Ch. 1801..1810
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1801
Hearing Luna asking about the ring’s origin, Bonnie laughed embarrassingly. “I picked it up during the press conference where Joshua exposed Adrian and Michael. That day was the first day I met Harvey. I found this ring after he left, so I picked it up. I planned to return it t o him when the time comes, but…” Bonnie shook her head. “It’s been a year. I never found the chance to return it to Jim. Sometimes, I just genuinely forgot. Other times…” Bonnie felt as if she was not meant to be with Jim, so she kept the ring as keepsake. She had been on-and-off with Jim for the past year, so she never returned the ring to him. Initially, Bonnie decided to return it to Jim when she followed Luna back to Merchant City. She did not expect that Luna would mention the ring, so she took it out. Luna looked at Bonnie in shock before looking at the ring in her hand once again. The touch and the design of the ring were the same as the one she had lost! Moreover, Bonnie said that she had not returned it to Jim since last year, after picking it up in Banyan City, yet not long ago, Luna saw Jim wearing the ring when he officially returned to the Landry Group to work!
At that time, Luna lamented to herself that if she did not lose the ring that Samuel gave her, she would be able to place the two rings together, letting them reunite. However, at that moment… Luna looked at the ring in Bonnie’s hand excitedly. Being a professional jewelry designer for many years, Luna knew that the ring Jim had was genuine. The one Bonnie gave her was genuine, too. It was very likely that when Jim lost his ring, he went all around looking for it and stumbled upon the one that Luna lost. Feeling pure joy washing over her, Luna bit her lip as tears formed in her eyes. When she returned to her room, she took a good look at the ring Bonnie gave her. Under the light, she could vaguely see a microchip hidden in it. Luna felt that the ring on Jim’s hand must be the same, too. When she extracted the date from the two rings, she would be able to clearly understand Lucy’s death. Luna excitedly picked the phone up. She wanted to call Jim, but then she remembered how Jim had been distant toward her and Bonnie that day. In the end, she sighed and placed her phone down. Jim was not in a good mood, and she thought i t would be best not to bother him. It was not too late even if she returned to Merchant City to tell him about those things. Placing the ring in her luggage, Luna took a deep breath before starting to work on the most important thing she came back to Banyan City for-recruitment. She searched through her contacts and contacted Samson, Zayne, and Arianna.
Initially, she wanted to take Shannon along with her, but from talking with Arianna, Luna found out that Shannon was already the Design Director of the Lynch Group. She was the core of the design department, so Luna decided to give up on her. Although she liked Shannon, she could not empty Joshua’s design department by taking all his staff. After all, although Joshua might seem like he was going up against the Landrys, in reality, he had been helping to investigate her uncle’s death back then. Also, everyone could see that Joshua had been showing mercy to the Landrys. If she were to be too vicious in stealing his staff, Joshua would be unhappy, and it would also be too intolerable. Moreover, Shannon was related to Granny Lynch. She was considered a relative to Joshua, and she might not be willing to give up her job in Banyan City. Because of all that, Luna merely exchanged pleasantries and caught up with Shannon over the phone, having no plans to recruit her. However, Luna did not expect Shannon to actually ask to meet her at a cafe. Looking at the message Shannon sent, Luna was a little stunned.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1802
Luna furrowed her brows and replied to Shannon carefully, (Are you…really planning to just catch up with me?] Was Shannon, as the Design Director, planning to stop her because she knew that Luna was stealing Zayne, Samson, and Arianna? Shannon replied to her with a series of smiley emojis. (Don’t worry, Luna, I’m asking you out only for personal reasons. You want to take your previous assistants away, and there is nothing I could do. After all, after you left, Lynch Group’s jewelry design department is no longer the main priority of the company.
