then Luna will have to go to jail...“

“If it was up to me, I won't even sign the contract. She's just a woman; it doesn't matter if she's innocent or not. To risk losing more than a hundred billion dollars of Lynch Group assets over a woman isn't worth it at all...“

“That's right... That's more than a hundred billion we're talking about. You can get so many more women with that money...“

Joshua furrowed his brows when he heard this.

Michael, who was standing next to Adrian, felt just as triumphant. He immediately set down the documents on the desk in front of Adrian and said, “ Come on, Joshua. Tell us if you're going to sign or not! “

This was the first time he had ever seen Joshua like this.

Tsk. Joshua had even claimed that Luna was the most important woman in his life, but in the end, when faced with the risk of losing the family inheritance over her, he still hesitated.

He had accused all of them of being greedy for money, but he, too, was just the same.

What a hypocrite!

As soon as Michael said this, the rest of the reporters started chanting as well. “Yeah, what's taking so long? Are you going to sign or not?“

“Don't waste our time, will you?“

Joshua remained motionless and clenched his fists.

He was not afraid of losing all his money. He did not think that he would end up as poor as Adrian and Michael even after leaving Lynch Group.

However, he did not want to see Lynch Group, the product of a few generations, land in the wrong hands.

Not only was Lynch Group a product of his hard work, but also Granny's, as well as his ancestors before him. If he gave all this up...

Joshua knew that in less than two years, Lynch Group would go into bankruptcy in the hands of Adrian and Michael.

However, if he could not prove Luna's innocence...

Joshua let out an exhale and lifted his head to stare at Adrian. “Alright, I'll sign.“

He was willing to take this risk for Luna. On top of that, he believed in Granny.

He believed that whatever she swallowed before her death would definitely be able to identify the true killer!

He was willing to risk losing Lynch Group to prove Luna's innocence and bring Granny's killer to justice.

Everyone fell into silence upon hearing this.

The reporters exchanged glances. Everyone had thought Joshua would refuse to sign the contract and give up Lynch Group, but...

To everyone's surprise, he had agreed!

Adrian was overjoyed by this. “All right, come over and sign it!"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1328

Michael immediately took out a pen and handed it to Joshua in excitement. “Come on, sign it, quick! “

He did not believe that they would find the real culprit just because they cut Granny Lynch up.

As soon as Joshua signed this contract, all the assets of Lynch Group would belong to both him and Adrian!

Michael was even estimating the number of bottles of champagne he would open in celebration of this event.

Joshua narrowed his eyes and walked over to the table in determination, then picked up his pen—

“Wait! “ a female voice rang out of the blue. This voice sounded familiar...

Joshua immediately turned around and glanced in the direction of the police station entrance, where the voice had come from.

Luna, dressed in a jumpsuit with Bonnie's red trench coat draped over her, stood at the entrance, propped up with Bonnie's help.

Joshua's pupils enlarged as soon as he caught sight of the woman who had grown haggard overnight. He immediately strode over. “Luna...“

Michael, who was standing a short distance away, immediately furrowed his brows. “You... How did you get out?“

Bonnie rolled her eyes at him. “Haven't you heard of being released on bail and awaiting trial before?“

Joshua grabbed hold of Luna and asked in a low voice, “How did you get out?“

“I'm not feeling well, so Bonnie bailed me out.“ Joshua frowned upon hearing this. “What's wrong?“ Luna blushed. “I'll tell you about it in the future.“

With that, she let out an exhale and lifted her head to glance at Adrian and Michael in the distance, as well as the contract placed on the table in front of them. “ Joshua, are you sure you want to sign this?“

She clutched Joshua's hand with her pale, cold, weak one and said, “Don't sign it because of me. It's not worth it.“

Besides, Luna, along with the rest of the spectators, did not think that an old lady more than 70 years old would leave any evidence inside her body the moment a knife pierced her chest.

If they did not manage to find any new evidence through the autopsy...

Then, Lynch Group would fall into the hands of Adrian and Michael, and Granny's death would never be avenged.

