Ch. 2941..2950
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2941--Joshua waved his hand to ask the staff beside the stage to carry Adrian, who passed
out on the floor, away. He gave Jacqueline a cold look.
“Do you truly believe I’m that kind of person without the things that happened just
now? Do you really think I don’t know what you’re up to? After how hard you try to get
close to Adrian and also throw this extravagant wedding?’
It just never occurred to Jacqueline that Joshua would so harshly and openly expose
her. She was stunned but that did not stop her from giving a cold look to Joshua.
She smiled. ‘I can tell you’re not stupid after all.”
Joshua squinted. “Do you think I won’t investigate you after knowing you and Adrian
are getting married? Especially when you and Fiona look so alike?”
As she felt her senses settling down, Jacqueline’s lips curled into a smile. She gave
Joshua a look and said, “That’s true. But…”
She looked at Joshua again before looking at Luna. “If you two are so capable, you
should have known why I insisted on having you two attend this wedding… Why, then,
didn’t you two protect your friends?”
Those words struck Luna, alarming her. She bit her lip. Her eyes were full of hatred
and anger as she glared at Jacqueline. ‘You kidnapped Anne after all!’
When she saw the photo and the request from the kidnapper at the door, she guessed
that it was Jacqueline, but she tried to be optimistic and thought that it could have
been Adrian’s debtors instead.
After all, Adrian did offend too many people. All of them were waiting for her and
Joshua to show up so they could collect their money from Joshua and her. Among
those debtors, some of them knew Anne was her close friend.
She thought that these debtors kidnapped Anne with the intention to force her and
Joshua to show up so they could collect their due.
Luna even thought if the kidnapper was Adrian’s debtor and that his purpose was to
collect the money… She was willing to pay ten times the money Adrian owed just to
guarantee Anne’s safety.
She was willing to pay any price. Friends and families were far more important to her
and Joshua when compared to money!
However, Jacqueline’s words struck down Luna like lightning.
As expected…the worst-case scenario happened.
The one who kidnapped Anne was Jacqueline. Not the debtors.
Luna was also sure that Jacqueline was after something more than money, unlike the
others.
“Luna.” Joshua furrowed his brows vehemently when he saw the look on Luna’s face.
“You…”
It seemed like Luna had not remembered everything. If she did, she would never look
so peaceful as she did. However, how did she know Anne was kidnapped?
“I received a photo before we came in.” Luna bit her lip and lowered her voice as if
she could read Joshua’s mind. “At that time, I realized Anne was kidnapped.”
Joshua was stunned as he heard that. He started to remember back to the time when
he came in together with her. At that time, Luna did seem to be a little off.
“Do you know why I kidnapped Anne?” Jacqueline curled up her lip and looked at
Luna sharply.
’In the first place, I never considered kidnapping her. After all, I have nothing against
her, and kidnapping her would only hurt her and her family. But…’
She continued to glare at Luna. I wanted to kidnap your children or your parents, but
they were too far away and were guarded tightly. The only person I could get close to
was Adrian, but it turns out he’s a lost cause.
You guys don’t care about him. That was why I resorted to kidnap Anne.”
She laughed hysterically.
“Oh, Luna… I need to thank you! Without you, it would’ve never been easy to kidnap
Anne!”
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2942--Luna’s eyebrows furrowed after hearing that. She looked at Jacqueline coldly. “What
do you mean by that?”
“Didn’t Anne head back home with John after they dropped me and Joshua at the
rented place? What does her kidnapping…has anything to do with me?” she thought.
Jacqueline narrowed her eyes when she saw how confused Luna was.” What? Don’t
tell me you forgot. You and Anne went shopping in the afternoon. After that, you two
went to that restaurant, and I went there too… II
“Jacqueline!” Joshua interrupted the conversation, fearing that Luna would remember
everything should Jacqueline remind her of what happened in the afternoon. “I know
you’re Fiona’s sister, but you shouldn’t blame us for Fiona’s death.”