It’ll be pointless letting such talent stay, and I think it’ll be better for them to follow you to a better place so that they can grow and flourish.] Luna suddenly felt a little guilty for her preconceived notions of Shannon. She looked down to see the time. It was three-thirty in the afternoon, and she should still be able to make it in time for Bonnie’s barbecue feast at night. After deciding the place to meet with Shannon, Luna got up to head out. When she went down, she saw Bonnie still on the sofa, staring at her phone in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about. Luna could not help it. On the way to the cafe, she still picked her phone up and dialed the butler. Initially, she merely wanted to ask if Jim’s mood had gotten better. However, when she picked her phone up, she heard sounds of smashing coming from the other end of the line. She furrowed her brows. “What’s going on?” The butler sighed and said helplessly, “Mr. Landry is in a bad mood today. We’ve already tried our best not to have a head-on confrontation with him, but… “When he woke up, he said he wanted to take something from Ma’am’s warehouse, but Mickey stopped him.
Mr. Landry slapped Mickey a few times and got his men to lock him up. He’s currently in Ma’am’s warehouse smashing things.” Luna was completely taken aback by what the butler said. Jim was actually smashing her mother’s warehouse? In Luna’s eyes, Jim respected Rosalyn the most. For the past year after Rosalyn’s incident, Jim kept everything of hers properly. He said that he was worried she might not get used to it when she woke up. He would not even change the furniture at home. How could a person who treated Rosalyn’s things with such care smash the items in her warehouse? However, the smashing sounds on the other end of the line were not fake either. In the Landry Mansion, who else other than Jim would dare to smash things? No one had the right to smash things in the Landry Mansion, let alone Rosalyn’s warehouse. Not getting a response from Luna, the butler sighed and said, “Ms. Luna, you… Why don’t you come back quickly? Only you could talk some sense to Mr. Landry now. I’m afraid…” Before the butler could finish his sentence, Jim’s angry voice rang from the other end of the line. “Who the hell are you talking to? Are you being a tattletale to Luna? Is she more powerful than me now? Let me tell you: I’m also the master of the Landrys! I’ll do what I like! Even Luna can’t stop me!”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1803
When Luna heard how Jim had already lost his mind, she furrowed her brows. She had reunited with Jim for almost a year, and all the while, Jim was always humble and mature. He never truly fought or argued with anyone before. Even when facing Malcolm and Heather, who hurt Rosalyn, he never made this sort of commotion before. Luna could not match the tone and attitude she heard with Jim. She bit her lip and blurted, “Jim, … Before she could say anything, she could hear Jim snatching over the phone from the butler. Then, with a loud crashing sound, the call disconnected. Luna held onto her phone, utterly baffled at the abrupt end. If she guessed correctly, the butler’s phone must have been smashed, and no doubt was it dealt by Jim. After all, among the hundreds of servants and bodyguards, the butler was quite high up in the ranks. Besides Jim, no one would dare to smash any of his things. At that thought, Luna closed her eyes.
She was extremely anxious, but she was a thousand miles away, unable to do anything, so she thought about Theo. Joshua was in Banyan City at that moment. Only Luke and Theo were in Merchant City. Because Gwen, Luna, and Luke did not have a good relationship, only Theo would be able to help her. Luna took her phone out, but she hesitated. After all, Jim’s matter was a matter of the Landry family. If she really got Theo to go over, not only would it not help, but it would even make Jim think that she was about to air their dirty laundry in public. In the end, she called Bonnie instead. “Bonnie, can you help me get the earliest ticket? I’m going back; the earlier, the better.” Luna was worried about Jim’s condition. After all, her father was already delirious, and she was afraid that Jim inherited his condition. What if he did something incredulous? She was not in Merchant City to stop him. Everything might be too late. Bonnie, on the other end of the line, furrowed her brows. “What is it? Did something happen?” Luna calmly responded, “Bonnie, something came up at home.
