Ch. 1661..1670

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1661

Cheryl immediately fell silent upon hearing this and did not know what to say.

Luna did not feel like continuing this conversation with her and instead snapped, "I'm looking for Joshua, so you'd better bring the phone to him quickly.

"I've already recorded our conversation just now, so if you don't want me to go over right this instant and play this recording for him, you'd better do as I say, and fast."

Cheryl's face turned white upon hearing this.

A split second later, she bit her lip and brought the phone out to the balcony, where Joshua was in a video conference call.

When Cheryl approached him, holding his phone, Joshua furrowed his brows. "What are you still doing here?"

Cheryl did not manage to stammer out a reply and instead handed the phone to him.

At this moment, one of the members of the senior management was making a report. "After a long, exhaustive investigation, we finally confirmed that the Jameson Group is the most important source of the Quinn and Landry Group's supply chain.

"According to our plans, we'll be able to sign our contract with them at around 5 p.m. tomorrow.

"If we leak the news of the Quinn and Landry Group's supply chain disruption at that time, then both the companies will be in chaos by 7 p.m..."

Joshua took the phone from Cheryl as he listened halfheartedly. "Hello?"

Luna managed to overhear the contents of Joshua's meeting through the phone.

5 p.m. the following day was when Malcolm and Heather's guests would arrive, and 7 p.m. was when their wedding ceremony was set to begin.

Joshua had planned this down to the minute.

"Luna?" seeing that she did not say a word, Joshua could not help furrowing his brows.

Luna quickly came to. She let out an exhale and replied, " Malcolm has kicked me out of his car."

Joshua raised his brows. "How ungentlemanly of him."

Truth be told, Joshua had already known of this. Even though he did not send his men to trail Luna, he still had a son who was an expert hacker.

From the moment Luna got into Malcolm's car, Nigel had transferred the live recording of the roads Malcolm's car had traveled onto Joshua's computer.

At this moment, the security footage of Luna was displayed prominently on his screen, whereas the image of the employee who was presenting only took up a small corner of his computer screen.

Joshua stared at the woman sauntering on the side of the road and asked, "Do you need me to send someone to bring you home?"

Luna shook her head. "There's no need for that. I can call Gwen to pick me up later.

"Every time I come in contact with you, someone has been taking photos of us, so if I let your men send me home, wouldn't that be another opportunity for them to use this against me?"

Joshua smiled and replied, "Well, no one would dare to use the photographs against this person.

"Besides, he's losing sleep right now, and sending you home will also allow him to see the person he's been missing, so he will be more than happy to bring you."

Luna immediately understood what he was saying. Joshua was planning to ask Luke to send her home. She shrugged and said, "Well, thank Luke for me."

Joshua murmured in reply and pulled up the chatbox of him with Luke and typed a message to him, all the while staying on the call with Luna and listening to his employees ' presentation.

After making sure everything was settled, he shifted into a comfortable position in his chair and turned to glance at Cheryl, who was pouring him a cup of tea. He frowned and asked, "You didn't agree to any of Malcolm's terms, did you?"

Luna shook her head, then suddenly recalled the reason she had called Joshua. "How did you know he was going to talk terms with me?"

Joshua narrowed his eyes. "Well, the men he sent to take photos of us weren't very good at being hidden.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1662

Luna pursed her lips somewhat guiltily and asked, "Then do you know what he was trying to threaten me into doing?"

Joshua fell silent upon hearing this. He had no idea.

However, he had a feeling that it was something to do with threatening her to give up her inheritance.

Seeing that Joshua had fallen silent, Luna knew that Joshua had no idea at all. She pouted slightly and asked, " Well, then why did you send me the message telling me not to agree with him?"

Joshua hesitated for a moment, then smiled. "I just thought that Charles wouldn't be so native as to reprimand you just based on a few photos and videos."

He had already ordered Lucas to arrange a meeting between him and Charles.

Anything that Luna could not explain, he would do so on her behalf.

Luna let out a sigh when she heard this. "Joshua, have you ever thought of the possibility that after helping me out so much...I'd one day become your opponent?"

"You? That's impossible." Joshua chuckled upon hearing this. "You're just a jewelry designer; you don't know anything, nor are you interested in business at all.

