Chapter 2168
Jim furrowed his brows and stood up, moving to another spot so he could answer the call.
Before he could take another step forward, however, Harvey grabbed the hem of Jim’s top.
“Daddy, didn’t you just tell me that you’ve made up your mind to be with Mommy? Why do you plan on taking this call behind my back now? Are you still thinking about searching for Number 9?”
Even though Jim had never told Harvey about Number-9, Harvey grew up together with June, and Christopher, the girl’s father, was a parent who treated June like a friend.
Hence, no matter what June asked, Christopher would tell June if he felt that June could understand.
Christopher, thus, must have told June about Number-9.
Since June knew about Number-9’s existence, there was no reason that Harvey did not know about her.
Harvey clearly heard Assistant Lowe mention the children’s home from the other line, so he knew that this call must have been about Number-9.
Jim’s brows furrowed at Harvey’s words and stern expression
Jim was silent for a good few seconds before he sighed and sat back down on the sofa next to Harvey.
Then, he switched the call to speaker mode.
“Assistant Lowe, what new information do you have?”
Assistant Lowe paused for a second before he began his report, “I contacted Mr. Duncan’s daughter.
She grew up in the children’s home too and had many memories with children living there.
Moreover, she is still in contact with most of the people on the name list.
Although she’s not sure what name Number-9 goes with at present, she can use her identity to help you ask around…”
After finishing that, Assistant Lowe took a deep breath.
“She…also asked me something.
Do you know anything else about Number-9, apart from the fact that that’s her number and that red was her favorite color?”
Jim furrowed and muttered to himself, “Other information…”
He narrowed his eyes and suddenly thought of the birthmark on Number-9’s shoulder.
She could throw away a token, and her favorite color might not be red anymore.
She could even forget her name, too.
The birthmark on her shoulder, however, could not be erased.
Even Charlotte, who knew Number-9 so well that she could pretend to be her, did not know about this birthmark.
Jim had noticed the birthmark because he had helped Number-9 wrap up her wound on the shoulder when she had a fight with another child.
Thinking of this, Jim furrowed said, “Number-9 has a birthmark on her shoulder.
It’s on the right side, in fact.”
Assistant Lowe quickly recorded down the information and repeated, “So, Ms.
Number-9 has a birthmark on the side of her shoulder, yes? Do you remember the shape of the birthmark?”
Jim pressed on his brows.
It looked terrible.”
Despite the unsightly shape and color, however, Jim could never forget it since it was Number-9’s birthmark.
Assistant Lowe nodded.
“Have you any more that I should note, Mr. Landry? I will record them all.”
Jim’s brows furrowed in deep thought.

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....
