Joshua instinctively rubbed his brows in frustration when he heard this. "Well, the truth is, none of you needed to come."
Since Jacqueline was dead, there was no longer any plaintiff in Luna's hearing. Not only that, but all the surveillance tapes of that night were seized by the police as evidence, and the fact that everyone at the wedding that day could vouch that Jacqueline provoked Luna to the extent that she lost control…
This meant that Luna would not suffer too badly, even if she had to face judicial prosecution in the end.
After all, she did this for her best friend, whom she held dear to her heart.
"Needn't come?" Jim scoffed at this. "If we don't come now, when are we supposed to see her? After she starts serving time in prison?
"This is absolutely outrageous, Joshua Lynch! Not only did you fail to protect Luna, but now that she's in jail, you even dare tell us not to come visit her!
"Did you intend to continue hiding this from us? We wouldn't even have known about this if I hadn't discovered it by accident!"
Joshua furrowed his brows when he heard the rage in Jim's tone. Then, he replied calmly, "Yes, that was what I intended to do."
Luna was only going to spend a few months in prison at most, and it would not be too difficult to hide this from the Landry family for the time being.
Jim was utterly infuriated to hear this. "Joshua Lynch!"
"When are you arriving?" Joshua lowered his head to glance at the time, not in the mood to continue arguing with Jim. "Do you need me to pick you up at the airport?"
"What do you think?" Jim scoffed. "Even though I've been to Banyan City plenty of times, this is still my parents' first time ever stepping foot in this place. As the host, shouldn't welcoming your guests be part of your manners? If you don't agree with me, don't come, then!"
With that, Jim hung up the phone.
