As soon as Joshua got closer, he could smell the stench of blood.
A few steps more, Joshua caught sight of Luna, retching on the ground, and a few guards keeping
watch over her.
The ringtone seemed to be coming from the balcony behind Luna.
Joshua furrowed his brows and strode toward the balcony.
One of the guards caught sight of him and quickly stopped him. “Sir, a murder has occurred here, so
you…”
A murder?
Joshua narrowed his eyes, circled past the guard, and strode toward the balcony—
The sight before him made Joshua frown.
He turned his head away and asked calmly, “What happened here?”
The guard fell silent, then turned to glance at Luna and said tentatively, “We received a call saying that
someone had gotten hurt on the balcony, and when we arrived here…we saw Ms. Luna and the
woman that had died…holding onto each other. The woman was even choking Ms. Luna and
demanding to know why she wanted to kill her…
“And then, Ms. Luna shoved the woman away, and this was what happened after that…”
With that, the guard blocked the entryway to the balcony to stop Joshua from seeing anything more.
“We’ve already called the cops.”
Joshua furrowed his brows and turned to glance at Luna. He was about to say something when Jim
and Charles suddenly arrived.
The two of them stormed over and, seeing that Luna was retching on the ground, covered in blood,
thought that Joshua had done something terrible to her.
Jim pulled Luna into his arms, whereas Charles glared at Joshua. “What did you do to her?”
Joshua narrowed his eyes. “Why don’t you ask your daughter what she did to my girlfriend?”
Both Charles and Jim froze when they heard this. The two of them exchanged a glance and lifted their
heads to look at Joshua at the same time. “Your girlfriend?”
“Yes.” Joshua pointed toward the balcony. “You’ve seen her before, Master Landry. She’s the one who
came to the wedding with me tonight.
“Now, Luna has killed her, and her abdomen has been split open, so how dare you even ask me what I
did?”
Jim’s entire body froze.
Charles, on the other hand, did not believe him at all.
He got up and was about to take a look when Joshua stopped him. “You’d better not go, Mr. Landry.
You wouldn’t want to have a heart attack and cause even more trouble tonight, would you?”
Charles furrowed his brows and was about to shove past Joshua when Luna, who was slumped in
Jim’s arms, said weakly, “Don’t go…”
Even a healthy person like her ended up like this after witnessing what had happened. If Charles were
to take a look, he could really suffer a heart attack!
As soon as Jim heard this, he let go of Luna and went to take a look.
He returned, his legs weak and holding onto the wall for support. “It…It can’t possibly have been Luna.”
He waved his hands and shook his head furiously. “Even if she were to kill someone, she couldn’t have
done this…”
The guard standing nearby pursed his lips and said, “But…it was her who did it…”
Jim raised his brows. “Who said that?”
The guard replied, stammering, “The…the dead body…said it herself.”
Jim suddenly felt his world go dark, and he almost lost his balance.
All of a sudden, police sirens blared outside the building.
