Ch. 2951..2960

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2951 -The news of Luna, Joshua Lynch’s wife, attempting murder at a wedding spread like wildfire through the entire Banyan City. Everyone was on the edge of their seats, waiting to see just how Joshua, the most powerful man in Banyan City, would help his wife get out of this pinch.

“I saw the news, Daddy.”

Joshua received a call from Nigel not long after he returned to the villa that night. Although he was only seven, Nigel was very mature for his age and calmly explained to his father, “I saw everything about Mommy’s outburst on the internet, but just to save you the trouble, I lied to Neil and Nellie about this, and I configured the internet here at Grandpa, Grandma’s, and Uncle Jim’s place so that none of them would be able to receive the news from Banyan City. Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control.” Joshua’s heart sank when he heard this. He leaned against the wall and let out a sigh.

“Like father, like son.”

It was unbelievable how detail-oriented Nigel was at such a young age.

“It’s just simple hacking. If I didn’t know how to do it, I wouldn’t have been able to do it even if I wanted to,” Nigel replied, then let out a sigh. “What are you going to do,

Daddy? Do you think you can settle all this within a week?

“I’m concerned that Neil and Nellie will realize something’s wrong if they can’t get in touch with Mommy within a week.”

Joshua closed his eyes. “I’ll try my best.”

He had been caught in plenty of tight situations in the past and had been through such treacherous dangers that no ordinary person could even

begin to imagine. However, he never once dreamed that one day, his wife would get caught up in such a crisis.

The image of Luna standing onstage, bringing the dagger down into Jacqueline’s abdomen materialized in Joshua’s mind once more. This was the version of Luna he had never once seen before.

She used to be a timid person-someone that would get nauseous and vomit at the sight of a car accident. At that moment, however, she had gone so far as attempting to kill someone amid the rage of losing her best friend!

Joshua used to think that Luna and Anne were just close friends, and it was not until that day that he finally realized just how much Anne meant to Luna-so much so that Luna passed out and suffered amnesia after hearing about Anne’s death, and so much so that she would be willing to kill the person responsible for Anne’s death in front of thousands of pairs of watchful eyes. Unfortunately, Luna never killed anyone before and thus was not familiar with human anatomy. Therefore, no matter how badly she wanted to kill Jacqueline right on the spot, her blade missed her target terribly. “By the way, Daddy, Uncle John and little Sammie…’ i

‘They’ve gone missing,” Joshua said before Nigel could finish his question and sighed.

“Your Uncle Jude and I have been searching forthem all afternoon. They’ve been

missing ever since your Aunt Anne passed away this afternoon.”

After retrieving Anne’s body, John and baby Sammie disappeared without a trace, and despite rifling through all the available surveillance footage around the hospital, there was no sign of them at all.

Where could John have gone with an infant and a dead body?

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Jacqueline lay in bed, hooked up to an array of machines

and an oxygen mask.

Although Luna’s attack missed her vital organs, she still suffered significant

hemorrhage and slipped into a coma even before reaching the hospital. Even at this moment, she was still in a critical state.

Jacqueline sneered as she lay on the bed, staring up at the ceiling as she breathed in the oxygen through her mask.

Although she was still alive, she could not say the same for Luna.

‘My dear Fiona, I’ve finally avenged your death!’ she thought to herself.

All of a sudden, the door swung open.

A pair of men’s leather shoes stepped into the room, pausing exactly aton her oxygen

tube.

Jacqueline’s breath caught in her throat, and she immediately turned around with wide eyesThe man reached out and yanked off all the wires and tubes attached to Jacqueline, barely keeping her alive, and sneered. “Do you know me, Jacqueline?”

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2952

The next morning, Joshua was just about to take a quick nap on the sofa after working the entire night when his phone rang.

It was Jude.

Joshua picked up, rubbing his eyebrows in exhaustion. “What’s wrong?”

“Joshua!” Jude exclaimed from the other end of the line. “Where were you last night?”

