Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 411

Hailey's face instantly turned pale. Her face lost all of its colors.

She glanced at Alice rather anxiously. Alice pretended that she did not notice her gaze. She lowered her head and ate calmly.

Hailey then turned to look at Old Mr. Walter.

Although Old Mr. Walter was unhappy, he was still her father on the surface.

He cleared his throat and swept Hailey a cold glance. “Hailey, what Mr. Lynch is saying, is it true?“

Hailey's face was much paler than the wall behind her.

She bit her lips. “This is all not true! “

Then, she reached her hand out and pointed at Luna. “She's trying to accuse me! She has been jealous of me being the heiress of the Walters since birth, so she deliberately used all these to frame me! “

Luna could not help but furrowed her brows at Hailey's words.

She found it comical. She has said nothing from the start. If Joshua said nothing, she did not even know that all these coincidences were under the orders of someone else.

However, Hailey dared to turn it around and say that she was framing her?

Luna gracefully put her utensils down. She calmly glanced at Hailey.

“Ms. Hailey, I suggest you think before you speak. First, I am not from Sea City. Your achievements in Sea City have nothing to do with me. I am only here for a couple of days. In the past few days, other than meeting you briefly at the reception previously, I have never seen you before. Why should I be jealous of someone who I have barely met, let alone frame?“

Hailey's expressions suddenly turned ugly.

She harrumphed coldly and crossed her arms around her chest. She looked at Luna condescendingly. “A brief encounter with me is enough for you to be jealous of me for your entire life! If it was not because of jealousy, why would you want to frame me?“

Luna rubbed the middle of her brows. “I'll admit that I do not have a social status like yours, coming from a noble family, but no matter how noble your family, it is just a mere facade.

“I came from a humble background, but I worked hard to become the best jewelry designer in Europe. Now that I'm back in Banyan City, I 'm the principal Design Director of Lynch Group.“

Then, Luna raised her eyebrows and swept Hailey a cold glace. “As for you, Ms. Hailey. I have heard of your news. All these years, other than cosmetic surgeries, it seems like you have done nothing much?“

Alice and Hailey's faces instantly turned pale at her words.

Old Mr. Walter had a rather ugly expression too.

Luna slightly frowned. She knew that she had crossed the line a little.

Thus, she laughed gently, “Ms. Hailey, I don't mean anything by it. I'm only trying to say that you're not worthy for me to be jealous about nor enough for me to frame you.

“Also."

Luna took a deep breath. “This is also the first time I'm hearing this from Mr. Lynch. If you said that you are being framed, the person that framed you should be Mr. Lynch and not me."

Then, she picked up her utensils and continued eating with no regard for anybody.

Joshua narrowed his eyes at Luna's calm reaction. After a while, he lifted his head and looked at Old Mr. Walter and Hailey. “Luna does not know about this. I alone got someone to investigate this, including the incident this morning."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 412

Joshua gently knocked the table with one hand. “ When Ms. Gwen wanted to expose Ms. Hailey during the press conference, I also stopped her. I did this because of the relationship between the Lynches and the Walters. I'm willing to save the Walter family some face in front of the Sea City public.“

Then, Joshua raised his eyebrows. “Of course, if Ms. Hailey thinks that I'm framing her, I could only reveal all this evidence to the media. I'll let the public be the judge.“

Joshua looked at Hailey with an extremely sharp gaze. “Let them judge for themselves whether I am framing Ms. Hailey or is she targeting my staff?“

The entire dining room was in dead silence upon his words.

Old Mr. Walter looked at Alice, who was eating with her head lowered. Then, he looked at Hailey, whose face was miserably pale.

He harrumphed coldly and slammed the table fiercely. “You unworthy daughter, kneel! “

Hailey was stunned. She immediately got up and knelt on the ground Old Mr. Walter was so furious his face was flushed. He pointed at Hailey on the ground with a trembling hand. “I have already told you earlier that some things are not meant to be! You insist on having them! Now that you have them, you started to act all high and mighty. Just because you think that you have the Walter family to support you, you do whatever you want in Sea City. Is that it?“

On the surface, Old Mr. Walter was reprimanding Hailey, but in fact, he was directing it at Alice who was eating with her head lowered.

