Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1437
When Luna finally arrived at Tea Cottage, it was already nighttime.
Bonnie, who was leaning against the couch, leaped up and pulled her into a hug as soon as she saw Luna entering. “You’re okay; that’s great! “
Bonnie had lunged so quickly and forcefully onto her that Luna almost lost her balance. She stumbled and quickly righted herself before asking, “What’s going on?“
“Just now, I saw on the news that there was a gun shooting at Lucky Den, and Malcolm had gotten hurt. I thought that— “
Luna’s entire body stiffened as soon as she heard this.
She lifted her head and glanced at the television screen. The newscaster was announcing the breaking news on the gun shooting at Lucky Den in a cold voice, “The shooting had happened so quickly that by the time everybody came to again, Master Quinn’s legs had already been hurt, and the shooter had fled the scene
“Fortunately, Malcolm Quinn’s legs had been injured in a car accident a month ago, which rendered his legs paralyzed. Therefore, even though
he had been shot, he couldn’t feel anything, and as of now, he’s safe and sound.
“As for the suspect, no one was able to identify the shooter. Because the security cameras in Lucky Den had been deliberately destroyed, we’re only left with an image of the back of the shooter’s head…“
Luna furrowed her brows and stared at the image of the shooter on the screen.
The man was dressed entirely in black and even had on a pair of sunglasses. It was difficult to discern whom it was solely based on a picture of his back.
However, Luna knew immediately who the shooter was.
She knew this man like the back of her hand, so much so that she could identify him by the image of his back.
Her heart sank.
“Rumors are circulating about the shooter’s motives behind all this. Some people say that he suspected Master Quinn’s legs weren’t paralyzed at all, so he shot him to prove his point…
“Some people say that the killer wasn’t aware of Master Quinn’s condition at all…“
A hint of disdain passed through Luna’s heart as she listened to this commentary.
There was another possibility.
The shooter was furious that she had refused to see him after so many days yet met up with Malcolm after only one invitation.
However, at the same time, he did not want to injure Malcolm out of fear that she would not forgive him for this, so he chose to shoot him in his legs instead.
“I ‘m fine, Bonnie. The shooting…happened after I left the restaurant.“ Luna fell into silence for a long while and finally exhaled. “It was Joshua who did it.“
Bonnie lifted her head to stare at her in shock. “ Joshua? How can that be?
“Merchant City is both the Quinn and Landry families’ territory! To shoot Malcolm Quinn in his territory…he must be insane! “
Luna curled her lips into a sneer. “Maybe he is.“
After comforting Bonnie for a while, Luna returned to her room with a lot on her mind.
She lay down on her bed and could not help recalling the image of Joshua on the screen.
Who would it be if not for him?
After seeing how he had behaved over the last few days—changing his appearance for her sake and recording all the things he wanted to say to her—she thought he had realized his mistake and was working to rectify them.
Out of the blue, he went and shot Malcolm just because she met up with him for dinner!
What if Malcolm initially had hope of recovering, but after suffering two gunshots, was never able to stand back up again?
Did Joshua ever think about the fact that even though Malcolm was his competitor, he was still the man who had saved her and the children?
Luna closed her eyes.
Joshua was still just as selfish as before and never thought of her as a priority.
If he had considered her feelings, he would never commit something like this!