Joshua furrowed his eyebrows and glanced at the empty living room. “At home, of course.”

Before this, he and Luna had stayed in a rental unit that John helped them book so that their return to Banyan City would remain a secret, but considering that everyone in Banyan City knew that they returned and even witnessed Luna attempting murder, Joshua decided not to continue staying at the rental unit anymore and instead returned home to Blue Bay Villa. Since Blue Bay Villa had been abandoned for quite some time, he dismissed most of the servants working there, with only a couple remaining to keep the villa clean and tidy.

It was five in the morning, and the cleaners had yet to arrive, so Joshua was the only one at home.

“You didn’t go to the hospital, did you?” Jude asked after letting out an exhale.

Joshua raised his brows at this. “Why would I go there?”

“Jacqueline is dead.” Jude sighed. “The nurses found her when they were doing their ward rounds this morning. Someone yanked off all her equipment and oxygen supply.

She…quite literally suffocated to death.”

Joshua’s hand stiffened when he heard this. He was silent for a long time before finally asking, “Did they check the surveillance cameras?”

“Yes, the police did, but not only were the cameras in the hospital all destroyed, but even the ones on the road outside the hospital were also totally unreadable. “The police are racking their brains right now, trying to find a motive for the murderer

to kill her. They’ll probably get in touch with you soon. After all, you’re the person with the biggest motive to kill in the entire city.”

With that, Jude could not help confirming once more. “You’re sure you didn’t go to the

hospital last night, right?”

Joshua furrowed his eyebrows at this. “I have my villa’s surveillance footage as proof.” “That’s good, that’s good.” Jude let out a sigh of relief and patted his chest. “I was

worried for a second that you’d be as impulsive as your wife was. If the two of you

wind up in jail, all your businesses and your three children will end up in my hands.”

“Four children now,” Joshua corrected him. “We’ve found our youngest daughter.”

“What?” Jude was silent for a moment from the shock, then quickly added,” Well, in that case, you’d better keep your head on. I don’t know how to take care of a baby.” “You won’t need to.” Joshua rubbed his brows in frustration and was about to say something when his doorbell rang. “Is that the police?” Jude could not help frowning when he heard the doorbell ring from the other end of the line. “They just left the hospital; I didn’t think they’d arrive so soon.”

Joshua furrowed his brows at this. “Talk to you later.”

With that, he put down his phone and went to open the door.

A man dressed in black was standing in the rain with his umbrella open. A smile spread across his pale face when he saw Joshua. “Hello, Joshua.” Joshua’s entire body froze when he saw who it was. “You?”

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2953-“Yes, it’s me.”

It was none other than John, who disappeared the day before with Anne’s body and their daughter, Sammie. At this moment, he was standing at Joshua’s door with an umbrella in the pouring rain, his eyes bloodshot. “I was the one who killed Jacqueline.”

John wanted to exact revenge against Jacqueline ever since finding out about Anne’s

death, but he never once dreamed that Luna, the person whom he blamed for Anne’s

death, would risk everything, including her status and future, to murder Jacqueline in

front of so many people…

It should have been him, and only him.

Therefore, after seeing the news last night, John decided not to hide any longer and instead went to the hospital to kill Jacqueline once and for all. If it were not for the fact that Willow was already arrested, he would have killed her, too. 1

Joshua sighed as he stared at John’s sunken face. “I knew it was you.”

There were no records of John or Sammie leaving the city, so this meant that they had been in hiding and never left Banyan City in the first place. After what happened the night before, there was no way John would not find out, nor

take matters into his own hands.

“I want to leave this place with Sammie and Anne.” John lifted his head to stare at Joshua with bloodshot eyes. “I heard what you said from the videos posted online-1

don’t need you or Luna to help me take care of Sammie.

“All I need you to do now is to arrange for a van to send me and Sammie out of here, safe and sound. I’ll raise Sammie by myself, and we’ll live happily ever after on our own-away from all of you.

