Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 931

It was deep in the night.

The Blue Bay Villa was brightly lit. Almost all of the servants in the villa had been dismissed by Nellie and Lily. The only people left in the villa were Luna and the two children, Christian Moore, and Lily who was guarding the door.

"SO..."

Sitting on the sofa, Luna found it hard to believe her eyes and ears. “Fiona has evidence of you murdering a girl whom you killed by accident years ago?“

Christian sighed and nodded dispiritedly. “Yes. Back then, Fiona and I were a couple whom everyone in school envied, we used to be happy. The dead girl, Violet Lewis, was Fiona's roommate. She was from a happy family, her father was a businessman and her mother was a dancer. That's why she looked down on Fiona for being born an orphan and raised in the countryside.“

As he spoke, he unconsciously covered his face with his hand to hide his expression. “I did not kill Violet on purpose. That day Fiona said she was bullied by Violet, that Violet forced her to drink the dirty mush that she used to wash her feet, so I got mad. Then, Fiona and I asked to meet Violet on our school's rooftop. I pushed Violet around to avenge Fiona, while Fiona recorded us and the mess Violet was in so we could use it to threaten her to stop cursing at Fiona...“

Luna pursed her lips. “So Fiona recorded the moment when you accidentally pushed Violet off the roof?“

Christian nodded harshly.

“After Violet fell from the roof she was sent to the hospital, but they couldn't save her. Fiona made me team up with her and say that Violet was careless and fell off the roof herself. Plus, there were no CCTV cameras on the roof, so after detaining us for a week, the police released us because of a lack of evidence to prove murder. My mother was furious about this and forced me to break up with Fiona.

“I didn't see her again after that. The next time I met her, she was already my uncle's girlfriend.“

Luna closed her eyes. She never expected...that this was the reason why Christian helped Fiona.

“I saw that video of hers. The angle looked very weird, instead of pushing her down by accident, it looked more like I pushed her intentionally while she stood at the edge of the roof ready to commit suicide.“

Christian sighed, raised his head, and looked at Luna solemnly. “That's why I don't dare to expose her for faking her illness and also don't dare to...to disobey her, so I provided her with help and money. But I never meant to work together with her to harm you.“

Luna's heart skipped a beat at his words. A long while later, she sighed and said, “I misunderstood you.“

She thought...

“So Luna, what do you plan to do now?“

Now that he had finally gotten this awful secret off his chest, Christian felt as if the heavy burden had finally been lifted off his shoulders. He even started to ask Luna about her follow-up plans.

Luna shrugged. “I plan to wait for a good opportunity and leave Banyan City with Nellie and Nigel.“

But before she left, she had to see Aura and find out the identity of the boy who was with her. Whether he was just a boy who looked like Nigel and Neil or...

“But Mommy...“

A long after the words left Luna's mouth, Nellie who had been sitting beside them listening to the conversation amongst the adults with wide eyes pursed her lips and said, “I want to let Daddy know about the evil woman's true colors.“

Luna paused slightly at her daughter's words. She walked to the little girl and pulled her into a hug. “ Nellie, we talked about this, didn't we? From now on, everything your Daddy does has nothing to do with us, remember?“

The little girl bit her lip, blinked her big eyes, and looked at Luna timidly.

"But Mommy..."

She lowered her head.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 932

“But Daddy is still my biological Daddy after all... Since I came home, Daddy has always been nice to me. I want to do something for him before we leave...“

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Luna with solemn eyes, and said, “After all, after I leave Banyan City with you, he won't be our Daddy anymore, he'll just be a stranger.“

Luna paused at the little girl's words. After Nellie finished speaking, the room fell quiet instantly.

Nigel sat down on the sofa with his laptop in his arms and quietly glanced at Luna, then shifted his eyes to Nellie, and finally, his gaze landed on Christian.

“At the moment, you should be the one who's most desperate for Fiona's feigned illness to be exposed, right?“

Christian paused, then nodded and smiled wryly. “ I'm one of her biggest victims after all.“

As long as her feigned illness remained a secret, then he had to continue keeping her secret and continue being threatened by her.

Not only that, the most important point was...

