Chapter 1709

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy by Inked Snow

Lucas’ jaw dropped in shock.

It turned out that…the fingerprint left on the murder weapon was not that of a right index finger.

This was just a piece of false information leaked out by Joshua and the police to lure the murderer.

The murderer would surely try to destroy any evidence pointing toward them as soon as they found out
about the fingerprint.

Therefore, anyone who was desperate to get rid of the finger that had allegedly left behind a fingerprint
at the scene of the crime would be the murderer!

As soon as he thought of this, Lucas could not help admiring Joshua’s intelligence. He raised his
thumbs at Joshua and said, ”What a great plan, Sir!”

Joshua shot him an impassive glance but did not reply.

Lucas meekly pulled his hand back and continued, ” Well, Sir, since we already know that Hunter Quinn
was the one who had killed Cheryl…would the police take any action?

”Will Ma’am be able to get released from jail after the police arrest Hunter?”

Joshua narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to toy with his phone. ”I don’t intend to let her out at
this moment.”

Heather and Charles had just handed over Landry Group to Jim and Luna, and there would surely be
plenty of things to take care of during this time.



Considering that Luna did not have any experience running a company, she would face many
challenges, but Jim was different.

Jim had been running Landry Group since more than a year ago before he eventually quit his job.

Therefore, Joshua did not want Luna to get released from jail at a time like this.

At least, he wanted to wait until Jim had successfully segregated some of the Quinn Group’s assets
from that of Landry Group’s before releasing Luna so that she would not have to deal with so much
bothersome stuff.

However, Lucas did not understand this at all.

That evening, Lucas was talking with his girlfriend on his phone as he ate dinner at the restaurant on
the ground floor of Lynch Group Tower. He could not help lamenting as he told this story to his
girlfriend, ”I guess love is always selfish; even President Lynch is no exception. Even after knowing
who the real murderer is now, he still wants to keep Ma’am locked up in jail for his benefit.

”I know he doesn’t want Ma’am to become his opponent in the future, but won’t doing this make her
hate him even more? I don’t understand what he’s trying to do…” Lucas said as he ate.

In a corner of the restaurant, a woman with sunglasses curled her lips into a smirk as she tucked her
phone away.

She put on a cap and mask and exited the restaurant, disguising herself in the shadows.

The woman hailed a taxi, leaned against the backseat, and said, ”Driver, go to the police station.

The driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror and said, smiling, as he started the engine, ”
Miss, what are you doing, wearing sunglasses at



night like this? You’re so covered up and even heading to the police station; are you going there to turn
yourself in?”

The woman leaned against the backseat lazily and said, ”Why can’t I wear sunglasses at night?”

Her tone was so icy that the driver could not help shuddering upon hearing it. ”Nothing. I was making
small talk, that’s all.

”I just think you seem like a beautiful lady, so I was wondering why you’d cover yourself up like this…”

”You think I’m beautiful?” The woman curled her lips into a smirk as she removed her cap and
sunglasses, revealing her face that was covered in multiple scars. ”Do you still think I’m beautiful now?

When the driver caught sight of the woman’s face i n the rearview mirror, he was so startled that he
almost lost control of the steering wheel.

The car jerked for a split second.

However, the woman seemed to be used to this reaction. She put on her cap and sunglasses gracefully
and said, ”Keep your eyes on the road and your nose out of other people’s business.”

The driver nodded, his face pale, and did not dare to say another word.

The car soon arrived at the police station.

After the woman got out of the car, the driver zipped away into the night without even taking her money.

She curled her lips into a sneer as she watched the car disappear, then turned and strode into the
police station.
