The next morning, Joshua was just about to take a quick nap on the sofa after working the entire night when his phone rang.
It was Jude.
Joshua picked up, rubbing his eyebrows in exhaustion. "What's wrong?"
"Joshua!" Jude exclaimed from the other end of the line. "Where were you last night?"
Joshua furrowed his eyebrows and glanced at the empty living room. "At home, of course."
Before this, he and Luna had stayed in a rental unit that John helped them book so that their return to Banyan City would remain a secret, but considering that everyone in Banyan City knew that they returned and even witnessed Luna attempting murder, Joshua decided not to continue staying at the rental unit anymore and instead returned home to Blue Bay Villa.
Since Blue Bay Villa had been abandoned for quite some time, he dismissed most of the servants working there, with only a couple remaining to keep the villa clean and tidy.
It was five in the morning, and the cleaners had yet to arrive, so Joshua was the only one at home.
"You didn't go to the hospital, did you?" Jude asked after letting out an exhale.
Joshua raised his brows at this. "Why would I go there?"
"Jacqueline is dead." Jude sighed. "The nurses found her when they were doing their ward rounds this morning. Someone yanked off all her equipment and oxygen supply. She…quite literally suffocated to death."
Joshua's hand stiffened when he heard this. He was silent for a long time before finally asking, "Did they check the surveillance cameras?"