After all, Fiona set a trap and intended to harm Luna grievously, but her plan failed. It
was she who met her demise when she fell off the cliff.
“Who should I look for if I don’t blame you two?” Immediately, Jacqueline got
distracted as soon as Joshua started the topic.
She turned around and glared at Joshua with hateful eyes. “My sister came all the
way to Banyan City, a place where she didn’t know anyone just for the sake of
donating her bone marrow for your son. You tricked her by saying that you’d marry her
and be with her for the rest of her life as long as she was willing to donate the bone
marrow to your son. What happened next?”
She glared at both Joshua and Luna. Her voice was filled with anger and hatred. “My
sister did what she promised, but you two went back on your word! You refused to
keep your promise, and you killed her! You let her fall off the cliff and die!”
At that time, she was not in the country, and when she finally heard the news about
her sister, she had to face the truth of her sister’s death. She tried to go down the cliff
to search for her corpse, but she had no leads whatsoever.
If she did not happen to find a piece of jewelry down the cliff, she would not be
convinced that Fiona truly had died. In fact, she might think that Fiona’s death was
just a lie someone came out with to trick her.
The conclusion was that her sister was dead, and her corpse was nowhere to be
found. All that, and the two murderers who killed her sister could stand in front of her
safe and sound, enjoying their lives.
She could not accept it. She just could not accept this ending!
“Ms. Grace.” Luna frowned and said, “I know it’s very hard for you to accept the fact
that Fiona had left us especially when you’re her family, but…”
She paused for a while. “Have you ever thought that maybe what happened between
Fiona and us was not what you thought? After knowing Fiona was a perfect match for
Nigel, she lied to Joshua. She said she was ill with terminal sickness and didn’t have
much time left. However, she never tried being in love ever in her whole life. She
hoped Joshua could be there to accompany her for the remaining time she had.
“That was why Joshua agreed. It wasn’t like how you said it at all. Joshua wasn’t the
one who promised to be together with her and married her. That wasn’t how he got
Fiona to come to Banyan City.”
Luna tried to soften her voice to persuade Jacqueline. “I’m not making this up.
Everyone knew the reason why Joshua would think of being with Fiona. At least,
those doctors in the hospital knew it very well. If you have the patience to seek more,
I’m sure you’ll understand it. Besides…”
Luna took a deep breath. “The people you hate are me and Joshua. We were the
ones you think killed your sister… Anne has nothing to do with this. It makes no sense
for you to kidnap her. So…”
She looked at Jacqueline seriously, “Release Anne, alright? Take me instead. You can
kidnap me, but please don’t harm the innocent.”
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2943 --“It’s too late.”
As soon as Luna finished, Jacqueline laughed hysterically. “Kidnap you? Joshua will
go crazy if I do. There’s nothing he won’t do when he goes crazy.”
The deranged look in her eyes intensified as she glared at Luna. “But it’s not the same
if I kidnap Anne. To you, Anne is just a friend. She doesn’t matter to Joshua at all.
Anne’s husband, John Young, isn’t a big shot. He can’t do much harm to me.”
She then raised her brow at Luna. ‘ But, I can give you a chance. Try to guess what’s
my ultimate purpose for kidnapping Anne.”
Jacqueline was nothing but a mad person. How could a normal person try to threaten
another person by kidnapping their friend? Nonetheless, she had no choice but to
follow Jacqueline’s wishes to play the guessing game, even when Luna knew
Jacqueline was insane.
‘She has Anne,1 she thought.
After a deep breath, she tried to suppress her emotions and looked back at
Jacqueline. “You kidnap Anne so Joshua and I will admit that we killed Fiona, right?”
“Yes, but not entirely correct,” Jacqueline replied.
Even though she was dressed in a white wedding gown, she smiled like she was a
devil. “That’s one of my purposes, but I have another one.”
