Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1617
The color drained from Vivian’s face as soon as she heard this. She bit her lip and lowered her head in
defeat. “I…”
Finally, Vivian let out an exhale and kneeled in front of Luna, coming clean with the truth, “Joshua Lynch
wasn’t the one who had sent me here.
“I was assigned to work here by Mr. Malcolm Quinn. When Master Landry was interviewing the
candidates for the servant that would be working for you, Master Quinn ordered me to interview as well,
and I managed to get in.
“Everything that I have done during this time was under Master Quinn and Ms. Heather’s orders.
“Master Quinn was the one who had told me to prepare the baby and Ms. Luna’s blood and hairs. He
said that…”
Slumped on the ground, Vivian shot Malcolm a timid glance, then finally lowered her head and said with
an exhale, “He said that he was worried Joshua Lynch would take the baby away after it was born and
that no one would be able to find it again, so he ordered me to collect the baby’s hairs and blood as soon
as it was born.
“However, neither Master Quinn nor I expected that your baby would die…
“As for the baby’s cries and the children’s clothes, Ms. Heather was the one who had ordered me to
prepare them
…she said that she couldn’t allow you to get over your grief of losing your child so quickly.”
At this point, Vivian’s head was so low that her entire body was almost touching the ground. “Inside the
banking card is all the money that Master Quinn had given me.
“Ms. Heather was the one who had given me the ointment this morning to apply onto Mrs. Landry’s back,
but Master Quinn told me to wait until his orders before I start applying.
“Today, after finding out that Mr. Lynch had stopped by, Master Quinn ordered me to put the ointment
onto Mrs. Landry after he left…”
With that, Vivian grew so scared that she could not stop banging her head against the ground to beg for
Luna’s mercy. “Ms. Luna, I’m sorry, I really am! I shouldn’t have taken Master Landry’s money, then
accepted Master Quinn’s bribery to help him do all things, nor should I have accepted Mr. Lynch’s money
and blamed him for all the bad things I did…”
As soon as she heard this, Luna took a few steps back, almost losing her balance.
Thankfully, Joshua quickly caught her before she could fall.
Luna stared, trembling, at the maid she had trusted with all her heart. “You… You had been taking care
of Mother for so long. You should know how much suffering she’s going through in her state! Yet, you still
applied this medication to her body and attempted to kill her.
“Vivian, the problem with you isn’t that you took money from anyone, nor was it that you obeyed the
wrong commands.
“Your biggest sin is your lack of sympathy toward a human being!”
Vivian started sobbing as she kneeled on the ground.
Jim furrowed his brows and glanced impassively at Luke, standing a distance away. “You’re the head
honcho of Merchant City; what would you do if one of your subordinates committed a crime like this?”
Luke curled his lips into a small smile. “I would kill him.
However—”
He glanced at the kneeling woman and continued, “What a pity to kill such a young woman like her. Why
don’t we do it like this?”
With that, he glanced at the man standing next to him, then lowered his head to glance at the time. “The
time between the first application of the ointment and when Luna realized something was wrong was
about twelve hours. Take the remaining ointment and apply it onto that servant, then lock her up, so that
the ointment will work for twelve hours, before releasing her.”
Finally, Luke raised his brows, glancing at Jim. “What do you think?”
Jim curled his lips into a smirk. “Thank you and your men in advance.”
“No—” As soon as she heard Luke and Jim’s conversation, Vivian’s entire body began to shake like a
leaf. She quickly crawled over to Luna and grabbed hold of her pant leg. “Ms. Luna, Ms. Luna! Please
save me!”
She was crying so hard at this point that her voice sounded different. “I don’t want my skin to decay!”
She had clearly seen the way Rosalyn’s back looked.