I’ll head home immediately. You come over with my assistants a few days later, okay?” Hearing Luna’s tone, Bonnie realized that it might be an emergency. “Okay, okay, okay! I’ll book you a ticket now, don’t worry! If something has happened, quickly contact Jim! Perhaps he has a solution!” Luna’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing Bonnie’s words. She did not dare to tell Bonnie that this sudden emergency was, in fact, about Jim. Thus, Luna smiled and replied, “I’ve already contacted him. I also hope that I’ll return as soon as possible to help. Help me book a ticket, please.” Then, Luna hung up. At that moment, the taxi had reached the cafe where Luna and Shannon agreed to meet. Initially, Luna was planning to properly catch up with Shannon, but the matters in Merchant City made her rather anxious. The moment she entered the cafe, Luna instantly told Shannon that something came up in Merchant City and she needed to rush back, that she could only chat for as long as a cup of coffee took. Shannon was not disappointed. She smiled and looked at Luna. “You don’t have to apologize to me. It’s best if I could catch up with you here or, if not, wait until I’m in Merchant City. We have more time to catch up then, so I’m not angry.” Luna’s eyes instantly widened upon hearing what Shannon said. She looked at Shannon closely.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1804
“D-Did you just say that you’re going to Merchant City?” “Mmh.” Shannon picked her cup of coffee up and took a sip. She smiled calmly. “Didn’t you already arrange for Zayne, Samson, and Arianna to follow you to Merchant City a week later? I’ll come with them to help you out.” Luna was stunned for a very long time, processing this piece of surprise. She excitedly grabbed Shannon’s hand.
“A-Are you really willing to give up your position as the Design Director and work with me?” The Design Director position at Lynch Group’s jewelry design department held great power and honor, besides the high pay and bonuses. After all, Lynch Group was a famous name. Luna’s new company was only a small jewelry company that had been incurring losses ever since its opening. This was one of the reasons why she did not recruit Shannon into her ranks.
Theoretically speaking, no one would give up such a cushy job only to slave through together with Luna. “Of course, I’ll be happy to.” Shannon smiled. “I already handed in my resignation letter to Joshua. Guess what he told me?” Luna paused for a while. She picked her cup of coffee up and took a sip. “W-What…did he say?” “He said that he supports my decision in resigning to go over to help you. He said that your position and identity will make the job very challenging. The higher your position, the higher the responsibility.
If you can’t show results in your new company, it’ll be troublesome.” Luna’s hand that held her cup stopped moving.
She bit her lip and said, “Did he really say that?” Shannon sighed and said, “Luna, I might not understand Joshua, but don’t tell me that you don’t understand him too? Everyone in Banyan City knows about how he feels toward you. Have you been in Merchant City for too long that you have forgotten how intense you guys were? How many times have you rescued Joshua, and how many times has he rescued you? Do you still need to doubt your relationship with him?” Luna bit her lip upon hearing Shannon’s words. Memories of the things she had gone through with Joshua appeared in her mind. After a while, she lowered her head and smiled self-deprecatingly. “Yes. Why should I doubt his feelings about me…?” At that moment, Luna’s phone rang. It was from Bonnie. Shannon saw the caller ID on Luna’s phone and smiled, “She’s probably calling to ask you to go back to pack or telling you about your flight.” Then, Shannon smiled and waved at Luna. “Go, I still need to deal with my resignation.” Luna nodded and got up. She picked up Bonnie’s call while walking over to the cashier and paid for Shannon’s as well. “How’s it going?” “There are no flights to Merchant City tonight. The earliest is at ten in the morning tomorrow. By the time you reach Merchant City, it’ll be in the afternoon. “I have tried asking for an airway so that you can take my private plane, but tonight’s airway has been taken.” Luna furrowed her brows. “Have you found out who occupied the airway?” With Bonnie’s status in Banyan City, she should be able to request an extra seat in that person’s private plane. After all, Luna was only taking her luggage with her. “I did.” Bonnie took a deep breath and said, “It’s…Joshua.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1805
Upon hearing Joshua’s name, Luna was taken aback.
She bit her lip. “What time is his flight?”
“Seven this evening,” Bonnie said with a sigh. “Luna, why don’t you contact Joshua yourself? I’d probably be able to help you had it been anyone else, but Joshua…”
“Alright.” Luna took a deep breath and hung up.
Leaving the cafe, Luna got in the car while looking for Joshua’s contact, calling him afterward.
Soon, Joshua picked up. Before Luna could say anything, Joshua, on the other end, smilingly greeted, “It’s only four in the afternoon. Didn’t we agree to meet at ten tonight?”
Joshua was asking for a beating.
Luna rolled her eyes. If she did not know that Joshua had already applied for the airway that night leaving the city, she would think that Joshua would probably want to…do something to her that night.