Alice buried her head and kept eating non-stop. However, looking over from Gwen's angle, one could still see that her face was miserably pale.

“Starting from today, you are no longer my child. You have no relationships with the Walter family!“ Old Mr. Walter rebuked coldly.

Hailey, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Old Mr. Walter in shock. “Master...what nonsense are you talking about? I...“

Although she was not the real Hailey, she was assuming the role of Hailey at that moment.

If Old Mr. Walter was cutting off ties with her, that meant...

That meant that Alice would not be able to return to the Walter family in the future!

Old Mr. Walter harrumphed coldly, “You're the one talking nonsense! You have done so many terrible things. Mr. Lynch is willing to let me deal with you personally. He has given you more than enough respect already!

“You are not allowed to have this meal! Go up and pack. The butler will send you out of the country.

You're not allowed to come back for the next five years! Since you like to do whatever you want to do in Sea City, I'll make sure you won't come back in the next five years! “

Hailey was stunned for a very long time.

After a while, she subconsciously looked at Alice.

Alice has already finished her meal. She was playing with her phone as if this had nothing to do with her.

Hailey took a deep breath, slowly got up, and headed upstairs.

Seeing her leave, Old Mr. Walter exhaled deeply. He turned and smiled at Joshua. “Joshua, are you satisfied with this?“

Joshua smiled a little. He turned and looked at Luna. “ Are you satisfied?“

Luna did not expect that he would leave such a difficult problem to her. She was in a daze for a few seconds before she looked at Old Mr. Walter. “Old Mr. Walter, I have a question I can't seem to figure out.“

“Tell me.“

“My friend and I asked around in Sea City yesterday. Everyone said that only with your permission could they lock people up in the Walter family prison in the backyard. Even your wife could not simply lock anyone up. Does that mean that you have a part in the kidnapping of Gwen's father, Andy?“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 413

The atmosphere in the dining room turned silent.

Old Mr. Walter's expressions were somewhat ugly. He looked at Luna coldly and said in an unfriendly

tone, “How concerned you are of the Walter family, Ms. Luna. You are right. Previously, only with my permission could they use the prison.“

Then, he inconspicuously swept a glance at Alice, whose head was buried extremely low.

His voice was quite cold, “But it's different now. The Walter family prison is not only under my command, but my daughter's too.“

Old Mr. Walter stroked his beard. “After all, I only have that one daughter. She will be taking over everything in the future, so I gave her the power to the prison. However, I did not expect that she would misuse the freedom I  gave her to do such  things. “

Luna has long expected  this response from Old Mr. Walter.

Thus, she smiled. “Then the news from the outside world is indeed lagging behind.“

Luna lowered her eyes, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. “Mr. Walter, you should update the news to prevent further unnecessary misunderstandings.“

Then, she swept a glance at Gwen, who was pale in the face. “The incident where Andy was kidnapped and locked up in prison, although Ms. Hailey was the one that did it, from the outside, since only you have

the authority to lock people up, so this was done by you.“

Luna's voice was calm, but every word was spoken with weight.

“The Larson family have been family friends with the Walter family. Mr. Larson has done so many things for you too. You should clear your name and clarify your innocence, so as not to hurt the feelings of others who do things for you too.“

Luna's words shocked everybody there.

Gwen subconsciously turned to look at Luna, her eyes were filled with gratitude.

Joshua smiled a little.

Luna's intention was obvious.

She was paving a way for Andy and Gwen so that they could continue surviving in Sea City in the future.

At least, after she pointed this matter out to Old Mr. Walter, he has to apologize to Andy no matter what for the sake of his respect.

Also, Old Mr. Walter could not make things difficult for Andy for the time being. If not, others would think that he was taking it out on them because of Hailey.

Joshua narrowed his eyes and looked at Luna's petite, exquisite face.

This woman has exceeded his expectations of her time and time again.

