Ch. 1751..1760

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1751

The assistant was right; the woman who was talking to Luna in the video was wearing so many layers of clothes that her face could not be recognized at all.

However, Jim was more than familiar with her frame.

This was the woman he used to treasure with all his heart, so how could he possibly forget?

Not only that, but he also recognized the woman standing next to her, whom the assistant was trying to identify.

Roanne.

Charlotte’s younger sister, who had been working for Charlotte as an assistant for many years.

The two of them were inseparable.

Jim could not help feeling outraged when he saw the obedient and meek look on Luna’s face as she talked to Charlotte.

It was no wonder why Luna, a woman who was skilled in jewelry design but had absolutely no experience running a business, would suddenly become so daring and even ordered for her house to be demolished.

No wonder Luna had successfully won over Mr. Hanson’s business.

It turned out Charlotte was the mastermind behind all this!

Jim narrowed his eyes.

It seemed that he had not been hallucinating at all when he thought he had seen Charlotte outside the hospital.

She had indeed returned.

Jim took out his phone and was about to call Luna when his phone rang.

It was a call from Heather.

Initially, Jim could not even be bothered to pick up her call. After all, ever since Heather was kicked out of the family, he did not want anything to do with her anymore, but…

Jim glanced first at the video of Charlotte and Luna on the screen, then at the caller ID on his phone.

Finally, he picked up.

“Congratulations to both you and Luna, Jim,” Heather’s disdainful voice rang out from the other end of the line. “This morning, when Malcolm went home to pack his things, he overheard Granny Quinn scolding and cursing Luna for successfully obtaining the rights to M Hanson’s mine in Afreeka.”

Jim narrowed his eyes. “What is your point?”

If he remembered correctly, Heather used to always attend parties like Mr. Hanson’s without their knowledge. Because of this, Mr. Hanson, as well as Harold and the rest of the guests at that party the night before, were all very familiar with Heather.

Jim guessed that Heather had called him not only to congratulate him, but she wanted something else.

“Luna bribed Harold into bringing her to the party, then placed a pinhole camera in her bag and successfully recorded everything that happened there.

“The only reason Mr. Hanson agreed to work with Landry Group is that Luna’s assistants threatened to send copies of this video that Luna took to their wives.

“What a smart trick. Luna used herself as a lure to threaten everyone into doing what she wants, but unfortunately, she can only use this once.”

Jim narrowed his eyes.

Heather was right. Even though Luna had successfully gotten Mr. Hanson to agree to do business with her, the news of her attending the party with a pinhole camera would soon get out.

Bringing a recording device or pinhole camera to parties and gatherings like these was strictly prohibited among businessmen and women alike.

Therefore, as soon as word got out, it would be difficult for Luna to get into any party-even ordinary ones, unlike Mr. Hanson’s—in the future anymore.

Even though Charlotte’s plan had successfully solved the biggest problem the Landry Group was facing at the moment, the consequences that it brought along were dire.

Therefore, Jim could tell that Charlotte’s intentions were clear; she did not care about what would happen to Luna in the future and instead just wanted to help Luna accomplish her tasks and get what she wanted in the shortest time.

As soon as he thought of this, Jim let out an exhale. “Heather, I don’t want to waste either of our time; just tell me what you want.”

Initially, Heather had wanted to say something else to irk Jim, but as soon as she heard his tone, she settled down and said, “Charlotte has returned to Merchant City. “The last time I saw her, she was at the police station to visit Luna.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1752

“The reason why Luna had been released from jail so quickly was Charlotte’s doing too.

“She’s just using Luna to get what she wants, and as for her ultimate goal, I’m sure you have a better idea than I do.” Jim gripped his phone tightly.

Many years ago, he was utterly disappointed in Charlotte’s actions, but at the same time, he was the closest person to her and was even engaged to her at that time.

Because of this, he could not bring himself to break his promise to her and was stuck in a dilemma.