However, at that moment, she understood clearly that he was just trying to provoke her.
Luna took a deep breath and smiled. “Why? Are you planning to stand me up at Orchard Manor tonight?”
Joshua was silent for a while before chuckling. “How did you know?”
Listening to his deep voice, Luna secretly thought that Joshua’s acuteness was always beyond her expectations. She only said one sentence, and he had already deduced that she knew about him leaving on a private plane.
Luna furrowed her brows and took a deep breath. “I got Bonnie to check. Joshua, I need to return t o Merchant City urgently tonight too, so can I hitch a ride?”
“Urgent?” Joshua furrowed his brows a little. “Does it have to do with Jim?”
Luna’s breathing stopped for a while. After a while, she bit her lip. “H-How do you know?”
Jim’s reaction that day was rather out of the ordinary, but Luna thought that only the Landry family would know about it. She even sent a message to the butler to make sure the servants did not spread the news.
“I am the president of Lynch Group, after all.” Joshua sounded low and calm. “Jim started going berserk today, attacking the Lynch Group in quite a reckless fashion, so I’m planning to head back tonight to have a look.”
Luna’s heart skipped a beat at what Joshua said.
It turned out that Jim’s condition was not only on personal matters. Even at work, he was very emotional. It looked like she had to return to Merchant City with Joshua that night, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
At that thought, Luna bit her lip. “I’ve never seen him so abnormal. He was smashing my mother’s stuff.”
Then, Luna sniffled. “I’ll wait for you at the airport in two hours?”
Joshua, on the other end of the line, was silent for a while. “I haven’t agreed to it yet.”
Luna was in no mood to bargain with him. She sniffled and persisted, “Haven’t I already owe you three times? Adding another two times would be more than enough, right?”
Joshua’s breathing was cut short when he heard what Luna said. After a while, he laughed in a low tone. “Are you really going to use this to barter?” “If not?” Luna said with a smile, “Don’t you like this, Mr. Lynch?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1806
Both Joshua and Luna were quiet for a while before Joshua finally smiled. “Okay, as long as you keep your promise, Ms. Luna. I’m willing to add a passenger on the plane.”
Then, Joshua hung up.
Hearing the disconnecting tone, Luna closed her eyes depressingly.
The flight was at seven. By the time she reached Merchant City, it would be around eleven at night.
She hoped everything would not be too late by then.
Soon, the car reached Bonnie’s mansion. When Luna entered, her three kids were already awake.
Nellie pushed over Luna’s barely unpacked luggage over to her, all teary-eyed.
“Mommy, when are you coming back again? When will we see each other again?”
Neil, on the other hand, was right behind Nellie. He passed Luna a huge bag of food and gifts. ,
“Mommy, the three of us prepared some food and gifts for you.
“This is for you to have on the plane, and some of these are for you to take to Merchant City. The gifts are paintings and little handcrafts we made for the past six months.”
Neil passed the items to Luna earnestly. “You have to open them and have a good look once you’re back. There are also a few communications devices that Nigel did for you. If you don’t know how to use them, call Nellie, and I’ll tell you.”
Looking at how understanding Neil and Nellie were, Luna could not help but walk over and gently hug them.
Then, she turned around and looked at Nigel who was silently sitting on the sofa.
He was hugging his laptop on the sofa with his head lowered. He looked like he was in a terrible mood.
Looking at him, Luna was heartbroken.
Back then, Nigel was sick when the three kids first left Merchant City. She missed Nigel’s message and could not send them off at the airport.
Thus, for the past nine months, Nigel had been mad at her. Every time Luna was on a video call with Neil and Nellie, he would hide far away.
Initially, when she returned that time, Luna planned to improve her relationship with Nigel.
Alas…
| Luna sighed and gently took the laptop in Nigel’s hand away, placing it by the side.
Then, she bent down and gently hugged him. “Nigel, I wanted to properly make it up to you, but something has happened with your uncle. I must head back to deal with it. If you’re angry with me,
I’ll let you be angry at me, but the next time I’m back, you can’t be angry anymore. Okay?”
Luna’s gentle voice made Nigel bite his lip, his eyes slightly reddened at her gesture.
