Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 335
Luna’s hand stiffened. After a moment, she let out a chuckle. “Did I hear you correctly, Miss Gibson? You hired people to kidnap my son and daughter. They’re sitting in front of me right now, putting ointment onto their wounds. Now you’re telling me you want to make a deal? I don’t think there’s anything to talk about.“
Leaning against the hospital bed, Alice closed her eyes. “What if the thing I wanted to talk to you about is me and Joshua’s divorce?“
Luna furrowed her brows. “What do you mean?“
“What I mean is, “ Alice answered. She took a deep breath and tried to make herself as clear as possible. “I wasn’t the one who hired the people to kidnap Neil and Nellie. You should know by now that I’m not that stupid. If I wanted to punish Neil and Nellie, I have plenty of other ways of doing so. I didn’t have to choose the dumbest method.“
Luna paused. “What are you trying to say?“
“I’m sure you know by now that Joshua is planning to divorce me, “ Alice said as she curled her lips into a smile, sounding somewhat disheartened. “I’ll make a deal with you right now. If you track Joshua down and ask him to let Yvonne go, then I won’t file for Neil and Nellie’s custody.“
Luna chuckled upon hearing Alice’s words. “Are you crazy, Alice?“
“You’re trying to use my children’s custody against
me so that I would ask Joshua to release the person who harmed them? Do you think Joshua is stupid? What makes you think he can’t put two and two together, and figure out your connection to Yvonne? Besides, what makes you think that you will be able to win Neil and Nellie’s custody rights in the first place?“
On the other end of the line, Alice’s face began to lose its color. She knew that Luna was right, but she could not risk letting Joshua find out about her scheme, so she was willing to do anything to cover her tracks.
Alice bit down on her lip and said, “Well then, why don’t you make me another deal? As long as Yvonne gets to walk off free, I’ll agree to anything you want.“
Luna let out a snort of laughter. “Why don’t you stop impersonating me and go back to your true identity?“
“Impossible! “ Alice interjected almost immediately. “I can agree to anything but this.“
“Alright, then I guess we don’t have a deal. “ Luna lowered her gaze and was about to hang up the phone when Alice’s voice rang out again, “Wait! “
Alice seemed to recall something and said hastily, “I can help you get in contact with Joseph and Natasha Gibson! “
Luna paused. Seeing that Luna did not hang up the phone, Alice’s face lit up. She knew that she had struck the jackpot.
“Luna, I’m sure you don’t wish for you and your parents’ relationship to remain like this forever. I’m sure you don’t want to be compared to Aura for the rest of your life, right? Look. Joseph and Natasha are on my side this time because they think I’m you.
They’re desperately trying their best to help me, and even stood up for me at the press conference, all because they think I’m Luna Gibson.
“I can help you take care of them, then change their opinions of you…“
Luna’s grip on her phone tightened. She could still recall the last thing Aura said to her when they met up in the coffee shop. “We share the same father but we’re born to different mothers. Dad quietly switched me and your biological sister, so I became the second daughter of the Gibson family, while your biological sister was sent to an orphanage.“ Luna closed her eyes and felt her chest tighten.
All this while, she had suspected that Alice was her long lost biological sister.
Luna let out a sigh.
Natasha’s attitude towards her had led her to the decision of disowning the Gibsons and Natasha.