Finally, it was Charles who had stood up for him and exposed Charlotte’s lies, and even sent Heather to chase Charlotte out of Merchant City.

However, at this moment, Charlotte had returned as soon as Heather was kicked out of the family.

It was clear what she wanted.

Charlotte had thought that as long as Heather was out of the picture, Jim would forgive her and get back together with her after she helped the Landry family through their rough patch.

“Jim, you and Father are both gentlemen and refuse to bully a woman. I knew that six years ago, so I think it’s best that you let me take care of Charlotte this time too.” Heather sneered and added, “After all, you wouldn’t want to see her tricking your sister, do you?

“I believe that what happened with Mr. Hanson is just an appetizer. She hasn’t even started on her real plans yet, so are you willing to let her use Luna?

“If you give me five hundred million dollars, I can help you.”

Jim snickered when he heard this. “Five hundred million dollars? Are you insane?”

Heather curled her lips into a smirk and retorted, “Don’t you think your sister’s reputation and innocence is worth five hundred million? Who else would have the time to follow them every day and take care of Charlotte for you, apart from me?”

Jim curled his lips into a smirk. “Well, I can choose to tell Luna about this and save myself five hundred million.”

With that, he hung up the phone.

Heather bit her lip when she heard the dial tone.

This man! Jim had never been willing to talk about what had happened six years ago, but all of a sudden, h e was willing to tell Luna the truth just to save money!

Heather slammed her phone onto the ground, angered that an initially foolproof plan to earn money had been foiled just like that. She turned to glare at Malcolm, who was playing with Riley next to her, and snapped, “If it were up to me, I would’ve revealed Riley’s true identity and let Luna and Joshua take her in exchange for money!”

The two of them had been kicked out of their families for a few days, and they were about to run out of money!

Malcolm had initially been trying to threaten Hunter for money, but after Hunter was arrested, their plan had failed.

She could not believe that they were about to run out of cash soon, yet this man did not seem bothered by it and was instead playing with their baby!

Malcolm shot her a cold glance and smirked. “I knew from the start that Jim wouldn’t agree to your terms. However, it’s still too early to bring out Riley.”

With that, he smirked at Heather and added, “Since Jim isn’t willing to pay up, we should contact Charlotte.

“I refuse to believe that she won’t cough up the money if you threaten to tell Luna what has happened.”

Heather narrowed her eyes. “You’re right. After all, she was also involved in trying to kill Luna all those years ago.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1753

Luna and Mr. Hanson’s contract signing was a successful one.

In order to showcase Luna’s efficiency, Charlotte had even employed some reporters from a few major news outlets to help photograph the entire ceremony.

This was Luna’s first time attending something like this, and even though she did not look scared, she was secretly very nervous.

When standing next to Mr. Hanson, smiling for the cameras, she had even inched a little further away from him.

She could not forget what had happened last night at all.

However, to Luna’s surprise, Mr. Hanson snorted in laughter when he saw this. “I should be the one trying to get away from you. After all, you’re clearly the more heartless, more deceitful one of us two.

“What are you trying to do, moving away from me like this? Are you trying to get the reporters to write up an article about this, so people will think I’m a pervert?”

Mr. Hanson lowered his voice and said in a voice so soft it was only audible to the two of them, “Still, I still you’re too impatient. Do you think it’s worth it, using those videos to threaten me into doing business with you when the consequences are not being invited to any parties and gatherings anymore in the future?”

Luna was puzzled to hear this. She furrowed her brows and asked in a low voice, “What do you

mean?”

Mr. Hanson let out another snort when he saw her confused look. “What a great actress.”

This woman had sent her an edited video of him at the dinner party and even threatened to show it to her wife, but at this moment, she was playing innocent and even had the audacity to ask him what he meant.

Was he not allowed to complain a little, even after being forced to give up working with Joshua Lynch, the most powerful businessman in Merchant City, and instead work with her?

As soon as he thought of this, Mr. Hanson, too, shifted away from Luna, so much so that the distance between them could accommodate two more people.