He thought that Luna would mention the prison incident just to blame Old Mr. Walter.

He never would have thought that she was looking out for Gwen and Andy.

However, Gwen and she were rivals just a few days ago. Just because Theo brought her to Gwen and Ben's house to spend the night, the two of them had become such good friends?

One did not care about her father's survival, only wanting to clear Luna's name during the press conference.

The other gave up the opportunity to blame the person who hurt her, just to make sure that Gwen would not be bullied in Sea City in the future.

At that thought, Joshua turned to look at Alice.

Initially, at this table, Alice should be the one who should be closest to Gwen.

However, why did Luna and Gwen become good friends instead in the end, while Alice became the outsider?

Everything that Luna was saying and doing at that moment only seemed to be logical if it was Alice doing them.

However...

Alice only buried her head and ate non-stop.

Noticing his gaze, Alice looked up and smiled prettily. “Why are you not eating but looking at me?“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 414

Joshua smiled. “I thought that you would have said something.“

Alice shuddered a little.

After a moment, she lifted her head, smiled, and looked at Luna. “If Joshua did not say it, I wouldn't have known that Ms. Hailey had done so many things.“

Then, she weighed her words before saying with a smile, “Perhaps Ms. Hailey is jealous of Ms. Luna's talent? After all, Luna is an exceptional jewelry designer. The Walter family is also in the jewelry business. Why would Ms. Hailey want to get rid of such a talented designer like Luna?“

Her indifferent statement did not mention her previous best friend, Gwen.

Joshua furrowed his brows tightly. His Luna Gibson in the past was not a person like that. She was a kindhearted and gentle woman. She would always care about other people's feelings.

For example, according to Luna Gibson in the past, the words that Luna said on behalf of the Larson family, she would say them too.

However, at that moment, not only did Alice not help the Larson family, but when he asked her to say a word or two, she only said unhelpful things.

Was it time that changed her, or...

The meal ended with Old Mr. Walter apologizing politely to Gwen.

After the meal, Luna took the initiative to visit Gwen's father with her.

Joshua had some work to do. He arranged a few bodyguards to wait for Alice outside and left first.

After everyone left, only Alice and Old Mr. Walter were left in the dining room.

“I told you to not be too greedy.“

Old Mr. Walter lit a cigarette and swept Alice a cold glance. “Ever since you had the surgery to change into this face, I have warned you that if you are

going to assume another person's identity, you have to forget that your past that you are the heiress to the Walter family!

“Look at what happened. You think that just because you are in Sea City, you are in your territory. You used all your power to deal with Luna! “

Then, he harrumphed coldly, “If it were not for the scapegoat to take your blame, how would you have planned to handle this?“

Alice shrugged. She reached her slender finger out and gently fiddled with the glass on the table. “I never would have thought that Joshua would value her so much. He actually even investigated this incident.“

He even managed to investigate Gavin, whom she hired to harass Luna.

How much did Joshua value Luna?

“If you don't want others to know about your wrongdoings, don't do them! “

Old Mr. Walter glared at her coldly. “I've already said just now. I'm going to send you overseas to study for five years. In five years' time, if you can truly become the real Mrs. Lynch, I '11 treat it as if you are not my daughter. However, if someone were to expose you, I'll resume your identity as my daughter after five years when you come back.“

Alice lazily responded.

Old Mr. Walter sighed resentfully, “For the next five years, the Walter family no longer has an heiress.

You cannot do bad things in her name! “

“I know.“

Alice swept an annoyed glance at Old Mr. Walter. “I'll be better in the future. I 'm only being arrogant now because no matter what I do, I have a scapegoat to blame it on.“

Then, she sneered, “That puppet. I got her to take my place just to be a scapegoat. She still foolishly thinks that she would live a good life as the heiress of the Walter family. How pathetic.“

Hailey, who was upstairs, just got the news that Joshua had left. She was about to anxiously head down. Just when she was at the railings of the second floor, she heard Alice's cold voice coming from below.

Hailey subconsciously took a few steps back.

Her heart sank in disappointment and in despair.

