Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1601

The doctor took up to an hour to clean Rosalyn's wounds.

When it was almost done, only then did Malcolm and Heather arrive with another doctor.

Malcolm and Heather's clothes were rather unkempt. There was also an obvious hickey on his neck.

When the two of them entered, Jim looked at his watch and sneered.

"More than an hour. The journey from the Quinns to here takes about half an hour, yet you both took more than an hour..." Jim said while he swept them a cold glance.

He sneered. "Don't tell me that after taking my call, you two were still doing the bedroom deed?"

Heather's expressions turned rather ugly for being exposed to the things that she just did.

Malcolm, on the other hand, chuckled a little. He gently hugged Heather and said, "Heather told me that you called, saying that something has happened to Rosalyn. I know that Christopher isn't around, and I'm sure you don't have a doctor at your disposal."

Malcolm smiled and pulled the old doctor standing behind them timidly over. "Heather and I went to look for the city's best doctor specializing in treating people in a vegetative state, Dr. Greg."

Dr. Greg, who was sweating profusely, nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Quinn and Ms. Landry came to me and explained the situation. They took some time... persuading me."

In fact, he had received Malcolm's call an hour ago. He had arrived at the gate of the Quinns early, waiting for Malcolm and Heather to finish their business before coming over together with them.

However, Dr. Greg was old. He could read the situation well. Since he had already received Malcolm's money, he would play along with him.

Jim harrumphed coldly and pointed to the chair by the side.

"We don't need you for tonight, Dr. Greg. The doctor I found an hour ago has done everything already. Why don't you take a seat?"

The gray-haired Dr. Greg nodded and cautiously sat on the chair by the side.

The atmosphere in the room turned quiet. Malcol m sighed heartbrokenly. He looked at Luna and Jim.

"Why did you call us over so late at night? What happened to Rosalyn?"

"What happened?" Jim harrumphed coldIy. His gaze was sharp as a knife, glaring at Heather, who was in Malcolm's arms.

"You should ask the woman in your arms what happened!" Jim said and angrily walked over to Rosalyn's bed. He showed the freshly cleaned wounds on her back to Malcolm and Heather.

"Look!"

Malcolm swept a glance at Rosalyn, and he was instantly in shock, fear, and anger. He turned and looked at Luna coldly.

"Luna, Rosalyn has been under your care all this while. How could you let her back fester this way? How in the world have you been caring for her?" Malcolm pretended he did not know about the medication and angrily reprimanded Luna.

Luna narrowed her eyes and looked at Malcolm coldIy. "Do you really think I'll let my mother's back fester that way?"

Previously, when Malcolm questioned her this way, Luna would think that it was because Malcolm did not understand the situation, which was why he would angrily question her.

Luna would understand and forgive him for his reaction. However, at that moment...

Luna did not know why, ever since the night before at the hospital, after she heard Malcolm saying how he was the one that ruined her looks previously...

No matter whether Malcolm was telling the truth or saying the right thing, Luna felt like he was wearing a mask. He was pretentious and not to be trusted.

No one would be able to tell if he was sincere or not...just like what was happening at that moment.

Back then, Malcolm had mentioned to her more than once that he knew clearly what type of person she was.

Everyone in this world might do unkind things to their family, but Luna would never. Malcolm trusted her.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1602

However, Malcolm, at that moment, was blaming her for Rosalyn's rotting back. D id he not say that he trusted her the most? Was his trust so cheap?

Malcolm paused a little at Luna's words. He just wanted to confuse Jim, letting Jim think that he completely did not know about Rosalyn's back. He never thought that he would have overdone it when he said those words. After all, he never treated Luna that coldly before.

"The wound on Mom's back has nothing to do with Luna." Seeing how it was rather awkward between Luna and Malcolm,  Jim furrowed  his  brows and broke  the silence.

"The doctor came to check on her just now. He confirmed that someone else had hurt Mom. Someone used a special medication on her back that could speed up the decaying process of a person in a vegetative state. This is why Mom's back had festered so terribly within less than a day."

Then, Jim looked up and glared at Heather with reddened eyes.

"Luna and Luna's staff would never do this to Mom. We've checked through it. Today, the only person that came to visit Mom was Heather."

