Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2166

When Lucas reached Joshua's house, the living room was so cold that it felt like they were in an igloo.

Joshua was sitting on the couch, watching Lucas walking in with his cold eyes.

Meanwhile, Nigel was beside him, using his laptop for something, and the anxious Luna frantically typed away on her phone.

The atmosphere was so cold that it could easily suffocate a person.

Lucas braced himself to approach them and greeted, "Mr. Lynch."

After giving Lucas a brief response, he threw the documents at Lucas. "Do you remember Laura Suess, the family physician that you chose? You said that you’ve conducted a background investigation and reference checks, yes?"

Lucas was stunned as he hurriedly picked up the documents that had fallen to the floor. He compiled it in order and started to skim through the pages.

When he saw the information that Granny Quinn was the one who sponsored Laura to further her study and the close relationship between Laura and the Quinn family, his body shivered.

Then, along with an audible thump, Lucas fell to his knees on the floor. "Mr. Lynch, I... It's my fault. I-I am to be blamed. I didn’t investigate fully."

Joshua narrowed his eyes and did not say anything as he watched the way Lucas knelt.

"Lucas, it's unlike you to be so careless. You've always conducted a detailed investigation of every person who comes to work with Joshua. What went wrong with Laura Seuss? Why did you fail to

thoroughly investigate her background?"

Looking at how hopeless Lucas was, Luna could not bear to stand by the side. "You've been working for Joshua for so many years and he’d definitely go easy on you for all that hard work you've contributed, as long as you come clean to us."

Luna's consoling words had Lucas quivering. A second later, he lifted his head and fearfully looked at Joshua, who had been quiet the whole time. "Mr. Lynch..."

Joshua glanced at him lightly, then looked at Luna. In the end, he rubbed between his eyebrows in exasperation. "Listen to her."

Nigel slowly closed the laptop and, with a faint smile on his lips, continued, "You think that there shouldn't be a problem with your girlfriend's recommendation, so you let your guard down. Uncle Lucas, should I say that you're too naive, or that you're head over heels for your girlfriend?"

Nigel's comments left Lucas stranded in despair. His forehead was beaded with sweat, and he was at a complete loss for words.

Lucas was solely at fault for this chaos.

He just never expected Laura had a close relationship with the Quinn family.

"I'll give you a chance to make up for your mistake," Joshua finally decided, his lips curled into a small smile, though his gaze toward Lucas seemed indifferent. "Contact your girlfriend now and tell her that I have the whole city on lockdown to search for Laura. Also, tell her that this woman is a bad person."

The command from Joshua left Lucas silent for a moment before he hastily nodded. "Understood! I'll get to it now!"

Once Lucas left and faded from view, Nigel lifted his head and looked at Joshua, visibly unsatisfied.
