Chapter 2071
Todd had been living a good life in Merchant City, but his biggest secret was that he had helped Sirius kill Colin Landry in the past.
Todd was terrified of someone else finding out about this. After all, the Landry family had become more powerful and influential over the years, and if his past crimes were exposed, he would never be able to survive in Merchant City anymore.
Therefore, Joshua was confident that Charlotte and Sirius must have known each other. Otherwise, Todd would not have risked being exposed to help Charlotte kill Heather.
At least, Charlotte must have some information about what Todd had done for Sirius in the past, and she must have used this to threaten him. This was why Todd had been forced to help her kill Heather at such an absurdly low price.
Charlotte’s denial had indirectly confirmed Joshua’s guesses.
According to Charlotte’s personality, if she truly did not know who Sirius was, she would still have dragged this man down with her by claiming that he had helped her commit most of her crimes.
That way, it would inadvertently reduce her involvement in all this and make her seem as though she was not as bad as they had thought.
However, she did not do this. Instead, she denied Sirius’involvement in all her crimes, making it seem like she was the sole mastermind in all this.
This was unusual.
Charlotte narrowed her eyes when she saw how confident Joshua was.
A split second later, she sneered and said, “Joshua, you must be investigating the truth about Lucy Hamilton and Colin Landry’s deaths, aren’t you?
“If you can’t find out who Sirius is, you won’t be able to get to the bottom of what truly happened, and therefore, you’ll never be able to resolve the vengeance between the Lynch and Landry families, but…”
Charlotte lifted her head to stare at Joshua coldly. “If you want to find Sirius, I’m afraid you have to do this on your own.
“I won’t become your secret weapon, nor will I give you any clues on who or where he is.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to send me to prison? Didn’t you say you wanted the justice
system to determine my punishment? Well, do it!
“I don’t want to waste more time talking to you here!”
With that, she struggled to release herself from the two guards holding her down and even shot them a murderous glare. “Come on!”
The two guards never thought that this woman, who just a few minutes ago had been crying for Joshua to let her go, would suddenly become so obedient and even demand them to take her away.
The two of them turned to shoot Joshua a somewhat helpless look.
Joshua furrowed his brows slightly and lifted his hand to rub his brows. “Take her away.
Charlotte had been trying desperately to persuade them to let her go, but as soon as he brought up Sirius, she suddenly changed her mind and wanted to be sent to prison instead.
Clearly, she wanted nothing more than to get out of here.
Luna furrowed her brows and turned to stare at Joshua. “It seems like she does know who Sirius is.”
Joshua nodded and pulled her close to him. “Don’t worry. Even without Charlotte, we’ll be able to find this man.”
The two of them fell silent for a long time in each other’s arms.
Finally, Luna opened her mouth to speak. “Let’s go home.”
Joshua nodded and was about to lead Luna away when his phone rang. “Charlotte has been kidnapped…by the Quinn family!”

The readers' comments on the novel: Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua)
Luna is sooo stupid!...
This story line is sickening… her children, Nellie in particular, do not like Malcolm. She is already married to Joshua, the father of her children who loves her more than Malcolm ever could. Just disgusting....
Another “misunderstanding”…… poor Luna, why can’t she just say the Quinns kidnapped me instead of assuming Joshua is doing the wrong thing. Terrible....
I sure hope Aura gets arrested and pays for her many crimes soon, along with Adrian and Michael. Joshua and Luna need peace with their children....
Joshua is stupid, he says he loves Luna but refuses to tell her the truth thinking he can never recover from all the deceit, if he told the truth he could redeem himself and live a happy life with his family rather than continue to protect a bunch of evil criminals. Terrible decisions by a man who is smart enough to run a multi faceted company....
Omg this author is twisted!! When does Luna catch a break! This is awful. Aurasnd Fiona are evil, evil women and are using the children to commit their crimes 🤬...
And now the author has made it sound like he cares more for Fiona who he has only known a couple of weeks than Luna, his wife, the love of his life. Stupid and pathetically disgusting....
Wow, making Joshua out to be so stupid, ugh. Yes he told this horrible bitch he would accompany her until she died, but she lied about her fake illness so I guess he’ll have to live with her forever! He also promised to love, honor and cherish his wife Luna however seems to forget that with each passing malicious mistress, Aura, Alice and now Fiona. Awful. Let’s get past this into some storyline that involves some happiness for Luna… the only woman who truly cares for and loves him. Get rid of Fiona, soon....
So disgusted with this Fiona storyline, hope it doesn’t last much longer. Joshua told her when they made the deal he had someone in his heart and would not sleep with her. They could be faking a relationship and he doesn’t have to be so nasty to Luna and the kids. It’s heartbreaking and giving him another ridiculous relationship is unnecessary. Just makes more misunderstandings for Luna and harder for her to forgive him....
Joshua is in the wrong, even if Fiona asked him to keep their fake relationship a secret he should have told Luna what was going on. After all, supposedly he lives Luna and the children and is doing this for them. Being deceiving is not working for him....