"The Landry family will never hand Landry Group over to you, and even if they did, you wouldn't accept it anyway."

This was the conclusion he had arrived at from what he knew about her after all these years of being together.

Luna gripped her phone tightly.

He was right, in a sense, but it was just that...

He did not know that she possessed more than half of the assets of Landry Group.

In the past, she would not take part in the family business at all since she had no intention of participating in business and running a company.

Things were different already.

Luna wanted to say something to Joshua, but she could not utter a single word.

All of a sudden, she heard a honk from behind her. Luke had arrived.

Luna quickly hung up the phone and got into his car.

Both Luna and Luke were silent throughout the journey home.

Finally, the car pulled to a halt in front of Luna's house.

Gwen was the first to storm out of the yard and into Luna's arms. "You're finally home!

"Look at you. I can't believe you just left in your pajamas. I was worried sick! You..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the door behind Luna was pushed open.

Luke got out of the car.

Gwen's expression darkened as soon as she laid eyes on him. She furrowed her brows and asked in a low voice, " Why did you come home with him?"

"I got lost, and he was kind enough to send me home." Luna forced out a grin at Gwen, then let go of her and strode toward the house. "You two should catch up. I'm tired, and I should get some rest."

Watching Luna leave, Gwen furrowed her brows and was about to take a step toward the house when someone grabbed hold of her wrist.

Luke pulled her into his arms. "Are you still angry at me? Hmm?"

Gwen bit her lip and glared at him. "Let go of me!"

"Never."

Luna could not help curling her lips into a smile when she heard their conversation.

She and Joshua could never be together again in the future, but she did not wish the same on Gwen and Luke.

Lune returned to her room and fell asleep.

The next morning, she was awoken by Theo's knocking. " Luna, check your phone right now!

"You've made the news headline!"

chapter 1663

The first thing Luna heard when she woke up was the news of her making the headlines.

She furrowed her brows, took out her phone, and laid eyes on the pictures on the first page of the news site.

It was the photo of her in Joshua's arms, being carried into his house.

In the photo, her eyes were closed as she kissed Joshua's neck, whereas Joshua's arms were wrapped firmly around her slender waist as he strode toward the house.

Luna felt as though something had crashed into the back of her head.

All of a sudden, she felt her chest tighten.

She lifted her head to glance at this news title.

[After one year of being engaged in a furious battle, Ms. Luna, the second heiress of the Landry family, is secretly dating Joshua Lynch!]

[Is this simply a ploy? What is going on between Ms. Luna and President Lynch?]

[Breaking news! Are they mortal enemies or secret lovers? What is the true relationship between the Landry and Lynch families?]

All of these titles struck a nerve within Luna. She bit her lip and read through the articles, suppressing the emotions in her heart.

All of the articles described her as a dirty woman that liked to sleep around.

On top of that, all the photos used in these articles were the same ones that Malcolm had shown her the night before!

Luna gripped her phone tightly and felt the blood rush into her head.

Was this Malcolm's way of getting revenge on her?

She thought he would wait until the wedding was over, but it seemed that he was unleashing his wrath early!

Luna bit her lip and quickly flung her door open.

Outside the door, both Theo and Gwen were staring at her in worry.

"Luna, you'd better not leave the house today, and you probably shouldn't go to Malcolm and Heather's wedding anymore." Gwen grabbed hold of her arm and added in a low voice, "It's clear all these articles are biased against you, and if you go out today, you will definitely be targeted by the readers!"

Theo, too, frowned and said, "We can't possibly clear your name, for the time being, so I think Gwen is right. You should stay home before everything cools down."

Luna curled her lips into a smirk. "Will staying at home prevent the inevitable?"

As soon as she finished her sentence, she heard the sound of a car screeching to a halt outside her house.

One of the servants stormed upstairs and exclaimed, "Ms. Luna, your...your father and sister are here!"

Luna narrowed her eyes.

She should have known that since Malcolm and Heather had already leaked the news of her and Joshua being together to the public, they would not possibly hide her relocation of Rosalyn from Charles either.

As soon as she thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and went to wash her face. She did not even bother changing out of her pajamas and instead went straight downstairs.

As soon as Charles and Heather got out of the car, they headed straight to Rosalyn's room.