“The only reason Anne suffered this fate is because of you. If she never met any of you, our lives would be peaceful and tranquil.”

Joshua furrowed his brows upon hearing this. As reluctant as he was, he had to admit that…John was right.

If John and Anne never met him and Luna, they would have continued to live a happy and peaceful life together.

At the thought of this, Joshua sighed and replied, “Alright. I’ll do that.”

He, too, wished that John and Sammie could get away from them and live their best

lives together.

Joshua made far too many enemies throughout his life, and after what happened with

Anne, everyone in Banyan City knew just how much John and little Sammie meant to

them.

If, like Jacqueline, his enemies decided to target John and Sammie instead

Joshua could not even begin to imagine the consequences of that.

“For safety purposes, I hope that you and Sammie will adopt new identities so no one

can find you.” “We will.” John nodded and let out a bitter smile. “Now that Jacqueline

is dead, I’ve also become a murderer. Changing our names and identities will be the

best option for US.”

Joshua sighed and nodded when he heard this. “When are you leaving?” “Right now.”

John sighed and replied with a sniffle, “But there’s something else I wish to ask of you,

Joshua.” “Tell me.” “I hope-’ he lifted his head to gaze at Joshua. “I hope that neither

of you, not even Luna, will try to find US, and no one will ever find out where we’ve

gone.

“Sammie and I never want to see any of you again in our lives-especially not Luna.”

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2954 -“Okay,” replied Joshua after a moment of silence.

“You shouldn’t stay here long. The police will be on me since Jacqueline is dead.

They’ll be here anytime soon looking for me,” he said.

He gave John a name card. “This is a name card of a logistic company’s owner. He owes me big time. Take this name card to him, and he’ll know you’re my friend. I’ll keep my promise and never ask the owner your whereabouts with Sammie, ever.”

John paused and nodded while he tightened his fist with the name card in his palm. “Goodbye.”

“Take care,” bade Joshua.

John turned around and used the black baseball cap to hide his face while walking

away with the umbrella. Just as he got to the street, a police car drove by.

It was a dim morning, and it was raining to boot. The police were busy tracking where

Joshua had been last night, so none of them noticed the man with the umbrella

leaving.

The moment John passed by the police car, he smiled ambiguously and contacted the

owner of the logistics company via phone.

In the meantime, the police car arrived at Joshua’s villa. They got out of the car and

started to question Joshua as they entered the villa. To their surprise, this business

mogul was not arrogant nor unfriendly like the other rich people. Throughout their exchange, he had been sincere and serious about cooperating with the police. He even asked the maid to prepare coffee for the police to make sure the police had

enough energy to keep their head clear to question him in the rainy weather. It lasted until the evening.

When Joshua sent the police away from the villa, his phone rang.

It was from the owner of the logistics company.

“Mr. Lynch, your friend has left Banyan City safely. He requested a truck from me and

brought a lady and a kid with him.”

“Thank you,” Joshua said.

“You don’t have to thank me.” The owner of the logistics company smiled on the other

end of the line. “They’re heading to the east. I guess they’re heading-”

“You don’t have to tell me where they are going,” Joshua interrupted.

John’s stance on never contacting each other in the future was right. If that decision

could keep both of them feeling safe, then so be it. He respected John’s choice.

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2955 -“No one is going to laugh at you.’ It seemed like Joshua could tell what Luna was thinking about.

He curled up his lips and smiled. “I’m here.”

Luna raised her head and looked at him through the glass. The determination and seriousness in his eyes warmed her chest.

She bit her lip. After a moment of silence, she asked, “How’s Jacqueline doing?’

With a peaceful expression, he looked at Luna’s face and said, “She’s dead.”

“She’s…dead?* Stunned, Luna looked back at him in disbelief. “How could that be?”

When she was brought away by the police, Jacqueline was still smiling at the police as she told them how she, Luna, tried to kill her. Although Jacqueline’s

abdomen was bleeding, her mind was clear and she was still very much alive.

