Chapter 1716

Heather snickered. ”Do you think that after I’m temporarily kicked out of the Landry family, you’ll be able
to make Jim take you back by sucking up to the new heiress of the Landry family?

”Charlotte, you should go look at yourself in the mirror. Anyone who looks at you will be terrified at a
single glance, so how dare you even think Jim would still like you?

”Oh, by the way—” Heather suddenly inched closer to Charlotte’s ear, grinning as though she had
suddenly recalled something. ”You probably don’t know this, but Jim has a new girlfriend now, and she
even bore him a daughter not too long ago.”

Heather continued in a low voice filled with contempt as she stared at Charlotte’s face, ”Jim’s current
girlfriend is Luna’s best friend, and Luna was the one who had introduced them.”

A glimmer of malice shot through Charlotte’s eyes when she heard this.

Heather patted her shoulder with a small smile and said, ”If I were you, I wouldn’t have returned to
embarrass myself. You claim to love Jim so much,

but I know the reason you returned was to get your hands on the Landry family fortune.

”If you truly loved him, you wouldn’t have hid for more than six years.”

With that, she strode away, cackling. ”Charlotte, do you honestly think you can be a match for me now,
after what happened six years ago? In your dreams!

Charlotte remained motionless, her gaze filled with hatred as she watched Heather leave.

One day, she would destroy this woman!

When Heather disappeared from view, Charlotte finally let out an exhale, suppressed her rage, and
entered the police station.



The policeman on duty still remembered her from the night before and handed her the visitation

form, thinking she was here to visit Luna again. ” Same as yesterday; you’ll have to fill this up before you
can go in to see her.”

However, Charlotte curled her lips into a small smile and replied, ”I’m not here to visit Luna; I’m here to
turn the culprit in.”

The policeman raised his brows. ”Turn the culprit in?”

Charlotte nodded and said in a loud voice, ”I’ve found out who the real culprit of the murder at Starhill
Hotel was.”

All the police officers in the room exchanged nervous glances when they heard this.

Finally, one of them called his superior and said, ” Sir, there seems to be…a significant breakthrough in
the murder of Cheryl Martin.”

Half an hour later, inside a meeting room in Lynch Group Tower, Joshua’s room began to ring non- stop.

Joshua paused the meeting, frowning, and picked up the phone. ”What’s wrong?”

The chief of police sounded excited as he exclaimed, ”Mr. Lynch, we have concrete evidence proving
that Ms. Luna wasn’t the one who had killed Cheryl Martin now! The real culprit was Hunter Quinn, the
second heir of the Quinn family!”

Joshua furrowed his brows upon hearing this. He toyed with his pen as he asked, ”What did you use to
confirm this? The fingerprint?”

”No.” the chief of police let out an exhale and explained, ”Actually, apart from the news of the fingerprint,
we had kept a vital piece of information to ourselves and didn’t release it to the public out of concern for



the victim’s privacy, and this evidence is…

”Before the victim died, the murderer had raped her, and there was tear wound on her body.

”This morning, a woman came in with a condom that she had found near the railing of the balcony that
contained both the victim and murderer’s bodily fluids.”

Joshua’s hand, which was holding the phone, stiffened when he heard this. He asked in a hoarse voice,
”When are you guys going to arrest him?”

”We’re already on our way, and after we capture him and confirm he was the real culprit, we’ll release
Ms. Luna from prison.”