Heather let out a sigh as she helped Charles walk. "Father, don't be too angry. It's not like you never knew about Luna being in love with Joshua before this.

"Even though those news articles had indeed caused

plenty of harm to our reputation, we can still fix this, so you shouldn't be too angry over this.

"The reason we came here today is to tell Mother that I'm getting married so that she can be happy for me.

"You shouldn't be too angry. If she senses your emotions, she might become upset too."

Charles had already been sent into the emergency room once before because of Luna.

At this moment, he was clutching his medication in his hand, and he looked much better than he did before.

As soon as he heard this, he sneered and said, "It's her daughter, after all! If she gets upset, then she'd wake up soon so she can give her daughter a piece of her mind!"

With that, he pushed aside the curtain separating Rosalyn's room from the rest of the house and strode into the room.

The room was empty. The place where Rosalyn used to lie had nothing but an empty bed.

chapter 1664

The blanket had been folded neatly, and all the equipment that had previously been there to sustain Rosalyn's life was missing.

The room was so clean that it was as though no one had ever been there.

Charles was so shocked that he almost lost his balance.

"What's going on?" he turned to stare dazedly at Heather. " Did Luna change your mother to another room?"

Heather knew precisely where Rosalyn was, but she still had to put on an act for Charles' sake.

She furrowed her brows. "I wouldn't know; Luna hasn't told me about it before.

"That's strange. Mother was still laying on this bed when I came here to visit her yesterday morning, so where did she disappear in just a day?"

With that, she lifted her head to glance at Charles' pale face and reassured him in a gentle voice, "Father, don't be upset. I'll go ask Luna right now.

"Maybe Luna changed Mother into another room since summer is coming soon."

Heather let out an exhale and let go of Charles. Just as she was about to walk out of the room, someone pushed open the door.

Luna showed up at the door, dressed in her pajamas. "You don't have to come to find me. I'm here."

Charles grew even more outraged when he saw Luna. He pointed at her with a trembling finger and yelled, "Look at this! Look at this! What on earth are you wearing?

"What time is it now? It's already 7 a.m.! Guests have come to visit, and you can't even be bothered to change out of your pajamas! Do you even respect your father?"

Truth be told, Charles had never been one to notice details like this. However, after hearing the news this morning, Charles was outraged that everyone in Merchant City had found out about Luna and Joshua's relationship, and so he could not help picking at all of her flaws.

"Your face is so pale, yet you don't even bother putting on any makeup. Why are you so messy? How can a woman like you deserve to be a daughter of the Landry family?"

Luna chuckled when she heard this. "Well, if you don't think I deserve to be a daughter of the Landry family..."

She turned to glance at Heather. "Then what about her? Why should a Gibson be allowed to stay here at the Landry family?"

The color drained from Heather's face when she heard this, and Charles' expression darkened.

He bit his lip and glared at Luna. "I don't care if Heather is a Gibson or a Landry! If she treats me well and shows me respect, I will treat her as my daughter! Unlike you!"

With that, he snorted and pointed at Rosalyn's bed. "Also, where's your mother? Even though she's in a vegetative state, you can't move her around to your fancy."

With that, he strode toward the door as he demanded, "Tell me which room did you put her in? If you placed her somewhere where she doesn't get much sun, I won't forgive you for this—"

"I didn't put her in another room." Luna interrupted him curtly, and her gaze landed on the pill he was clutching in his hand. "I sent her to another city, so she's no longer here in Merchant City."

"You!"

Charles pointed at Luna, but before he could say another word, he rolled his eyes and—

chapter 1665

Just as Charles was about to faint, Luna furrowed her brows and lunged forward, grabbing hold of the pill he was holding in his hand and shoving it into his mouth.

As soon as he swallowed the pill, Charles did not pass out after all.

His entire body was slumped against Heather as he pointed at Luna, shaking. "You—

"You! You good for nothing daughter! Where did you send your mother?"

Luna let out an exhale. "I sent her somewhere safe."

She lifted her head to stare intently at Charles. "I didn't think she would be safe in Merchant City, so I sent her away."

Heather paused when she heard this and glanced at Luna with a look of fake confusion. "But when I came here to visit Mother yesterday morning, she was still here, so when did you send her away?"