‘How is she dead over the night?’ she thought.

“She didn’t die because you stabbed her in the stomach. Someone snuck into the hospital and killed her.” Joshua frowned.

He was not going to tell her John was the murderer.

“So, there is no plaintiff in your premeditated murder case. Everyone in the venue

also proved that you stabbed her because she kept provoking you. The police took the surveillance footage from last night too…” He looked up and gave her a serious look. “I believe this is going to be over sooner than you think, but you have to stay in here for a little while longer

because you injured her in public. Don’t worry. I’ll settle everything for you. When you’re out of jail, we’ll reunite as a whole family in this city.” His husky, melodious voice shook her heart. She looked up at him seriously for a very long time.

After a while, she finally could not help it anymore and lowered her head. She

covered her eyes with her hand and cried. “I’m sorry, Joshua…and I’m so sorry to Anne.”

It was all her fault. She was the reason for Anne’s death and Joshua’s suffering. She could imagine how people would laugh at Joshua and say his wife was a murderer.

Moreover, their kids… They would be affected by her, too.

She was a loser, she mocked herself. Maybe Willow should kill her instead of

Anne. What if she died instead? Could she atone for her sin against

Anne by then? Maybe Joshua and their kids would not be affected by her

wrongdoing.

“You didn’t fail anyone.* Joshua exhaled lightly.

He wanted nothing more than to hold her hand and bring her close to his chest. However, he could only look at her through the glass window and try to soften his

voice.

“Luna, it isn’t your fault. The bad people are those who tried to hurt you. You’re

not a god. You can’t tell the future nor do you know the perpetrators’ plans and intentions. I know if you knew you were being watched and someone was planning something, you’d never go out together with Anne.”

Luna cried and nodded.

“So.” Joshua continued to talk seriously, “none of this is your fault, Luna. You

don’t have to blame yourself. Willow is under arrest now, and the person behind

this, Jacqueline, got the punishment she deserved. Although you made a

mistake, it was nothing compared to what they did. Don’t blame yourself or be so upset.”

Luna sniffed.

After a while, she looked at Joshua.

“Then… Did you find John and Sammie? I…I wish to pay my respect to Anne after I’m out of here.”

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2956 -Perhaps Joshua never expected Luna would suddenly question him about John’s whereabouts at this time. He was startled and quietly shook his head. “No. He was gone with Anne’s body and Sammie after Anne passed away yesterday. I

looked everywhere-every train station, airport, harbor, and highway. But…”

He sighed. “I still can’t find any traces of him leaving. Maybe he’s still in the city. We just can’t find where he is hiding. Don’t worry. I’ll try my best to look for him.”

Since he promised John not to look into where he and Sammie were going, he thought it was unnecessary to let Luna know about the promise. It was better off-that

no one ever knew he had met up with John before.

“Okay.” The light in Luna’s eyes dimmed down after knowing that. “I’m sure he never

wants to see us again or doesn’t want to be found… If you can’t find him, just let it be.”

The whole city must have gotten the news that she nearly killed Jacqueline during the wedding. If John was still indifferent after seeing what she had done because of Annethen it was unlikely that he would ever want to meet her again.

“Okay.” Joshua nodded and started to remind Luna about some of the things to look

after before he finally got himself to leave the police station.

Once he was outside of the police station, a group of reporters rushed up.

“Mr. Lynch, I heard you have used an important subsidiary’s share under the Lynch group as a condition to those who attended the wedding last night. Is that true?”

“Is it true that you’re bribing them with the shares so they could put in more good

words for your wife when they were being questioned in an attempt to reduce her sentencing?”

“Do you think money can solve everything?”

“Are you preparing to let your wife be acquitted on her charge?”

Every question was portrayed in a way to imply a different meaning as the reporters surrounded Joshua.

Joshua sighed and answered, “I gave the shares to those who attended the wedding

yesterday because Adrian owes them money. That was it.

