Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy by Inked Snow Chapter 1694
Jim strode into the lobby and frowned, glancing at the hallway as he signed the visitation forms to visit Luna. ” Why are they crying so early in the morning?”
The policeman let out a sigh and replied in a low voice, ” They’re the family members of the murder victim which your sister is involved in, and they just got in this morning.
“I hear that she was the only child and had always been the pride of the family. Both her parents are old now and no longer in the best health. Who would’ve thought that…”
The policeman sighed again. “What a pity.”
Jim’s hand, which was holding the pen, stiffened when he heard this.
A split second later, he, too, let out a sigh and continued filling in the form.
When he finally finished, both of Cheryl’s parents had stopped crying.
When Jim left the room, he bumped into Joshua, bringing Cheryl’s parents to meet with the chief officer in charge of their cases.
The two elders had to be propped up by Joshua and Lucas as they walked.
Cheryl’s father was clutching Joshua’s arm tightly as he said, “President Lynch, Cheryl has been in love with you even when she was still alive, and now that she has died, can I tell everyone that she was your girlfriend? That way, she can rest in peace…
“President Lynch, Cheryl had died while under your care, so you have to find out who did this and punish them for this!”
Joshua let out an exhale when he heard this. Just as he was about to say something, he caught sight of Jim walking toward him.
He curled his lips into a smirk and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Martin. I’ll definitely punish the murderer, and I won’t let them get away scot-free!”
With that, he even shot Jim a meaningful look.
Jim narrowed his eyes and ignored them. Instead, he circled past them and strode toward Luna’s prison cell.
Joshua curled his lips into a sneer as he led Cheryl’s parents to the office.
Jim, on the other hand, was led to the visitation room by one of the guards.
Luna was brought out of her cell by a female prison guard. She sat down across from him and squeezed out a forced smile.
Jim let out a sigh and lifted his head to stare at Luna intently. “Initially, Father and I had asked Joshua to help convince Cheryl’s parents into letting you bail out.
“After all, there’s a set of fingerprints on the murder weapon, but…”
He let out a deep sigh. “Joshua didn’t agree to that.
“Not only did he refuse to help us, but he even wanted Cheryl’s parents to insist that you were the murderer and keep you here, so I guess unfortunately, you’ll have to stay here for a longer time.
“Don’t you worry, though. Father and I will investigate this case, and the murderer won’t be able to stay hidden for long.”
Luna pursed her lips and fell silent for a long time before finally lifting her head. “Joshua…”
She let out an exhale. “Did he really say that?”
No matter what happened, she refused to believe that Joshua would want to keep her in jail.
“Yes.” Jim sighed and added, “He gave us two choices; the first was to let you come out of jail, but his condition was that you have to resign from the CEO of Landry Group’s position and return to Banyan City with him after leaving us, never to return afterward.
“The other choice was to let you stay in jail forever, bearing the name of a murderer.”
Luna’s heart sank when she heard this.
She closed her eyes, and a bitter smile crept onto her face.
This man had indeed placed much effort into trying to get her to return to Banyan City with him.
He knew for a fact that she was not the murderer, but in order to get her to return to his side, he would rather let her be framed for murder and be imprisoned forever. This man was just as selfish as he had been in the past.
