Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 574
She feigned innocence and questioned Joshua, “Why are you asking me this, Mr. Lynch?“
Joshua narrowed his eyes. “No reason.“ With that, he slammed the door shut, and the car pulled away.
Luna gazed in the direction the Maserati had left and furrowed her brows.
Did she…get too carried away back there?
“Where are we going, Sir? “ asked Lucas as he drove the car out of Swan Lake Residences.
Joshua, who sat in the backseat, rubbed his eyebrows and said, “Let’s go to Jude’s place.“
Lucas paused. “Sir… Are you sure?“
It was already lo p.m., and Jude was an early riser, so he would have already gone to bed.
“Yes, I’m sure,“ Joshua replied impassively, then picked up the phone and dialed Jude’s number. “Hey, I’m heading to your place now. You don’t mind, right?“
“I do, very much, “ replied Jude with a yawn. “It’s so late now. Why are you coming over at this hour?“
“I don’t have anywhere else to go, so I’ll be sleeping at your place tonight.“
Jude froze for a moment, then chuckled. “Dude, you have a wife waiting for you at home and a mistress,
too. How could you possibly not have any place to go?”
Joshua frowned but did not reply. Instead, he immediately hung up the phone without saying another word.
Jude realized that Joshua had hung up and shot his phone a murderous glare.
Half an hour later, Joshua arrived at Jude’s house and knocked on his door. Jude opened the door with a yawn, still wearing his pajamas. “What a coincidence. Just after I got off the phone with you, I received news about the Walters.“
Joshua furrowed his brows, took off his jacket, and hung it on the coat rack next to the door before turning to glance at Jude. “What kind of news?“
“See for yourself.“ Jude handed his phone to Joshua. “My men sent this to me just now. They’ve already brought this girl to the police station.“
Joshua took the phone from him with a frown.
On the screen were some photos of a few men beating up a woman. The woman was so severely beaten up that her face was swollen and bruised, so much so that Joshua could not make out her normal appearance anymore.
In the last few photos, this woman was forced to kneel next to a trash can and stuff pieces of garbage into her mouth while the men watched, sneering.
The photos were so heart-wrenching and disgusting that Joshua could not bear to scroll through them any further. Instead, he furrowed his brows and handed the phone back to Jude. “What’s this?“
“Can’t you tell?“ Jude curled his lips into a smirk. “ The men in the photos are the same ones I’ve been following for a while now. They work for the Walters in Sea City. I thought that ever since what happened last time, they wouldn’t dare do anything risky anymore, but I was wrong.“
He tucked his phone away and sat down on the sofa gracefully. “I ‘ve managed to track down the girl in the photos. It’s a girl named Irene Cook. She’s one of the people that were hired today at Lynch Group to work as the Design Director’s assistants.“
Joshua scowled upon hearing this.
Luna’s assistant? Why were these men bullying Luna’s assistant?
Jude could tell that Joshua was baffled by this, so he leaned against the sofa and chuckled. “Well, according to Irene herself… She did something she shouldn’t have done today.
“She and a few of her colleagues went to dinner with Luna. While in the bathroom, she heard some gossip about you, Luna, your assistant, and Lynch Group’s security guards. She spread these rumors out into the company group chat, and Luna found out.“
With that, Jude lifted his head to glance at Joshua. “At this point, do you still believe Luna isn’t Hailey Walter?“