Fiona had already cost him millions, trying to bribe others and get them to harm Luna. He nearly sold his sports car.

If Fiona's secret was exposed, then Joshua would definitely break things off with her. By then, Fiona

would have no right and opportunity to compete with Luna at all. So naturally, she would stop asking him for money and make life difficult for him.

Luna hugged Nellie and sighed heavily, then said, “ Nellie, I know you're a kind and filial child. But...“ She looked into the little girl's eyes solemnly. “ Joshua Lynch is not worth it."

Nellie could not help but pause at her mother's words.

“But Mommy...“

“Alright, that's enough.“ Luna ruffled the little girl's hair, the scene where she saw Joshua hugging Fiona on the roof of the hospital appearing before her eyes.

She sucked in a deep breath. “The fact that he got tricked is no one's business but his own. One is happy to deceive while the other is happy to be deceived, it has nothing to do with us outsiders. You and your brother should rest well, we'll leave after I settle everything here.“

With that, she did not continue listening to Nellie's opinion then stood up and turned to glance at Christian. “It's late, you should go home now.“

Christian was stunned. After telling Luna all this information and added together with the fact that Nellie wanted to help Joshua, he thought Luna would at least consider helping him.

But he never expected...that she would flatly reject Nellie's request to help Joshua.

He paused. “You...truly don't plan to expose Joshua to Fiona's true colors?"

“No." She stood up and pushed the door to the villa open. “He has nothing to do with me now, if I choose to help him, it's out of the kindness of my heart, but if I don't, it's my right not to do so.

Goodbye! " With that one last word, she slammed the door shut with a bang.

Christian stood outside the door, looked at the tightly shut metal gate, and sighed. A woman could be loo times more ruthless than a man when she wanted to.

He turned and was about to head for his own car when a black Masevati slid to a stop in front of him. The car window rolled down and Joshua's well- defined features were exposed.

“Get in," he ordered.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 933

Christian climbed into the passenger seat of Joshua's car with a racing heart.

“Uncle Joshua, please let me explain...“

The moment he entered the car, the depressing atmosphere made him purse his lips unconsciously. He opened his mouth anxiously and said, “It's not what you think! I didn't come here so late at night for that! I came here to...to bid...goodbye to Luna and the two children! “

Christian finally found a suitable excuse and explanation after stuttering for a long while.

“That's right, I came here to bid them goodbye! Because Luna said that she'll be leaving Banyan City with the children after the competition. I knew I wouldn't be seeing her again for the rest of my life after she leaves, so...I came to bid them farewell.“

The air that radiated from the man sitting in the backseat turned colder and colder, heavier and heavier.

Christian could not help but shiver. He cleared his throat. “Joshua, I really just came here to bid them goodbye...I...“

Joshua turned and looked out the window. In the Blue Bay Villa, the lights in the living room were extinguished and the window to the children's room upstairs lit up.

From a distance, he could even see Luna's figure holding Nellie in one arm and Nigel's hand in the other as she led the two children into the room.

His eyes darkened slightly as he said slowly, his voice hoarse, “When are they leaving?“

“I really just came here to bid them goodbye, nothing else...huh?“

Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of danger and coldness seeping into his deep voice. “I'm asking you, when are they leaving?“

Christian was stunned. He never expected that Joshua would not lose his temper at him but instead would ask him such a seemingly inconsequential question. But answering this question was obviously easier than explaining the relationship between Luna and himself.

He hurriedly coughed and answered, “Luna said...she still has some matters to resolve with Bonnie.

They'll leave after the issues are settled, I don't think it'll take a long time, a week at most.“

Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly.

A week's time... He remembered how he treated Luna when they were on the hospital rooftop...and how he left her all alone on the rooftop because he was worried about Fiona...

He sighed; his voice so low that it could barely be heard. He was such a jerk. He knew they did not have much time to spend together, but still, he always

lost control of his emotions and ended up doing things that hurt her.

“Uncle Joshua.“

Seeing Joshua immersed in his thoughts, Christian sighed and piled a smile on his face as he looked at Joshua sitting in the backseat through the rear-view mirror. ”I know you definitely don't want to leave Luna and the two kids. Let's do this then, in the remaining few days, as long as you need my help, I'll bend over backward to help you.”

