Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy by Inked Snow Chapter 1699
Joshua’s words were just as cold as his tone.
Luna furrowed her brows as she stared at the man before her.
All of a sudden, she realized that she did not understand this man as well as she thought.
She had always thought he loved and cared about her.
Even when Jim told her what he had said, she still thought that Jim was exaggerating and that Joshua could not possibly be unaware of how bad the living conditions in prison were.
If he cared about her, he would not subject her to such suffering.
However, what Joshua had said felt like a slap to Luna’s face.
He had said that he would rather she be imprisoned than stand against him.
Luna bit her lip and lifted her head to stare at Joshua, not knowing whether to laugh or cry about this. “Joshua, do you think that your vengeance toward the Landry family is more important to me?”
Joshua narrowed his eyes and stared at her, smiling. “What do you think? Luna—”
He stared at her with a solemn expression. “I had been planning my defeat of the Quinn and Land ry families for almost a year now. If you hadn’t been pregnant with my child for the first nine months, the Landry family would’ve been on the verge of bankruptcy, like the Quinn family, by now.
“It’s true that Granny Lynch had indeed killed your uncle, Charles’ brother Colin, but on the other hand, the Land ry family had also poisoned Granny Lynch and almost made her lose her life.
“After being rescued from the verge of dying, Granny Lynch kept on telling me not to cause any more trouble for the Landry family so that the vengeance wouldn’t fester.”
As soon as he thought of Granny Lynch, a glimmer of hatred and malice shot through Joshua’s eyes. “From the
moment I took over Lynch Group, Granny had been telling m e over and over that the vengeance between our two families had ended, and she hoped that Lynch Group would become a clean and forgiving company in my hands, but what happened after that?
“Granny still died in the hands of a Landry.”
Luna bit her lip.
Even though Granny Lynch had died because of Michael, she could not deny that Joshua was right because…
Even if Michael had not killed her, Granny Lynch would eventually die of Rosalyn’s poisoning.
On top of that, Mickey had been to Granny’s room the day she died.
At that time, Luna, who was accompanying Granny by her bedside, had passed out after inhaling the smoke bomb that Mickey had brought over.
If Michael had not killed Granny that day, what would have happened?
What was Mickey doing there?
Also, the butler had told her before that Rosalyn was the only person who had access to the poison used by the Landry family, so how else would Aura have managed to get her hands on it?
All of these facts pointed toward a conclusion that Luna did not want to face…
Rosalyn had been the one who reignited the rivalry between the Lynch and Landry families.
Seeing that Luna had fallen silent, Joshua let out an exhale and stared intently at her face. “Luna, you know better than anyone just how much Granny meant to me. Therefore, the Landry family must pay the price of their actions. As for the Quinn family…”
He continued, still staring at Luna, “Even though they hadn’t done anything wrong to me in the past, but they did, to you.
“Not to mention, the Landry and Quinn families are now merged into a single unit.”
Joshua curled his lips into a smirk. “Give me one month. A month later, I’ll come personally to help clear up your name and bring you back to Banyan City.
“By that time, not even the Quinn or Landry family could stop us from being together.”
A glimmer of malice shot through Joshua’s eyes as he said this.
Luna could not help feeling that the man sitting before her was like a stranger to her.
She asked in a hoarse voice, “What if I don’t want to go home with you?”
Joshua chuckled. “I’ll make you want to come home with me.”
