The entire room fell into silence upon hearing Joshua’s words.Everyone, both onstage and below the stage, stared at Joshua in shock.Adrian could not help letting out a chuckle when he saw how confident Joshua looked. He stared coldly at Joshua and said, “You’re the one who brought a murderer along, yet you claim you’re here to send me to hell? That’s my job, but I haven’t even started yet!”He pointed at Joshua and snapped in an angry, contemptuous tone, “You two! One of you killed my beloved, most respected mother, and the other insisted on performing an autopsy to disrespect her corpse!“The reason you did this is that my mother wanted to assign half of Lynch family’s inheritance to Michael and me while she was gravely ill! You wanted the money all to yourself, so you killed her before she could even amend the will. Not only that, but you performed an autopsy so that her corpse wouldn’t be whole again.“Joshua Lynch, how dare you even bring up hell in front of me? If anyone is
“The two of them fabricated evidence to suggest that my mother died during labor, but in reality…”Joshua pointed at the witness statement that the doctor, whom Adrian had bribed, made. “It was Adrian who had bribed the doctor so that he could murder Ms. Rianna.”The crowd erupted into a flurry of activity at this discovery.Everyone stared at Joshua in shock.Anyone in Banyan City who was more than a certain age would remember Joshua’s mother, Rianna. Even though she was not from Banyan City, she had once been the most beautiful bride in the city.After getting married to Adrian, she had helped him with a lot of stuff and even started her own business.Even though it had been many years since her passing, every time anyone mentioned her name, everyone would lament her early death. Everyone thought that Joshua’s intelligence in business was definitely inherited from Rianna.However, no one knew that Adrian and Celia were the ones who had plotted Rianna’s death!Adrian furrowed
The color drained from Michael’s face.It turned out that that old hag had swallowed the missing piece from his bandage!He had initially thought the missing piece fell off while the nurse was changing his dressing and even scolded the nurse for this. After all, this was a bandage made from a special material that only he would be able to use in the entire Banyan City. This was a symbol of respect!However, to his surprise…the missing piece was inside Granny’s stomach. What a cunning old hag! She had to cause them trouble even after she died!“This is a false accusation!” As soon as he saw how pale Michael’s face had turned, Adrian knew immediately that Joshua was telling the truth. However, he still did not want to admit his defeat. “Joshua, please don’t think that you can frame Michael for murder just because you found some evidence like this! Michael has always been a timid, down-to-earth boy. He wouldn’t kill anyone, much less his own grandmother!”With that, he shot Luna, w
Did this belong to that young boy?Bonnie furrowed her brows as she picked up the pendant and stuffed it into her pocket. That boy had helped Luna and Joshua, after all. Besides, she remembered his face instantly. As soon as this was over, she would send one of her men to find him so she could return his pendant.Meanwhile, on the stage...Adrian and Michael were unnerved by the young boy’s sudden statement, but Adrian was still unwilling to admit the truth. “How can we possibly believe a child’s foolish claims?”“In that case, would you like to listen to a certified coroner’s conclusion?” Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and clicked on a video.It was a video involving several coroners together. Besides determining that Granny Lynch had indeed ingested the bandage of her own accord, the coroners gave another conclusion: the DNA extracted from the blood on the bandage belonged to Michael. Michael and Adrian’s faces turned an even paler shade of white.“Do you have anything
Not only was Luna shocked by Adrian’s actions, but even Michael, whom the policemen were handcuffing in the distance, was rendered speechless by this. He never thought that even after obeying Adrian’s commands to kill the old hag for the family inheritance…his father would betray him.Not only did Adrian slap him while he was about to be taken away by the police, but Adrian tried to display his loyalty to Joshua!Michael glowered at Adrian and yelled, “How dare you feign innocence like this? Everything I did was according to your plans! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have killed Granny! Mr. Police, please lock him up! He’s the mastermind behind this murder! Lock him up!”Adrian scoffed. “What nonsense!”“I’m not talking nonsense!” Michael was so outraged that he struggled free from the policeman’s grasp, lunged toward Adrian, and started beating him up.The stage erupted into chaos immediately.Meanwhile, all the reporters beneath the stage sprang into action and started tak
“Initially, I wanted to help you, since we’re sisters, after all. “As long as Luna died, the real heiress of the Landry family won’t be able to return, but now…“It’s all my fault. I already knew how incompetent you were, yet I still let you take on such a challenging task. Now, you have no other way of getting out… If Joshua comes searching for you, you won’t be able to hide from him in Banyan City.“Even though I’m your sister, I’m too far away, and I can’t help you much…”Aura bit her lip when she heard this. “Don’t worry, Sis.”She narrowed her eyes and continued, “If I’m going to die, I’ll drag Luna and her three rascals down with me!”The woman on the other end of the line sniffed. “But Aura, I still want you to come home alive…”Aura narrowed her eyes but did not reply. Instead, she hung up the phone. When she hung up, the camera on the TV screen had shifted onto Joshua, who had one arm wrapped around Luna’s shoulder tenderly. He was talking about hosting a memorial s
Lynch Mansion.Alfred, the butler, was instructing some of the servants to decorate the venue.A van arrived to deliver white flowers for the service.A female driver wearing a cap and face mask got out of the driver’s seat and handed the receipt of the goods to Alfred.Alfred glanced at the invoice, then instructed the servants to confirm the order amount. As he was doing this, he frowned and glanced at the driver. “Why are you dressed like this?”The driver lowered her voice and let out a small cough. “I have the flu, and I heard that there will be many people here at the memorial service, so I didn’t want to spread it to anyone.”As soon as he heard this, Alfred took a small step back and maintained a safe distance from her.The servants soon finished counting the vases of flowers. Alfred signed the receipt, handed the driver a payment slip, and directed her to the accounting department in the backyard.Aura, dressed in a cap and face mask, turned and entered Lynch Mansion,
“My father…has never fulfilled his responsibility of a father, and instead, always backstabbed me.”With that, he turned around and added, “Still, there is one piece of good news: he finally confessed the location where he had hidden Aura. I’m bringing my men to find her in a while.”Luna paused for a moment, then nodded. “Please be careful.”Joshua curled his lips and murmured a reply. Then, he helped Luna up from her chair and said, “You should go back home with the children and get some rest. I’m guessing that Aura must’ve seen the news about Adrian’s capture, and she must be trying to escape.“However, that place is rural and desolate, and she can’t have gone far. It’s just that it might take some time to find her, so please don’t wait for me.”Luna murmured in approval, then stood up and walked out of the yard with Joshua’s help.It was getting late.After sending off the final florist’s van, Alfred suddenly caught sight of a van that had yet to leave.It had already been