Joshua recovered himself and glanced faintly at the man sitting in the passenger seat. ”You were in the Blue Bay Villa for two whole hours. You must have talked about more than just bidding each other goodbye, right?”

Christian paused. ”We did...talk about other matters.” Joshua looked at him with cold eyes.

This man's aura was too strong. Even if he did not say a single word, Christian still felt as if there was a huge mountain pressing down on him from above. Under the cold, dominating pressure that was as stifling as Mount Everest, Christian licked his lips. ” We also talked...about Fiona.”

Joshua narrowed his eyes. ”What about her?”

Christian's palms were drenched in sweat. But still, he mustered his courage and opened his mouth. ” Luna said she knew that Fiona has a terminal illness, but she thinks Fiona is just faking it, so she wants to investigate whether Fiona is indeed terminally ill. As a...as a way of repaying you for your help during this past month or so.”

After finishing his little speech, Christian could obviously feel his shirt sticking to his body, drenched in nervous, cold sweat. This was not his first time telling a lie, but it was the most stressful lie he had ever told.

Joshua narrowed his eyes at the other man's words and swept his eyes at him dangerously. “Luna really said that?”

Christian nodded, his voice was slightly hoarse from his nerves. “Yes...I told you, Luna said she still has some issues to deal with, she'll leave after these matters are resolved. The  thing she needs to do is..."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 934

“Is investigating Fiona to find out whether she feigned her illness or not.“

Joshua glanced at Christian suspiciously, then turned and glanced in the direction of the Blue Bay Direction.

The lights in the children's room were now switched off. At that moment, the entire villa was dark, with the only light coming from Luna's brightly-lit bedroom.

From the figure in the window, she seemed to be sitting in front of her desk with her head bowed, typing into her laptop.

He sighed lowly, in a barely audible tone.

This silly woman. He had treated her like this but still, she wanted to do something for him before leaving the city. Even though he felt warmed deep down, his expression remained cold.

“What did you say when Luna told you she wanted to investigate Fiona?“

“I said...if she should go on if she wanted to investigate.“

He turned and leaned back lazily on the leather seat of the car, a cold smile hanging from his lips. “ Nonsense. You and Fiona were classmates when you were both studying abroad, she had already been terminally ill back then. You would know best whether she was feigning her illness, wouldn't you?“

Christian bit his lip. “Ye...yes.“

Back then when Fiona was studying abroad, it was true that she had been admitted into the hospital many times for emotional instability. But back then, the doctor said that her emotional instability and sickness were more of a psychological effect.

In other words, once Fiona felt that she should be sick now, then her body would react accordingly and her symptoms would manifest.

In short, she was very experienced at feigning her illness. Seeing as she put so much effort into faking it, the doctor did not expose her ruse on the spot.

Later, he broke up with Fiona and by the time he saw her again, this disease of hers had turned into a terminal illness. Plus, her illness was diagnosed by a team of top international medical experts, and it was finally determined to be a terminal illness with a remaining life span of less than a year.

He did not know how Fiona managed to convince the team of top international medical experts to lie on her behalf, but he knew she held his secret in her hands so he had no choice but to play along with her ruse.

Joshua who was seated in the backseat read the panic in the other man's eyes. He narrowed his own eyes and asked, “Why are you so nervous?“

Christian bit his lip and quietly wiped at the sweat on his forehead.

“Because...because to make Luna stay in Banyan City for a while longer and you give the two of you more time to spend together... So I lied to Luna, I said I didn't know whether Fiona was feigning her illness. I wanted her to continue investigating.“

He morphed his features into a look of timid fear. “ Uncle Joshua, you wouldn't stop injecting capital into my money because I lied to Luna, would you?“

Joshua side-eyed him coldly.  “What do you think?“

Even though Christian was wrong in lying...but if he immediately refuted Luna's claim that Fiona was pretending to be ill, then would Luna choose to leave the city immediately?