Luna sneered. "Since you saw her in the morning, then I surely sent her away in the afternoon."

Heather clapped her hand on her mouth in shock. "It turns out that...the thing that Joshua's men had been escorting out of Merchant City was Mother?"

"What?" Charles erupted in anger when he heard this. " Joshua was the one who sent your mother away?"

"Don't be angry, Father; I was just making a guess." Heather bit her lip and glanced at Charles somewhat hesitantly, then at Luna. "I just heard that...Joshua had sent many of his men to escort a van out of Merchant City yesterday...

"I thought that something that required Joshua to show up himself must have been an important material for his supply chain or something, and I even sent some of my men to follow them."

With that, she took out her phone and showed Charles the video that Malcolm had taken of Joshua's men the day before. "Look, this is what my men sent me.

"However, after Joshua left the city, we lost them, but strangely enough, after investigating for a long time, no one could find out what was the important document or material that Joshua had sent out of the city."

As she said this, Heather glanced carefully at Luna and continued, "Because Luna and Joshua's news had been plastered all over the internet today, and on top of that, the time seemed to match up...so I blurted out the possibility that Joshua had escorted Mother out of Merchant City.

"However, it might not be the case. Luna knows full well that Joshua was the one who had almost murdered Mother, so how can she possibly..."

Charles narrowed his eyes and turned to glare at Luna. " Tell me! Were Joshua's men escorting your mother out of the city yesterday?"

Luna narrowed her eyes. "Yes." Smack—!

As soon as she answered, Charles cocked his arm and slapped her right across her face.

Even though Charles was weak, he was still a full-grown adult male, so his slap was forceful and did not show mercy toward Luna at all.

Luna staggered a few steps back, hitting her back against the cupboard behind her.

The sting of Charles' slap burned her face, and she was a little dizzy from the impact. On top of that, she could taste blood.

Luna opened her eyes and wanted to focus her gaze on the man before her, but she could not even do so.

"Luna!" Theo stormed into the room and grabbed hold of Luna. "Are you okay?"

With Theo's help, Luna finally managed to stand up after two tries.

Charles stared at this strange man that had stormed into the room and furrowed his brows.

chapter 1666

"Who are you?"

"I'm Luna's friend." Theo lifted his head to stare at Charles, smirking. "Do you still remember me, Mr. Landry?"

Charles furrowed his brows, thinking for a long while before finally recognizing this man as the servant Aura had brought home with her in the past.

He sneered and asked, "You're friends with Luna?"

Was this man not the servant that worked closely with Aura?

Heather frowned and finally realized that the man standing before her was none other than Theo.

This was the man Aura had brought home with her, along with Luna's second son.

She could not believe that this man had somehow survived even after Aura died.

Not only had he survived, but he had even become Luna's friend!

As soon as she thought of this, Heather bit her lip and glanced at Theo. "Didn't you use to be Aura's boyfriend? Why are you together with Luna now?"

Charles could not help frowning when he heard this. "Was he Aura's boyfriend?"

"Yes." Heather sneered and replied, "He was Aura's boyfriend. Because of the accidental switcheroo between the two DNA reports, Aura thought that she was your daughter, and she claimed Theo to be her servant instead, thinking that you'd object against her dating."

With that, she gave Luna a once-over and remarked, "I never thought you'd be so open, Luna. You're having fun with Joshua and even dating another man on the side.

"If I remember correctly, it's only been a month since you gave birth, hasn't it? Are you sure your body can handle it?"

Charles grew even more outraged to hear this.

His face was scarlet with anger, and he pointed at Luna's face, his entire body trembling. "Not only are you disrespectful, but you're dirty and disloyal!

"It's one thing for you to date two men, but one of them is the mortal enemy of the Landry family, the man who almost bankrupted us, and the other used to be Aura's boyfriend!

'How shameless are you? Where do you even draw the line?

Charles was panting as he said this.

All of a sudden, Heather's phone rang.

She deliberately placed the call on speakerphone.

The sound of her secretary's voice rang out from the phone, "Something terrible has happened, Vice President!

"Most of the shareholders had seen the news of Ms. Luna this morning and have now shown up at the office, demanding an explanation!

"They said that unless the Landry family kicks Ms. Luna out, they will request for a refund of their shares in cash...

