Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy by Inked Snow Chapter 1695
Seeing the glimmer in Luna’s eyes disappear, Jim sighed, took out a contract from his pocket, and placed it in front of Luna. “I didn’t manage to sleep even a wink last night.
After settling everything here, I returned to Landry Group to familiarize myself with everything that has happened and how the company’s situation is now.”
He lifted his head to stare at Luna. “The situation is far more complicated than I had expected.
“Heather was a total idiot. Under Malcolm’s influence, she had tied all of Landry Group’s supply chains together with Quinn Group’s to double their profits, but this also meant that if one of us were to go bankrupt, the other would go down with them.
“I’m sure you must still remember what happened to Quinn Group last night.”
Jim pushed the contract closer to Luna and said, “Because of this, Landry Group is on the verge of bankruptcy as well. I have to first help both Landry and Quinn Group tide over this before I can untie both of the corporation’s bonds.
“Therefore, I need your help.”
Luna furrowed her brows and lowered her head to glance at the contract.
It was almost identical to the one Malcolm had given her before, stating that if she signed this contract, it would allow Jim to unfreeze the money under her name and utilize it for Landry Group’s funding.
Luna curled her lips into a smile and signed the contract without a second thought after borrowing a pen from the prison guard.
She handed the signed contract back to Jim and said, ” Thank you, Jim.”
She knew fully well that even if she could not be bailed out of jail, she would still have to sign this contract.
If the Landry and Quinn families were not on the verge of bankruptcy, Heather and Malcolm would not have been so desperate to get her to hand over the money.
Besides, even if she had not ended up in jail, Jim would have been the one to take care of all this anyway.
The situation she was in was not much different than if she had not been accused of murder.
As soon as she thought of this, she let out an exhale and lifted her head to stare intently at Jim. “If possible, help me find Joshua and tell him to come to visit me. I want to see him.”
Jim fell silent for a moment, then nodded. “Alright.”
He did not tell Luna that Joshua was just outside, accompanying Cheryl’s parents.
Soon, visitation hours were over, and Jim got out of his seat.
When he arrived at the lobby entrance, he saw Cheryl’s parents crying as they held onto an elderly police officer. ” This Luna must have been the murderer; it must’ve been her!
“She is in love with President Lynch, just like our daughter! Every time they met, something unpleasant would happen, and one time, they even ended up in the police station because of a brawl!
“Isn’t this enough to be considered a motive? Why are you so fixated on the fingerprint to deduce that Luna only has a fifty-percent suspicion of being the culprit?
“Is the fingerprint really that important?” Cheryl’s mother could not help grabbing the officer’s sleeve as she sobbed. “She’s our darling Sherry! She’s the pride of our family!
She’s only twenty years old…
“I can’t believe she’s gone just like this! Can’t you just prosecute that woman for murder? How are the two of us even going to survive this?
“If you even dare to release that woman from bail, then both of us will kill ourselves right here at your doorstep!” Mrs. Martin howled at the top of her lungs. Meanwhile, Mr. Martin cried as he held onto his wife and could not stop going on about how good of a daughter Cheryl had been.
Jim did not agree with them at all.
If Cheryl had indeed been such a good person, she would not have insulted Luna by saying she was a prostitute simply because she was jealous of Luna, nor would she have spent 20 times her salary on a dress so that she could stand out during the wedding ceremony.
However, he still had to respect the victim.
Even though Cheryl was a bad person, all these were minor wrongdoings, and she did not deserve to die like that.
Just as Jim was staring blankly at the sight before him, Joshua lifted his head.
Their eyes met.
Joshua raised his brows. “Are you looking for me?”
Jim nodded. He called Joshua over and said in a low voice, “Luna wants to see you.”