In the end, she directly went back to her room, picked up her phone, and dialed a number.

”Mr. Lynch, I have something to tell you.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 415

When he received Hailey's call, Joshua was sitting in the car having a simple international meeting.

He did not know why but since the afternoon the day before, Lynch Group has been constantly hacked by foreign hackers.

All of them were skillful hackers. Even Joshua would need some time to solve them.

After the hackers infiltrated past the Lynch Group's firewall, they went straight for the Lynch Group's core data. It was as if they were determined to make Lynch Group go bankrupt at all costs.

At the same time, Malcolm Quinn of the Quinn Group also began to take advantage of the opportunity.

In less than two days, the Lynch Group was being attacked from front and back.

Joshua's instincts told him that these things had something to do with Luna.

First, Malcolm and Luna are good friends and future fiancés.

Also, the hacker... he might very possibly be the one that had always been helping Luna.

However, the defamations of Luna on the internet were done by Hailey of the Walter family. Why would Malcolm and the hacker target the Lynch Group?

Just when Joshua was still confused, Hailey called him.

He initially did not want to pick it up. After a moment of hesitation, he still picked it up, in the end.

“Mr. Lynch, I have something to tell you. “ On the other end of the call, Hailey's voice was trembling and it sounded like she was crying.

Joshua furrowed his brows. He replied calmly, “Tell me.“

He never had ever liked Hailey.

“Can you help me? I don't want to go away...“ Hailey was crying. “Actually, I'm not the real heiress of the Walter family. I'm not Hailey Walters! The real Hailey is someone else. She is...“

“Hailey, who are you talking with on the phone?“ Before Hailey could finish her sentence, Old Mr.

Walter's cold voice rang out.

Thud!

The call was dropped.

What the hell was this father-daughter duo doing? In order to keep Hailey from going overseas, were they trying to ask for pity?

Joshua took a deep breath. Before he could give it closer thought, another call for help came from the data center in his computer.

Joshua squinted his eyes. He took his computer over and caught himself in another round of tough battle.

Luna accompanied Gwen to the hospital. Although the injury on Ben's leg did not affect his bones or tendons, the gash was deep. He would not be able to walk for a month.

Luna sat on the chair and looked at Gwen gently feeding Ben porridge. She could not help but feel emotional. “Even when we were in school back then, I had already thought that you two are a great match.“

Ben chuckled gently. “When we were in school, the person I liked was you, but you always persuaded me to consider Gwen. At that time, I always thought that she was rather foolish. Now it looks like...“

Ben looked at Gwen tenderly. “Luna's judgment is much better than mine. If I were to pursue Gwen in high school, I would have been happier much earlier.“

Gwen blushed at his words.

She gave him a scornful glare, then fed him porridge gently.

“Tsk, tsk.“ Luna helplessly rubbed the middle of her brows. “Get a room, you two.“

Gwen blushed. “Luna, what do you plan to do next?“

“No plans.“ Luna shrugged. “It will still be the same from the beginning. Get pregnant and cure Nigel.

Then we'll see about it.“

Gwen sighed, “When I heard the news that you married Joshua, Ben and I were still happy for you. We thought that you had married a great man. Who would have thought...“

Before she could finish her sentence, Gwen's phone rang. She furrowed her brows and picked up. ”Dad, what's going on?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 416

Andy, on the other end of the line, said something when Gwen's face instantly turned pale.

After a while, she hung up. She looked at Luna closely. “Hailey Walter is dead. She jumped off a building.“

Luna felt every ounce of her muscle stiffened. Hailey Walter... was dead?

She killed herself?

Luna retreated a few steps back.

More than an hour ago, Hailey was still having lunch with them. How did she just... die like that?

“Perhaps she felt shameful and did not want to go overseas?“

Gwen sighed, “Hailey is a proud lady. She would not be able to withstand such humiliation.“

Luna thought it was unbelievable.

In the dining room a moment ago, Hailey seemed to have accepted Old Mr. Walter's arrangement. She even went up to pack her bags, why so suddenly...

