Luna was so shocked that she could not find any words when the people surrounded her and Joshua.Before they arrived, Joshua had told her Adrian had secretly used his name to borrow a lot of money when they were not in Banyan City.Yet, Luna did not think that nearly 80% of the guests who attended the wedding were people to whom Adrian owed money. Those who lent money to Adrian were almost everyone from the upper class from Banyan City!The shocked Luna stared at the scene and grabbed Joshua's hand tightly.Joshua looked at the people who surrounded them indifferently and said, "Are all of you here to attend Adrian and Jacqueline's wedding or here to collect your debt?"It brought silence to the wedding.Not long later, a female shouted out from the crowd, "What's wrong with that? Why can we attend the wedding and also collect our debt at the same time?"The others quickly adhered to her."That's right! We're here to attend the wedding and also collect our money. Is that wrong?
"This wedding is going to be meaningless if I let them deal with Adrian directly."Joshua curled his lips into a smile after reading Luna's mind. He extended his hand out to rub her head. "Let's go. It's been over a year since we last met my father."Luna looked at him confusingly as she could not tell what Joshua had in his plan. Nonetheless, it was not the right time for her to ask about it.She frowned and walked with Joshua toward the stage.…"I told you he's going to be here." Jacqueline looked at Luna and Joshua coldly from the middle of the stage. Hatred flashed in her eyes. "They had to come."If Luna cared about her friend's life, she definitely would show up."Jacqueline, you're amazing!" Adrian got excited when he saw Joshua and Luna attending the wedding. "They're here just like you said! You're amazing!"Jacqueline smiled. "I'm not that amazing, but I know their weaknesses."Luna and Joshua were hypocrites, the type of people who valued friendship and loyalty as
Father."Joshua and Luna were standing in front of the stage.He curled his lips and smiled ambiguously. "It's been a while.""Yes, it has been." Adrian quickly rushed down from the stage and shook Joshua's hand excitedly when he saw Joshua and Luna standing in front of the stage. "You two are really here! Aunt Jacqueline said you were going to be here, but I find it hard to believe…but she's right! You still care about me!"Joshua looked at Adrian. When Adrian said 'Aunt Jacqueline', he frowned.According to their age, Jacqueline and Joshua should be around the same age.'He's marrying someone around my age and expects me to address her as my aunt…' He squinted.Although he was not happy, he still politely looked at Jacqueline. "Ms. Grace."Jacqueline curled up her lips and smiled. "Mr. Lynch, we finally meet."She had worked so hard over the year for this day. Ever since she knew Joshua and Luna were the ones who killed Fiona, she toiled rigorously to meet the nasty couple.
What Joshua said created a ripple effect like when a stone got thrown into a peaceful lake. An uproar appeared among the crowd.Some were worried Joshua was really serious about not helping with Adrian's debt and they needed to go after Adrian. Some were guessing that something happened between Joshua and Adrian. Some even thought Joshua deliberately put on a show and lied about cutting ties with Adrian because he did not want to help with Adrian's debt.All kinds of assumptions and guesses appeared.Luna stood beside Joshua and grabbed his hand tightly. She knew to the others, Joshua looked powerful and mighty but he actually had a soft heart too.He yearned for family bonding. He yearned for Adrian to love and care for him as every normal father would.All these years, he had been trying to bear with Adrian no matter how Adrian hurt him over and over again. Otherwise, it just did not make sense that the only one in jail was Michael after Granny Lynch passed away when Adrian was
Joshua's statement made the entire room go silent as everyone gaped at the pair of men onstage.Everyone in Banyan City knew that Rianna, the most powerful businesswoman in the city at one point, died due to complications during childbirth, and at that time, Adrian even hosted a memorial for her.At her funeral, Adrian cried his heart out, claiming that Rianna was the most selfless woman he had ever met and that she had chosen to give up her life just to continue the Lynch bloodline.This was why even after so many years, everyone in Banyan City was under the impression that Adrian and Rianna were a match made in heaven, and that if Rianna had not died, they would have spent the rest of their lives together, happily ever after. At this moment, however…Joshua's bold statement destroyed everyone's impression. "Mr. Lynch, you can't frame your father with false accusations just to get out of paying our money back!" All of a sudden, someone yelled from among the crowd.The entire ro
A copy of Rianna's medical report while she was pregnant read that her pregnancy had been uneventful and that she could undergo normal vaginal delivery as planned.However, it was Adrian who insisted on letting her go through a Cesarean delivery.Besides that, the doctors also documented the fact that they had warned Adrian of the complications that could arise from a Cesarean delivery due to Rianna's condition, and that the surgery came with a high risk of death, but Adrian did not waver.On the day of Rianna's surgery, she almost died on the table as the doctors predicted, but fortunately, her sister Eanne arrived at the scene just in time and managed to save her life.Rianna was still alive up until this time, but the final medical report documented that she had died of surgical complications.With that, a series of photos from Rianna's funeral appeared onscreen, including pictures of Adrian crying as though he was a child who had lost his favorite toy.However, on the same da
The entire room fell silent when they heard this woman's voice.Everyone turned to gaze in the direction of the voice.At this moment, Celia walked into the room, dressed entirely in white."Who's that?""I think that's Adrian's ex-wife, Celia something…""Is that Celia Giles, the name of the woman written on the hotel records from just now?""Yes, I think that's her! she's the one who slept with Adrian the day of Rianna's memorial!"Celia finally reached the stage among the audience's whispers and alighted the steps until she was standing directly in front of Joshua."Adrian, you claimed that Joshua does not have sufficient evidence to prove himself, didn't you? Well, do you think I'm enough proof?"The entire room erupted into a flurry of activity at this.Adrian turned to glance at the woman standing in front of Joshua, his face pale, and said in a trembling voice, "Celia, you and I have been together for over twenty years, and we've been through thick and thin together. H
Celia froze, unable to understand why Jacqueline had turned on her all of a sudden, and immediately shot Jacqueline another cold glare back. "What did I do, then? Tell me, you brat—what did I do to deserve Adrian sending his men to beat me up like a criminal?"Jacqueline could not help curling her lips into a smirk when she heard this. She took out her phone, pulled up a recording, and pressed play."You brat, I've already told you this—Adrian and I have been together for more than two decades, and if you don't give me enough money, I'll continue to harass the two of you for the rest of your lives! Bitch, I gave birth to Adrian's son for him, and even though Michael is in jail now, you probably don't know that he's in there because he took the blame for his father!"Do you honestly think Michael could've pulled off Granny Lynch's murder all of his own? Well, let me tell you this—if you don't give me two million dollars now, I won't let this go. Not only will I continue harassing Adr