Joshua closed his eyes and opened his mouth and said coldly, “Get out, I won't change my mind about investing in your company.“

Christian was startled, nodded quickly, and jumped out of the car in a hurry. “Thank you, Uncle Joshua! “ With that, he ran back to his own car and drove away in a puff of smoke.

After Christian left, Lucas, who was seated in the driver's seat, frowned and asked, “Sir, are we heading back?“

Joshua raised his hand and massaged between his eyebrows. “Yeah.“

As Lucas started the engine, he lowered his voice and asked, “Is Luna really going to investigate Ms. Blake?“

“I don't know.“ Joshua closed his eyes. “But remind the hospital to seal Fiona's medical records, mouths that should remain shut must remain shut.“

Lucas was startled. “That way, Luna won't be able to investigate whether Ms. Blake is really..."

Before he could finish, Joshua interrupted him coldly. “So? You heard him, once she finds her answer she'll leave. So you think she should find out immediately and leave the city immediately?"

Lucas was startled and shook his head quickly. "No, no, I didn't mean that!" Then he shut up immediately, not daring to say a further word.

Joshua closed his eyes and leaned back into the seat, sighing in a low voice that was barely audible.

He knew very well that farewell was inevitable. But...he would try his best to make her stay as long as possible.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 935

“Even if you want to thank me, you didn't have to call me out this early in the morning, right?“

At the break of dawn, Bonnie sat in the coffee shop owned by her family, yawning continuously. She sipped on her coffee, her eyes blurred, complaining to Luna in a low voice.

Sitting in front of her, Luna smiled faintly. “Of course I'm not asking you out just to thank you.“ She found the photo Joey Charles sent to her the other day and handed it to Bonnie. “Look.“

Bonnie frowned and took the phone, then, her eyes widened immediately. “Isn't this Aura Gibson?“

To investigate her brother, Jason's disappearance, Bonnie had been conducting follow-up reports on Aura for a long time. In the end, she was even tricked by Aura and stayed in the psychiatric hospital for a long time instead of Aura.

But...

Joshua sent Aura abroad in the name of furthering her studies and forbade her from returning to Banyan City, right? So why was the photo of Aura taken at the airport in Banyan City?

And.

Why did the little boy whose hand she was holding look exactly like her two sons?!

“Joey gave this to me yesterday. This boy arrived in Banyan City on the same flight as him, Aura picked him up outside the airport. The photo was taken two days ago, and I asked Nigel to check all the CCTV cameras of all flights and trains that left Banyan City during the last two days and any other exits leading out of the city. There were no signs of Aura and the boy leaving the city.“

Bonnie paused. “That means...the two of them are still in Banyan City?“

Luna nodded silently. “Yes.“ She sucked in a deep breath. “I hope you can help me find them.“

Initially, when she first received the photo, the first person she thought about was Joshua. She went to him immediately too. After all, Aura and Joshua were intricately involved, and the kid in her hands looked exactly like the children she herself shared with him.

But...

“Then what if she uses the kid as an excuse and tries to approach you?“

“She can take care of the child's issues by herself, I won't interfere.“

Unconsciously, Joshua's conversation with Fiona yesterday rang in her ears again. Luna closed her eyes and heaved out a long sigh.

Joshua was right. She could take care of the child's issues by herself. To him now, even Nigel and Nellie were out of his zone of concern, let alone this child who only looks like Nigel?

However, it was impossible to find a needle in a haystack in a big city like Banyan City by relying on Nigel, Nellie, and herself. Since Joshua did not care,

she could only seek out Bonnie's help.

“Even if you didn't ask, I would help you after I saw this photo.“ Bonnie sucked in a deep breath, raised her eyes, and looked at Luna solemnly. “If you didn't help me back then, I would either be tricked out of all my money by Jason and get murdered or be killed by him in front of his wife and child. Luna, without you, I wouldn't be here right now.“

Luna's heart warmed to hear her friend's words. She lowered her head. “I already owe you so much.“

When Nigel needed money for his surgery, and the incident that happened later on, and how she purposely flew back to Banyan City yesterday just to help her at the competition...