She smirked and shot the waiter standing by the side a glance. The waiter cautiously
brought over a tray.
On the tray was a dagger with an emerald stud. Wearing silky white gloves, she
picked up the dagger with one hand, her eyes gleaming with malice. “My grandmother
passed down this dagger. She said she wanted to give this dagger to my sister, but I
lost her at a young age. That’s why this dagger is in my hands instead.”
She looked up with her cynical eyes. “Now, I’ll give this dagger to you, Luna.
As she said that, she placed the dagger in Luna’s hand.
Suddenly, Luna had a bad hunch as she held the cold, ominous-looking dagger. She
looked at Jacqueline. “You…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Jacqueline switched on the projector and
connected it to her phone. The screen was displaying Jacqueline’s phone.
“My request is very simple.” She shot Luna a cold look. “I’ll call the person who’s
watching over Anne; she has the same dagger as this dagger that my grandmother
gave to me.
“Later, I’ll randomly say a term. It can be an eye, a nose, a finger, or maybe just a thin
slice of flesh. You’ll need to decide. Either you do it yourself by using the dagger to cut
off the part I said, or my people will go cut Anne’s.”
Luna’s face turned pale immediately, and she instinctively stepped back. Her hand
shivered so violently that the dagger nearly fell off her hand.
Joshua furrowed his brows and dashed forward to hold Luna in his arms.’ Jacqueline,
even if you think we’re the ones who killed Fiona, you shouldn’t attempt to do
something as crazy and heartless as this.”
Jacqueline smiled. “Crazy and heartless, you say?”
She gave Luna and Joshua a deadly stare filled with derangement. “Do you think it
was right of you after what you two did to my sister?
“Joshua Lynch, stop pretending. I’m being nice enough to not take either of your lives
because you killed my precious sister. Do you think you’re in the position to be
negotiating with me?”
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2944--Seeing how Jacqueline was getting angrier by the minute, Luna quickly extended her
hand out to stop Joshua, afraid the woman would lose her mind and hurt Anne. “Don’t
get involved for now.”
Maybe Jacqueline was right when she said Anne was just her friend from Joshua’s
point of view. It was normal that Joshua would not care about Anne that much.
For Luna, however, it was different. Anne was her best friend.
When her face was disfigured seven years ago, Anne was the person she trusted the
most. She was also the person Luna went to when she had troubles.
After Malcolm ruined her original face, Anne and her teachers were the ones who took
time, little by little, to restore her face. Although Anne was just an intern then, she was
the one person who cared about Luna among the other surgeons.
The only thing the other doctors cared about was her recovery and if her restoration
was a success. Anne was the only one who would ask if Luna was in pain and if
Luna’s decision and persistence were worth it.
On the nights when Luna was in so much pain, Anne would sneak into her ward with
comfort food. She would open the window to let the night breeze enter the room and
admire the moon and wind with Luna, whose head at the time was wrapped up like a
mummy.
She even told Luna this before…
“As a matter of fact, I don’t think being pretty is important. I mean it, even when I’m a
plastic surgeon myself. Beauty is very important to girls, but I always think that being
happy is more important. If becoming beautiful makes you happy, then your plastic
surgery is worth it. However, if being beautiful only pains you more, then plastic
surgery has no meaning.
Instead, you should live your life and be happy. That’s the most important to me.”
Luna could still remember the exact words Anne said. Anne used to give her lots of
power. Even reminiscing about it, Luna still felt touched.
Because of that, she thought Anne was the best friend she could ever have in this life.
There were many times she expressed how much she envied Anne’s life. She thought
the happiness between Anne and John was supposed to be how a normal couple
would live.
In a cruel twist of fate, her best friend was experiencing something a normal woman
should not feel for her whole life because of Luna. She was not going to allow
Jacqueline or her people to do anything that could hurt Anne.
She took a deep breath and pointed the dagger at herself. “Jacqueline, you don’t have
to show me the video, and please don’t hurt Anne.