Soon, the long and boring ceremony had ended.

Luna let out a sigh of relief and returned backstage, where she slumped on her chair in exhaustion, letting Roanne take off her makeup for her.

“Where’s Charlotte?” she asked when she could not see Charlotte even after glancing around the room.

Roanne curled her lips into a smile and gently removed the false lashes from Luna’s eyelids.” She just left after receiving a call; she looked extremely worried. Maybe something urgent has happened.”

Luna murmured in agreement, but she could not help recalling what Mr. Hanson had told her

just a few minutes ago.

He claimed that she had threatened him, but she had not done anything at all.

He even called her heartless and deceitful…

Luna closed her eyes and furrowed her brows. “Do you know how Charlotte managed to get M r. Hanson to agree to do business with us?”

She remembered that she had offended him the night before, but at this moment, Mr. Hanson had agreed to work with them. It was clear Charlotte had done something to change his mind.

Roanne fell silent for a moment, contemplating.

Finally, she let out a sigh and told Luna everything, including how Charlotte had placed the pinhole camera and recording device in her bag.

However, she was still careful not to expose Charlotte’s deliberate ignoring of Luna’s calls for help.

Luna was a little displeased to learn that this was how she had earned her first business contract.

She had a feeling that Charlotte had used unethical means to get Mr. Hanson to agree to do business with them, but she never expected that…

She never expected that it was all the work of hidden cameras and recording devices!

After removing her makeup, Luna initially wanted to continue waiting for Charlotte backstage, but she had just sat down for two minutes when she received a call from Theo asking her when she wanted to visit Gwen.

As soon as she thought of Gwen, Luna did not want to wait any longer and instead strode out o f the room, intending to leave.

As soon as she left the room, she caught sight of Charlotte standing at the end of the hallway.

She was pacing around as she talked on the phone, appearing a little anxious.

Luna glanced at the time.

She still had half an hour until her meeting time with Theo, so she had a little time to spare.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1754

“Don’t you dare use this to threaten me, Heather,” Charlotte’s frustrated voice rang out as soon as Luna got closer. “Those were just some words I said to you to get on your good side, and I introduced him to you without any intentions at all.

“As for everything you did after that, it was nothing to do with me at all, so don’t you dare try to bring me down with you!”

As soon as she finished her sentence, Charlotte hung up the phone angrily.

The first thing she saw when she turned around was Luna, who stood behind her.

A glimmer of nervousness flashed through her eyes.

However, a split second later, she regained her composure and stuffed her phone back into her pocket. “Have you removed your makeup? Is the ceremony over?”

Luna murmured in agreement and said, “I’ve already sent the secretary to bring the contract back to the office.”

“That’s good.” Charlotte let out an exhale and glanced at Luna. “Didn’t you say you wanted to visit your friend after the ceremony? Why are you still here?”

“I have something to ask you.” Luna let out an exhale and fixated her intense gaze on Charlotte. “Last night, you told me that the party was just a dinner with Mr. Hanson and his friends, and you sent me over to get to know him, right?”

Charlotte furrowed her brows and stared at Luna with a hostile expression. “What have you

found out?”

Judging from her reaction, Luna knew the answer to her question without even having to ask Charlotte.

It turned out Joshua had not lied to her after all.

Charlotte had known since the start what kind of party it was supposed to be yet still lied to her, saying it was just an ordinary dinner party!

Not only that, but she even bribed Harold into bringing her, claiming that Luna had consented to attending this party and being a part of it.

This was why Charlotte had placed the pinhole cameras and recording device in her bag…

Luna grew outraged as soon as she thought of this. She glared at Charlotte and said, “I can’t believe that you’re using me!

“I wouldn’t even have gone if I had known what kind of party it was supposed to be!”

Charlotte shot her an impassive glance and sneered, “That’s precisely why I hid it from you You knowing too many details will foil our plans.”