At the thought of how Bonnie helped her yesterday, Luna could not help but raise her head and glance at her. “I always wanted to ask, the...evidence you produced at the competition yesterday, when did you get it?“

Bonnie exclaimed softly, then frowned and glanced at Luna. “Weren't you the one who gave me the evidence?“

Hearing the other woman's words, Luna was stunned for a few seconds.

“Me?“

Before Bonnie produced the evidence, Luna had no idea at all that Fiona had been getting up to all her little tricks behind her back.

How could she have been the one to give all those videos and photos to Bonnie?

”It's not you?” Bonnie looked at Luna with confusion written all across her features. ”I received an email two days ago asking me to be present in Banyan City on the day of the competition and bring this evidence there and help you turn the tide.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 936

She took out her phone as she spoke. “The things I said when I went to the competition yesterday were all provided for in the email. The sender was so careful, if not you, who else could it be? All I did was take out what you gave me, and recited the script you prepared then exaggerated with a few sentences of my own.“

As she spoke, she tapped her mailbox open. There were two emails lying in her inbox. One of them contained all the videos and photographs, the other was a long, anonymous letter.

Luna took the phone in shock and read through the contents of the email.

Not only did the sender send the emails to Bonnie anonymously, he even analyzed and predicted what happened yesterday.

The sender knew Luna very well. Besides knowing how much effort she poured into the competition, the sender even knew that Fiona would use the rumors floating around online about Luna's poor personality to attack her.

That's why the sender informed Bonnie of all the appropriate responses and asked her to arrive at the competition venue ahead of time, hide outside and appear when the timing was right.

After reading through both emails, Luna was dumbfounded.

Who sent these anonymous letters?

She was not aware of these pieces of evidence at all, neither did she send the emails to Bonnie!

Looking at Luna's shocked expression, Bonnie frowned. “It's really not from you?“

When Bonnie received the emails, she was also very confused about the identity of the sender. After pondering the issue from all possible angles, she felt that the emails must have come from Luna.

Otherwise, who else in Banyan City would be so attentive and serious about Luna's affairs?

Could it be Joshua?

That was impossible. These pieces of evidence would hurt his beloved Fiona, the woman he cared about the most!

“It really isn't me.“ Luna closed her eyes and pondered about the issue for a long time but still had no idea who would do this for her.

So, with no other plan, she could only open all the attachments in the emails one by one, trying to detect any slight clue as to the sender's identity

from the evidence he sent to Bonnie. Finally...

Her roaming eyes fixed on the photo that served as proof of Fiona's burn wounds. She seemed to have seen this photo before. Suddenly, her eyes brightened!

This photo was the one that the doctor who treated Joshua's burn wounds showed her and Joshua the day Joshua was injured.

At this thought, she hurriedly saved the photo and stood up. “Bonnie, I remembered something, I need t o confirm it.“

As long as she found the doctor and asked him which other doctor besides him had this picture, she might be able to find the person who sent the emails to Bonnie.

She rushed onto the streets and hailed a taxi, rushing to that same hospital at the fastest speed possible and located that doctor.

The doctor was surprised to hear her question but still smiled and answered, “I treated this patient, I a m the only one who has these pictures.“

Luna was startled.

“Then...the people who have seen this photo...“

“There's no one else besides you and Mr. Lynch. “ The doctor pushed his thick-framed glasses up the bridge of his nose. “But after the two of you left that day, Mr. Lynch came back and told me he needed the photo for something else. He asked me to inform the patient and bought the photo at a high price. You can't see them now even if you want to.“

Luna's body turned stiff at the doctor's words.

The photo... Besides the doctor and the patient himself, Joshua and Luna herself were the only people who had ever seen this photo.

That meant...

A ridiculous thought surfaced in her mind. The anonymous person who sent the emails to Bonnie and asked Bonnie to help Luna fight against Fiona...

Could it be Joshua?

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 937

Walking out of the hospital, Luna felt as if her entire mind and body were befuddled and confused.

No matter how long she thought about it, she failed to figure it out.

If she and Joshua were really the only ones who had seen this photo and Joshua bought it in the end, then even if the person who sent the email to Bonnie was not Joshua, he would at least know about it.

But if the sender was indeed Joshua... Then what was his aim?

