Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy by Inked Snow Chapter 1696
Joshua curled his lips into a smirk. “What a change of heart.
Over the past year, every time Joshua and Luna met, whether at Tea Cottage or Luna’s current residence, Joshua had approached her first.
However, since she was in jail, she was the one initiating their meeting instead.
“There’s no change of heart.” Jim glanced impassively at the elderly couple behind Joshua. “It’s natural that Luna would want to see you, considering you were the one who persuaded Cheryl’s parents into framing her for murder.”
Jim had deliberately lowered his voice when he said this, but to his surprise, both of Cheryl’s parents still overheard this.
Mrs. Martin widened her eyes in shock when she heard this. She immediately stormed over to Jim, dragging Mr. Martin behind her, and yelled, “What on earth are you talking about? How dare you say we’re framing Luna?”
She pointed at the surveillance footage on the police officer’s screen and said, sobbing, “Everything has been recorded through security footage! Every time Luna and our daughter met, they’d get into conflict!
“Even before attending the wedding yesterday, they had gotten into another dispute right at the hotel entrance! Who else would want to kill our daughter apart from her?
“Not to mention that according to the witness statement, our daughter’s final words were asking Luna why she killed her! How dare you even say we’re framing her based on so much evidence? Where is your conscience?”
In contrast to Mrs. Martin’s outburst, Mr. Martin was far calmer.
He furrowed his brows and glanced first at the surveillance footage, then at Jim. He sneered and said, “My dear, don’t be so upset. This is the man that was with Luna at the mall and the hotel entrance who had humiliated our daughter as well. He’s Luna’s elder brother!”
As soon as Mrs. Martin heard this, she cocked her arm and slapped Jim right across his face.
Jim did not see this coming at all, so he did not manage to dodge this.
Smack!
A loud slap echoed through the police station lobby, and everyone in the room widened their eyes in shock.
After all, this man was the heir of the Landry family.
However, the elderly woman that had just lost her daughter did not care about this. She glared at Jim and snapped, ” Luna deserves to die, and so do you!
“Your entire family should rot in hell!”
With that, she cocked her arm once more.
However, before she could slap Jim again, Joshua grabbed hold of her arm mid-air. He said, frowning, “That’s enough, Mrs. Martin.”
Jim was not a person that anyone could insult just like this.
“I’m not going to hold you accountable for assaulting me like this.” Jim sneered, turning around to glance at Mrs. Martin. “After all, I had embarrassed your daughter too, last night, and this is my punishment for making fun of her, but—
He narrowed his eyes and said in a stern voice, “If you touch me again, I won’t let you get away with this without consequences.
“Also, when I say my sister is innocent, she is. She’ll never kill someone.”
With that, he sneered and glanced at Joshua. “What do you say, Mr. Lynch? “Do you think Luna could’ve been the murderer?”