"Otherwise, they'll come to the company to make a scene every day!

"Also, many of the senior management employees are losing their morale. None of them are willing to accept that

after one year of effort against battling Lynch Group...Ms. Luna was all the while seeing Joshua Lynch in private and even having an intimate relationship with him.

"What are we going to do, Vice President?"

Apart from the secretary's voice, everyone could clearly hear the shouting and cursing of the shareholders from the other end of the line.

Everyone in the room fell silent.

Charles let go of Heather and turned to sit down in a chair as though he had lost all the strength in his body.

He closed his eyes and let out a sigh. "Let them know that tonight, after you and Malcolm's wedding, I'll announce the news of kicking Luna out of the Landry family."

A glimmer of triumph flashed through Heather's eyes. Nonetheless, she pursed her lips and said, "But Father, if you kick Luna out...what'II happen to the assets that are under her name?"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1667

"Of course the money should stay with me and be subject to my disposal."

Luna, who had finally recomposed herself from the shock of being slapped by Charles, sneered and glanced at

Heather coldly. "Don't forget this money is what Father and Mother owe me.

"Mr. Landry abandoned me in the orphanage when I was just a child, causing me to suffer in a poor family for more than twenty years and even be bullied and insulted by the Gibsons over the years.

"Therefore, this money was given to me to make up for all the suffering I had been through."

With that, Luna glanced at Charles, snickering. "Why don't you tell us what you intend to do with this money, Mr. Landry?"

Charles leaned against his chair feebly and waved his hand at Luna. "Well, when your mother and I froze this money to leave it under your name, we had never thought of taking it back from you.

"You don't have to say things like this to make me feel bad. If you want the money, you can take it. I have no right to stop you anyway."

Heather's entire body stiffened when she heard this.

Charles was not planning to get the money back from Luna at all!

How could this be?

She bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Father, you should know that the Landry family is now..."

Charles waved his hands dismissively. "Since Joshua Lynch is all she thinks about, do you honestly think she'll care about the Landry family's survival?"

With that, he glanced meaningfully at Heather and added, " After announcing that I'll be kicking her out of the Landry family tonight, I'll sign the papers to segregate the money under her name from our own so that she can take it away with her."

Heather widened her eyes in shock.

This was not what she wanted at all! She wanted Charles to demand the money back from Luna before kicking her out!

That way, the money would belong to her and Malcolm, whereas Luna and Jim would be out of the picture, one having been kicked out by Charles and the other one deprived of his right as CEO of Landry Group!

What was even happening?

Heather bit her lip and quickly grabbed hold of Charles' hand. "But Father, without this money, both Landry and Quinn Group cannot survive..."

"Isn't that your problem?" Luna sneered and stared coldly a t Heather. "The money under my name had been frozen by Father and Mother a few years ago when they first found out you weren't their biological daughter.

"A year ago, even without the money, Land ry Group was still one of the biggest companies dominating the Merchant City market, alongside Quinn Group.

"However, now, the two families combined is not even a match for Lynch Group, so is it because Joshua Lynch is too powerful, or you and Malcolm are too useless?"

Heather widened her eyes in shock. "You! What on earth are you talking about? It was Joshua Lynch that—"

"What did Joshua Lynch do?" All of a sudden, a cold male voice rang out from the direction of the door. Luna lifted her head in delight.

The person standing at the door was none other than Jim.

He seemed to have rushed over as soon as he woke up. His hair was a little unruly, and there was even a small patch of hair standing up from his head.

Jim strode into the room under Heather's shocked gaze. " Even though Joshua is terrifyingly good at his job, the reason the Landry and Quinn families even end up here now is all because of you and Malcolm, isn't it?"

He curled his lips into a smirk, staring at Heather as he walked over to Luna's side. "Do you want me to list out every single one of the mistakes and financial losses you caused the company ever since you started hel ping out?"

Jim took out a tablet and started reciting the contents. "In October last year, when you first took over Landry Group, you committed a fatal mistake. After discovering that the daughter of one of our suppliers was prettier than you, making you feel uneasy when she met with you, you changed suppliers using defective products as an excuse.

"The next supplier that Landry Group worked with provided significantly poorer quality products with a ten-percent increase in price, and the financial losses stemmed from this incident are..."