Luna furrowed her brows. “I have a right to choose not to go, you know!”

Charlotte took a few steps closer to Luna, sneering. “A right not to go? Do you think that you would’ve been able to steal this business opportunity from under the jaws of Quinn and Lynch Groups if I hadn’t helped you, had you not used your beauty as a trap?

“Plenty of women use tactics like this to their advantage in the business world, so what makes you better than them?

“Besides, I didn’t intend on letting you sacrifice your integrity at all; I just sent you to obtain some useful evidence we can use to our advantage. Didn’t I assign almost twenty bodyguards outside the restaurant to protect you?”

Luna grew even more furious when she mentioned the bodyguards. “Yes, you had indeed sent bodyguards to protect me, but none of them came when I called for help!”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1755

However, Charlotte did not seem bothered at all when faced with Luna’s anger.

She had already planned out an excuse for this before Luna returned to Merchant City.

Seeing how outraged Luna was, Charlotte let out a sigh and walked over to grab hold of Luna’s hand. “Don’t be angry; listen to me.”

Luna flung her hand away and took a small step back. “I’m listening.”

Charlotte let out an exhale and said, “It’s not that I didn’t care about you at all. I was just worried that if you had known, you wouldn’t have been able to act naturally, so I chose not to tell you about the party last night. As for ignoring your cries of help…”

Charlotte sighed and explained, “I don’t know if you noticed this, but no one at that party last night was on their phones.

“The reason being, Mr. Hanson had installed a signal blocking device in that room, and even though we were using the best communication devices, it was only sufficient to ensure temporary communication, and any signal after that was blocked off.

“We tried to get in touch with you, but no matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t.

“After that, I went to the restaurant to find you myself, but when I got there, you were gone.”

Luna’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.

Her memory was a little hazy after being drugged the night before, and at this moment, no matter how hard she tried to remember, she could not recall if anyone had been on their

phones that night.

It seemed that…Charlotte was right.

Seeing Luna’s attitude had softened, Charlotte shot her a concerned glance and said, “Think about it: did you take your bag with you when Joshua left? If I hadn’t gone to find you, how would I have managed to retrieve your bag and get my hands on the videos and recordings?”

Finally, she took a step forward to grab hold of Luna’s hands earnestly. “I admit that I committed a mistake last night, which was failing to equip you with the best communication devices on the market.

“Don’t worry; I won’t allow you to go on such dangerous missions ever again!”

Even if Luna wanted to, there were no such missions again in the future.

Luna bit down on her lip when she felt Charlotte’s sincerity, as well as the warmth spreading through her palms. All the anger had dissipated at this point.

Just as she was about to say something, a cold male voice rang out from the other end of the hallway, “Luna!”

It was Jim.

Charlotte immediately panicked. She let go of Luna’s hand and, without another word, scampered up the stairs to hide in the stairwell a floor above.

As soon as she disappeared, the door to the stairwell was pushed open.

Jim strode in and grabbed hold of Luna’s arm. “What are you doing here? Who are you talking t

0?”

Luna quickly came to and shook her head. “No one. I was on a call with Theo, talking about visiting Gwen.”

Jim let out a sigh when he saw Luna’s pale face. “Charlotte was the one who had helped you lately, wasn’t she?”

Luna paused for a moment, then glanced in the direction Charlotte had disappeared in. She tried to deny the truth, blurting, “No, I…”

“Don’t lie to me; Heather has told me everything.” Jim let out an exhale and patted Luna’s shoulder. “She’s not a good person, so don’t get fooled by her.

“As for what happened last night, it appears as though you had successfully managed to do business with Mr. Hanson after threatening him, but do you know what’ll happen from here?”

He stared at her with a stern expression and continued, “The reality is, you have lost the right t o attend other parties and gatherings and thus lost your opportunity to socialize with other businesspeople.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1756

lithe news of you attending Mr. Hanson’s party with hidden cameras and recording devices will spread to the entire city, and everyone will be on guard whenever attending any social gatherings with you in the future.”