Although I have cut ties with Adrian, I’m still obliged to return the money because he

was using my name to borrow the money from them.

“I’m not trying to buy those people. I just hope they could tell the truth as it is in the

court. No one is acquitted of their charges if they committed a crime, including my wife. However, there was a reason why last night’s incident happened. I believe the laws are there to help good people. Rather than asking me all these questions now,

why don’t all of you spend some time investigating what really happened during last

night’s wedding.”

After that, he curled up his lips and smiled, and glanced over every reporter

indifferently. “Do you have other questions for me?”

He was naturally a cold and aloof person. After many years in the business world, he developed a stern and colder personality that was rare to see in a normal person. The reporters who had gotten used to all kinds of scenes became quiet all of a sudden because of his attitude and the way he looked at them. Everyone exchanged looks at each other and did not dare to agitate this imposing

man.

“Is that all?” He curled his lips and smiled. “I’ll get going then.”

He turned around and strode while leaving the reporters who did not even dare to

breathe harder at the police station.

When he got into his car in the car park, his phone rang. It was Jim calling him.

“Joshua! Why didn’t you tell us anything after what happened? If my friend didn’t show

me, I wouldn’t have known my sister is in jail now! We’re all at the airport now. My

plane is about to take off, and we’ll arrive tonight!”

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2957-Joshua instinctively rubbed his brows in frustration when he heard this.” Well, the truth is, none of you needed to come.”

Since Jacqueline was dead, there was no longer any plaintiff in Luna’s hearing. Not only that, but all the surveillance tapes of that night were seized by the police as evidence, and the fact that everyone at the wedding that day could vouch that Jacqueline provoked Luna to the extent that she lost control… This meant that Luna would not suffer too badly, even if she had to face judicial prosecution in the end. After all, she did this for her best friend, whom she held dear to her heart.

“Needn’t come?” Jim scoffed at this. “If we don’t come now, when are we supposed to see her? After she starts serving time in prison?

“This is absolutely outrageous, Joshua Lynch! Not only did you fail to protect Luna,

but now that she’s in jail, you even dare tell us not to come visit her!

“Did you intend to continue hiding this from us? We wouldn’t even have known about this if I hadn’t discovered it by accident!”

Joshua furrowed his brows when he heard the rage in Jim’s tone. Then, he replied calmly, “Yes, that was what I intended to do.”

Luna was only going to spend a few months in prison at most, and it would not be too difficult to hide this from the Landry family for the time being. Jim was utterly infuriated to hear this. “Joshua Lynch!”

“When are you arriving?” Joshua lowered his head to glance at the time, not in the mood to continue arguing with Jim. “Do you need me to pick you up at the airport?”

“What do you think?” Jim scoffed. “Even though I’ve been to Banyan City plenty of

times, this is still my parents’ first time ever stepping foot in this place. As the host,

shouldn’t welcoming your guests be part of your manners? If you don’t agree with me,

don’t come, then!”

With that, Jim hung up the phone.

Joshua curled his lips into a small smile when he heard the dial tone, then turned and

got into his car. “To the airport.”

Three hours later, a private plane arriving from Merchant City landed at the airport.

Jim strode out of the airport arrival hall, one hand holding onto Bonnie and the other

Harvey. Charles followed closely behind, wheeling Rosalyn along in her wheelchair.

Behind them was the Landry family’s new butler, a young woman wheeling Shelly’s

stroller while clutching Nellie’s hand tightly.

Even as she pushed the stroller along, she kept turning her head back to glance at

Nigel and Neil, who were dragging their own suitcases. “Please keep up, young

masters!”

Joshua could not help chuckling when he caught sight of the impressive crowd that

had flown in from Merchant City. He approached them and asked in a rather amused

tone, “Did you have to bring everyone?”

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2958 -Joshua nodded, gave Rosalyn a courteous smile, then circled past them and headed straight toward the kids.

