Chapter 2876
Steven was beginning to get desperate when he saw Mr. and Mrs. Hughes leaving. He stood up and sprinted in their direction, intending to catch them before they left. “There’s no need.” Gwen reached out to stop him. “There’s no need to stop them.” With that, she whispered into her earpiece, “Have your father’s men arrived yet?”
“They have,” said Nigel, letting out a sigh of relief. “Previously, none of us could seem to find Uncle Sean’s exact location.
“The Hughes family had a magnetic interruption device installed in their dungeon, and none of the people we’ve sent, including Uncle Lucas, could navigate their way-the compasses didn’t work.
“However, the moment that woman called, the butler immediately ran into the dungeon to check, and by following him, we managed to find the place they kept Uncle Sean before this. I’m sure that we’ll easily be able to find him by scouring around-they can’t have gone far.”
Nigel could not help adding, “You’re far smarter than I thought, Aunt Gwen!
“I thought that you had blurted out the truth when you tried to stop Mrs. Hughes, but I never knew you’d have done it on purpose to raise her suspicions and make her give away Uncle Sean’s location herself! “I seem to have underestimated you! You’re far smarter than I initially thought!”
Gwen could not help chuckling when she heard this. “Neither Luna nor Joshua are very good with their words, so how could they possibly have given birth to such a sweet-talker like you?”
She could not help sighing as she added, “Your father was the one who taught me this trick.”
Joshua had reminded her before coming that Mr. and Mrs. Hughes were naturally very suspicious people. Since they had committed plenty of crimes during their time, it would be easy to turn their doubts on themselves and make them give away their own plans.
Therefore, he advised her to feed them some information that would easily manipulate them into giving themselves away.
Initially, Gwen did not believe this would work. How could someone be so suspicious to this extent? However, when she finally came face-to-face with Mr. and Mrs. Hughes, she could not help feeling even more respectful of Joshua’s quick wit and intelligence.

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....