Luna’s entire body stiffened.

A long while later, she lowered her head and finally realized the severity of her actions.

Everyone had weaknesses that they wanted to keep hidden from the public eye and would only reveal among trusted friends.

To bring cameras and recording devices to such gatherings….was indeed a taboo

It was just like using a camera to photograph someone’s design drafts when visiting their studios.

However, Luna, who had no experience in doing business, never thought about the consequences of these actions.

Jim’s words were like a wake-up call, making her realize what she had lost despite earning Mr. Hanson’s business.

Not only that, but her actions could also affect Jim and the rest of Landry Group.

People would remember what the CEO had done every time they attended private social gatherings…

Luna felt her scalp crawl when she thought of this. “I’m sorry, Jim, I… I never thought that doing this will…”

“It’s not your fault.” Jim reached out his hand to stroke Luna’s hair when he saw how guilty she looked. “It’s not your fault since you didn’t know better.

“The person in the wrong is the one who came up with this idea for you.”

With that, he shot Luna another stern look and said, “Since you’re able to contact Charlotte, just tell her this the next time you talk to her.

“The person who gave up on her was me, and if she seeks revenge or wants to get back together, she should come to me instead of trying to play tricks on you.”

Luna furrowed her brows and was about to say something when her phone rang.

It was a call from Theo, and Luna quickly picked up,

Theo’s nervous voice rang out from the other end of the line, “Luna, I’ve already arrived at the place where your ceremony was hosted. You can come down now.

“Just now, I called Lucas because I was worried about Gwen, and he told me that Luke is back. They’re now arguing inside Gwen’s room!”

The color drained from Luna’s face when she heard this.

The reason she had attended the contract signing as soon as she returned to Merchant City was that she knew Gwen’s condition had stabilized, but at this moment, Luke had returned and was even arguing with her!

How could Gwen stomach his notorious temper after suffering such injury?

As soon as she thought of this, she hung up and left hurriedly after saying goodbye to Jim.

Meanwhile, in the stairwell a floor above, Charlotte was listening to them as she squatted on

the stairs

After making sure that both Luna and Jim had left, she let out an exhale and gently patted her chest.

Thank God

She was worried that Luna would expose her location to Jim, and she was not prepared to see Jim yet!

After letting out another exhale, Charlotte got up from her kneeling position She had just taken a few steps when the door before her was pushed open, revealing Jim’s sneering face.

He stared at Charlotte and said, “Long time no see.”

Charlotte widened her eyes in shock.

She turned to run away, but she had just taken a few steps when Jim grabbed hold of her wrist and pushed her against the wall with a thud.

He wrapped his hand around her neck, a sneer playing on his lips and hatred brimming in his eyes. “I never thought I would live to see you return to Merchant City, Charlotte.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1757

When Luna and Theo arrived at Gwen’s room, she was being held against the bed by an angry Luke, his hand around her neck.

“Luke Jones… I will… never forgive you…” Gwen’s entire face had turned purple, but she still muttered the same words of hatred over and over.

“Luke!” Luna stormed into the room and grabbed hold of Luke’s arm. “Let go of her! She hasn’t recovered from her bleeding today yet. Are you trying to choke her to death?”

Luke narrowed his eyes when he heard the anger in Luna’s tone and let go of Gwen.

Gwen slumped back onto her bed, panting heavily, and let out a cackle as she stared at the ceiling above her head. “Why did you stop him? You should’ve let him kill me.”

She continued to stare at the ceiling with a distraught look. “I’m blind. All of the men I fall in love with are worst than the last, so knowing this, is it wrong of me to want to kill myself?”

She sniffed as tears slid silently down her cheek. “Even if you don’t kill me, Luke, I’ll one day escape from here and leave you!”

Luke, who was standing in the doorway, sneered when he heard this, a hint of malice playing o n his lips. “Well, why don’t you try?”

