Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1522
Both the look in Jim’s eyes and the tone of his voice made Heather feel as though she was about to be eaten alive.
Even though she had deliberately avoided his gaze, she could still feel the hatred and coldness of his stare. She could not help shuddering as she replied, “ What—What nonsense are you talking about? How could I…how could I have…
“Isn’t the evidence of Joshua killing Mother as clear as day? Don’t try to frame me so that your cousin can go scot-free! “
Jim snickered and said, “Well, I hope that’s the case. Otherwise, I can’t even imagine the consequences.“
With that, he let go of her and strode away.
Heather propped herself against the wall and stared intently at Jim’s retreating figure.
It was only after he had entered the elevator that Heather let out a sigh of relief and slid down onto the floor feebly.
Her heart thumped in her chest.
Even though she had devised plans of killing other people with Aura in the past, whether it was Luna six years ago or Granny Lynch not long ago…
She had never carried the plans out by herself.
This time, because Malcolm had suffered gunshot injuries in both his legs, she had no choice but to take matters into her own hands.
Whenever Heather recalled the shocked, terrified look on Rosalyn’s face when she plunged the knife into her chest, Heather would get so nervous that her palms would start to sweat.
From Jim’s behavior just moments ago, she had thought he had somehow managed to obtain evidence of her crime.
Heather narrowed her eyes. This could not continue.
She could not possibly rely on only Charles, the man who treated her as his daughter. She needed to find someone else to rely on.
Someone…who could protect her from all harm!
After coming out of the hospital, Jim headed straight to the police station.
Truth be told, he did not believe that Joshua could have killed Rosalyn, not because he trusted Joshua entirely due to their shared bloodline, but because…
He did not think that someone as intelligent as Joshua would commit such a stupid crime.
If he wanted to kill Rosalyn, he could have used other methods that would not expose him, so why did he choose to kill her when Rosalyn requested to meet with him?
Not only that, Joshua had returned to the crime scene a second time and exited Rosalyn’s room covered in blood, then summoned a doctor and after that went to lodge a police report.
None of this seemed like anything a genius like Joshua would do.
After reaching the police station, Jim could not help feeling a little worried as he sat in the visitation room, waiting for Joshua to see him.
He still recalled what Charles had said when he called Malcolm from the hospital, requesting him to stop Joshua from coming out of the police station alive at all means.
Merchant City was the Landry and Quinn families’ territory.
Even though Joshua was extremely powerful and influential in Banyan City, he would never win this battle in Merchant City.
At this moment, someone opened the room door.
As opposed to the security footage, Joshua had changed into a set of clean clothes.
As soon as he opened the door and caught sight of Jim, Joshua curled his lips into a small smile.
Despite wearing handcuffs and shackles, Joshua made his way elegantly to Jim’s side, looking like a king.
Finally, he sat down across from Jim, and the prison guard left after giving him some instructions.
Jim was a little surprised by this, and he furrowed his brows. “Did no one…try to bully you here?“
“Nope.“ Joshua shifted into a more comfortable position in his chair. “Have you heard of the name Luke Jones?”
Jim frowned and nodded.
It was impossible not to have heard of Luke Jones.
This man, who hailed from Sea City, managed to conquer all the gangs in Merchant City within a month. Even Todd, the gangster whom Jim had known for quite some time, had fled Merchant City after he was defeated by this legendary Luke Jones.
Now, Luke Jones was the head honcho of all the gangs in Merchant City.
Joshua curled his lips into a smile and said, “He’s my friend whom I called to Merchant City to help me.”
Seeing the shocked look on Jim’s face, Joshua smiled and continued, “Malcolm’s men can’t do anything to me at all.”
With that, his smile disappeared, and he glanced at Jim with a meaningful look. “Mrs. Landry…is she okay?”