Jim seemed to have recorded plenty of information on his tablet. The color drained from Heather's face as he read out all the information.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1668

When Jim finally got to the last row of words, Heather's legs had gone so weak that she needed to hold onto a chair for support.

She did not dare to object to him at all, fearing that he would bring out even more evidence!

Charles was unaware of all of the things that Heather had done, but with just one glance at Heather's face, he knew instantaneously that everything Jim had said was true.

His expression darkened when he realized this.

He narrowed his eyes and glanced first at Heather, then at Luna.

Finally, he shot Jim a cold glare and snapped, "It turns out that even though you claimed not to interfere in Landry Group's business during these few months, you've secretly been observing everything!"

If Jim had not been watching since the start, he would not have been able to keep track of all the mistakes that Heather had committed.

Heather's expression lit up when she heard this. She bit her lip and glared at Jim. "That's right. It turns out your claim was fake, and you had secretly been noting down all of my mistakes since a year ago when you claimed not to want to interfere in Landry Group anymore.

"Besides, all of the things you listed down were mistakes I had committed due to lack of experience, but you didn't correct me at all and instead just wrote them down for record-keeping."

With that, she let out a sigh and added, "Jim, even though you claim to be doing this for the Landry family's good,

you're secretly just watching and have no intention of helping us at all!"

Finally, she turned to glance at Charles. "Father, look at how outrageous Jim has been acting."

Charles narrowed his eyes, shot Jim a cold glare, then stood up. "You b*stard!

"Bring me back to the car. I have something to say to you!"

Jim narrowed his eyes, approached him somewhat reluctantly, and helped Charles out of the room.

After watching from the window to make sure they had gotten into the car, Heather sneered and stared at Luna triumphantly. "Surprise, surprise, Luna.

"It turns out after barely a year of returning to the Land ry family, you're going to be kicked out again very soon."

She walked over to Luna's side, sneering, and whispered next to her ear. "You sad little runt."

A small smirk played on Luna's lips as she replied, "This isn't the end yet, and we have no idea who's going to be the sad little runt yet.

"Don't think that just because you're marrying into the Quinn family tonight, you get to live happily ever after from now on.

"It's still unknown whether the Quinn family can even hold on until your wedding ends. What do you think will happen if the Quinn family goes bankrupt halfway through your wedding? If that happens, do you think you should call off the wedding or proceed with it?"

Heather was outraged to hear this.

She bit her lip and glared at Luna. "I shouId've choked your child to death a month ago!"

Luna furrowed her brows. "What are you talking about?"

"What I'm saying is that—" Heather inched closer to Luna, snickering. "The dead servant was right: Your child isn't dead at all, and I know exactly where she is."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1669

Luna’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing this.

She bit her lip and grabbed hold of Heather's collar, staring at her intently. "If my child isn’t dead, where is she?"

Luna was gripping Heather so hard that she could not breathe.

Heather stared at Luna with a pale face and yelled, "Let go of me! Let go of me!"

Heather was just trying to irk her because Luna had laughed at her for marrying into the Quinn family. In reality, she had no intention of telling Luna the truth about her child at all.

However, she had underestimated the concern and love of a mother toward her child.

At this moment, Luna had lost all sign of her usual gentleness and humility and was clutching onto Heather's collar like an enraged lion, demanding to know the child’s whereabouts.

Seeing that Heather was about to be suffocated, Theo quickly stormed into the room and grabbed hold of Luna. " AIright, alright now. She’ll die if you don’t stop choking her.

"If she doesn’t want to tell you the truth, then choking her to death won’t change a thing."

Luna finally regained her rationality when she heard this.

She bit her lip and glared at Heather. "You promised me yesterday that if I don’t call the cops about what you did, you'll tell me who took my baby’s corpse away as soon as the wedding is over!"

After regaining her rationality, Luna knew that Heather's words could not be fully trusted at all.

Therefore, she could not fall into the trap so easily. She had acted too rashly.

She should have stuck to the plan, which was to confirm whether the dead child belonged to her and Joshua after finding its corpse, then take it from there.

Seeing that Luna had finally come to, Heather could not help sneering as she retorted, "What I promised you was to tell you after me and Malcolm's wedding is over, so you’d better pray that nothing bad happens at our wedding tonight.

