Chapter 1690


    Jim did not have much of a reaction at all. Instead, he just frowned, staring at Joshua. “What on earth


    are you talking about? She’s my sister, so of course I care about her innocence!”


    With that, he let out an exhale. “Even though neither Luna nor I was fond of your secretary, I know that


    Luna would never kill someone. I’m sure you know this better than I do.


    “Besides, I heard from the police just now that they found a fingerprint on the murder weapon, but it


    didn’t belong to Luna.


    “There was no security camera on the balcony, and the only evidence they have is the witness


    statement from the security guards.”


    Jim let out another exhale before continuing, “Luna has just been appointed as the new CEO of Landry


    Group tonight, and she is now at the height of attention here in Merchant City, so we cannot let her go


    to jail.


    “Those security guards’ witness statements cannot prove that Luna was indeed the murderer.


    “When Cheryl’s parents arrive tomorrow, I hope that you, as Cheryl’s boss, canmunicate this


    clearly to them and let them deny that Luna was the murderer and not hold Luna responsible for this.


    Instead, they should request the police investigate the fingerprints of the murder weapon.


    “As long as they make this request, we can bail Luna out even when the police are investigating this.”


    Joshua curled his lips into a smirk when he heard this. He lifted his head to stare coldIy at Jim and


    said, “Does this mean that I have to let Cheryl die in vain?”


    Jim rolled his eyes and said solemnly, “What do you mean, let her die in vain? The police, you, and we


    will all investigate this. The most important thing to do right now is to bail Luna out of jail!”


    “As long as Luna is bailed out, Landry Group will not be as demotivated as they are right now, isn’t it?”


    Joshua interrupted curtly.


    He leaned against a pir and lit himself a cigarette.


    As the smoke rose to shroud his face, he shot Jim a cold nce, then Charles. “I can help you talk to


    Cheryl’s parents, but on one condition.”

    Charles immediately lit up when he heard this.


    Since Joshua was willing to list his conditions, this meant he would help them!


    He was a little excited to hear this. “What condition?”


    Joshua took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring. “I want Luna to resign as CEO of Land ry


    Group, leave the Landry family, and return with me to Banyan City.”


    Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.


    Charles red at Joshua in frustration. “In your dreams! Luna has just been appointed as the new CEO


    and has just given her eptance speech tonight, so how can she resign tomorrow?


    “As for asking her to leave the Landry family, that’s impossible! She’s my biological daughter, and I


    won’t let her leave with you!”


    “Alright, then I guess there’s no deal.” Joshua sneered, tossed his cigarette onto the ground, and put it


    out with his leather shoe. Then, he adjusted the cuff of his white shirt and added, “Truth be told, I’d


    rather you let Luna stay in jail instead of bailing her out topete with me as CEO of Landry Group.


    “At least this way, I won’t have to watch her being forced to stand in opposition against me.”


    With that, he strode toward Lucas. “It seems that after Cheryl’s parents arrive tomorrow, I’ll have to talk


    to them.


    ” I’ll have to tell them not to give up so easily and instead insist on prosecuting Luna at all costs.”