Hailey's memorial service was done in a simple manner. It did not feel in line with the amount of grief Old Mr. Walter felt of losing his beloved daughter.

The Walters explained that because this happened

too suddenly and it was also a little embarrassing, so they decided to do it in a simple manner.

Luna followed Joshua and Alice to pay their respects. “How dare you still come! “

Upon seeing Luna, Old Mr. Walter's emotions erupted in rage. He reached out and pointed at Luna's face angrily.

“If it were not for you, my daughter would not have jumped! Luna, you owe the Walters a life! “

Luna lowered her head. “My deepest condolences.“

Although she did not think that she was wrong in this matter, the dead deserved some respect. She was not willing to have a head-on confrontation with Old Mr. Walter at Hailey's memorial service.

“Condolences? How could I possibly accept them from you! “

Old Mr. Walter glared at Luna angrily. “What Hailey did to you was just a small matter! How dare you get Joshua to make things difficult for her, forcing me to send her out of the country.“

In a full-blown rage, Old Mr. Walter shrugged off his servants who were supporting him. He immediately rushed to Luna and grabbed her by her shirt's collar, shaking her violently.

“She jumped because she was not willing to go out of the country. She found it humiliating! Why

couldn't you just bear with whatever she did? If you would have bear through it, she would not have died! You killed her! “

Luna was shaken by Old Mr. Walter. She was dizzy. Deep down in her heart, she was telling herself to not be petty with a grieving old man.

However, the nonsense he was saying made Luna infuriated time and again.

What did he mean that if she were to bear it, Hailey would not have died?

If she were to bear it, she would have died herself! Just because Hailey was weak, why was she to be blamed?

Seeing how Luna had no response, Old Mr. Walter got even more aggravated.

He angrily raised his hand and slapped Luna fiercely.

“Uncle Dennis, that is enough. “ Just when Old Mr. Walter's hand was almost by Luna's face, Joshua calmly stepped forward and immediately grabbed Old Mr. Walter's hand.

“We are all very sorry for Hailey's death, but how much this has to do with Luna, I'm sure you are clear about it too. In other words, just because you didn't look after your daughter, how could you blame Luna for that?

Then, Joshua flung Old Mr. Walter's hand away. “ But, I do remember something. Before Hailey's death, she called me. She said she wanted to tell me something, but she was interrupted by you, Uncle Dennis. “According to the time of her death and her call with me, she jumped down in less than ten minutes after the call with me. What happened in between?“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 417

Old Mr. Walter's face instantly turned terribly pale. Alice's expressions did not look too good either.

After a while, Old Mr. Walter wiped away his tears. “ Joshua, what do you mean by that? Do you think I would hurt my own daughter?“

Joshua's gaze was flat. “I said nothing of those sorts. I only want to know, since before Hailey jumped, you saw her and talked to her. As her father, did you notice her mood swings? Or perhaps you didn't even notice her emotions?“

Old Mr. Walter's expressions turned uglier upon Joshua's words.

“W-What... what are you trying to say?“

“What I mean is,“ Joshua smiled and said, “Hailey's mental health is too weak. Perhaps you did not pay attention to her mental well-being. The last person Hailey saw before she jumped was you, Uncle Dennis. That meant that you were the only possible person to stop her from jumping. You can't blame anyone else.“

Joshua smiled aloofly. “That's all I want to say. We are here to pay our respects. Not argue with each other.“

Then, under the stunned gaze of everybody, Joshua turned around and pulled Luna away.

Watching the both of them leaving, Old Mr. Walter gritted his teeth hard.

No wonder Alice treated Luna as her main rival. Joshua's favoritism toward her was too obvious.

At that thought, he turned to look at Alice, who was nearby.

Alice inconspicuously shook her head at him. Then, she smiled and approached him.

“Uncle Dennis, don't be angry at Joshua. He is just trying to protect his staff.“

Joshua dragged Luna out of the memorial service and directly into the car.

In the backseat, Joshua closed the car door and furrowed his brows tightly.