Jim continued in an ice-cold tone void of any emotions, " Heather, how do you explain yourself?"

Heather blushed instantly upon Jim's words. She glared at Jim angrily. "What nonsense are you spewing? Riley is almost a month old! I brought Riley over to let Mom have a look! How could you accuse me like that?"

Luna squinted. "Besides you, no one came to see Mom today."

After Heather visited Rosalyn and left, Luna and Gwen left to do their prayers. Other than the servants, no one has visited Rosalyn's room.

"It's true, I did come to visit Mom, but that does not mean I'll harm her!" Heather bit her lip. Tears started to form in her eyes. "Why does it have to be me just because I entered her room? Can't it be anyone else?"

Jim sneered. Living with her for so many years, Jim was long immune to Heather's tears. Not only was he not heartbroken when he saw her cry, but he also felt like laughing.

Jim cleared his throat. "Then, tell me, besides you, who else?"

"Her." Heather reached out and pointed at Luna. "What if Luna saw that I came to visit Mom, so after she left, she secretly put the medication on Mom, wanting to frame me for it?"

Luna was amused by Heather's nonsensical logic.

"Unfortunately for you, besides just now, I've never entered Mom's room today."

"Why should we believe you just because you said so?"

Heather turned to look at Malcolm. When she saw Malcolm gently nodding at her, she sneered and continued, "Luna, it's pointless without any proof. Do you dare retrieve today's surveillance footage?"

Luna squinted. "Why don't I dare?"

When he saw Luna agreeing to it, a hint of sinister flashed across Malcolm's eyes.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1603

Soon, the surveillance footage was retrieved. Jim played through the footage at the fastest possible speed.

It was exactly like Luna said.

Because Heather and Charles came to visit that morning, Luna, who usually liked to visit Rosalyn after breakfast, did not step into the side wing.

Besides the usual servants that cared for Rosalyn, only Heather had entered her room.

Jim played the footage back twice. Then, he sneered and looked at Heather.

"What else do you have to say for yourself?"

Heather panicked a little. She subconsciously looked at Malcolm with panic written in her eyes. She was told that Joshua would appear in the footage, and all she had to do was insist that Joshua was the one who did it, that it had nothing to do with her.

Why did Joshua not appear in the surveillance footage?

Malcolm squinted a little looking at the playback of the footage. He never would have thought that Joshua would be so meticulous to delete himself from the surveillance footage!

Malcolm clenched one of his fists tightly while hugging Heather around her shoulders with his other arm. He narrowed his eyes fiercely.

He knew that Joshua appeared an hour after Heather and Luna left. If he were to scroll the footage to that specific time, he would definitely find the clues he needed.

Although Joshua was careful, the quickest possible way to change the surveillance footage was to delete the footage where he was present.

There would be a break in the time-lapse of the footage. As long as he could find the break in the time-lapse, he could easily point out that someone had secretly edited the surveillance footage and snuck into Rosalyn's room.

However, this would create more trouble if he were to do that. Luna and Jim would press fun her as to why he would suddenly think of this. They would also question him on why he could accurately find out about the break in the time-lapse on the footage.

However, if he did not do that, finding the break in the footage by playing through the entire footage from the beginning was too much a waste of time. Luna and Jim would get impatient, too.

At that thought, Malcolm could not help but furrowed his brows. He never thought that even if he secretly set Joshua up, Joshua would still pose such a huge challenge to him because of the surveillance issue!

"Since I'm already here, I should get to work." At that moment, D r. Greg, by the side, got up and slowly walked to Rosalyn with his suitcase. He slowly approached the doctor who was checking up on Rosalyn, standing next to him and staned assessing Rosalyn's back.

After discussing among themselves in hushed tones, Dr. Greg combed through his beard and said, "Since Ms.

Landry denies that it was her that did it, I have a better solution."

Then, he pointed at Ro salyn's back and said calmly, "We estimate that the time that someone applied the

medication on Ro salyn's back was between nine to ten in the morning."

Then, he looked at the time when Heather left Rosalyn's room on the surveillance footage.

"Ms. Land ry left here around eight something. There is an hour in between."