He glanced coldly at Gwen’s slim legs and added, “Don’t force me to break your legs.”

Luna furrowed her brows. “You shut up! Do you feel very proud of hurting the woman you love?”

Luna knew better than anyone just how much Luke cared about Gwen.

When they were still in Sea City, despite knowing Gwen had gotten pregnant due to her previous experiences with other men, he still objected against her getting an abortion out of consideration of her health.

Gwen used to mean so much to him, so how did their relationship end up like this?

Having been scolded by Luna, Luke curled his lips into a smirk and snickered. “What right do you have to reprimand me for this? Haven’t you been hurting Joshua all this while too?”

He wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, which Gwen had bitten, and added, “Do you feel very proud of hurting the man you love?”

Luna furrowed her brows when she heard this.

She sneered and helped Gwen into a more comfortable position on the bed. “Since when did I ever say I still love Joshua? I don’t love him anymore, so of course it doesn’t make me feel bad for hurting him!”

The entire room fell silent upon hearing this.

Gwen lifted her head and caught sight of the man standing at the door with a dark expression. “Joshua…”

Luna furrowed her brows and immediately turned around.

A tall, lean man dressed in black was standing at the door.

Luna’s heart lurched in her chest.

She quickly turned her head away to avoid Joshua’s gaze. However, on second thought, she decided that she did not need to avoid him at all.

After all, was it wrong of her not to like him anymore?

To her surprise, Joshua turned to glance at Luke as though he had not overheard their conversation at all. “What’s the situation like now?”

Luke rolled his eyes at him. “Why would you ask me? I’m not a doctor.”

With that, he turned and strode out of the room.

Joshua frowned, glanced at Luna and Gwen, then lifted his hand to pat Theo and Lucas’ shoulders, gesturing to them that they should leave as well.

He guessed that Gwen was probably only willing to talk to Luna.

Theo understood what he meant and even closed the door behind him as he left.

“Luna…” After hearing their footsteps disappear, Gwen finally let her guard down and started sobbing in Luna’s arms. Luna was not sure what had happened between Gwen and Luke.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1758

However, Luna did not intend to pry and instead just hugged Gwen and let her sob in her arms.

Gwen’s cries echoed through the entire room.

Luna, too, started crying as she comforted Gwen.

She had been having a hard time, too, having been faced with a man who did not love her anymore and an entirely new working environment with tasks that she had no idea how to accomplish

She had thought Charlotte was here to help her, but what happened?

It turned out that Charlotte was just using her to get close to Jim and did not care about the consequences of her actions on Luna at all.

She had understood every single word Jim was trying to tell her.

She was just a pawn in Charlotte’s game.

However, who would she rely on to compete against Joshua, if not Charlotte?

She was not capable of running the company at all, but she was Charles and Rosalyn’s daughter, so she had to step up and take responsibility.

She could not possibly give up on Landry Group after what happened to Charles and Rosalyn.

The two women cried for a long time.

However, even after expressing their sorrows, they still had to face reality.

Luna asked Gwen what had happened as she wiped the tears off her face.

Gwen said in a choking voice, “Luke killed my fiancé.”

Luna’s eyes widened in shock, her face etched with disbelief. “Why?”

Luna had always been aware that Gwen was engaged to another man.

In the past, Luke had been reluctant to be together with Gwen because of his risky career. He was worried that Gwen would be left all alone if something terrible were to happen to him one day.

Therefore, after finding out about this, Gwen had gotten engaged with another man out of spite.

She did not invite any guests to a lavish celebration at all when she had gotten engaged. Instead, she just hosted a simple ceremony since her intention was just to spite Luke.

At that time, Gwen had admitted that she did not love her fiancé at all, and in fact, this man

was just someone she had hired to play along with her act.

Because of this, Luna could not understand why Luke would want to kill Gwen’s fiancé.

Gwen closed her eyes and let out a bitter smile. “I’d like to know too.

“After Luke killed him, I felt guilty for my fiance’s death, so I wanted to return to visit his grave.

