Semua Bab Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy: Bab 2381 - Bab 2390

Rosalyn closed her eyes and waited for the pain to engulf her entire body.She heard the splatter of blade piercing skin, but oddly enough, she did not feel the pain she anticipated.The stench of blood filled her nostrils.Rosalyn furrowed her brows and opened her eyes.A familiar hand was gripping the blade, just inches away from her face, and her eyes widened in recognition."Charles!"The man who had gripped the knife with his bare hands, preventing it from hurting her, was none other than Charles, her husband and head of the Landry family.Bright red blood seeped out from between Charles' fingers and dripped down, splattering onto Rosalyn's legs.In a split second, her white dress had been stained with blotches of red."Are you going to continue struggling, Butler Fred?" the clear voice of a man rang out seconds after Rosalyn's scream of surprise.It was Jim.Rosalyn lifted her head to glance in Butler Fred's direction.At this exact moment, Joshua managed to subdue Mi

Butler Fred froze in his steps upon hearing this.He turned and fixed his crazed gaze disdainfully on Luna's face. "To be frank, your father, mother, brother, and even your husband are all clever. You're the only idiot in the family."He sneered and continued, "Do you honestly think I didn't notice how strangely you were behaving that day? Or did you somehow think that your mother's drug warehouse—filled with some of the most dangerous poisons in the world—would be so easy to break into? If Mickey were so easily defeated, the drug warehouse would've been broken into plenty of times by now."Luna could not help clenching her fists upon hearing this, digging her nails into her palms. "So I'm right, aren't I? You and Charlotte have been in on it all along, right?"Butler Fred snickered. "Of course. If it weren't for me, how would Charlotte have known to target you, the most naive person in the family? How would she have known to use the children to threaten you into getting her what s

"What you're saying is…" After a long moment of silence, Charles lifted his head to stare intently at Jim's face. "When you first started working for Landry Group, you were brainwashed by Butler Fred and Mickey into committing these acts of treachery?"He furrowed his eyebrows and added, "But even though it was seven or eight years ago, Rosalyn and I had still treated you well, hadn't we, Jim? If so, why would you be persuaded by Butler Fred into betraying our family? Besides, even if he had successfully talked you into doing these, what happened after that?"Charles raised his uninjured hand and snatched the documents out of Jim's hand. There was a hint of fury in his wizened gaze as he glared at Jim. "All these papers show that the companies registered under your name are still in business until now. Not only that, but they're becoming more and more successful by the day!"Rosalyn and I can understand when you say you were brainwashed and didn't know better. After all, every one o

"Well…"Jim lifted his head to meet Charles' gaze head-on. "I realized that even though the companies I owned outside of Landry Group were small, they brought in considerable income for me."I wanted to stand on my own feet by building my career while helping run Landry Group at the same time."Charles narrowed his eyes and sneered upon hearing this. "And why is that? Do you somehow think that Landry Group isn't good enough for you anymore?""Not at all." Jim leaned against the back of his chair lazily and explained, "I just knew exactly where I stood. Even though Mother had always treated me as her own for many years, I knew full well that this wouldn't change the fact that I'm not her son, and that I don't have the right to inherit Landry Group. Therefore, no matter how hard I worked, none of this would be mine."He curled his lips into a bitter smile. "Initially, I thought Heather was your daughter, but unfortunately, she was not at all suitable to take over Landry Group, which

"You don't have to blame yourself for what happened to Bonnie, Mother," Jim interrupted Rosalyn before she could even finish her sentence.His gaze became distant as he continued, "I know that you were the one who produced the poison that landed Bonnie in this coma."Yesterday…I went to visit Nikki at the police station in secret, and she revealed that my mother Lucy had intended to use this poison to take her life."After coming out of the police station, I investigated the clinic from which Lucy got the poison, and I discovered that…the doctor who gave her the drug was a friend of yours."He turned to stare at Rosalyn. "You were the one who produced the drug, weren't you, Mother?"He let out a bitter chuckle and added, "I should've guessed. Who else in Merchant City would be capable of producing such a lethal poison apart from you, Mother?"Still, you had no idea that the doctor had requested this poison from you on Lucy's behalf, and you didn't know that Lucy would have a chan