Luna furrowed her brows a little at Dr. Greg's words.

"Doctor, are you sure that the time someone applied the medication on my mother's back is between nine to ten in the morning?"

Dr. Greg nodded. "The patient's body never lies, and the medication is very strong. If the medication was applied one hour later, the decay wouldn't be like this. If it was applied an hour earlier, it would have been much worse."

Luna furrowed her brows and subconsciously looked at Jim upon hearing what Dr. Greg said.

"But, between nine and ten, from the surveillance footage, only the usual servants entered mom's room."

Malcolm took the chance to scroll the footage to between nine and ten in the morning. He pretended to be confused and asked, "Could one of the servants resented Heather, so after Heather  left, they deliberately  applied the medication on Rosalyn to frame Heather?"

Malcolm pretended to casually scroll through the footage, looking at the time-lapse of it, while trying to find the break in the time-lapse.

Heather immediately helped Malcolm.

"How is it possible? This was the first time I visited Luna. How could I have any feud with her servants?"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1604

"If you want to talk about beefs..."

Heather looked up and laid her eyes on Gwen, who was next to Luna. "I did have a small altercation with Luna's friend."

Gwen instantly frowned upon Heather's words.

"What do you mean by that? Heather Landry, are you trying to say that I deliberately hurt Luna's mother to frame you?"

Gwen harrumphed coldly and said, "If I dislike you, why do I need to hurt others to frame you? I'll just choke you to death!"

Gwen knew better than anyone else how important Rosalyn was to Luna, yet Heather was trying to frame her!

Looking at Gwen's reaction, Heather could not help but cross her arms at her chest and sneer. "Choke me? You, a nobody? Without Luke Jones' help, you won't even be able to defeat a starving beggar on the streets."

Gwen was so infuriated that she gritted her teeth.

"Stop it!" Right when both women were at a tense stand- off, Malcolm took a deep breath and finally opened his mouth. He pulled Jim over and pointed at the break in the time-lapse of the footage.

"Jim, look. From here. Two and a half minutes were gone. Someone had deleted them. Here too. There is two deleted footage between nine and ten in the morning. They are twenty-five minutes apart."

Then, Malcolm frowned and looked up at Jim. "Someone must have entered Mom's room and stayed

there for about twenty-five minutes. Then, they deleted the surveillance footage."

Jim furrowed his brows. He observed closer once again upon Malcolm's words. It was true. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Heather coldly. "What were you doing between nine and ten this morning?"

Heather rolled her eyes. "I was sending Dad to the hospital!

"Not long after Dad and I left here, we bumped into Joshua. Dad and Joshua had an argument, and Dad almost got choked to death by Joshua. So, around that time, I should be sending Dad to the hospital!"

Then, Heather suddenly seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Jim and said, "Yes, I remember it now. When we met Joshua, he was coming from the direction of mom's room! The time fits!"

Then, Heather's eyes widened. "Don't tell me...that since Joshua didn't successfully kill Mom eight years ago, he used this dirty trick on Mom this time when Luna isn't at home, trying to make her rot?!"

The entire room was instantly silenced.

Jim furrowed his brows. "Stop talking nonsense." Jim still could not bear to see other people talking bad about Joshua.

Thus, he turned around and looked at the servants still kneeling on the ground.

"You all dare to say that no one else has come here today besides Heather? If you still plan to stick to that story, that means all of you are responsible for the medication. I'll immediately send you all to hell!"

The servants were scared half to death by Jim's threats. After a while, one of the servants stood up, trembling.

"I ...I'll admit. This morning, after Ms. Luna and Ms. Landry left, Joshua has indeed come to visit Mrs. Landry."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1605

The entire room was instantly in silence.

Luna looked at the servants in front of her in disbelief. She looked at the servants kneeling on the ground, yet their voices seemed to come from far away.

"Vivian, say it one more time. Who came here yesterday?"

The servant named Vivian lowered her head even more. "J—Joshua Lynch."

Vivian bit her lip and toughened herself up. "Every one of us received bribes from Joshua, so no one wanted to admit it, including... Including the security in the surveillance footage room. They received bribes from Joshua to delete the footage of his appearance..."