“This is the only way.“ Joshua smiled at Luna as he held her hand in his. “Why are you so against me signing this contract? Are you afraid that I'd go broke if I lost Lynch Group?“

With that, he raised his hand to tuck her hair behind her ear. “Will you and the children still be willing to stay by my side even if I'm broke?“

Luna knew he was saying this on purpose. She let out an exasperated sigh. “If you go broke, then Nellie and I will have to earn money to support you.“

With that, she glanced again at the crowd surrounding them. “If you really have to...then sign it.”

She was not afraid that Joshua would go broke, but instead, she did not think he needed to sacrifice so much for her.

However, if this were his choice, she would not object.

After all, it was all for her good.

As soon as he got Luna's support, Joshua walked

over to the table, picked up the pen, and scrawled his name on the contract. Then, he took Luna's hand in his and strode into the police station.

Adrian and Michael's cheers echoed from outside the door.

However, Joshua ignored this and instead handed the autopsy authorization letter, which Adrian had willingly signed, to the coroner.

Granny Lynch was wheeled into the autopsy room.

Joshua clutched Luna's hand and pulled her into his embrace. None of them said a word and instead leaned against each other in silence as they stared at the autopsy room door.

After more than an hour, the door was pushed open.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1329

The coroner opened the door.

Joshua, who should have been the first one to get out of his chair, did not move at all.

However, his grip around Luna's hand tightened.

Luna knew that he was emotional over the impending news, so she gently released his head.

She immediately stood up and asked the coroner in a soft voice, “How is it, doctor?“

The coroner removed his mask and let out an exhale. “Mr. Lynch, Ms. Luna, you took a big risk, but it was worth it.“

Luna's entire face lit up when she heard this.

Joshua, who had been motionless in his chair, was relieved to hear this well. His furrowed brows immediately relaxed.

The coroner took out a description report and explained, “Because the object was removed from a dead body and, on top of that, was not in good condition at all, I can't show you the artifact itself. You'll have to look at this report instead.

“Mr. Lynch made a correct guess: When Ms. Lydia Hamilton was murdered, she swallowed a foreign object. According to the erosion of the object in her stomach, she was murdered less than a minute after she swallowed it.“

Luna immediately took the report from the coroner.

Joshua, too, stood up and fixed his gaze on the report.

The object that Granny Lynch had swallowed was a bloodstained bandage.

The doctors had already retrieved the DNA from the blood and confirmed that it did not belong to Granny Lynch.

This bandage...

Joshua felt the blood in his heart churn when he laid eyes on the report.

This bandage was made from a special material, so much so that only one person in Banyan City was using it.

Joshua still remembered that a few days ago, when h e beat Michael up after he had tried to assault Luna, Celia had gone to Granny Lynch, wailing, and requested that Joshua buy a special bandage from abroad that was made from an advanced material.

At that time, Joshua was too busy dealing with Luna and Aura, and on top of that, he did not want Granny to deal with such trivial matters like this, so he abided by Celia's request and ordered the bandage that she wanted.

At that time, he had ordered plenty of it, but Michael still managed to use up all of them despite that.

Therefore, just a few days later, he ran out of the bandage.

When Celia approached Joshua to request more supply of bandages, she was rejected.

Because of this, Joshua remembered this particular bandage quite well. At this moment, while he stared a t the description of the bandage material on the report, he could not help but feel ironic about this turn of events.

Initially, he had abided by Celia's request so that she would not pester Granny Lynch any further and decided to use his manpower and time to order this special bandage for Michael, but at this point...

This bandage had turned into the most crucial evidence in Granny's murder after she ingested it.

Joshua remained silent for a long while, then finally lifted his head to glance at the coroner. “When will the DNA results of the blood come out?“

The coroner paused for a moment, then replied, “ It'll take only half an hour.“

With that, he glanced at Luna and continued, “When that happens, we'll compare the DNA from the blood to Ms. Luna's. If it doesn't match, this proves that there was a third person at the scene of the crime.“

Joshua paused. “Then can I suggest that we add another DNA into the comparison?“

The coroner thought about this for a moment. “Yes, of course. Whose DNA do you want to—“

“I want to add my brother, Michael Lynch's DNA into the comparison.“

With that, Joshua bade farewell to the coroner and left the police station while holding Luna's hand.