“I know you hate me because you think I killed your sister. This is something that we
can’t solve. So just tell me-how should I hurt myself for you to be satisfied?”
This matter had been between her and Jacqueline. Anne was innocent, so she should
not suffer any harm from it.
Jacqueline raised her brow after hearing what Luna said. “Luna, I have no idea if
you’re trying to stall time or something.”
Her impression of Luna was that she was a selfish person. Her selfishness was the
reason why she would kill Fiona. How could such a selfish woman be willing to hurt
herself just to save her friend?
All this while, Jacqueline thought Luna was the selfish type of person.
Someone who only cared about herself…
“I’m not trying to stall time.” Luna curled up her lip and offered Jacqueline a bitter
smile. “I just don’t want to see my friend get hurt. Get your people to release Anne
right away, and I’ll hurt myself now.”
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2945--Jacqueline froze at this. “You… You’re willing to sacrifice yourself for Anne?
This was impossible!
Luna was not the kind of person who would do this, nor would she ever be! This was
the woman who killed Fiona-her sister! How could a woman like her possibly be willing
to sacrifice herself for someone else, much less a friend who had no blood connection
to her at all?
“Isn’t this what you wanted the most?” Luna raised her brows, staring coldly at
Jacqueline, and pointed the dagger at herself. “I’ve told you-you should take out your
hatred on me, not anyone else!”
“Luna!” Joshua’s eyes widened in shock as he watched Luna pointing the dagger at
herself. He stepped forward, trying to stop her. “Don’t do
anything rash! Don’t hurt yourself now-there might still be a chance!”
Even though Luna did not know that Anne was no longer alive, Joshua knew it as
clear as day.
Since everything had gotten to this stage, there was no point feeling sorry about it any
longer. What mattered the most now was to get ahold of Luna and stop her from
harming herself!
“What chance?” Luna curled her lips into a bitter smile. “Joshua, you were trying so
hard to distract me, first bringing me shopping, then to the salon for a makeover. Do
you think I had no idea what you were trying to do? I know you’re just doing this to
stall time and prevent me from discovering what happened to Anne!”
The color drained from Joshua’s face at this. He furrowed his brows, then nodded.
“Yes, you’re right, but…”
“I guessed that you probably found out about what happened to Anne, and you’re just
trying to distract me to prevent me from finding out, and at the same time trying to
save her before I discovered the truth.
“This is Banyan City, for God’s sake-you and Jude’s territory. If not even the two of
you managed to save her after a whole afternoon, there’s
probably no hope left.” With that, Luna turned to stare at Jacqueline. “Even though I
don’t know how you managed to evade Joshua and Jude’s search
IV
She raised the dagger again, pointing its sharp tip at herself. “I know your target is
me, and if I’m willing to sacrifice myself right here, you should let go of Anne. You can
do anything you want to me, but Anne is innocent, and she shouldn’t get involved in
this.”
Jacqueline could not help furrowing her brows at this.
The truth was…her plan had been flawed since the start.
Willow and James were just simple-minded thugs, and she never expected them to be
able to carry out such an intricate plan.
The truth was, she had only come up with the idea of kidnapping Anne after
discovering that Anne and John were the only two people Joshua and Luna chose to
contact after returning to Banyan City.
In the past, she thought Luna and Anne were just ordinary friends, but the fact that
Anne was one of the only people to know of Luna’s return signified that she was
someone dear to Luna’s heart.
Jacqueline never put much thought into this kidnapping at all, but after Luna
mentioned it, she could not help feeling a little dubious.
How could a thug like Willow manage to evade Joshua and Jude’s search? Was it
possible that Anne had been successfully rescued by them?
At the thought of this, Jacqueline frowned and immediately tapped on her phone,
trying to initiate a video call with Willow to confirm Anne’s status
If Anne had been rescued by Joshua, this whole thing would turn her into a
laughingstock!
