She did not look as if she was being threatened. He closed his eyes and smiled bitterly. “Granny, do you really think someone like Michael has the right to be my younger brother?” “Whether he has the right or not, he is your brother!” Granny Lynch glared at him coldly, supported herself on her cane and strode toward the door. “It is decided! You and Luna will go and retract your case today! If you don’t, you’re no longer my grandson!”With that, she turned and called out, “Adrian, Celia, let’s go!” Adrian glared at Joshua coldly then left with Celia, both of them supporting the old lady, each on one side. The door closed behind them with a bang. The living room was immersed in silence. Luna stared dazedly in the direction in which the old lady left, then turned and glanced at Joshua. “Why not…I retract the case.” Even though she wanted Michael to rot in jail too, after all, Granny Lynch was the one who brought Joshua up. She was also the only elder he respected in his family t
Because of Granny Lynch and their unwelcome visitors, Luna lost her appetite early in the morning. She prepared breakfast and called Nellie and Nigel to the dining table, then headed to visit Neil and finally pushed Joshua’s door open, balancing the tray of food in her hands.At that moment, Joshua lay at the head of the bed, reading a copy of a medical report. Luna frowned and approached him, taking a peek at the report. To her surprise, it belonged to Granny Lynch. She paused, set the bowl on the tiny table and raised her eyes, glancing at Joshua. “What’s wrong with Granny?” “She relapsed. It happened some time ago, but she never told me.” Luna’s hand that was about to feed him a spoonful of oats paused slightly. “Is it serious?” “Yeah.” Joshua nodded, a hint of exhaustion appearing on his face. “She fell prey to a feuding family many years ago. Because of their extremely low-handed trick, she couldn’t even sit up in bed, but to protect the entire Lynch family, she didn’t
“Everyone, don’t worry, I moved into the Blue Bay Villa for my son, Jake Landry. I will do my best to protect him. The wounds my son suffered after being tortured by Luna are being treated. I will inform everyone the moment the results of his treatment are out.“Luna? Of course she stays here too. Such an evil woman like her, she would definitely take further, more drastic actions against me now that I’m here, but for my child, I’m not afraid.“Alright, if later on, I’m bullied or tortured, I’ll inform everyone immediately, so the public can punish them!” …Sitting in the car, Luna looked at Aura standing at the entrance to the villa and could not help but laugh out loud. The evil ones are always the ones who sound the alarm first. But right now she could not go home. So, she asked the driver to turn around and instead headed to Anne’s house. Anne despised Aura for beating Neil and further insisting on moving into the villa, cursing her out in front of Luna throughout the enti
Looking at Aura’s blatantly arrogant attitude, Luna lifted her lips in a cold sneer and headed upstairs, ignoring her. Standing downstairs, Aura watched as Luna headed upstairs and swept everything on the dining table to the floor in fury! Even in her wildest dreams, she never expected that she would have dug her own grave. She anticipated that Neil would be sent to a specialist hospital to treat his wounds. However, she never expected the moment both she and Adrian worked together to force the old lady into a relapse, Joshua would immediately send the two children away on the excuse that the old lady was sick. Since all three of the bastards were not here, what was the point in her moving in? Theo had been saved and the children were not home. What could she use to continue threatening and working against Luna?At this thought, she gritted her teeth furiously, glanced at the boiling pot of clam chowder, and narrowed her eyes sharply.After Luna headed upstairs, she did not r
Courtney drank the clam chowder excitedly, complimenting Aura as she drank, “Ms. Gibson is so nice! She knows I’m working hard here and even gave me soup!”Luna glanced at Courtney helplessly. Actually, she wanted to say…that maybe Aura wanted to give Luna the bowl of soup…After all, if Aura really wanted to win Courtney over, she would never say something like the soup was for her because it did not taste good. But whatever. She was not interested in the soup either. Very soon, Courtney finished the bowl of soup, bid goodbye to Joshua, then left the villa with a big stack of documents in her arms. After she left, Joshua swept his eyes across at Luna faintly. “Didn’t I tell you not to come to me so often now that Aura is here?”’ Luna glanced at him. “I know. But still, some words need to be said.” She took a deep breath. “I want to say…thank you.” She clutched his hand tightly. “It was my fault for being angry at you for asking Aura to move in. I was too narrow-minded; I did
Joshua’s hand that was holding his phone paused. He raised his head and looked at Luna. “Courtney is sick.” Luna’s entire body trembled. Courtney was sick? But before she left, she was still perfectly fine. Why…Suddenly, the image of Courtney drinking clam chowder appeared before her eyes. If she remembered correctly…Aura asked one of the servants to bring her that bowl of clam chowder. But she never expected that Courtney would think it was a welcome gift from Aura and finished it all. That was why…At this thought, Luna broke up into cold sweat. She could not imagine the consequences if she had drunk that bowl of soup!“Luna.” Ending the call, Joshua kept his eyes fixed on Luna. “I asked the driver to send her to the hospital where both Neil and Theo are. Do you…want to visit her on my behalf?” Luna paused then nodded hurriedly. “Okay.” With that, she stood up in a rush and prepared to head out. The moment her fingers rested on the door handle, the sound of Joshua rummaging
So…it was really caused by that bowl of clam chowder. “But the purpose of the poison was not to kill her.” Dr. Yves looked at the medical records, narrowing her eyes as she said, “There was only a small amount of poison in her bloodstream, it’s not enough to make her ill immediately. But it will accumulate in the body, and once it reaches a certain level of concentration, it will erupt. And when it does, the patient will die, even the best doctors in the world can’t provide a cure.” With that, she flipped open the old lady’s medical records. “Just like this patient, even with the help of all of the best doctors, they’ll only be able to suppress the symptoms, the moment there’s relapse, the patient might die.” Luna was stunned. A moment later, she said hoarsely, “So…the poison that was used on Courtney, and the one Granny Lynch was poisoned with…is the same type of poison?”“Yeah.” The doctor sighed, “Courtney’s situation was an accident, she ate too many fruits in the morning an
Crouching in a flower bed, Luan listened as Aura’s voice drifted further and further away, her mind buzzing with the newfound information. Who was the ‘sis’ that Aura was talking about? Aura also said six years ago, she could trick her into suspecting Joshua tried to kill her. Now, six years later, she could also kill her, while harboring hatred for Joshua. That meant…Joshua was really being honest, the incident six years ago was orchestrated by Aura alone! Now, Aura wanted to commit the same crime, and kill her while hating and blaming Joshua for it. Plus, how Aura tried to poison her tonight, just like how granny was poisoned all those years ago… Just the thought of it chilled Luna to the bone. She wished to rush up to her, pull her down and beat her up, then burn her and scatter her ashes in the wind! But Luna knew very well that she could not do so yet. Firstly, whether six years ago, or right now, Luna had no evidence that Aura was trying to harm her. Secondly, Aura moved