By the time she said that, Vivian's entire body was almost on the ground. She took out a bank card from her pockets, handing it to Luna with both hands.

"Joshua said that there is a hundred thousand in this card... Every one of us received the same card..."

Luna stood on the spot and almost lost her balance.

The lights above her became extremely glaring, and her brain hurt as if it was pricked by needles.

Seeing how Luna did not pick up the card in Vivian's hands, Heather strode over in a couple of steps, stepped on Vivian's feet, and picked the card up.

It was a black and gold-plated card. On it, the word [Lynch] was written in bold. It was a card given to employees as bonuses, exclusively for the Lynch Group.

Heather waved the card in her hand and laughed mockingly. "How is a card belonging to the Lynch Group appearing here?"

Then, she glared at the other servants kneeling on the ground and said in a cold and low voice, "I'm sure all of you have one too, right? Take it out!"

The servants kneeling on the floor looked at each other, then they took the cards out of their pockets.

Jim narrowed his eyes angrily. He looked at the butler who was looking at the surveillance footage by the side. "How about you?"

The butler was silent for a while before fishing a card out from his pocket.

Like the servants, the cards were all in black with a golden [Lynch] printed on them.

When he took the card, Jim angrily kicked at the butler. " You'll take whatever money you can get, don't you? Did you delete the footage?!"

The butler, who was laying on the ground, bit his lip and nodded.

"But..." He got up with difficulty. "I had also backed up the original footage." Then, he produced a memory stick from his pocket and connected it to the computer.

Soon, the footage of Joshua appearing by the door of the side wing was shown to everyone.

Luna bit her lip. She took a few steps backward rather listlessly. In the end, she sat on the chair by the corner.

How did this happen? She subconsciously looked at Rosalyn, who was lying quietly in bed. Her heart hurt as if she was being stabbed.

It was as if Rosalyn's decaying flesh had also decayed her heart.

Heather smiled as she held the stack of cards and smiled mockingly at Luna.

"If I remember correctly, these are the cards the Lynch Group use to give out bonuses to their employees, right? Now that every one of your servants has one...

"How come I never knew that your servants and bodyguards are employees from the Lynch Group?"

Luna bit her lip hard. She felt as if her every single fiber of being was trembling!

"It seems like the truth is out."

Malcolm pretended to sigh helplessly. He took the stack of cards from Heather and placed them on the table. "There are more than a million here. Joshua really spent a huge amount to cover his tracks." Then, Malcolm looked at Luna and then at Jim. "Now, we have the footage, the witness, and the time that Rosalyn was hurt."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1606

"You two still refuse to believe that Joshua was the one that hurt Rosalyn?"

Jim narrowed his eyes, not saying anything.

Luna's head hurt. The words Mickey told her that night appeared in her mind.

She closed her eyes as despair washed over her. From the moment she knew that her mother was the main culprit in killing Granny Lynch, she knew that Joshua would never let it go easily.

However, she did not expect that he would bribe all the staff in her house while she was gone and do such a cruel thing to her!

He was bullying a person in a vegetative state! He should have just stabbed her instead!

Jim lowered his and sighed slowly.

When she saw them not talking, Heather was extremely smug. She sneered and said, "Thank goodness we found out about Mom early tonight. Otherwise..."

Heather's gaze turned sharp and looked at Luna.

"You'll be the person to blame! Mom had been doing well at Land ry Mansion, yet you were the one who insisted you wanted to care for her, sending her to this godforsaken place! Look what happened!"

Then, Heather narrowed her eyes. "I'll go look for Dad! I'm going to get him to come to pick her up! It's too dangerous here! At least in Land ry Mansion, I personally picked the servants and bodyguards. I have good judgment in people, unlike someone..."

Every word from Heather was like a slap on Luna's face. Luna clenched her fists tightly, unable to say a single word.

Looking at Luna's miserable face, Heather was even more delighted. She sneered and continued, "Forget about it, we can't wait for tomorrow! I'll call him right now! We'll let Dad

"Enough!" Jim, who had been silent all this while, finally interrupted Heather. "It's the middle of the night, and you know that Dad is in the hospital due to his high blood pressure. Are you planning to kill him by calling him at this hour?"

