Jim fell silent upon hearing this.
He knew that Joshua was right. To find the person who tried to kill Bonnie, they had to do more than find the poison used.
They would have to obey Joshua‘s plan and make it evident that they had sought out Malcolm, then release him as though nothing had happened. That way, the mastermind behind all this would become flustered and eventually find a way to get rid of Malcolm to prevent herself from being exposed. With this, they could use Malcolm as bait to lure the person into the light. At the thought of this, Jim scoffed and glared at Malcolm. “You got lucky this time!”
Then, he turned and stomped away. After Jim left, Joshua glanced impassively at Malcolm, then ordered Lucas, “Get the news out there about Malcolm‘s interrogation and make it clear that we released him, even though he didn‘t offer us any useful information.”
Lucas nodded obediently. “Yes, Sir.”
Joshua turned to smile at Malcolm. “Good luck.”
With that, he left.
Staring at Joshua‘s retreating figure, Malcolm finally managed to put two and two together. By releasing him, Joshua placed him in a far more dangerous position than before. Even though he did not admit anything to them during the interrogation, they still let him go anyway! That woman would never believe this.
She would find a way to get in touch with him to find out what happened. Worst case scenario? She might even resort to killing him… . Malcolm broke out into cold sweat at the thought of this. He slumped onto the ground weakly, unable to understand how he had gone from Malcolm Quinn, the heir of Quinn Group, to such a lowly position in a matter of months.
He had become nothing but a pawn in Joshua and Jim‘s game. This…was even worse than death!
At the hospital.

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....
