Chapter 2952
The next morning, Joshua was just about to take a quick nap on the sofa after working the entire night
when his phone rang.
It was Jude.
Joshua picked up, rubbing his eyebrows in exhaustion. "What's wrong?"
"Joshua!" Jude exclaimed from the other end of the line. "Where were you last night?"
Joshua furrowed his eyebrows and glanced at the empty living room. "At home, of course."
Before this, he and Luna had stayed in a rental unit that John helped them book so that their return to
Banyan City would remain a secret, but considering that everyone in Banyan City knew that they
returned and even witnessed Luna attempting murder, Joshua decided not to continue staying at the
rental unit anymore and instead returned home to Blue Bay Villa.
Since Blue Bay Villa had been abandoned for quite some time, he dismissed most of the servants
working there, with only a couple remaining to keep the villa clean and tidy.
It was five in the morning, and the cleaners had yet to arrive, so Joshua was the only one at home.
"You didn't go to the hospital, did you?" Jude asked after letting out an exhale.
Joshua raised his brows at this. "Why would I go there?"
"Jacqueline is dead." Jude sighed. "The nurses found her when they were doing their ward rounds this
morning. Someone yanked off all her equipment and oxygen supply. She...quite literally suffocated to
death."
Joshua's hand stiffened when he heard this. He was silent for a long time before finally asking, "Did
they check the surveillance cameras?"
"Yes, the police did, but not only were the cameras in the hospital all destroyed, but even the ones on
the road outside the hospital were also totally unreadable.
"The police are racking their brains right now, trying to find a motive for the murderer to kill her. They'll
probably get in touch with you soon. After all, you're the person with the biggest motive to kill in the
entire city."
With that, Jude could not help confirming once more. "You're sure you didn't go to the hospital last
night, right?"
Joshua furrowed his eyebrows at this. "I have my villa's surveillance footage as proof."
"That's good, that's good." Jude let out a sigh of relief and patted his chest. "I was worried for a second
that you'd be as impulsive as your wife was. If the two of you wind up in jail, all your businesses and
your three children will end up in my hands."
"Four children now," Joshua corrected him. "We've found our youngest daughter."
"What?" Jude was silent for a moment from the shock, then quickly added," Well, in that case, you'd
better keep your head on. I don't know how to take care of a baby."
"You won't need to." Joshua rubbed his brows in frustration and was about to say something when his
doorbell rang.
"Is that the police?" Jude could not help frowning when he heard the doorbell ring from the other end of
the line. "They just left the hospital; I didn't think they'd arrive so soon." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Joshua furrowed his brows at this. "Talk to you later."
With that, he put down his phone and went to open the door.
A man dressed in black was standing in the rain with his umbrella open. A smile spread across his pale
face when he saw Joshua. "Hello, Joshua." Joshua’s entire body froze when he saw who it was. "You?"
