Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy by Inked Snow Chapter 1715
The entire room fell silent.
Heather stared at Luna with a calm expression, but in truth, her heart was thumping in her chest.
What was going on with this woman? When did she become so clever?
Seeing that Heather did not reply, Luna curled her lips into a smirk. ”Why aren’t you saying anything? A m I right? Were you and Malcolm…the ones who had switched out my and Joshua’s baby?”
”No, no, no, how can that be…” Heather quickly denied it and added, letting out a self-deprecating laugh, ”How could we possibly have been capable of doing that?
”Don’t forget that I had gone into labor at the same time you did, and both Malcolm and Father were at the hospital with me, either in the hallway waiting or in the operation room with me.
”How could we have switched out your child while I was in labor?”
Luna furrowed her brows when she heard this.
Heather was right; both of them had gone into labor at the same time.
On top of that, Luna herself had gone into labor only a few hours after hearing the news of Heather being admitted into the hospital.
According to this time frame, Malcolm had been together with Charles and Heather all the while and could not have had the time to deal with Luna.
Unbeknownst to Luna, however…Malcolm’s men had arranged for this to happen since the start.
First, they had admitted Heather into the hospital and then drugged Luna’s food with a labor-inducer medication so that she would give birth at the stipulated time.
The reason they had done this was so that if anyone were to ask, they would be able to say that Heather had gone into labor before Luna, and so the switching of Luna’s baby would have nothing to do with them.
Seeing that Luna’s attitude had changed, Heather let out a small sigh of relief and said, ”Luna, we have no other choices anymore, so we wanted to help you out while making some money of our own.
”On top of that, neither Malcolm nor I have any of the power and influence that we used to have in the past, and we’re not even sure if we can track down you and Joshua’s child at all…”
Luna furrowed her brows, shot Heather a cold glance, and chuckled. ”I can’t possibly offer you a branch of the Landry Group’s business because every single penny that we make now was a product of my mother’s blood, sweat, and tears.
”However, I can give you a small amount of money that would enable you to start your own business.”
With that, she let out an exhale and stood up to leave. ”I’m tired, so I’ll be off now.”
Heather narrowed her eyes as she watched Luna being taken away by the prison guard.
When she left the visitation room and entered the lobby, she bumped into a woman dressed entirely in black, wearing a mask, sunglasses, and cap.
When the woman caught sight of Heather, her entire body froze.
Heather, on the other hand, furrowed her brows in confusion.
Why was this woman wearing shades so early in the morning when the sun had not even come up yet?
She circled past the woman, pondering this, and was about to head out the door when the woman suddenly grabbed hold of her arm as she passed b
”Heather.” The woman curled her lips into a smirk and said in a hoarse voice, ”I came back because I heard you were kicked out of the Landry family.”
The color drained from Heather’s face when she heard this. She widened her eyes in shock. ”You… Are you Charlotte?”
Charlotte smirked and took off her sunglasses to reveal her eyes, full of contempt and hatred. ”Yes, it’s me.”
With that, she let go of Heather’s wrist and said, ” This time, I returned to take back what was rightfully mine.
”Also…I want to see you dead.”
Heather’s face was as pale as the wall behind her. Still, despite feeling fear, she still narrowed her eyes and sneered. “Do you think Jim would still fall for such an ugly creature like you?
“What are you doing at the police station so early in the morning, anyway? To report a crime? Or are you here to find Luna and win her trust?”