“Daddy!” Nellie spread her little arms wide open when she saw him coming and lunged straight into his embrace. “I missed you so much!”

Joshua curled his lips into a smile as he knelt to pick her up. “Daddy misses all of you too.”

Nellie could not help pouting when she heard this. “What do you mean, you miss all of

us, and not just me?”

She reached out to point at Shelly’s stroller with her pudgy little finger. “Are you saying

that you don’t love me anymore ever since Shelly came along?”

Joshua could not help bursting into a chuckle when he saw the jealousy on Nellie’s face. “I meant all four of you, sweetheart.”

He pressed a kiss onto her cheek and added, “All four of you, and also your Mommy,

are my babies. I love all of you equally, and that never changed even after Shelly came along. And this means that I won’t stop loving Mommy or your brothers because

of you, do you understand?”

Nellie pursed her lips and cocked her head, trying to understand this, but before she

could come up with a response, Neil trotted over with his little suitcase and patted her shoulder. “Stop messing with Daddy. He’ll really think you’re jealous of little Shelly.”

Nellie shot him a murderous glare then turned to grin at her father as she snuggled

closer to him. “Daddy passed the test! I was wondering what I’d do if you told me you

only loved me, instead of Shelly, Daddy, but you love all of us equally after all! I’m happy about that!”

Joshua rubbed his brows in exasperation at this. He should have known that his little princess would not be the jealous type, but because he had not seen them in so long,

he was truly concerned that they would have changed.

“Come here, Daddy!” Nellie grabbed hold of him and dragged him to Shelly’s stroller.

“Look! Shelly looks like a younger version of me! Didn’t you used to say that you regret missing out on my childhood, Daddy? Well, you can always look at Shelly now!

She really looks like me!”

Even before they found out about Shelly’s true identity, Nellie used to think that the

baby bore a striking resemblance to herself, and when the truth surfaced, she could

not help loving Shelly even more.

After all, who could resist an adorable baby who not only looked like a splitting image

of themselves but would eventually grow up to be a playful little sister?

Joshua was dragged over to Shelly’s stroller.

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2959 -Neil and Nellie rushed to Joshua when they heard this and lined up to stare at him expectantly, waiting to hear his answer.

Even Shelly seemed to understand her brothers and sister’s actions and fixated her unblinking eyes on Joshua

Joshua sighed, gazing at the four children. “Your mother is fine, but…”

He reached out to gently clasp Nellie’s hand. “Unfortunately, Mommy needs to stay apart from us for a while. Will you wait patiently for Mommy to return?”

Nellie bit her lip and lifted her head to stare at Joshua with tearful eyes. “I will! Not only that, but I’m sure Nigel, Neil, and Shelly will all wait for her to come back!” As she said this, she trotted to the stroller and gently held her sister’s chubby hand. “Even though Mommy isn’t around, I’ll take good care of little Shelly! When she returns, she’ll see just how good of a sister I am!”

Joshua curled his lips into a smile as a surge of warmth spread into his heart. He was certain that Neil and Nellie had heard of what happened from Nigel, but none of them brought up Luna’s wrongdoings and instead wanted to hear about her well-being. He was thankful to have been blessed with such thoughtful, understanding children.

At the thought of this, Joshua hugged all of them before finally getting up and leading

the crowd back to Moore Mansion.

After finishing lunch, Jim and Bonnie went to the police station. Charles and Rosalyn

wanted to come along, but both Joshua and Jim stopped them from doing so.

They had reunited with Luna for less than a year, and considering it had been a long time since they last saw each other, they were worried that Charles and Rosalyn could not help crying if they saw Luna, considering what happened.

To prevent Luna from losing control of her emotions again, and in consideration of

Charles and Rosalyn’s health, Jim decided it was better for them to stay home while

he and Bonnie went instead.