“No!” Joshua instinctively reached out to snatch Jacqueline’s phone from her at this
sight, but it was too late.
Jacqueline had already pressed the button.
Within a few seconds, the call was connected.
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2946--The video on the screen made Luna’s eyes widen in horror and her blood run cold.
The scene projected on the white screen was that of Anne being stabbed by Willow
that afternoon.
Willow did not know of the vengeance between Luna and Jacqueline at all. All she
knew was that Luna had crossed Jacqueline in the past, which was why she ordered
Willow to kidnap Anne for revenge.
All she knew was that Jacqueline wanted Anne to be kidnapped and that she was not
to walk out of the dungeon alive.
Not only that, but Jacqueline even told her that she would video call her at night so
that everyone would be able to seethe live stream of Anne being killed because of
Luna. Because of this, Willow thought that all Jacqueline wanted was to see Anne
dead.
Therefore, when Vanessa requested to meet up with her that afternoon. Willow was
worried that Anne would find a way to escape while she was gone, and she would get
in trouble with Jacqueline for failing to complete her task, which was why she had
killed Anne right on the spot and even recorded a video for Jacqueline’s sake.
Therefore, when Jacqueline dialed her number for a video call, Willow proudly
presented the video recording of her killing Anne on the screen.
The image of Anne widening her eyes in shock as blood spurted from her wound and
oozed out onto the floor shook everyone to the core.
Everyone stared in horror at the sight before them, utterly stunned and speechless.
Even Jacqueline was dumbstruck by this and widened her eyes in shock. How could
this be?
Although she had told Willow before that she would eventually kill Anne by forcing
Luna to watch her being killed, she never thought Willow would do it from the start!
Jacqueline took a step back as she watched the life drain from Anne’s eyes until her
limp, lifeless body finally slumped onto the ground.
She turned to glance in Luna’s direction.
She had kidnapped Anne to hold her hostage and use her to threaten and humiliate
Luna, but since Willow killed her, what was she supposed to do?
Jacqueline’s gaze met Luna’s glassy, bloodshot eyes.
All of a sudden, the memories of that afternoon surged into her mind as she stared at
the screen.
She remembered! She finally remembered!
Anne…Anne had been killed that afternoon…
Not only that, but she was the reason Anne had gotten kidnapped in the first place! If
she had not dragged Anne out to shop, and if she had not let Anne eavesdrop on
Jacqueline and James’ conversation…
If she had insisted on staying home; if she had been more alert; if she had chosen to
contact Joshua earlier the moment she and Vanessa managed to get in touch with
Willow, none of this would have happened.
Anne would not have died if only she had been more alert!
The irony was, she had lost this utmost important snippet of her memory out of
distress when it was her that had led to Anne’s death in the first place. If the scene
before her had not jogged her memory, Luna would still be in an ignorant trance about
what had happened.
At the thought of this, Luna turned to meet Jacqueline’s gaze.
“I thought you kidnapped Anne just to teach me a lesson and that you’d never truly
hurt her. I thought you had some sense in you, and I was even willing to sacrifice
myself in exchange for hers, but Jacqueline, you don’t deserve any mercy!
“You don’t deserve to be a human!”
Luna let out an exhale, tightened her grip around the dagger’s handle, and lunged
straight toward Jacqueline
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2947 --Even the air seemed to freeze when Luna’s blade sank into Jacqueline’s abdomen.
Just a few moments ago, everyone in the hall was stunned by the video shown on
screen of Anne’s death, but everyone’s attention was gripped by the fact that Luna
had stabbed another woman right in front of them!
Even Jacqueline was stunned by this. She widened her eyes in horror, staring at
Luna.
How could this be? How did Luna dare to hurt her in front of everyone?
She slowly lowered her head.
The blade was entrenched deep in her abdomen, and bright red blood was seeping
along the edge of the dagger, finally dripping onto the ground and staining the white
floors a jarring shade of scarlet.