Jim's words instantly wiped away Heather's arrogant demeanor.

Heather pursed her lips and placed her phone down. "But—"

"It's true, Mom shouldn't continue staying here, but we need to wait until her back heals before sending her back. What do you think will happen to Dad when he sees her in this way?"

Then, Jim sighed. "Luna indeed has to bear some responsibility for this. Her people didn't look after Mom properly. However, the servants weren't selected by Luna, I did. If you want to mock, come at me then."

Heather pursed her lips and said nothing else. The room was in silence once again.

Malcolm squinted, walked over, and held Heather in his arms. "Enough, Heather. I know that you're sad about your mother, but Luna didn't do it on purpose.

"She has liked Joshua for so many years. How could she have possibly thought that Joshua would be so cruel to her mother?"

Then, Malcolm looked at Luna's pale face. "But, Luna, let me tell you this. Joshua has always been cruel and  merciless. What you see is only the wounds on your mother's back. What you don't see is how the Landry Group and Quinn Group have been forced to desperation by Joshua.

"Your mother protected the Landry Group with her life. If the Landry Group goes bankrupt, this will be no different from the decay of her body."

Then, Malcolm took a set of documents out.

"The Landry Group needs your help."

Luna accepted the documents with hands that trembled violently.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1607

The documents that Malcolm gave Luna was an agreement of equity transfer.

The agreement stated that to help the Landrys during the time of crisis, Luna was willing to take out all the shares and properties that her parents had left for her, and work together with the Landrys to go through these difficult times.

Looking at the agreement and the amount that Malcolm demanded from Luna, Luna's hand could not help but tremble.

She still remembered what Rosalyn told her when she first returned to the Landrys. Back then, it was because Charles lost Luna, making her live alone outside for more than 20 years. The Landrys owed it to Luna. Thus, Rosalyn and Charles agreed to take out a portion of the inheritance for Luna as compensation.

However, Luna refused at that point. She was willing to return to the Landry family because of her strong connection with Rosalyn, not because of the Landrys' money.

However, she never expected that Charles and Rosalyn had truly left the lump sum for her. They even made an order that stated without Luna's consent, no one could touch that money.

The inheritance they left for Luna was exorbitantly high. Looking at how stunned Luna was, Malcolm sighed and said flatly, "The inheritance that Charles and Rosalyn left for you is almost half of the Landrys' assets.

"For the past year or so, the Landrys have been only using half of their assets to go up against Joshua. You can imagine how badly the Landrys have been targeted."

Jim, by the side, swept Malcolm a cold glance and sneered. "Thank goodness Mom and Dad decided to put half of their assets under Luna's name. Otherwise, the Landrys would've long been finished by you and Heather."

For the past six months or so, although Jim said that he would not meddle in the Land rys' affairs anymore, he still paid close attention to the Landry Group.

After all, even if his relationship with Charles was terrible, Rosalyn defended the Landry Group with all her might back then. Jim could not sit and do anything.

For the past six months, Heather might seem like she was helping Charles out planning the matters for the Group, but i n fact, she had been tying the Landry Group and the Quinn Group together, getting them involved in the same wrongdoings.

If the Quinns went down, the Landrys would not survive either.

Jim knew of Heather's tricks, yet he never bothered to deal with her, because he knew that half of the Land ry Group's assets were still under Luna.

If Luna officially signed on it, all those assets would be frozen forever. Even Charles and Rosalyn would not be able to touch it.

Alas, Malcolm and Heather were clearly targeting Luna at that moment. Jim could no longer just sit and do nothing nor say nothing.

"Jim, what are you trying to say?" Malcolm narrowed his eyes. "Heather might have made some mistakes on her investments recently, but she's coming from a good place. She's trying to build the Landry Group up again. How could you call her a failure? That's hurtful."

Jim sneered. "What? You dare to do it but don't dare to take the responsibility?"

"Jim." Upon his words, Luna lifted her head and looked at Jim. "Since you know what they're doing at the Landry Group, you must know what the current situation of the Landry Group is."

Luna sniffled and looked at the enormous amount of the agreement. Her eyes felt a little sore.

"The Landry Group right now... Can they not operate without this money?"

