Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy by Inked Snow Chapter 1710
Visitors were not allowed at night, but the woman emanated such a terrifyingly sinister aura that the police on duty made an exception for her and let her in.
Luna was awoken from her sleep.
She could not stop asking the prison guard who the visitor was as she followed her out of the cell.
However, the prison guard could not offer her any information apart from the visitor’s gender. The visitor was a woman.
Luna furrowed her brows, thinking it was Gwen.
To her surprise, it was a strange woman dressed entirely in black and wearing a pair of sunglasses.
Luna entered the visitation room, frowning, and sat down across from the woman. ”You are…”
”Let me introduce myself.” The woman lifted her head to smile at Luna. ”My name is Charlotte Jacobs, I’m about the same age as you, and I was your brother Jim’s first girlfriend.”
Luna widened her eyes in shock.
Jim’s…first girlfriend?
How did she not know that Jim had ever had a girlfriend before?
Ever since she returned to the Landry family, she had only known of Jim’s reluctance to date, and even Harvey’s birth six years ago was simply an accident, so where did this woman come from?
”Jim and I were together six years ago, and at that time, you hadn’t returned to the Landry family yet, so it’s natural that you’re unaware of my existence.” The woman smiled. ”I’ve been avoiding this for six years now, and it’s about time I face the truth.”
With that, she elegantly removed her sunglasses and mask, revealing her scarred face to Luna.
Luna stared at Charlotte’s face in shock.
This was a face that looked even more terrifying than hers after Malcolm had deliberately ruined her face.
It was clear that this woman had tried to salvage her appearance, but scars all over her face were too deep to get rid of entirely, and her wounds were still shocking to any onlooker.
”You’re different; you’re not scared of me at all.” Charlotte curled her lips into a smile when she saw Luna’s surprisingly calm expression.
”Your brother and I met at the orphanage when we were young. I used to love wearing red clothes and would always follow him around, calling his name.
”At that time, he mistook me for you and wanted to take me away from the orphanage.
”However, after that, the Landry family found Heather and brought her home instead, so I didn’t get to leave the orphanage with him in the end.
”After we grew up, we managed to reunite again, but unfortunately, not long after your brother and I got together, Heather lured me to an abandoned warehouse and set it on fire, ruining everything that I had.”
With that, she gazed at Luna and continued, ”I should be thanking you. If it weren’t for you, Heather wouldn’t have been kicked out of the Landry family, and I wouldn’t have gained the courage to return to Merchant City.”
After she finished describing her experience to Luna, Charlotte let out an exhale and fixated her gaze on Luna. ”All these years, I’ve been learning how to run a business while I was abroad, and I always hoped that I’d be able to stand on top of the world, right next to Jim.
”Now that the Landry family is going through difficulties, I couldn’t bear to see him go through this alone, so I decided to come back.”
Luna pursed her lips and let out a small sigh when she caught sight of the look in Charlotte’s eyes upon mentioning Jim’s name. ”The reason you came to visit me so late at night…is to thank me?”
”Of course not.” Charlotte took out her phone and played the recording of Lucas’ voice that she had overheard at the restaurant to Luna.
”I guess love is always selfish; even President Lynch is no exception. Even after knowing who the real murderer is now, he still wants to keep Ma’am locked up in jail for his benefit.
”I know he doesn’t want Ma’am to become his opponent in the future, but wouldn’t doing this make her hate him even more? I don’t understand what he’s trying to do…”
When the audio clip finished playing, Luna felt as though her entire body had been submerged in ice- cold water.
She bit her lip as despair filled her entire heart.
It turned out Joshua had already found out who the real murderer was…yet he would instead let the culprit get away scot-free than release her from jail.
”I can help you get out of here.” Charlotte stared at Luna intently. ”But you have to agree to one condition.”