An hour ago, the police station had been bustling with activity from all the reporters gathered outside, but at this point, only Bonnie and Lucas remained.

Adrian and Michael had left with the reporters.

Bonnie approached Luna and Joshua as soon as she caught sight of them. “What happened?“

Before Luna could answer, Joshua furrowed his brows slightly. “Where's Adrian and Michael?“

Bonnie grew outraged as soon as Joshua brought up their names. She let out a snort of indignation and said, “They've left along with the reporters to the press conference venue in the city center. They said they want to decorate the venue so that you can sign the contract for shares transferal when you get out of the police station.“

Bonnie grew more and more furious as she said this. “You didn't even get to see the look on their faces! It's like they already knew you wouldn't be able to find any evidence, so they've decided to celebrate early!

“Adrian even said that he spent more than a hundred thousand dollars to decorate the venue and even prepared wine, champagne, and cake for the celebration. He even wanted to invite me—the third wealthiest person in Banyan City—to join the festivities...“

“What nonsense! The autopsy report isn't even done yet. Even if the results are out and there really isn't any evidence, his mother just passed less than two days ago, but he's already celebrating, just because he received Lynch Group's shares. What a heartless person! “

Joshua sneered when he saw how outraged Bonnie was. “This is a man who instructed his son to kill his own mother... Do you think this kind of person has a heart at all?“

Luna, Bonnie, and Lucas widened their eyes in shock as soon as they heard this.

“Joshua...“ Luna pursed her lips and stared at Joshua. “Have...you decided?“

When they were in the police station, Luna had already heard Joshua wanting the coroner to compare Michael's DNA with the blood on the bandage. She thought he was just suspicious, but with Joshua voicing it out loud...

“Yes, it's mostly decided.“ Joshua closed his eyes and let out a bitter smile. “The material from the special bandage is rarely used among the common population.“

With that, he opened his eyes and commanded in a cold voice, “Lucas, just to be safe, track down the whereabouts of the special bandage that I asked you to buy from abroad.“

“Sure.“

“Also, obtain the security footage in the hospital and find out where Michael was during the time of the incident.“

“Sure, “ answered Lucas with great confidence to Joshua's request. Then, he turned and was about to leave when Joshua stopped him again. “Also, help me find out who Adrian and Michael have been hanging out with recently and where they usually meet.“

He had a feeling that according to Adrian and Michael's intelligence, they would not have been able to plot such an intricate murder on their own, especially Michael.

When Aura had instructed him to cut the brake cables in the past, he had not even thought of wiping away his fingerprints.

This time, the murder was so intricately planned that if they had not performed the autopsy on Granny Lynch, they would not have been able to find any evidence. There must have been someone else working in the back that plotted this whole thing.

Lucas murmured in affirmation, then let out an exhale, got into the car, and left.

After Lucas left, Bonnie turned to glance at Joshua. “So, what's your plan after this? As we speak, your father is now planning the company share reallocation meeting.“

Joshua smirked. “Then let him do as he pleases. If he wants to get his share with the people of Banyan City as witnesses, so be it... Let them see what kind of person he is.“

Granny Lynch had already passed away, so Joshua no longer needed to be considerate about anything.

Bonnie nodded. “All right, then. You guys should get ready. Since I'm invited as a guest, I'll head over there first and see how much they have prepared. “

With that, Bonnie turned, got into her car, and left as well.

After she left, only Joshua and Luna were left outside the police station. At that moment, it was exactly 24 hours since Luna had been detained a day before.

“I'm sorry you had to go through that.“ Joshua sighed and pulled Luna into his arms.

Luna shook her head. “It isn't any trouble. I'm here now, aren't I?“

Even though her time in jail had indeed been a terrible experience, it was still manageable compared to Joshua, who had to deal with everyone's doubts against his action.

Joshua nodded and hugged her even more tightly. “I have a question: You're a murder suspect. Even with the amount of money Bonnie has, it's still impossible for her to bail you out of prison just like that. How did you get out?“

Luna blushed but did not say anything in response.

Joshua could feel her face getting warm, and he slowly curled his lips into a smile. “One thing I do know is...a pregnant woman can be released on bail.“