“I 'm sorry. “ Luna moved her body toward the car door a little. “I was just quite shocked that a person suddenly died, so I followed you to pay my respects. I never would have thought...“

“It's not your fault.“

Before Luna could finish her sentence, Joshua calmly interrupted. “Hailey's death is not that simple.“

Luna paused a little. She subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at him. “What do you mean?“

Joshua swept her a glance. “As I said just now, Hailey called me before she died. She said that she had something important to tell me, but before she could tell me, Old Mr. Walter interrupted her. Then, she hung up the phone. At first, I thought that they were putting on an act, they wanted to let Hailey stay in Sea City. I never would have thought...“

Joshua's eyes narrowed a little. “The Walters are hiding something from us. I deliberately mentioned the call to Old Mr. Walter. If Hailey's death had nothing to do with the call, he would not have avoided it.“

Luna was so stunned she was rendered speechless.

After a while, she turned and looked out of the window. “Perhaps, you are just overthinking this? No one would... kill their own daughter. No matter what their children do, a parent would not be able to kill their own flesh and blood.“

Perhaps, Luna might not understand the feeling a parent has for their children previously, but after giving birth to Nigel, Neil, and Nellie, she was sure that no parents on this earth would be that cruel.

Joshua smiled. He looked at her mockingly. “You've never had any children, how would you know that parents would not be able to kill their own children?“

Luna furrowed her brows. She instinctively retorted, “How would you know whether I had children or not? I...“

She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly remembered her current identity.

Thus, Luna cleared her throat and turned her head aside. “It's true. I never had any children.“

Joshua squinted his eyes and looked at her suspiciously for a long time at her reaction.

After a while, Joshua sneered, “There might be another possibility.“

”What is it?”

”This might not be the real Hailey Walter.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 418

Luna's eyes widened. She looked at him confusedly. “ What do you mean?“

“What I mean is,“ Joshua squinted his eyes and said, “The person who died was just an imposter. The real Hailey Walter is still out there somewhere. This woman is totally different from the Hailey I knew, so much so that she seems like an entirely different person altogether.“

Not only her looks. Her character too.

Hailey back then would treat Luna Gibson as her rival. Every time she saw Luna Gibson, her eyes would be filled with loathing and resentment.

However, this time, Hailey and Alice became friends. Even much closer than Gwen, who was once Luna's best friend.

Luna furrowed her brows. “If the one that just died was not the real Hailey, then... where is the real Hailey? Why is she hiding?“

Joshua frowned hard at her question.

After a while, he furrowed his brows and looked at Luna. “I 'll investigate this, but I brought you here because I need you to do something.“

Luna calmed herself down, turned over, and looked a t Joshua. “What is it?“

Joshua passed her some documents.

“Lynch Group's database is under attack by a foreign hacker. The Quinn Group is taking advantage of this, attacking us too. The Lynch Group is being attacked from all sides.“

Luna paused a little. She picked up the documents and flipped through them. It was a risk assessment report.

Although she could not understand the tactics that the hacker and Quinn Group were using, but...

The amount of loss Lynch Group incurred made her stunned. She almost dropped the documents in her hand.

“I deduce that the hacker should be the one that has been always helping you.“

Luna's face turned pale. He meant Nigel. “Malcolm took advantage of this situation. The Lynch Group suffered a huge blow because of him.“

Luna's hand trembled a little. Malcolm listened to Nigel the most.

So…

Luna slapped her forehead. “If I said that I didn't know about these two things, would you believe me?“

“Now you know about them. “ Joshua swept her an indifferent glance. “I'm giving you the opportunity to get them to stop. If not, when I return to Banyan City tomorrow, they wouldn't be so smug anymore. I have the ability to do it.“

Joshua was not sitting at Lynch Group at that moment, there were many problems he could not handle personally. That was why they had the chance to attack.

Luna rubbed the middle of her brows.

At that moment, it was seemingly impossible to say that those things had nothing to do with her.

Luna sighed, “Okay.“

For the past few days, she had been busy on her business trip in Sea City. She forgot to keep in touch with her three children.