The shock dissipated from her eyes as she stared at the blood. Then, finally,
Jacqueline lifted her head to stare at Luna, a triumphant sneer on her face.
“Luna,” she muttered, trying to stifle the excruciating pain as she sneered at the
woman before her. “You’re dead.”
The reason she had gone to such great lengths to take revenge on Luna and Joshua
was that she had no evidence of them actually killing Fiona. After all, no one had yet
to find her corpse, much less any concrete evidence of their involvement in this.
Jacqueline knew that Luna and Joshua were behind Fiona’s death, but since she had
no evidence, this was the only way she could get revenge on them, but at this
moment, things had changed…
Although she still did not have any proof of Luna killing Fiona, one thing was clearLuna attacked her.
Almost everyone who was anyone in Banyan City was gathered here at the wedding,
and Luna stabbed her in front of so many pairs of watchful eyes…
Not even Joshua could save Luna from this, no matter how powerful he was, unless
he could somehow buy out everyone at the scene and prevent them from telling the
truth…but this was impossible.
Most of them were Adrian’s debtors and had gathered here to get their money back
from Joshua.
Although Joshua had cut ties with Adrian, these people still harbored vengeance over
their lost money, and if Joshua were to bribe them, they would surely make
outrageous requests that Joshua would never be able to fulfill.
Not only would they ask for their money back, but they would also even go to great
lengths to ask for more compensation, and no matter how powerful Joshua’s business
was, he would never be able to support so many people.
Therefore, Luna…would have to go to jail.
At the thought of this, Jacqueline sneered and grabbed hold of Luna’s hand, which
was still curled around the handle of the dagger, and sunk the blade even deeper into
her own belly.
As the pain grew even more intense, the smile on her face widened. She stared at
Luna intently and murmured, “You’re dead, Luna. I’ll let you rot your next ten years in
jail.”
Luna, who had lost almost all sense of rationality at this point, snickered at this. “Well,
since I’m going to jail anyway, I might as well kill you so you’ll meet Anne in the
afterlife!”
With that, she yanked the dagger out and raised it, getting ready to stab Jacqueline
once more.
“Luna!” Joshua lunged toward Luna, grabbing hold of her around the waist, and
bending her wrist at an angle that loosened her grip around the dagger. The dagger
clattered on the ground, and Joshua wrapped his arms around her. “Don’t fall for her
trick! She’s trying to provoke you!”
Luna did not struggle against his grip and instead lifted her head to meet his head.
“She’s not trying to provoke me. I really want to kill her. I want to avenge Anne’s
death!”
“Anne won’t return even if you kill her!”
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2948-Joshua was stunned by what Luna said.
After a while, he reached out his hand to hold Luna’s hand tightly. “I know you’re
having a bad moment now, and I also understand how important Anne is to you, but
think about just how many people are watching now, Luna. You cant…”
‘Take my life, then! At least that way I can be with Anne!” Luna exclaimed.
She looked up. Her eyes were filled with anger and guilt.
That look of hers ached Joshua’s heart. He could tell Luna was serious about what
she said. It was not something she blurted out because of impulsiveness.
He paused for a while. Just when he successfully gathered his words to console her,
Jacqueline laughed. ‘Luna, I thought you were going to take revenge for your friend by
killing me?
‘Do it!” Jacqueline pressured Luna.
Blood stained Jacqueline’s white wedding gown red color, but the smile on her face
was even more arrogant and sinister than before. “What’s wrong? You don’t dare to do
it, don’t you? Backing out like a coward? So this is what you meant when you say
Anne is your best friend? What a joke! Your best friend is dead because of you, and
here you are! The person responsible for her death is standing here, and you don’t
even dare to do anything about it!”
As a matter of fact, Jacqueline knew a thing or two about medicine. Hence, she was
aware that Luna did not cause any injury to her organ when Luna stabbed her. At this
moment, her body was just bleeding but would not result in death.
