Joshua did not expect Jim to toss the question over to him.
He narrowed his eyes and said impassively, "I believe only the results of the police's investigation."
Jim sneered as he wiped away the blood trickling out of the corner of his lips. "I know that too, but I'm asking you that as Luna's ex-wife, the father of Luna's four children, do you, Joshua Lynch, think that Luna could have killed Cheryl, the woman that posed no threat to her at all whether relationship or careerwise?"
"What do you mean, she posed no threat to Luna's relationship or career-wise?" Cheryl's parents could not believe this at all.
Mrs. Martin tried to release herself from Joshua's grip as she glared at Jim. "Luna clearly killed Cheryl because she didn't think she'd be able to compete against her when trying to win President Lynch's heart! How dare you even say she posed no threat to Luna? You're talking nonsense!"
Seeing that Mrs. Martin was about to be freed of Joshua's grasp and lunge toward Jim, two police officers approached them and restrained her.
"Me? Talking nonsense?" Jim sneered. "Even though I sympathize with you over your loss, I still hope the
two of you can be awoken to the truth.
"The reason Luna had stayed in Merchant City was that she didn't want to return home with Joshua Lynch. She longed for nothing more than to get rid of him, so why would she want to compete with your daughter for him?
"Do you want me to play the audio clip of your daughter insulting Luna and calling her a hooker?"
He swept his cold glance over Mr. and Mrs. Martin's shocked faces. "Even though parents always think the best of their children, I still hope you have some self-awareness.
"If you continue pestering me like this, I'll expose all o f the humiliating things your daughter did when she was alive, so I suggest that you refrain yourselves to show some respect to her."
