Joshua curled his lips into a smirk. "What a change of heart."
Over the past year, every time Joshua and Luna met, whether at Tea Cottage or Luna's current residence, Joshua had approached her first.
However, since she was in jail, she was the one initiating their meeting instead.
"There's no change of heart." Jim glanced impassively at the elderly couple behind Joshua. "It's natural that Luna would want to see you, considering you were the one who persuaded Cheryl’s parents into framing her for murder."
Jim had deliberately lowered his voice when he said this, but to his surprise, both of Cheryl's parents still overheard this.
Mrs. Martin widened her eyes in shock when she heard this. She immediately stormed over to Jim, dragging Mr. Martin behind her, and yelled, "What on earth are you talking about? How dare you say we're framing Luna?"
She pointed at the surveillance footage on the police officer's screen and said, sobbing, "Everything has been recorded through security footage! Every time Luna and our daughter met, they'd get into conflict!
"Even before attending the wedding yesterday, they had gotten into another dispute right at the hotel entrance! Who else would want to kill our daughter apart from her?
"Not to mention that according to the witness statement, our daughter's final words were asking Luna why she killed her! How dare you even say we're framing her based on so much evidence? Where is your conscience?"
In contrast to Mrs. Martin's outburst, Mr. Martin was far calmer.
He furrowed his brows and glanced first at the surveillance footage, then at Jim. He sneered and said, "My dear, don't be so upset. This is the man that was with Luna at the mall and the hotel entrance who had humiliated our daughter as well. He's Luna's elder brother!"
As soon as Mrs. Martin heard this, she cocked her arm and slapped Jim right across his face.
Jim did not see this coming at all, so he did not manage to dodge this.