If Luna stabbed her once more, it would severe her body. By then, there was no way
Joshua could save Luna, not even when he was the judge himself!
Her ultimate motive was to send Luna to jail. She wanted Luna to pay for killing Fiona!
‘Shut the fuck up!” Joshua glared at Jacqueline angrily. “Do you really think your sister
is innocent? Luna never thought about hurting or killing her!
Your sister was the one who did it to herself!”
‘You liar!” roared Jacqueline. “My sister is from the Grace family, and she’d never do
such things! It was you two! You two killed her!”
She looked at Luna, who was in Joshua’s arms, and attempted to trigger her again.
‘Come get me, Luna! Avenge your best friend’s death! What’s wrong? You don’t dare
to do it? Being a coward?
“Oh, I know! You’re a selfish, self-centered person. You don’t care about Anne’s life.
Anne was never important to you. The most important person is you!”
Luna clenched her hands tightly into fists as she rested them at her sides. The
memory she had with Anne flashed in her mind. When Anne was smiling; when Anne
was carrying Sammie; when Anne consoled her when she could not sleep at night;
and when she and Anne watched the night sky together…
Tears started to roll down her eyes. She lifted her head and looked at the smug
Jacqueline with teary eyes.
After a while, she struggled vehemently. “Let go of me! I want to kill her!”
“Luna!” The more she struggled, the tighter Joshua confined her with his arms. “Don’t
listen to her. She’s just trying to play with your mind!”
He reached out and held her hand tightly. “Anne is gone. There’s nothing you can
change even if you kill Jacqueline!”
“I’ve failed Anne!” Luna shouted.
“You’re going to disappoint her even more if you’re put in jail for killing Jacqueline!”
Joshua grabbed her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. ’ Anne is dead. Sammie
has lost her mother. If you truly think you’ve failed Anne, then you should move on
with your life. Find John and Sammie; help Anne take care of her child! What can you
solve if you act so recklessly now?”
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2949 -Joshua’s words shook Luna to the core. She dazedly looked at the man in front of her.
“L.should help Anne take care of Sammie?”
“Yes!” Joshua grasped her chin and wound his free arm around her slim waist. He solemnly said, “If you think you owe Anne, and if you believe you were the reason why Anne is dead, make it up to her. Since you’re the reason Sammie wont have a mother in her life anymore, take up the responsibility to be her mother! Look after Sammie so she’ll be able to grow up happily.
’Would you be daring enough to seek forgiveness from Anne when you meet her in
the afterlife? Are you sure you don’t want to do anything to atone for your sin before
you meet her?”
A glimmer of hope slowly returned to Luna’s lost eyes. She bit her lip as she could not
help her tears from spilling. “You’re right…”
She was the reason Anne was dead. She was the reason Sammie had to grow up
without her mother.
She needed to help Anne to give Sammie a complete life. This was not the time for
her to perish with Jacqueline!
‘Anne will ask if I’ve helped her take care of Sammie when I see her in the afterlife.
How am I going to answer and face her if I act recklessly now?’ she thought.
Finally, she stopped struggling.
This did not go unnoticed by Jacqueline, and the cynicism in her eyes hardened.
‘Joshua is even harder to deal with than I imagined! Without him, I would’ve agitated
Luna and made her hurt me one more time!’
She bit her lip and gave Luna a cold look. “Are you sure you want to listen to him? He
tried so hard, yet he still failed to rescue Anne. He even kept you in the dark when
Anne was kidnapped. He’s a selfish person. Just because he wants to keep you by
his side, he purposely stopped you from avenging your best friend’s death!”
As she was talking, she bent down to pick up the dagger from the floor and strode
over to Luna while enduring the pain from the stab wound. She attempted to put the
dagger back into Luna’s hand.
“Come on, Luna. Didn’t you say Anne is your best friend? Don’t you even dare to
avenge her death? Don’t listen to him about taking care of her kid! John can take care
of his own daughter!