He bit his lip and looked at Luna closely. “Are we important to you?”
Luna’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing and seeing her son. She sniffled and tightly hugged him.
“Of course, you three are very dear to me.” “Then you have to keep your promise. The next time you are back, you have to spend time with us.” Nigel hesitated for a while. In the end, he still could not help himself. He gently pecked on Luna’s face. “I love you.”
His sudden confession calmed Luna’s heart, which was anxious because of Jim. She felt warmth spreading in her chest.
“You have to go back and settle this calmly,” said Nigel into her ear with a suppressed tone. “Uncle is an adult. You can’t compete with him in strength. Get Daddy’s help when it’s necessary. He’ll help you.”
Luna was taken aback before realizing that her mature son already knew what she was going back for.
Nigel’s acuteness was at Joshua’s level.
Luna sighed and hugged him tightly. “Okay.”
Nigel sighed and gently said in her ear, “You have to solve it quickly. I already saw Aunt Bonnie booking a flight to Merchant City two days later.” Luna was stunned by Nigel’s words. If Bonnie were to see Jim in such a state…
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1807
At six in the evening, Luna appeared at Banyan City Airport on time. It was raining at that point. and Banyan City at night was extremely cold.
Luna, standing at the airport’s entrance, shivered due to the cold and the thin clothes she wore.
The car stopped by the airport and Joshua immediately noticed Luna, who kept rubbing her hands and stomping her feet, by the airport.
Her thin figure was slightly shivering in the cold wind, but her gaze was still trying to look in the distance, searching for him through the rain.
Joshua’s heart skipped a beat at that scene. He immediately opened the car door and got out of the car, not even bothering to use an umbrella, merely wearing a coat as he headed toward Luna.
Even if he was soaked by the rain, he still protected the lady’s coat in his hand well. Not a single drop of water landed on it.
Joshua walked under the rain and strode toward Luna, passing the coat in his hands to her.
“Put it on.”
Luna was a little stunned. She subconsciously looked at the clothes Joshua passed to her.
It was the style that she used to like, but she remembered that when she was staying in Banyan City, her clothes were all in Blue Bay Villa.
The big fire a year ago had incinerated Blue Bay Villa into ruins. Where did Joshua get the coat from?
As if reading her mind, Joshua smiled a little and said, “I don’t understand much about women’s clothes, but I remembered a few pieces of the clothes you had from the clothes that got burned. This was one of them.”
Luna initially did not want to wear the coat that he gave her, but it was too cold.
She put on the coat while furrowing her brows and saying, “You…bought the same style of clothes from my previous burned clothes?”
Joshua calmly responded while leading Luna into the airport. He smiled self-deprecatingly. “I bought it a year ago. I took note of your clothes that were burned and secretly replaced it, putting them at Orchard Manor. I initially wanted to give you a surprise, but…”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1808
Luna started to worry about the Landry family and Jim, but she could not discuss it with Joshua like how Nigel told her to.
No matter what she thought, in the eyes of the public, she and Joshua were enemies. She could not tell all the embarrassments of her family to the enemy.
Four hours passed by in a blink of an eye.
At eleven that night, Luna and Joshua arrived at Merchant City Airport. “Theo’s car is waiting for you outside.”
Once the plane stopped moving, Joshua remained gracefully seated.
“You head down first.”
Luna, who was taking her luggage, stopped a little. After a while, she nodded. “Okay.”
Although Luna understood that Joshua and she needed to keep some distance, seeing how he actively did that, she was still rather uncomfortable with it.
Pulling her luggage out of the airport, Luna immediately noticed Theo’s car and strode over. While Theo was helping her with her luggage, she furrowed her brows and said, “Have you seen any news about the Landrys?”
Theo looked at her as if he was hiding a secret. He frantically shook his head. “No.”
Then, he canceled the news that Luna was about to look at.
“I’m not too familiar with the way. Why don’t you guide me?”
Luna looked at the navigation system in the car and felt something was off. Why did Theo ask her t o guide him instead of using the navigation system?
