Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 417
Old Mr. Walter’s face instantly turned terribly pale. Alice’s expressions did not look too good either.
After a while, Old Mr. Walter wiped away his tears. “ Joshua, what do you mean by that? Do you think I
would hurt my own daughter?“
Joshua’s gaze was flat. “I said nothing of those sorts. I only want to know, since before Hailey jumped,
you saw her and talked to her. As her father, did you notice her mood swings? Or perhaps you didn’t
even notice her emotions?“
Old Mr. Walter’s expressions turned uglier upon Joshua’s words.
“W-What… what are you trying to say?“
“What I mean is,“ Joshua smiled and said, “Hailey’s mental health is too weak. Perhaps you did not pay
attention to her mental well-being. The last person Hailey saw before she jumped was you, Uncle
Dennis. That meant that you were the only possible person to stop her from jumping. You can’t blame
anyone else.“

other.“
Then, under the stunned gaze of everybody, Joshua turned around and pulled Luna away.
Watching the both of them leaving, Old Mr. Walter gritted his teeth hard.
No wonder Alice treated Luna as her main rival. Joshua’s favoritism toward her was too obvious.
At that thought, he turned to look at Alice, who was nearby.
Alice inconspicuously shook her head at him. Then, she smiled and approached him.
“Uncle Dennis, don’t be angry at Joshua. He is just trying to protect his staff.“
Joshua dragged Luna out of the memorial service and directly into the car.
In the backseat, Joshua closed the car door and furrowed his brows tightly.
“I ‘m sorry. “ Luna moved her body toward the car door a little. “I was just quite shocked that a person
suddenly died, so I followed you to pay my respects. I never would have thought…“
“It’s not your fault.“
Before Luna could finish her sentence, Joshua calmly interrupted. “Hailey’s death is not that simple.“
Luna paused a little. She subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at him. “What do you mean?“
Joshua swept her a glance. “As I said just now, Hailey called me before she died. She said that she had
something important to tell me, but before she could tell me, Old Mr. Walter interrupted her. Then, she
hung up the phone. At first, I thought that they were putting on an act, they wanted to let Hailey stay in
Sea City. I never would have thought…“
Joshua’s eyes narrowed a little. “The Walters are hiding something from us. I deliberately mentioned the
call to Old Mr. Walter. If Hailey’s death had nothing to do with the call, he would not have avoided it.“
Luna was so stunned she was rendered speechless.
After a while, she turned and looked out of the window. “Perhaps, you are just overthinking this? No one
would… kill their own daughter. No matter what their children do, a parent would not be able to kill their
own flesh and blood.“
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPerhaps, Luna might not understand the feeling a parent has for their children previously, but after giving
birth to Nigel, Neil, and Nellie, she was sure that no parents on this earth would be that cruel.
Joshua smiled. He looked at her mockingly. “You’ve never had any children, how would you know that
parents would not be able to kill their own children?“
Luna furrowed her brows. She instinctively retorted, “How would you know whether I had children or not?
I…“
She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly remembered her current identity.
Thus, Luna cleared her throat and turned her head aside. “It’s true. I never had any children.“
Joshua squinted his eyes and looked at her suspiciously for a long time at her reaction.
After a while, Joshua sneered, “There might be another possibility.“
”What is it?”
”This might not be the real Hailey Walter.”