“Besides. If Joshua cares about you, he’d help you to take care of Anne’s kid after you
avenge Anne’s death. Anne’s kid isn’t the reason why you should not avenge her
death!”
She glared at Luna, the look in her eyes becoming more unhinged. “Come on! Kill me!
‘Kill me now, Luna! Avenge your friend! Don’t tell me you can’t do it now! Anne died for
nothing because you’re a coward! She lost her life because of you, and you don’t even
dare to avenge her death!”
Luna raised her head and looked at Jacqueline’s demented stare. Her brows
squeezed together. Everything Jacqueline said was like a knife stabbing into her
heart.
Anne’s death would always pain her heart, a mistake that she would never forgive
herself for. She did not want to give up knowing she had the chance to avenge Anne’s
death at this moment.
A life for a life. There was nothing wrong with that. Jacqueline should die for killing
Anne.
However…
She thought about Sammie. She thought about how guilty she would be when she
met Anne in the afterlife…
Luna bit her lip.
Just as she was about to say something, the door was kicked open with a loud slam.
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2950-The loud slam caught the guests by surprise as they looked over at the door.
There stood a group of armed policemen. Some of them rushed to the stage. “Ms. Grace, you’re under arrest for kidnapping and suspected murder. We’re taking you in according to the law.”
Jacqueline had expected the police to arrive. She silently extended her hands out as told.
Click! The police secured the woman in the wedding gown with cold handcuffs.
“Sir.” Jacqueline looked at her injury after she was cuffed. “Please take me to the hospital.”
The police looked over and noticed she was bleeding. The lead, a policewoman,
frowned. “How did that happen?”
‘Ms. Luna here stabbed me,” Jacqueline curled her lips and sneered. “She tried to kill me. Are you going to do anything about that?”
The female police frowned as she looked at Luna, “You did this?”
She recognized Luna. When Anne was kidnapped, she tapped and listened to the conversation between Vanessa and Willow. She was in the loop about Anne’s death and was also aware that Luna was Anne’s best friend. The thing that surprised her was how Luna would act recklessly by trying to kill someone with a dagger in such an open environment.
Luna nodded. “Yes.”
“Take her.” The female police no longer sympathized with her when Luna admitted to it. “There are many ways to express your anger, and hurting someone else isn’t one of them. You should know the price to pay since you’re much calmer now.”
She looked around and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, we’ll send reinforcements and try to take down everyone’s record as soon as possible. Please do not leave.”
She waved and instructed her colleagues to send Jacqueline to the hospital and Luna to the station.
“Wait.” Just when the police were taking Luna away, Joshua frowned and stepped forward. He held Luna’s hand lightly and said, “Stay calm. I’ll find a way to get you out soon. Also…”
He took a breath and stared into Luna’s eyes. “I’ll try to locate John and Sammie too. Both of us are responsible for Anne’s death. I’ll help John and take care of Sammie with you in the future.”
Luna looked at Joshua with teary eyes. Finally, she nodded. “Thank you.”
Joshua took another deep breath when he knew Luna was emotionally grounded. He expressed his gratitude to the police guarding Luna and made way for them to leave. “Joshua! Are you going to let them take your wife away?” said Celia in a low voice, frowning. “It was all Jacqueline’s fault!”
He looked back at Celia. “It’s not up to us to determine who’s right or wrong.”
After another deep breath, he called Jude. “I have a favor to ask.”
Before the police started to take everyone’s statement, all the people at the wedding received the same message on their phones. The notification alert sounded across the venue.
They looked at their phones and could not help but to gaze at the man who was standing in the middle of the stage.
Joshua stood tall and straight with an indifferent look in his eyes as if they were not gazing at him.
Someone murmured, “Does Mrs. Lynch…really has that much charm for Joshua to make such a huge sacrifice just to protect her?”
