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
Aura ended the call in low spirits, turned and sat on the bed, then switched on the television. The news was on. “The second son of the Lynch family, Michael Lynch was jailed for a month for intentionally causing harm. When he was released this morning, he stated that he would turn over a new leaf from now on…”Watching the news, Aura’s eyes brightened. She crawled up off the bed and hurriedly dialed Michael’s number.…“Director Luna, everyone’s going out for dinner and drinks tonight, are you coming?” In the design department at the Lynch Group. The moment the workday was over, Shannon stuck her head in the crack of the door to Luna’s office. “You’ve been working so hard for the past month; you deserve a rest. Relax a little.” Luna chuckled but shook her head. “No, thank you, my son is getting re-examined today, I want to check up on the results.”Shannon sighed and took her head out of the door. For the past month since Luna returned to work, every day all she did was wo
Luna’s eyebrows screwed tightly together at Michael’s words from the other end of the phone.Michael was in the villa right now, waiting for her so he could apologize face-to-face?! Even though he said it was the old lady’s idea, somehow, she felt he was harboring not-so-innocent motives. She pursed her lips and lowered her voice. “I’m busy now, I might be home late.”“It’s fine.” On the other end of the phone, Michael took a deep breath. “I’ll wait, till whatever time you come home. Granny said…if I don’t apologize to you face-to-face today and record a video as proof, she would allow me back into the Lynch Mansion. So no matter what time you come home, I’ll wait.” There was a hitch in her breathing. She did not continue speaking but instead ended the call immediately. Hearing Michael said he would wait for her the entire night made her feel like spending the night at Anne’s place instead.“Mommy, maybe you should go home.” Beside her, Neil sighed quietly, then reached out and
The woman shifted her eyes onto Michael and glanced at him indifferently. "Didn't you say you wanted to record a video? The streetlights were so dim just now, even if the video was recorded, the old woman would have a hard time seeing anything.”Only then did Michael realize that Luna had been ignoring him before, because she wanted to find a place with a good source of lightning. He snorted from the bottom of his heart and cursed her for being so particular with detail. However, as soon as the lights came on, he could clearly see Luna's long legs wrapped in black trousers and her slim figure hidden under the windbreaker.The man looked at her, his eyes stained with desire. He thought of what Aura had promised him. If tonight, he could... No matter how low he had to bend his bend, it was worth it!Thinking of this, he hurriedly stuffed the bouquet of flowers into Luna's hand, and placed his phone on a stand as he praised her, "Ms. Luna, you’re really kind. This is the first time I