Nonetheless, she did not think too much about it. Perhaps Theo was not used to electronic devices, so she placed her phone down and looked out of the window, guiding Theo while thinking about what would happen when she returned to the Landry Mansion.
Seeing Luna’s phone placed by the side, Theo secretly let out a sigh of relief.
The news in Merchant City that night was not suitable for Luna to see.
On the plane at the airport.
Lucas looked at the news online and frowned deeply.
“Sir, the news online on Ma’am is still spreading fast. Even if we have already used a huge number of hackers and PR companies, we still can’t stop the discussion. Even… Young Master Nigel can’t stop them.”
Joshua rubbed the middle of his brows. He picked his phone up and glanced at the news.
(Angry Brother! Family’s Business in the Ruins, Yet She Climbed Into the Enemy’s Bed!)
(Is She Worthy to Be a President?] (Play of the Century: Jim Landry Shows Proof of Collusion Between Luna and Joshua!)
IShe Killed Her Mother, Made Her Father Go Nuts, Yet Was Sleeping With the Enemy! Exposing the Heiress of the Landrys, Luna!)
Countless unpleasant headlines came into view. Joshua narrowed his eyes.
The media was using the fact that they were not in Merchant City to set them up.
Joshua casually tapped into one of the news, and Jim’s enraged face filled his screen. In the video, Jim was angrily rebuking Luna for Rosalyn’s vegetative state, saying that she made Charles go crazy. He even showed proof of Luna getting in touch with Joshua. He said that Luna was a betrayer.
“I hope that everyone will boycott Luna, forcing her to step down!
“A person like her isn’t worthy to be a member of the Landry family! She isn’t worthy to be the president!”
Looking at the news, Lucas was extremely angry. “So this is his true colors! Sir, I never knew that
Jim was this kind of person. He…”
Joshua narrowed his eyes and interrupted Lucas.
“Does Luna have bodyguards with her?”
Jim might do even more heartless things when Luna returned.
At that thought, Joshua took a deep breath and stood up. “Get the car ready. We’re heading to the Landry Mansion.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1809
Landry Mansion.
A fire was raging.
Once Theo’s car was nearby, Luna immediately noticed the fire by the back of the hill. She widened her eyes and looked in the direction in a daze.
If she remembered correctly, that was where her mother’s warehouse was!
Luna bit her lip and clenched her fists tightly.
It was not enough for Jim to smash her mother’s warehouse, but he had to burn it down, too? How dare h e! How could he?!
That was her mother’s lifework! She had spent her entire life researching and creating drugs, and everything in the warehouse was the fruit of her labor!
The butler had told her that whether it was 20 years ago or right then, even when her father went lunatic, h e had never once touched her mother’s warehouse.
Even if her mother was in a vegetative state for almost a year, Mickey still had to take stock and clean the warehouse daily!
Even if Jim was getting emotional or going crazy, he could not do that to her mother’s things!
The car finally reached the Landry Mansion.
Before Theo could stop the car, Luna had opened the car door and rushed into the mansion.
However, she did not expect that as the heiress of the Landry family and the president of the Landry Group, she would be stopped by the bodyguards!
The two bodyguards looked at her coldly and pushed her away.
“The Landrys do not welcome betrayers!”
“Mr. Landry said that Luna and dogs aren’t allowed at the Landry Mansion!”
Luna was stunned. She looked at the bodyguard in front of her and frowned deeply. “Jim has gone nuts. Have you gone nuts, too?”
The bodyguards were familiar faces. Luna had always seen them on their shifts. Previously, she has even praised them for being responsible. She thought that they worked hard, and she got the butler to raise their pay.
However, she did not expect that at that moment, she would be stopped by the bodyguards whom she praised for being responsible outside her house!
“Ms. Luna, the person who is crazy isn’t Mr. Landry or us. It’s you.”
One of the bodyguards sneered and looked at Luna.
“A year ago, you colluded with Joshua Lynch to try to kill Ma’am, but thankfully, she got lucky. She has survived, albeit being in a vegitative state, and you’re still unhappy about it. You and Joshua Lynch sent her away from Merchant City. Then, you lied to gain Old Mr. Landry’s trust. Once you became the president of the Lynch Group, you and Joshua made him go crazy!
