Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1588
Pain, anger, resentment…
All these emotions surged into Heather’s heart. She bit her lip and stormed forward, putting her body in between Malcolm and Luna. “Luna, if you don’t believe me, then think back about what happened in the past. What did the wounds on your face look like? Can a car accident even cause injuries like that?
“Don’t you have a friend who’s a plastic surgeon? Go ask her! You’ll understand everything as soon as you ask her!”
“Heather Landry, are you insane?” Malcolm lunged forward and clapped his hand over Heather’s mouth in alarm.
At the same time, he lifted his head to shoot Luna an apologetic glance. “Heather is suffering from postpartum depression, so please don’t believe all the nonsense she says.”
Luna remained motionless and forced out a smile.
A split second later, she lifted her head to stare at Malcolm. “Why?”
Why did he ruin her looks and force her to get plastic surgery?
Was it because her old face was too ugly?
Luna had never been ugly at all. Even if she was, that was her face, and Malcolm had no right to destroy it and reconstruct a new one for her!
Not only that, but Luna had suffered greatly throughout the process of getting plastic surgery!
In the past, Luna thought that the car accident had scarred her face so severely that she could not live like a normal human being anymore, which was why she had so desperately tried to undergo plastic surgery.
She was more than grateful for Malcol m’s hel p in paying off the medical bills for her surgery, and even after she recovered, she had worked tremendously hard to pay off the debt she owed him.
Luna had always felt indebted to Malcolm, but at this moment…
All of this was just a joke.
Malcol m was the one who had destroyed her face in the first place.
“It was probably because you used to look exactly like Mrs. Landry.”
Suddenly, a low, male voice interrupted the silence in the hallway.
That voice…
Luna closed her eyes.
She knew who it was without even looking.
“Joshua Lynch?” Malcolm, still holding his hand over Heather’s mouth, furrowed his brows when he saw Joshua coming out of the elevator. “How dare you even show up here?”
“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and glanced behind him.
The person standing behind him was none other than Luke, dressed entirely in white. He was fiddling with a pocket knife, his head lowered.
Having sensed Malcolm’s eyes on him, Luke lifted his head to meet his gaze, an evil smirk playing on his lips. “Whether you want to fight or play with fire, I’ll gladly accompany you.
Malcolm’s entire body stiffened when he heard this.
There were two legendary people who emerged in Merchant City over the last six months. One of them was Joshua Lynch, the man with immense power and influence that could topple the entire city and had become a figure that no one dared to offend.
Meanwhile, there was Luke Jones, the man who had defeated all the head honchos in Merchant City and gathered their men as his own.
As of late, there had been a saying circulating in Merchant C ity: you can offend anyone in the world, but you should never get on Joshua Lynch and Luke Jones’ bad sides.
All of a sudden, Joshua and Luke had appeared alongside each other…
No matter how badIy Malcolm wanted to beat Joshua up this instant, he had to reconsider.
“Why did he have to ruin her looks just because she looked like her mother?” Seeing that none of them were speaking, Gwen finally voiced her confusion.
“The reason is simple.” Joshua curled his lips into a smirk, wal ked over until he stood in front of Luna, and shielded her behind his back. Then, he stared at Malcolm coldly and continued, “That’s because if Luna didn’t undergo plastic surgery, the Landry family would have suspected her identity as soon as they laid eyes on her and would’ve reclaimed her as their own.
“Therefore, he wanted to change Luna’s appearance so that he could keep her by his side and reveal her true identity to gain the Landry family’s trust and use them.”
Luna’s chest tightened upon hearing this.
So.
She had merely been a pawn in Malcolm’s game since the stan, had she not?