How dare those three brats create such a huge mess while she was not paying attention to them!

“Uncle Theo told Nigel that you were bullied, that was why we did it.“

The first thing Luna did when she returned to the hotel was to call Neil. Neil, on the other end of the line, said with bravado, “Since that scumbag Joshua brought you on the business trip, he should be taking good care of you. Not only did you encounter so many dangerous situations, but you also almost lost your life. We had to teach him a lesson.“

Luna rubbed the middle of her brows. “Get Uncle Malcolm to stop immediately.“

The Quinn Group and the Lynch Group were always in a stand-off, but due to their greatness, they

usually only have minimal friction with each other.

In this sort of large-scale battle between them, although Malcolm had the upper hand, it was impossible for him to come out of it unscathed.

Malcolm had already sacrificed a lot for her. She did not want Malcolm to affect the Quinn Group's business because of her.

“Uncle Malcolm won't listen to me." Neil pursed his lips. “Mommy, do you still remember Aura? Once Aura was sent out of the country, I got Uncle Malcolm to help teach her a lesson. Guess what he found out? He found out that Aura is being protected by someone strong. That person works for the Lynch family!"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 419

Luna's heart sank to the bottom.

The people that were protecting Aura were people from the Lynch family.

Back then, Aura had tried to harm Neil and Nellie many times.

If it were not for Neil sacrificing himself and going along with Aura, they would not have been able to gather evidence of Aura trying to harm them.

Joshua knew all about this.

However, on the surface, he wanted Aura to pay the price, but actually, he secretly sent men to protect her?

Luna felt a little dizzy.

This...

“So, Mommy, Uncle Malcolm would go up against that scumbag Joshua not only because of you being bullied in Sea City. He also wants to seek justice for Nellie and me.“

Luna bit her lips.

Joshua's words in the car a moment ago rang in her ears.

“I'm giving you the opportunity to get them to stop. If not, when I return to Banyan City tomorrow, they wouldn't be so smug anymore. I have the ability to do it.“

Luna truly believed that Joshua has the skills to do it too.

She has witnessed firsthand his tactics and methods.

After exchanging a few more words with Neil, Luna took a deep breath and dialed Malcolm.

This was the first time she called Malcolm after Granny Lynch's birthday banquet.

She did not want him to get involved with her current affairs.

Back then, Malcolm rescued her up from the sea when she was heavily injured. He treated her and helped her give birth to her three children. He even paid for her cosmetic surgeries.

She owed Malcolm too much. Thus, she did not want to trouble Malcolm on the matter of finding a cure for Nigel.

She also did not want Malcolm to go up against Joshua in the business trading world because of her.

It was not that she did not believe in Malcolm's abilities. It was only that she has already owed Malcolm way too much.

Not long after, the call was picked up. “Luna, don't try to persuade me.“

Malcolm's voice on the other end of the call was frigid, “I have already made up my mind. This time, no matter what, I have to make Joshua pay. He has owed you and your kids too much. Since six years ago up till now. None of you have the power to make him pay, but I do.“

She bit her lips. “Malcolm, you can so easily let Joshua lose a few hundred million dollars because he is in Sea City right now. When he returns back to his base at Banyan City, you won't have it so easy. A few hundred million is enough of a punishment for him. Please hear me out. Stop this.“

Malcolm laughed, “You think I'm no match for Joshua Lynch? At most, we end up going down together. Even if I incur losses, Joshua would lose out even more.“

Luna rubbed the middle of her brows. “I know what you are angry about, but the incidents in Sea City were done by Hailey. Now that Hailey is dead, everything is settled. You should stop dwelling on it. As for the people protecting Aura overseas...“

Luna took a deep breath. “Can you send me all the information that proves those people are from the Lynch family? I will ask Joshua in person.“

Malcolm on the other end of the line was silent for a while.

After a while, he laughed bitterly, “Why do you still care so much about Joshua?“

Luna stopped breathing.