“However, Luke imprisoned me and refused to even let me out of the house.

“Last night was the seventh day of my fiance’s death, so I requested to visit his grave, but when Luke found out, he…”

She sniffed and said, her eyes brimmed with tears, “Luke is a demon from hell.”

with that, she turned to stare at Luna and said, “I used to be puzzled whenever you told me you could never get back together with Joshua again, but now I understand.”

She could not find it in herself to forgive Luke for killing just one person, so how could Luna possibly forgive Joshua for the vengeance between their families?

As soon as she thought of this, Gwen grabbed hold of Luna’s hand. “There are four lost lives between you and Joshua: his aunt Lucy, Colin Landry, Granny Lynch, and your dead child.

“Now, knowing this, I’ll never try to convince you to get back together with Joshua again.”

Luna lowered her head when she heard this. “Actually…” She let out a bitter chuckle. “Me and Joshua’s child isn’t dead at all.”

S

Gwen’s entire body stiffened. “Your child… isn’t dead?”

Luna sniffed and let out another bitter chuckle. “Yes.

“Joshua suspected that the child I gave birth to didn’t belong to him, so he brought its remains to get a DNA check, and it turns out the child didn’t belong to him at all.

“Since the child that died isn’t his, then it surely would not be mine either.”

With that, she lowered her head and added, “I don’t know where my real child is now…”

Gwen furrowed her brows and, a split second later, lifted her head as though she had suddenly recalled something. “Luna, didn’t Heather also give birth to a daughter the same day you did?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1759

She fell silent for a moment, then shook her head. “How is that possible? I gave birth at my house, whereas Heather gave birth in Central Hospital, so the two babies can’t possibly have been confused.”

Gwen rolled her eyes at her. “I’m not saying someone confused the babies.

“What if they had deliberately switched them out? Have you ever thought of the possibility that Heather was the one whose child had died at birth?

“After all the bad things she did, it’d be entirely possible that the baby would rather die than t o call her its mother!”

Luna could not help chuckling when she heard this. “That’s impossible.”

However, Gwen did not give up at all.

She glanced at the wristband she was wearing.

The hospital they were at was Merchant City Central Hospital, the same one where Heather had given birth!

She bit her lip and grabbed hold of Luna’s arm. “Since you and Joshua are here at the same time, why don’t you look for the doctors and nurses that delivered Heather’s baby and investigate what happened?

“Even if Heather’s baby hadn’t died at all, it’ll still be helpful by ruling out a possibility so that you’ll have one less thing to worry about when trying to search for your baby!”

Even though Luna still did not think Riley was, in fact, her baby, Gwen’s logical thinking still made her thoughts waver.

Gwen was right. Even if Luna did not believe otherwise, she still had to investigate this to rule out this possibility.

Nonetheless, she did not intend to ask Joshua to join her.

After comforting Gwen for a little while longer, Luna found Gwen’s doctor and inquired about the location of the hospital’s filing room.

After all, if she wanted to investigate the day of Heather’s delivery, she first had to find out who the doctors and nurses were.

Luna spent a lot of effort smuggling into the filing room, but as soon as she did, with the help of the administrative assistant, she started searching for the medical records of all the obstetric cases dated a month ago.

At this moment, the doctor that Heather had bribed into ‘delivering’ her baby entered the mom

She recognized Luna immediately, and alarm bells sounded in her head.

After coming out of the filing room, she quickly called Heather. “I just ran into Luna in the hospital’s filing room.”

Heather’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.

How did Luna manage to suspect her so quickly?

After hanging up the phone, Heather paced around her room anxiously.

Even though she had already bribed all the doctors and nurses that had been in the operation room with her, she was worried that one of them would crack if Luna were to offer them more money…

If that happened, the consequences would be dire!

Most importantly, the DNA report-one that would prove Riley, Joshua, and Luna as blood related-she had sent to be forged had not arrived yet!