“Mr. Landry has already exposed every single dirty thing that you did, yet you still dare to come back?”
Luna was completely baffled by what the bodyguard said,
It started raining heavily. Luna stood in the heavy rain, the cold raindrops hitting on her, yet she could not feel cold.
She furrowed her brows and looked at the bodyguards.
“What are you talking about?”
The bodyguards sneered. “Why are you still pretending?”
They threw a newspaper at Luna. “Look at it for yourself! The disgusting things that you did are all exposed, yet you still dare to return to the Landry Mansion? Dream on!”
Luna picked the newspaper up in the rain. The rain has drenched the newspaper wet, but the headlines, photos, and content were shocking to her.
Luna looked at the newspaper closely. She was thunderstruck she could not move.
How could this have happened…
Luna thought that Jim’s abnormality was because he was too emotional, that he was just like their father. She thought something must have agitated him, and he lost his mind in the process.
However, in the news report that Jim made, he was extremely sober. Too sober, in fact.
He placed all the blame on her regarding Rosalyn and Charles, and even Heather’s death and how Heather and Malcolm made Rosalyn’s back rot.
Jim said that it was all her doing. He said that she joined forces with Joshua to bring down Landry Group. He even said she was a betrayer.
Luna could not believe her eyes. The Jim she read in the newspaper was her brother that she happily just had lunch with the day before. He had even excitedly told her about how he wanted to propose to her best friend.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1810
It was like Luna no longer recognized Jim at that moment.
No. It could not be. All these must have been done by the media. They were falsely reported.
Jim always treated her, his younger sister, well. He would never do this sort of thing!
At that thought, Luna took a deep breath. She lifted her head and looked at the two bodyguards.
“Get Jim to come out. I want him to tell me in my face.”
Unless Jim told her to her face that he was the one that did all those things, she would not believe a single word she read!
The bodyguards looked at each other. Finally, one of them sighed and looked at Luna.
“You just don’t know when to quit!” Then, he turned around and entered the mansion.
Luna stood straight and remained in the same spot, letting the rain drench her.
Theo took an umbrella over to shelter her.
“I’ve already reported the fire, but they said that the fire has been going on for more than an hour. They’re already here. They said that someone in the Landry family said that they were just clearing old things. Someone in the family was watching over the fire. Nothing would happen, so they went back.”
Luna’s heart hurt so badly as if an invisible hand was squeezing on it tightly.
She looked toward the back of the hill. The rain was getting heavier, yet the fire there did not even seemt o be doused out tremendously.
She shut her eyes and laughed bitterly.
The Landrys were clearing old things, so they burned her mother’s warehouse. In this case, did it seem to the Landrys that Rosalyn’s things were old things that needed to be cleared? Was that it?
Luna did not understand. She did not understand why things would take such an abrupt, sour turn when she had just left Merchant City for a day. Everything turned on its head.
The brother she loved the most gave orders that she could not enter the Landry Mansion. He even said that she tried to murder her father, mother, and Heather.
Why?
She could not understand.
Could it be that Jim had long wanted total control of Landry Group, that he had been pretending all this while?
Luna stood under Theo’s umbrella for almost half an hour, yet no one appeared.
The bodyguard returned. He said that Jim wanted her to wait.
“Maybe no one would come out.”
Theo saw how Luna was shivering from the cold. He said rather heartbrokenly, “Why don’t we go home?
It was almost midnight. She had been stressed for a long time, and her body could not take it.
However, Luna shook her head. “I’m going to wait for my brother.” She had to ask him herself what was going on and why he did, and was doing; everything he had done.
Theo sighed. He wanted to say something when the sound of footsteps came from the mansion.
There was also the sound of high heels clicking.
Luna immediately perked up and lifted her head.
“Luna.”
The first to appear was a woman in a white dress, holding an umbrella. She had a pretty face and exquisite facial features. Her skin was fair and smooth.
Luna furrowed her brows and sized her up for a long time. She could not recognize this woman.
It looked like someone she did not know.
“Don’t you recognize me?” Looking into Luna’s confused eyes, the woman smiled and said, “I’m Charlotte.”