“Joshua is not as terrifying as you think, I am also not as weak as you think.“

“If you don't let me go up against him once head-o n, I will never be happy about it.“

“Malcolm. “ Luna took a deep breath. “I understand that you and Joshua had always been business rivals. If you want to go up against him, I have no issue with that, but you can't do it just because of me and my children. That is why, you can fight with him all you want in the future, but this time, please stop.

Just send me the evidence."

Then, Luna immediately hung up.

At the other end of the line, Malcolm closed his eyes depressingly, listening to the disconnected tone.

Six years.

It has been six years. He still could not get into her heart.

He was always an outsider to her. Malcolm closed his eyes and chuckled bitterly. In the end, he picked up his phone and dialed his secretary. “Stop the attack against the Lynch Group."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 420

In the evening, Luna received the information from Malcolm. It was detailed. It showed in detail the information of every single person who was protecting Aura.

Luna could recognize a few of them. She has even met some of them before.

They were indeed Joshua's men.

Her heart grew colder as she flipped through the documents.

All these men were once Joshua's cronies. How would these men dare to protect Aura without Joshua's orders?

At that thought, she switched off her computer, reached her hand out, and clutched her forehead.

She has already known Joshua for many years. She once thought that she knew him well.

Six years ago, the things that Joshua had done to her for Aura was a huge sudden blow to her, sending her to the pits of hell.

Six years later, once again, she thought she knew him. She returned to him, wanting to take something from him so that she could cure Nigel.

However, she realized that she still did not know him well enough. He was probably the only person that she could never fully understand in her life.

“Luna.“

Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. It was Gwen.

Luna shook her head, shrugging all the complicated thoughts away.

She was going to leave Sea City with Joshua the next day. Her business trip has come to an end.

After this, she did not know when she would be able to meet Gwen again. She should properly bid Gwen and Ben farewell.

She collected her emotions, got up, and followed Gwen out.

Because Ben's leg was injured, so the farewell celebration that night was only Gwen and Luna.

Gwen took Luna to the food stand that they used to frequent back in high school.

There were many people there that evening. It was rather lively.

Gwen poured some wine. She smiled at Luna bitterly. “You and I have been friends for so many years. I almost sold you out. I blame myself terribly. I will drink to you.“

Luna helplessly picked up her glass of fruit juice. “ Don't drink too much. Furthermore, you never sold me out. You were risking your father's life to help me, don't blame yourself.“

Gwen pursed her lips. She wanted to say something else but stopped herself.

She picked up her glass of wine and downed it in one go.

Actually, before the press conference that morning, she received Joshua's message that her father was safe. That was only why she dared to tell the truth of how Luna was not the mistress.

Also...

The incident where Hailey respectfully called Alice Ms. Hailey.

She still did not dare to tell Luna about that. Initially, she wanted to tell Luna, but Hailey's death that day was a huge blow to her.

If she were to tell Luna, would she be the next one to get killed?

At that thought, Gwen bit her lips hard. She raised her glass once more and downed the wine.

That meal, Gwen drank a lot.

Initially, Luna thought that Gwen was just sad because they were parting ways, but later on, she realized that Gwen seemed to have something on her mind.

“Luna. I'm sorry.“

On the way back, Gwen kept repeating this.

Luna helplessly hugged her. “What is there to be sorry about?“

“I have been keeping things from you.“ Gwen closed her eyes. She cried and laughed at the same time.

When Luna sent Gwen back to her house, at the entrance, the intoxicated Gwen turned around and stuffed a letter into Luna's hands.

“A... love letter from me. Open it when you're back in Banyan City."

Luna did not know whether to laugh or cry. She kept the letter and sent Gwen to the entrance of her house.

Once she made sure that Gwen had returned home, Luna let out a long sigh and got in the taxi.

“Your friend is very drunk, " The taxi driver chuckled lightly, “miss, the hotel that you're going to is quite far from here. If you're bored, you can sleep for a while. You look tired."

Luna shook her head. “I'm fine."

However, Luna did not know why the moment she said that, grogginess washed over her. She leaned back in the backseat dizzily and closed her eyes.

The taxi driver smiled maliciously and went the opposite direction from the hotel.