Heather suddenly came to when she recalled this.

The DNA report!

The most urgent thing was to get her hands on the fake DNA report as soon as possible.

As long as she had the report, she would be able to use it to threaten Luna if she were to find out the truth.

Heather had already planned to use Riley to threaten Luna and Joshua, but Malcolm had prevented her from doing so, claiming that the timing was not right yet.

However, since Luna was starting to investigate her involvement in this, it was now or never!

As soon as she thought of this, Heather got into her car and zoomed toward the DNA Diagnostic Center as she contacted them.

The process of acquiring the DNA report was surprisingly breezy.

Even though the hair and nail sample she had sent into the lab was labeled with Riley’s name, i t actually belonged to Nellie, who was all the way in Banyan City.

Heather’s men had been ambushing in Nellie’s kindergarten for more than a month just to obtain these samples.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1760

Heather suddenly received a call from a foreign number as soon as she got into the car after coming out of the DNA Diagnostic Center.

She furrowed her brows as she picked up the call.

“Heather, you’re the reason Jim discovered I’m here,” Charlotte’s displeased voice rang out from the other end of the line. She sneered and icily added, “You’re just as much of a busybody as you were six years ago!”

Heather could not help curling her lips into a smirk when she heard how exasperated Charlotte was. “This is what you get for not paying me, Charlotte.”

She curled her lips into a triumphant smile. “I told you before. Even though I’m no longer the heiress of the Landry family, it still doesn’t make it okay for you to order me around like this.

“I still haven’t told Jim about your involvement in helping us kill Luna.

“After all, the only reason we got to know Jason was because of you, wasn’t it?”

As soon as she said this, Heather smacked her forehead in sudden realization. “Oh, you probably don’t know this, do you, Charlotte?

“In the past, you bribed Jason to ‘lend’ his girlfriend to Jim for one night, leading to the birth o f Harvey, all because you weren’t fertile and wanted to use a child to keep Jim by your side…

“Do you know who that woman was? That woman is Bonnie Craig, Jim’s current girlfriend!

“Not only does Jim like her, but Harvey adores her as well, and she’s now even taking care of Jim’s one-month-old daughter.

“Do you think if I were to tell Jim right now that she’s actually Harvey’s mother…

“According to his devotion to his loved ones, do you think he’d choose kind, innocent, Bonnie, or deceitful, ugly Charlotte?”

Charlotte could feel her blood pressure rising as soon as she heard this. She gripped her phone tightly and snapped, “Don’t you dare!”

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” remarked Heather triumphantly as she leaned against the seat of her car, sneering.

After all, she had not felt this triumphant ever since she was kicked out of the Landry family, s o she could not resist the opportunity to insult and taunt Charlotte since she had the chance to.

However, she still remembered what she needed the most at the moment. “Well, if you don’t want me to tell Jim all this, Charlotte, here’s what you can do.

“After living abroad for so long, you must have plenty of money under your name, and not

only that, but you’re now working as Luna’s assistant. I’m sure you must be able to fork over five million dollars, don’t you?”

Charlotte stared maliciously out the window when she heard this. “Do you want cash?”

Heather was delighted to hear that Charlotte did not reject her request. She curled her lips into a smirk. “Of course.”

With that, she let out an exhale and said, “You know, if you had handed over the money six years ago just as willingly as you’re doing now, you wouldn’t have ended up like this at all.”

Charlotte curled her lips into a smirk and said frostily, “Alright, then. Meet me at the usual spot: that abandoned warehouse in the northern part of the city. I’ll bring the money to you myself.

“However, you have to remember not to say anything about this to Jim!”

Heather curled her lips into a triumphant grin. “Of course I won’t.”

With that, she hung up the phone.

Charlotte narrowed her eyes when she heard the dial tone.

After putting down her phone, she dialed another number.

“Help me take care of someone.

“She’s heading to the abandoned warehouse in the northern part of the city right now. Kill her, and make it look like a car accident.”