These documents and pieces of evidence were unfavorable to Fiona. He loved her so much, was even willing to accompany her through her final days, then why would he embarrass her in public like that yesterday?

Luna was thoroughly puzzled.

Back at the Blue Bay Villa, she contemplated the issue for a long while and in the end, told Nigel about the emails. She also sent him the sender's email address.

The little guy immediately understood what she meant. He blinked his big eyes. “Mommy, do you want me to find out the address of the person who sent the emails to Aunt Bonnie, right?“

Luna paused, then nodded.

This was too strange, she had to figure out who was this person who sent emails to Bonnie behind her back asking Bonnie to help her.

Nigel pursed his lips and quietly took out his laptop and custom -made keyboard. The little guy's fingers flew lightly across the keys.

Luna sat on the sofa, looking at her son tapping away on the keyboard. Somehow, she was reminded of Joshua.

All those years ago when she and Joshua just got married, Joshua loved to sit on the sofa in the living room and work on his laptop. His fingers were long and well-defined. Luna was once so mesmerized by the sight of these hands tapping away at the keyboard that she could not take her eyes off of him.

Later, she lay beside him, resting her cheeks in her hands, and said to him, "With the way you're tapping the keyboard, it's a pity you didn't become a hacker. I think hackers are particularly cool! “

Back then, Joshua was immersed in his work, he looked at her in disgust and said, “What is so cool about programmers?“

Luna could do nothing but roll her eyes at him silently, then proceeded to explain to him the difference between a programmer and a hacker, persuading him to learn how to be a hacker if he had free time.

She tried her best to explain and persuade him for so long, but in the end, all she got in return was one simple word.

“Boring.“

Back then, Luna did not know whether he had agreed or not, and could only follow him around, wanting to get a direct answer from him.

But later on...

Even after she was tricked, changed her identity from Luna Gibson to Luna, and both her looks and even her voice transformed completely, she had yet to see the day when he turned himself into a hacker for her.

Only after she returned to Banyan City with Nellie and Neil and returned to his side once more did she find out coincidentally that he was always a computer expert, a top hacker.

He never thought hackers were not cool, nor did he reject his status and identity as a hacker.

He simply disliked, and rejected her.

At this thought, Luna raised her head again, looked a t Nigel's serious expression as he tapped away at the keyboard, and could not help but smile slightly.

Luckily her son did not disappoint her. Since Joshua did not want to be her cool, handsome hacker, Nigel could take his place. Even though he inherited that evil man's genes, he was her son after all, her source of pride.

Right when she was staring at him in a daze, the little guy who kept hard at work tapping at the keyboard sucked in a deep breath and announced, “

I'm done! “

He keyed in the last code, pressed the 'Enter' key, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 938

“Very soon we'll be able to determine the location from which this email address sent its last email! “

Luna was startled and hurriedly poked her head over to her son. Looking at the swirly numbers and codes on the screen, she pursed her lips and had no choice but to retract her gaze, instead, choosing to quietly stare at Nigel's answer.

But she...could not make any sense of it.

Seeing her curious yet confused look, Nigel could not help but cover his mouth with his hand and laugh. “ Mommy, people specialize in different professions, both you and Nellie are designers, it's normal that you don't know this! If you're good at everything, then I would be of no help to you! “

As he spoke, the little guy frowned and glanced at the address on the computer screen. “The Smith Group... Where is that?“

Luna was completely startled.

“You're saying, the email address that sent the emails to Bonnie was last logged in at the Smith Group?“

“Yes.“ Nigel nodded solemnly. “Not only was it last logged in at the Smith Group, when the emails were sent to Aunt Bonnie, its IP address also indicated the Smith Group. And the sender set a lot of settings, without a high level of technical skill, you would not be able to locate the Smith Group at all. I used every skill that I learned and finally cracked it.“

Then, he blinked his big eyes and looked at Luna. ”So Mommy, the person who sent the emails to Aunt Bonnie to help you, is Uncle Jude?”

Luna frowned and unconsciously massaged between her eyebrows. How could it be Jude? The thought that Jude would help was even more preposterous than Joshua helping her.