The entire room was silent upon Luna's question. Even Jim had to admit that with a broken funding chain, it would be very difficult for the Landry Group to continue operations.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1608

He never would have thought that Charles would be so careless...

Jim's silence explained everything. With the agreement in her hands, Luna hesitated for a very long time. Finally, she took a deep breath, lifted her head, and looked at Malcolm and Heather closely.

"I'll agree to sign this agreement."

Malcolm and Heather's eyes were filled with utter delight.

Their intention that night was only to accuse Joshua and drive a wedge between Luna and Joshua. Malcolm was planning to get Luna to sign only after Rosalyn's death.

A moment ago, Malcolm went with the flow and improvised on the spot, not knowing that Luna would agree to him. It was a delightful surprise!

"Luna." Compared to Malcolm and Heather's excitement, Jim furrowed his brows.

"Don't be reckless. Have you ever thought that if you were to give them all the assets, it still won't stop Joshua's attacks against the Landry Group? The Landry Group will truly have nothing left by then."

At that moment, even if the Landry Group could no longer survive and declared bankruptcy, Luna could still take half of the assets and take care of Charles and Rosalyn for the rest of their lives. The money was enough for the family to continue living.

If Luna were to give it to Charles and Heather, letting them waste it down the drain, the consequences were unimaginable!

Luna turned to look at Jim and smiled. "If we don't use the money, Landry Group will go bankrupt, and what Mom defended all those years back then would have been for nothing."

Malcolm could not help but sigh when he heard what Luna said. "Luna understands it the best. I gave you the agreement today because I knew you'd see through things. If you were to give us some of your inheritance, and with Landry Group joining forces with Quinn Group, we might be able to defeat the evil Lynch Group."

Then, he took out a pen and passed it to Luna.

"Don't worry. Any decision that Heather and I make in the future will be of utmost precaution. We won't let the Landry Group suffer any loss."

Luna accepted the pen, but she did not sign on it yet.

She sat on a chair by the side, placing the agreement and pen on the table. Then, she lifted her head and looked at Malcolm and Heather closely.

"I'll sign the agreement, but I haven't listed out my conditions."

Then, she turned to look at Rosalyn.

"Mom is in such a bad condition. I initially didn't plan on discussing this issue with you tonight. Not in the mood for it.

"Still, Heather, you and Malcolm kept saying how much you care for Mom, but from the moment you entered, none of you ever looked at her. You don't even know how deep the wounds on her back are."

Those words were like a bucket of cold water, dousing Heather and Malcolm's excitement. They were instantly silenced, and they looked at each other.

In the end, Malcolm cleared his throat. "Luna, we do care for Rosalyn. It's only—"

"You can stop with the act." Luna sneered. "I never would've thought that even when Mom was hurt, her back rotting so badly you could see her bones, the only thing on your mind is..."

Luna's voice instantly turned ice-cold. "To get me to sign the agreement so that you could take the Landry Group's money out to cover the mistakes you've done for the past six months."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1609

Malcolm and Heather were stunned.

Even Jim was stunned, too, as he looked at the aloof- looking Luna. She somehow seemed like a stranger to him.

A few months ago, she was the little sister that needed his protection.

A few weeks ago, she grieved terribly for her lost child.

However, at that moment, the woman in front of him was filled with aloofness and calmness. Jim wanted to applaud her. He saw the greatness of Rosalyn in her, back when Rosalyn was overseeing the Landry family.

Seeing Malcolm's and Heather's pale faces, Luna took a deep breath and smiled.

"But, since you brought this up in front of Mom, let me formally tell you my thoughts too. As I said, I'll sign the agreement, taking the assets out to help the Landry Group, but on a few conditions."

Luna changed to a more comfortable position. "First."

She pointed at Heather. "You and your people. Those that haven't contributed to the Landry Group for the past six months have to leave. They can no longer partake in any of the Landry Group's decision-making processes.

"Second."

Luna looked at Jim, then she let out a sigh of relief and said, "I want Charles to step down from the position of the president of the Landry Group, passing it to me. I'll be solely in charge of the business.

"Finally, I'll make my brother, Jim, the vice president, help me out in everything."

