Nellie continued clutching her throat as she cried out to Nigel, “Quick, help Great-Granny get the water out!”Nigel froze for a moment, then shook his head. “It’s no use anymore…”Great-Granny had been using this jug and glass for almost a year, and Celia was the one who had prepared the water for her during this time. If Celia had intended to poison her…then this day would not have been the first day.“What are you talking about, Joshua?” Celia, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, could not help but frown upon hearing this. She tossed the photos in her hand onto the coffee table and stared at Joshua with an accusatory expression. “We’ve been living in peace all this while, and I was just pouring Granny Lynch and the children some water out of kindness. How could you accuse me of poisoning them as soon as you drip some paint into the water?”Joshua curled his lips into a smirk, then proffered the medicine to her. “Aunty Celia, let me introduce you to this. This is a dru
“Get out of my way!”Adrian knew what was about to happen if he did not escape in time, so he immediately shoved Nigel out of his way. “F*ck off! You’re just as troublesome as your b*tch of a mother!”Nellie immediately widened her eyes upon hearing this. She stared at Adrian in shock, gaping. “Granddad…”Out of all three of Luna’s children, Nellie was the one who was the fondest of Adrian. Adrian had supported Nellie’s love of design in the past and even complimented her talent.After discovering that Luna’s true identity was Moon, he summoned Luna to be Nellie’s teacher. However, at this moment, Adrian had called both Luna and Nigel profanities.Nellie bit down on her lip. Tears streamed down her face soundlessly as she said in a choked, shaky voice, “What am I to you then, Granddad?”Adrian stiffened when he saw the tears trickling down Nellie’s face. He furrowed his brows, but before he could even answer, Granny Lynch shot Alfred a meaningful look, and he slammed the front
“Have you been planning this with the Landry family?”Adrian lowered his gaze but did not reply.Granny Lynch was so agitated that she could not stop coughing and finally spat out a mouthful of blood. “Adrian Lynch! If you don’t answer me right now, I’ll kick you out of the house!”As soon as he heard this, Adrian furrowed his brows and lifted his head to meet Granny Lynch’s gaze. “You’re right. I got this poison from Aura, and I was the one who poisoned you according to Aura’s instructions.”He shrugged and plopped down in the seat across from Granny. “Aura said that the Landrys are still angry at you for chasing them out of Banyan City in the past, so they sent Aura back to take revenge. “Therefore, as long as I cooperate with Aura and administer poison into your food, then take a video of your ill state, Aura will be able to show it to the Landrys and accomplish her mission.”With that, he shrugged nonchalantly and added, “Aura even said that she has the antidote to this, but
Granny Lynch was immediately sent to the hospital.Outside the emergency room, Adrian grabbed onto Joshua’s collar in anger and glared at him. “If anything happens to Mother tonight, I won’t forgive you!”Joshua could not help but curl his lips into a smirk upon hearing this. He lifted his head to stare at Adrian coldly and said, a hint of contempt playing on his lips, “You deliberately let Celia put so much poison in Granny’s drink. Haven’t you been waiting for this day to arrive?“What’s wrong? Why are you so afraid that something bad would happen to Granny? Is it because everything happened so suddenly and didn’t go according to your plan, so Granny didn’t even have time to prepare a will?”Adrian’s face blushed scarlet, then turned white, then blushed again. Then, after a moment, he gritted his teeth and glowered at Joshua. “She’s my mother!”Joshua sneered, then turned around and grabbed Adrian’s collar instead. “Since when did you value family so much, Mr. Lynch? If you real
Even though he and Luna were married, she had never asked Joshua for money and did not like spending his money either.Most of the time, she worked part-time selling her artwork online and did some simple sketches to earn money. Therefore, her monthly income was only several thousand dollars.According to Adrian, this meant that Luna had given him most of her salary. However, he was still unsatisfied and instead thought that Luna had deliberately given him such a measly amount to humiliate him!Joshua clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles cracked. “What right did you have to ask Luna for money?”“She’s my daughter-in-law! You two were so close after your marriage, and you must’ve given her a lot of money! How could she send me off just like that? I didn’t think it was much of a pity even if she died!”Joshua’s fist crashed against Adrian’s face with a slam.This man was involved in Rianna’s death all those years ago, and even though he knew who the mastermind behind Luna’s
Adrian glared at Joshua and strode forward to approach the doctor. “How is she, doctor?”“Don’t worry, she’s out of danger,” the doctor replied. He let out a sigh, glanced first at Adrian, then at Joshua. “It’s just that she’s unconscious now, and from my speculation, the earliest she’ll regain consciousness is in about 6 hours.”The doctor’s words made Adrian’s heart skip a beat. “Then…how about the worst-case scenario?”The doctor shook his head but did not say anything in response.The color drained from Adrian’s face, and he took a step back. No answer. This meant Granny Lynch might not even wake up at all.How could this happen? He had not had the chance to fake her will yet. Joshua was the one who possessed ownership over the entire Lynch family fortune, and even taking a small sum of money from him would be extremely difficult. If Granny Lynch died without a will, Adrian knew that he would not have a single chance to inherit any fortune from the family!Adrian turned aro
After what happened with Granny Lynch, Joshua could not possibly not worry and not blame himself. Most importantly, he felt guilty for what had happened.Ever since he was young, Granny taught him to have a strong heart. Growing up, all he saw was Granny’s cold personality and strong mentality. He never expected that one day…Granny Lynch would become so frail and weak.Luna seemed to sense Joshua’s emotions and suddenly quieted down.She bit her lip, turned around, and wrapped her arms around Joshua. “You still have me with you…”…A sleepless night.The following morning, Luna woke up as soon as the sun rose. She opened her eyes and let out a yawn.She looked around at the foreign environment she was in and frowned.Just as she was about to get up and use the bathroom, she suddenly realized that there were someone else’s arms wrapped around her. Even though she could not see his face, she knew immediately who it was.Luna furrowed her brows.When did Joshua get here? Did
The call from Alfred came as a surprise to Luna. “Are you sure… Granny Lynch wanted to see me?” she asked.In recent years, Luna and Granny Lynch’s relationship had been complicated. Back when she was Luna Gibson, the moment she married Joshua, Granny Lynch treated her like an enemy, with nothing but hatred. She tried all kinds of ways to make Luna’s life difficult, intending to drive her out of the Lynch family.After Luna suffered her accident, underwent plastic surgery, changed her identity to Luna, and brought Neil and Nellie back to Banyan City, Granny Lynch thought she had bad intentions and even helped Aura make Luna’s life difficult, too.Shortly after that… Granny Lynch discovered that she was the same person as Luna Gibson, and as soon as she found out about the things had gone through, she changed her opinion. She no longer mistreated her, and she sometimes even stood up for Luna.However, none of these changed the dynamic of their relationship, and they did not grow clo
