Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy by Inked Snow Chapter 1697
Joshua did not expect Jim to toss the question over to him.
He narrowed his eyes and said impassively, “I believe only the results of the police’s investigation.”
Jim sneered as he wiped away the blood trickling out of the corner of his lips. “I know that too, but I’m asking you that as Luna’s ex-wife, the father of Luna’s four child ren, do you, Joshua Lynch, think that Luna could have killed Cheryl, the woman that posed no threat to her at all whether relationship or career-wise?”
“What do you mean, she posed no threat to Luna’s relationship or career-wise?” Cheryl’s parents could not believe this at all.
Mrs. Martin tried to release herself from Joshua’s grip as she glared at Jim. “Luna clearly killed Cheryl because she didn’t think she’d be able to compete against her when trying to win President Lynch’s heart! How dare you even say she posed no threat to Luna? You’re talking nonsense!”
Seeing that Mrs. Martin was about to be freed of Joshua’s grasp and lunge toward Jim, two police officers approached them and restrained her.
“Me? Talking nonsense?” Jim sneered. “Even though I sympathize with you over your loss, I still hope the two of you can be awoken to the truth.
“The reason Luna had stayed in Merchant City was that she didn’t want to return home with Joshua Lynch. She longed for nothing more than to get rid of him, so why would she want to compete with your daughter for him?
“Do you want me to play the audio clip of your daughter insulting Luna and calling her a hooker?”
He swept his cold glance over Mr. and Mrs. Martin’s shocked faces. “Even though parents always think the best of their child ren, I still hope you have some self-awareness.
“If you continue pestering me like this, I’ll expose all of the humiliating things your daughter did when she was alive, so I suggest that you refrain yourselves to show some respect to her.”
With that, he turned to glance coldly at Joshua. “You’re still unwilling to admit the truth, aren’t you?”
He lowered his head to adjust his cufflinks and continued, ” Eight months ago, when someone stabbed my mother in her chest with a knife, you were the prime suspect.
“At that time, Luna’s first reaction was to doubt that you were the culprit. If it weren’t for the fact that all of the evidence pointed toward you, she wouldn’t have changed her mind, but what about you?
“Now that Cheryl’s death was still a mystery and the fingerprint on the murder weapon clearly didn’t belong to Luna, you chose to ignore that fact and instead insist that she was the culprit.”
Jim let out an exhale and curled his lips into a smirk. “You don’t deserve Luna at all.
“Just now, she wanted me to tell you to visit her because she wants to see you, but I don’t think that matters anymore now. After all, there’s nothing you can do apart from upsetting her.”
With that, he turned and strode away.
Joshua remained motionless and narrowed his eyes as he watched Jim leave.
“Mr. Lynch.” After Jim disappeared from sight, Mr. and Mrs. Martin rushed toward Joshua. “The murderer must’ve wanted to trick you into thinking she didn’t do it, and that’s why she wanted to see you! You can’t fall for her tricks!
” Don’t visit her…even if it was for Cheryl, you shouldn’t…”
Joshua glanced impassively at the elderly couple and replied, “I’ve told you that I’ll help investigate the truth about Cheryl’s death.”
