CHAPTER 1548
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1548
“Father, you can’t possibly… You can’t possibly believe what Jim says, right?
“I… How could I possibly…“
Charles narrowed his eyes. He exuded an aura so domineering that Heather suddenly felt it difficult to
breathe. “Heather.”
Charles narrowed his eyes as he stared at Heather’s pale face. “If you admit your mistake now, I ‘ll still
forgive the terrible choices you have made, considering I’ve raised you for so many years, but if you
insist on lying…“
His expression darkened. “Some lies are so fragile they can easily be exposed. Are you sure you want
me to investigate this?“
Heather bit her lip as she met Charles’ icy gaze. Then, she kneeled on the floor with a thud and
admitted the truth, “Father, it was all my fault…
“I…I just thought if Luna gives birth to her child, it’ll bring chaos to both her and all of us, including the
child itself… That’s why I made such a terrible mistake…“
Before she could even finish, Charles gave her a hard kick. “Even if we were to get rid of this child,
we’ll do it proudly instead of relying on deceitful tricks like this! Besides, what were you thinking? content rights.
“Even if Luna had miscarried after she was raped by another man, what would happen to her dignity?
She has an engagement with Malcolm! What would happen if he and the Quinn family found out about
this?“
Heather landed on the floor, rolling a few times before she picked herself back up, wiping the blood
from the corner of her mouth. “I…I had never thought of ruining Luna’s reputation at all! I know that if I
let Luna sleep with another man…the Quinn family would never be able to accept this…“
She sucked in a deep breath and said, her head lowered, “So I got Malcolm to do it instead.“
As soon as she heard this, Luna sucked in a deep breath of surprise.
She recalled how she had bumped into Malcolm in the morning. He still looked as kind and gentle as
always, and she had honestly thought he was there to check on her.
It turned out, however…
It turned out that he and Heather had been in on this together, trying to get rid of her child!
Luna recalled how Malcolm had admitted that he had tried to get Joshua killed.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna suddenly felt suffocated. She used to think she knew Malcolm
very well, but at this point…
This man had tried to kill Joshua and plotted to kill her child alongside Heather.
Luna suddenly felt that…
She had never understood this man at all.
He had changed…
Where had the old Malcolm Quinn, the one who had saved and helped her without wanting anything in
return and had even taken care of her children for her, gone?
Seeing how dazed Luna looked, so much so that she almost lost her balance, Jim let out a sigh and
pulled Luna into his arms. Then, he lifted his head to glance coldly at Charles. “You’re finally using your
brain, old geezer.“
Charles shot him a cold glance and replied, “If you were the one who had planned this, you would’ve
taken an antidote beforehand.
“You had never been with a woman apart from that incident six years ago, so how could you have
taken such a risk to poison Heather?“
Jim narrowed his eyes and chuckled. “You’re right; I’m not as stupid as her.“
Kneeling on the ground, Heather suddenly felt that Jim’s words were like two slaps landing on her face.
She bit her lip nervously.
The antidote…
Why had she not thought of this last night?
“Old geezer, didn’t you say Malcolm wanted you to bring him and Luna’s wedding forward? Well, I think
we have to call off the wedding now.“
Charles glanced at him with a frown. “Why?“
Jim raised his brows and replied, “Why don’t you take a guess? Who do you think countered the effects
of the drug for Heather?”