“Why are you here?” Luna stared at them from across the glass and instinctively frowned. “Joshua told me that Nigel has blocked the news from all of you…”

“So it was Nigel after all!” Jim snorted in indignation, then shot Luna a helpless look. “I

knew Joshua wouldn’t have the time to block off the news from Landry Mansion,

considering how busy he must be. After all, it certainly isn’t an easy task to hack into the Landry family firewall, but it turns out…”

He pursed his lips. “Nigel was behind this after all.”

“Nigel just didn’t want us to worry.” Bonnie curled her lips into a smile and lifted her

head to glance at Luna. “Anne…”

The glint in Luna’s eyes dimmed at the mention of Anne’s name. She lowered her head and murmured, “I will always owe Anne my life.”

She let out a bitter chuckle and continued, “If I could’ve killed Jacqueline that day, I won’t even feel so guilty if I meet Anne in the afterlife, but now…”

“You shouldn’t blame yourself for this.” Bonnie sighed. “After all, this is the last thing Anne would want to see.”

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 2960 -Luna closed her eyes, and memories of her with Anne flashed in her mind. The countless nights Anne spent with her, the time they admired the moon together…

After Anne’s unfortunate death, Anne’s smiling face kept on appearing in her mind for days.

She knew very well Anne would not want her to blame herself because of how kind

she was. She even imagined Anne holding her hand, telling her it was not her fault

with kindness and love.

Nevertheless, it failed to make her come out from the fact that she was the reason herbest friend was dead. Every time she thought of this, the pain consumed her so badly that she thought it was a mistake for her to be alive.

“Luna.” Jim could see the sorrow and hopelessness in his sister’s eyes. He furrowed his brows while holding Bonnie’s hand to stop her from saying anything related to Anne.

“Dad and Mom flew here too. Everyone cares about you; we’re worried about you.

They wanted to come with us, but I stopped them. I was afraid you’d feel even worse if you saw them.

“The kids are here, too! You just need to take care of yourself. All of us will stay here and wait for you to come out. If you’re found guilty of attempted murder, we’ll stay here in Banyan City with you no matter how long your sentence is. I hope you won’t continue to blame yourself and live in sorrow. We’re always here for you.”

Luna bit her lip. Tears started falling when her eyes met Jim’s genuine, caring eyes. “I’m so sorry…”

Her parents were not young anymore, yet they had to travel so far just to wait for her to finish her sentence. The kids were just turning seven, yet they had to deal with the fact that their mother was about to be sentenced to jail. Would they still like her after knowing she was once in jail?

Perhaps she would feel better if she was sentenced to jail because she really did kill Jacqueline…but she was instead investigated for an attempted murder case. Not only did she fail to take revenge for Anne, but she even dragged her family with her. The tears in her eyes just would not stop rolling down her face. Maybe a person like her who kept troubling everyone should have died in the car

accident seven years ago…

She took a deep breath and looked at Jim, “Tell Dad and Mom that I’m sorry. All of

you…should go back.”

A bitter smile appeared on her face. “I’m not worth having all of you stay in Banyan

City just to wait for me. You have your own life. Go and live your life, and stop worrying about me.”

After that, she got up and left the visiting room.

“Luna…” Bonnie furrowed her brow as she looked at Luna leaving. “Did I say something wrong?”

Jim shook his head and grabbed her hand tightly. “There are things that she’s going to

say even when you don’t. It’s up to her to break free from this situation.”

He frowned and looked at Bonnie. “Is there any news regarding Anne’s husband and daughter?”

Bonnie shook her head. “Joshua’s men didn’t find them. I used all the manpower from Craig Group, yet there’s still no news about them. Maybe… he had left the city without

anyone knowing.”

Jim frowned. They were walking out of the police station as he carefully analyzed the whole thing. “John is missing. Jacqueline was killed when she was in the hospital…”

After a while, he looked up and said, “Hey, do you think John might’ve killed Jacqueline?”

Bonnie answered after being quiet for a while, “Maybe. What should we do now? Find John and make him admit that he killed Jacqueline in exchange for Luna’s freedom?”