When she finished stating those three conditions, Luna looked up and smiled at Malcolm and Heather.

"Do you agree? If you do, go back, and draw up the terms. I'll take all the assets out. After all, the Landry Group was Mother's hard work. I don't want to see it fall."

Malcolm's and Heather's faces lost all their colors upon Luna's words. Heather looked at Malcolm rather helplessly. Heather then said in a suppressed tone, "Uh..."

They did want Luna to take out the assets to revive the Landry Group, but they never expected to let Luna make the decisions!

Malcolm squinted. "Luna, you must be joking with me. You're just a jewelry designer, and you have no background in trade. How could you be the president of the Landry Group—"

Luna narrowed her eyes. "Then, what about Heather? She studied fashion modeling in university, so why can she be the vice president of the Landry Group?"

Luna's sentence shut Malcolm up immediately. Heather's face was fluctuating between blushing and turning pale. She gritted her teeth.

"I'm different from you! I am capable!"

That made Jim laugh out loud. "Capable? Capable of making sure the Landry Group goes bankrupt within six months?"

Heather was also at a loss for words upon Jim's remark.

Looking at Heather's and Malcolm's pale faces, Luna smiled. "It seems like you won't agree to any of the conditions. If that's the case..."

Luna picked up the agreement and tore it in two in front of MalcoIm. "There is no need for this agreement anymore. I won't agree to it."

Luna stood up and headed outside. "Since we've found out who hurt Mom, there is nothing else left. It's late. Go home."

Looking at how nonchalant Luna seemed, Heather

clenched her fists tightly. What right did Luna have?

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1610

What right did Luna have?!

Previously, Heather only knew that Charles had money which he did not take out for the company. She wanted to slowly take them from him while he was sick!

It was only until that day she found out that Charles and Rosalyn froze almost half of the Landry Group's assets for Luna!

What right did Luna have, just because she was their biological daughter?

Luna was not the one staying with them for more than 20 years. She was the one! She was the one calling them Mom and Dad!

Charles kept complaining that Luna and Jim were terrible children, but what did he do behind his back?

Not only did he hand over the Land ry Mansion and Swan Lake Chalet to Jim, but he even gave Luna half of the Landry Group's assets!

She had been taking care and serving Charles every day, yet she received nothing!

The more Heather thought, the angrier she got. It was unfair!

Thus, when Luna had left the door, Heather took a deep breath, grabbed the switchblade in her pocket, and rushed at Luna.

Looking at Heather, Jim yelled out, "Luna, watch out!"

From where he was standing, it was too late to try to stop Heather.

Luna subconsciously turned around when she heard Jim's voice. Her eyes met with Heather's sharp blade.

"Die, Luna!" Heather glared at Luna fiercely, aiming her knife at Luna's eyes.

Just when Heather's knife was about to stab into Luna's eyes, right in the nick of time, a hand grabbed Luna from behind and pulled her into a hug.

The hug was familiar to Luna. She was stunned.

Heather's knife did not stab into Luna's eyes, but it still went forward, stabbing into the arm of the man that was protecting Luna.

Instantly, blood splattered across Luna's face. Luke Jones strode over and apprehended Heather with one hand.

He pinned Heather to the ground, using his feet stepping on her. Then, he looked up at Joshua. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Joshua shook his head. The first thing he did was not check on his injuries but check upon Luna in his arms.

"Are you hurt?"

Luna did not expect that Joshua would appear at such a time. She even did not expect that he would protect her.

"I'm fine." She replied coldly and immediately came out from his hug. She retreated a few steps backward, creating some distance.

Joshua's eyes were slightly in a daze upon Luna's reaction. He chuckled bitterly. With Luke’s help, he pulled the switchblade out of his arm and started dressing his wound.

Luna stood on the spot, looking at Joshua clumsily dressing his right arm with his left hand. She had a complicated feeling.

If it was previously, she would have immediately gone up to help him because he rescued her.

However, at that moment...

That morning, he used the cruelest way to kill her mother.

"Help! Murder!"

Heather, who was being pinned on the ground, staned screaming. Everyone rushed over.

"Joshua?"

Jim furrowed his brows tightly. "How dare you show yourself?"