At least she and Joshua had a past together six years ago. But she and Jude... Even six years ago , they were not close to each other at all. And now six years later, even though she came in touch with him several times, but almost every single time, he acted as Joshua's advocate and tried to trick her into reconciling with Joshua.

How come this time , not only did he not stand on Joshua's side, he would even secretly go behind the scenes and help her?

”I think you should ask Uncle Jude about this face-to-face.”

When Luna was wracking her brains trying to figure out the answer, Nigel who was sitting beside her opened his mouth quietly and said, ”If Uncle Jude isn't the one who helped you, you should ask him who it is. If it is him, then you can ask him what he would like in return. After all, the emails he sent to Aunt Bonnie not only helped your team achieve its win, they also preserved your name and character, destroying all the malignant rumors about you floating around on the internet.”

The little guy's words made Luna purse her lips. A long while later , she stood up. ”You're right.”

She should go to Jude and ask him about this. She would never get her answer if she sat around here all alone stewing in her thoughts.

The Smith Group.

Jude Smith sat in the president's office, calling Joshua with a melancholic expression on his face. “My staff reported a breach in my company's firewall. The intruder used a series of skills and finally located my computer, after obtaining the information about my IP address, he ended his attack. Joshua, what were you doing on my computer a few days ago?"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 939

When Luna rushed to Jude's company, his secretary stopped her.

“I'm sorry, Ms. Luna, Mr. Smith is not here.“

Luna narrowed her eyes slightly. She lowered her eyes and took a glimpse of the time. It was past 9 a.m. in the morning, normal working hours. Besides, today was Monday, where could he be if he was not in his office?

Right when Luna was wondering about Jude's whereabouts, an executive of the Smith Group arrived outside of the office.

“Secretary Colleen, President Smith called me, he asked me to come over and report to him, he...“

The executive's words were interrupted by the secretary. "Director Smith is not here now."

The executive frowned. "But President Smith just called me half an hour ago. Besides, I just saw President Smith's car downstairs, he should still be in the company, right?“

The secretary grew anxious, gesturing at the executive with her eyes and guarding against Luna at the same time. “President Smith just left...“

The executive was surprised, then finally understood the secretary's frantic body language. He coughed lightly and said, “Alright, I understand. “ Then he turned and left.

After the executive left, the secretary finally breathed out a long sigh of relief and turned to Luna with a smile on her face. “Ms. Luna, President Smith is...“

“He's still in his office, right?“

Luna lifted her lips in a cold smile and pushed the door open, ignoring the secretary's protests.

The office was empty, without a single soul in sight.

The secretary hurriedly rushed forward and stopped Luna. “Ms. Luna, I told you, President Smith is not here, he...“

Luna narrowed her eyes, took out her phone, and dialed Jude's number. His phone was switched off.

How could the president of a company switch off his phone on a working day?

She scoffed and realized he was hiding from her. So, she raised her legs and sat down on the sofa in his office.

“I know Jude is not here, I'll wait for him here. Is that okay?“

The secretary was out of options, she could only sigh and poured Luna a cup of tea, standing beside her quietly, making sure she did not wander around the office.

Luna leaned back into the sofa calmly, drinking her tea as she fiddled with her phone. She was sending a text to Nigel.

“The firewall of Uncle Jude's company has been re - encrypted, it's not so easy to hack through it now.“

Luna sat on the sofa, quietly reading the message Nigel sent to her on her phone.

She narrowed her eyes silently. Nigel's hacking skills were top-notch. Someone who could immediately re-encrypt the firewall after Nigel hacked through it, and he did such a good job that Nigel could not break through...

This hacker that helped Jude, could not possibly be Joshua, right?

Jude was hiding from her, he must be afraid she would find out the emails he sent to Bonnie. Then why did Joshua help Jude?

She sucked in a deep breath, and felt as if the boulder pressing on her chest had just become heavier.