"Otherwise, you'll never know whether the corpse truly is your child at all, nor will you ever find out who took your child away!"

With that, she turned and left the room.

Luna remained motionless, staring at Heather's retreating figure with clenched fists.

Theo let out a sigh and took her hand in his.

When Heather came out of the house, she bumped into Jim, who had just gotten out of Charles’ car.

She let out a scoff, brushed past Jim, and got into the car.

"Father." Heather started sobbing as soon as the door closed. "You have no idea how outrageous Luna was behaving just now!

"She threatened me to leave the Land ry family, or me and Malcol m's wedding will not be able to go on as planned!"

With that, she pulled her collar to one side, exposing the marks of Luna's hands around her neck. "Look! If I hadn’t acted smartly, I would’ve been choked to death by now!"

Charles lifted his head to glance at the red marks on Heather's neck and sighed.

He handed a small tube of ointment to her. "Put this on."

"Thank you, Father!" Heather took the ointment from him excitedly.

However, she did not put it on immediately and instead continued to blabber about Luna's outrageous behavior to him.

Charles glanced at the tube in her hands and said, a small smile playing on his lips. "Didn’t you say it hurts? If so, why aren’t you putting on the medicine?"

Heather paused for a moment before finally opening the tube and applying the ointment onto her neck, smiling at Charles at the same time. "Where did you get this, Father?"

Charles narrowed his eyes. "Your brother gave it to me just now."

With that, he glanced meaningfully at the ointment on Heather's neck and closed his eyes in exhaustion. "Let’s go back now."

Heather froze. "So early?"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1670

Heather bit her lip. "Then how about kicking Luna out of the family?"

"I've already said that I'll announce the news after you and Malcolm's wedding ceremony is over tonight." Charles rubbed his brows in frustration and said in a tired voice, " You wouldn't want Luna to steal the limelight, would you?"

Heather paused. "You're right."

With that, she tucked the ointment away and leaned against the passenger seat lazily. "In that case, Father, should I notify all the shareholders of the company to attend my and Malcolm's wedding tonight because there's an important announcement to be made?"

In the backseat, Charles let out a murmur of approval.

Heather narrowed her eyes, a triumphant look crossing her face.

She would summon everyone in the company to watch Luna getting kicked out of the family after witnessing her fairytale wedding.

As soon as she thought of this, Heather could not help curling her lips into a triumphant smile.

Luna was no match for her.

She had defeated her six years ago, and she could do it again!

After sending Charles back to the hospital, Heather returned home to catch up on her sleep.

She had not slept well the entire night at all.

Firstly, she had been following Malcolm after finding out that he had gone to look for Luna, fearing that something would happen between the two of them.

As for the remainder of the night, she had been plotting how to get rid of Luna.

Finally, after Malcolm had returned home, Heather discovered the photos and videos on his tablet.

She stole these photos from him and sent them to the news publishing sites.

Everything that happened this morning, from the news of Luna and Joshua to bringing Charles to Luna's house, had been part of her plan.

As for Malcolm...

Heather had drugged him, causing him to sleep soundly at home!

As soon as she thought of this, Heather curled her lips into a smirk and pushed open the room door.

Malcolm was still sleeping soundly on their bed.

She changed into her pajamas and silently crawled into the bed, wrapping her arms around Malcolm and closing her eyes.

To her surprise, she suddenly felt Malcolm move as soon as she closed her eyes.

She thought he was just tossing in his sleep and so did not take notice of it at all.

She did not even bother to open her eyes and instead shifted into another position, intending to fall asleep with her arms wrapped around Malcolm.

All of a sudden, she felt two hands around her neck.

The grasp around her neck was so tight that she could not breathe, and for a moment, she thought she was going to suffocate!

Heather immediately opened her eyes.

Malcolm was staring at her with a look of white-hot rage. He stared at her intently and snapped through gritted teeth,

"You b”tch! How dare you drug me and expose the photos without my knowing?

"You smell like medicine now; were you out bringing Charles to find Luna?"

Heather's face turned purple as she struggled against his grip. "Malcolm, let go of me..."

"If it weren't for the fact that we're getting married tonight, I would've choked you to death right now!" He glared at her. " You've spoiled my plans!"
