Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy by Inked Snow Chapter 1665
Just as Charles was about to faint, Luna furrowed her brows and lunged forward, grabbing hold of the pill he was holding in his hand and shoving it into his mouth.
As soon as he swallowed the pill, Charles did not pass out after all.
His entire body was slumped against Heather as he pointed at Luna, shaking. “You—
“You! You good for nothing daughter! Where did you send your mother?”
Luna let out an exhale. “I sent her somewhere safe.”
She lifted her head to stare intently at Charles. “I didn’t think she would be safe in Merchant City, so I sent her away.”
Heather paused when she heard this and glanced at Luna with a look of fake confusion. “But when I came here to visit Mother yesterday morning, she was still here, so when did you send her away?”
Luna sneered. “Since you saw her in the morning, then I surely sent her away in the afternoon.”
Heather clapped her hand on her mouth in shock. “It turns out that…the thing that Joshua’s men had been escorting out of Merchant City was Mother?”
“What?” Charles erupted in anger when he heard this. ” Joshua was the one who sent your mother away?”
“Don’t be angry, Father; I was just making a guess.” Heather bit her lip and glanced at Charles somewhat hesitantly, then at Luna. “I just heard that…Joshua had sent many of his men to escort a van out of Merchant City yesterday…
“I thought that something that required Joshua to show up himself must have been an important material for his supply chain or something, and I even sent some of my men to follow them.”
With that, she took out her phone and showed Charles the video that Malcolm had taken of Joshua’s men the day before. “Look, this is what my men sent me.
“However, after Joshua left the city, we lost them, but strangely enough, after investigating for a long time, no one could find out what was the important document or material that Joshua had sent out of the city.”
As she said this, Heather glanced carefully at Luna and continued, “Because Luna and Joshua’s news had been plastered all over the internet today, and on top of that, the time seemed to match up…so I blurted out the possibility that Joshua had escorted Mother out of Merchant City.
“However, it might not be the case. Luna knows full well that Joshua was the one who had almost murdered Mother, so how can she possibly…”
Charles narrowed his eyes and turned to glare at Luna. ” Tell me! Were Joshua’s men escorting your mother out of the city yesterday?”
Luna narrowed her eyes. “Yes.” Smack—!
As soon as she answered, Charles cocked his arm and slapped her right across her face.
Even though Charles was weak, he was still a full-grown adult male, so his slap was forceful and did not show mercy toward Luna at all.
Luna staggered a few steps back, hitting her back against the cupboard behind her.
The sting of Charles’ slap burned her face, and she was a little dizzy from the impact. On top of that, she could taste blood.
Luna opened her eyes and wanted to focus her gaze on the man before her, but she could not even do so.
“Luna!” Theo stormed into the room and grabbed hold of Luna. “Are you okay?”
With Theo’s help, Luna finally managed to stand up after two tries.
Charles stared at this strange man that had stormed into the room and furrowed his brows.
