Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 1717

After hanging up the call with the chief of police, Joshua closed his eyes in exhaustion.

He never expected that the case would be cracked so quickly.

Even though the police had already started to investigate Hunter as the prime suspect in this murder, they still could not confirm whether he was the culprit or not just based on a fingerprint.

Because the police did not want to inadvertently alert him to this, they had been investigating this in secret.

Joshua thought that because of this, Luna would have to be stuck in jail for at least another week, and during this time, Jim would have managed to take care of most of the Landry Group's affairs. Therefore, she would not have to deal with these things, nor would she have to settle them herself, and instead, she could take over as CEO easily.

However...

Joshua rubbed his brows in frustration.

Sensing Joshua's mood, Lucas quickly called off the meeting and dismissed the employees.

After everyone had left, he gently closed the meeting room door and crept over to Joshua's side. Then, he said in a low voice, "Sir, the police have started to arrest Hunter now, and if you want Ma'am to continue remaining in jail...

"Another thing we can do is alert Hunter about their impending arrival so that he can escape.

"That way, Ma'am would have to continue being jailed because the police can't capture him."

Joshua narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. He glanced at Lucas, sneering, "Are you suggesting that I become the Quinn family's accomplice just to keep Luna in jail?"

Lucas froze and quickly shut his mouth. "I seem to have said the wrong thing, Sir."

Joshua sighed. "Maybe this is fate after all."

Luna had never followed his plans when it came to their future.

Maybe it was fated from the beginning that she would one day become the CEO of Landry Group and rise to become his opponent.