At that moment, her phone rang. “Mommy, wait a moment, I'll try my luck at Uncle Jude's phone signal. Even though it's switched off, I secretly planted a virus in both his and Mr. Lynch's phones. Even though Mr. Lynch noticed it and deleted the virus, Uncle Jude did not. I'll try to switch on his phone.“

Reading Nigel's text, Luna burst out laughing. “Why did you secretly plan a virus in their phones?“

“I was worried they would do something unfavorable to you! Protecting Mommy is my duty a s your son! Alright, his phone is on now! “

With the message that Nigel sent, a ping indicating that a phone was switched on came from within the wall behind her.

Luna frowned and dialed Jude's number as she walked in the direction of the wall. The music got louder and louder. Finally, Luna found the hidden door on the wall and opened it.

Jude stood within the hidden door, drenched in sweat from head to toe. Seeing Luna open the door, he smiled in embarrassment and stretched out his hand to greet her.

“Hi..."

Luna laughed at his appearance,  “Come on, get out of there."

Jude closed his eyes and sighed.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 940

He should have taken Joshua's advice and escaped through the back door! During their call just now, Joshua asked him to run away, but as the President of the Smith Group, it would be too much of an embarrassment if he ran away as soon as Luna came calling. He thought she would never find him as long as he hid behind the hidden door in his office. But he underestimated Luna and her son's abilities!

His phone was switched off, but somehow it switched on all by itself and started playing music.

What's more, no matter how hard he tried to switch it off, he failed!

At this thought, Jude could not help but smile at Luna while he muttered to himself, “Nigel was indeed Joshua's son... Not only his hacking skills, but even his two -facedness was also exactly the same as Joshua's...“

“Why are you hiding from me, Mr. Smith?“

After sitting down with Jude on the sofa, Luna did not want to waste any time on pleasantries and went straight to the point. Since Jude was already avoiding her, that proved he knew the reason for her visit.

At this thought, she curled her lips in a smile and looked at the man in front of her with faint, indifferent eyes. “In my memory, you're not a kind philanthropist who does good deeds without leaving your name behind. Why did you help me, and still hide from me?“

Jude raised his teacup and took a light sip to calm himself down. Then, he opened his mouth awkwardly and said, “Because...“ He sucked in a deep breath. “Because the past few times that I tried to convince you to reconcile with Joshua ended up in you getting hurt. So I felt guilty and wanted to do something for you in return before you left Banyan City.“

After his little confession, he looked at her carefully and asked, “Are you satisfied with this reason?“ '

Luna did not answer him. She took out the documents she prepared beforehand and handed the picture of Fiona's burn wound to Jude.

“Where did this photo come from?“

Jude looked at the photo and was quiet for a long time, then he finally opened his mouth tentatively and said, “From the internet?“

Joshua must have found this photo of a burn wound online, right?

Luna lifted her lips in a smile. “It seems like your memory is failing you, Mr. Smith. You bought this photo from the doctor at the burn unit at West City Hospital.“

Jude paused, his eyes filled with shock and surprise. Joshua bought such a frightful photograph? Why would he spend money on a frightful photograph like this?

Luna quietly read all of his reactions. She narrowed her eyes and continued saying, “Mr. Smith, do you remember how much you paid for this photo?“

Jude remained silent for a long while and finally opened his mouth tentatively and asked, “5000?“

“It's 20,000.“ Luna sucked in a deep breath, raised her eyes, and glanced at him coldly. “Didn't Joshua tell you?“

“No, we... “ Jude finally realized his mistake in the middle of his sentence and hurriedly denied it by saying, “I did all of this by myself, this has nothing to do with Joshua with all...“

“That's enough, Mr. Smith. Please stop pretending.“ Luna rubbed the middle of her eyebrows. Even though before coming here, she knew it was more likely that Joshua was the one who sent the emails to Bonnie. But still, she was not 100% certain.

Now, judging from Jude's reactions, she was almost sure it was Joshua who sent the emails to Bonnie.

She closed her eyes and remained silent for a long period of time before opening her eyes again and looked at Jude, her gaze deep and heavy. “Tell me, why did he send those emails, why did he help me? “

Jude bit his lip, lost for words for a moment. Finally, the man sighed, "You have to ask him yourself." Luna breathed out, then pushed Jude's cell phone in front of him. “Call him now and ask, I'll listen."
