After a while, Joshua waved his hands. “Please leave.” Lucas nodded, turned, and left. He shut the door on the way out.With eyes narrowed, Joshua looked at the two investigation documents in front of him as he knocked his large hands on the desk. After a while, he smiled bitterly. Putting the two documents together, only one name appeared: Aura Gibson. It was obvious.She wanted Nellie dead. She wanted to get rid of the people who treated her best.Joshua shut his eyes. Aura. She was Luna Gibson’s most beloved sister. Even before she left, she had a will that asked Joshua to take good care of her younger sister.The other person was the daughter he had with Luna Gibson.“Luna, you gave me a challenging problem to deal with.”…Lynch Mansion.Aura had waited in the hall for half an hour as she held an intricately wrapped box in her arms.“Is Granny Lynch up yet?”Looking at the servants lazing around in the mansion, Aura was rather impatient.The servant looked at he

“Nonsense!”Aura’s tears infuriated Granny Lynch. She slammed the teacup on the coffee table with vengeance. “Back then when Joshua wanted to get engaged to you, no one in the family agreed to it, yet he insisted on it, saying how he was fulfilling Luna’s will!“Now five years have passed and the family has finally accepted you, yet he’s planning to call off the wedding? Is this just a game to him?”Granny Lynch looked at the jewelry on the table before she turned to look at Aura benevolently. “Aura, don’t worry. You’re filial, and I’ll help you. Joshua must’ve been seduced by that maid, and he must’ve been confused for a moment when he said he wanted to break off your engagement. Don’t worry, I won’t allow Joshua to call off the wedding.”Aura bit her lip as her expression was riddled with grief. “Granny, I’m relieved to hear that. You treat me well…”Then, Aura wiped her tears away. “Since Granny treats me so well, I have to do the same. Please accept these gifts today. I reme

“No need.”Luna smiled. “It’s a small matter.” Then, she turned around and walked gracefully to the two bodyguards. “Let’s go.”Her graceful and aloof attitude stunned the bodyguards. Even the driver was stunned.Was this woman only a maid? Why was she so graceful and calm at handling sudden matters?“Let’s go.”When the bodyguards were still in a daze, Luna had already walked past them and headed to the sedan by the side. She opened the car door and entered the car.The two bodyguards came to their senses and hurriedly got into the car and drove off.The driver saw the sedan vanish from sight, and he carefully picked up his phone and dialed Lucas. “Mr. Bean…”...Granny Lynch was waiting for Luna in a private room of a restaurant.The bodyguard pushed the door open and Luna walked in calmly. She sat in front of Granny Lynch. “Hello.”“You’re Luna?”Granny Lynch furrowed her brows a little as she scrutinized the woman with intricate facial features in front of her. “As expe

Luna picked up the check and looked at it aloofly. “One million is a lot of money.”“Of course,” Granny Lynch harrumphed coldly. “Take it and keep it well. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!”“You have a point.” Luna swiftly kept the piece of check into her bag. “But, the fake necklace on your neck is probably worth much less than a million, right?”Upon the mention of a fake necklace, Granny Lynch was stunned for a while. Then, she sneered. “You b*tch. How manipulative of you. Just because you heard me say that this was given to me by my granddaughter-in-law, you purposely say that it’s a fake?”Granny Lynch rolled her eyes and looked at Luna condescendingly. “You lowly unworthy servant. What do you know of imitations? My future granddaughter-in-law is a prim and proper person. She’d never buy any imitation! It’s you who don’t know how to appreciate them!”Granny Lynch glared at Luna fiercely. “Since you’ve taken the money, I take it as a promise from you. Find an excuse and leave Bl

“Yes.”Luna looked at him seriously. “After all, in the Lynch family, I am worth a million dollars. Asking for a raise isn’t too much, right?”“It isn’t.” Joshua put the check down and leaned back. He changed into a more comfortable posture and looked at Luna. “You brought me this check just so you could ask me for a raise?”Between the two of them, Joshua was the one sitting while she was standing, yet he had such an overpowering aura that Luna felt like she was the one looked down upon.Luna nodded. “Of course.” Her face was devoid of any emotion. “I have small goals, and I just want Mr. Lynch to give me a raise. These million bucks is too much for a servant like me. I feel guilty receiving it.”Joshua stood up and gracefully walked toward her. “Is that so?”“Of course.”He reached out and lifted Luna’s chin with two fingers, forcing her to look into his deep, endless eyes. “You’re refusing this money not because you feel guilty, but because you’re unwilling to leave me, rig

“Now is not the time yet.”Joshua sighed lightly. “Nellie won’t be able to leave her yet. The replacement of servants has to be done slowly.”Lucas looked at Joshua and furrowed his brows tightly. He doubted that Nellie was the only one who was unable to leave Luna. Joshua was the same, too.After Luna Gibson left, Joshua never had a woman by his side for almost six years. If she was not alive, Lucas felt that Luna the servant was a great choice. Nellie liked her, at least, and Joshua did not hate her either.However…Lucas took a deep breath. In the end, he could not help but remind Joshua, “Sir, don’t forget that you still have to get the missus back.”Joshua lifted his head and looked at him with an ambiguous smile. “Are you trying to teach me what to do?”Joshua’s gaze was so cold that Lucas instantly shuddered. “I just remembered. I should get off work.” At that, Lucas immediately opened the door and escaped for his life. The door of the study room was shut once again.

“Okay, I’ll treat you as such. You could think of using a million dollars to get Luna to leave me just from what Aura said, but...“You’d do well to listen, Granny Lynch. Even if there is no Luna, even if she took the million dollars and went away, I’d still call off the marriage with Aura. This won’t affect my decision, so save the money. It’s pointless.”Joshua then stood up to leave.“Joshua Lynch!” The infuriated Granny Lynch took the teacup on the coffee table and threw it at Joshua.Smash!The teacup landed next to Joshua’s feet. It shattered as the tea splashed onto his pants.Joshua stopped in his tracks, but he did not turn back.Granny Lynch gritted her teeth. “What on earth are you trying to do? Back then, you insisted on marrying Luna Gibson into the Lynch family against all of our objections. She married into the family for a few years, yet she didn’t even bear you any children before she died in an accident.“After her death, you rejected all the women that the fa

“Granny, you’re the best!”Aura excitedly passed the box to Granny Lynch. “Have a look, Granny. This is one of Mr. Y’s designs. It’s the same series as the necklace on your neck. Isn’t it beautiful?”“It is beautiful.” Granny Lynch loved the necklace. Inexplicably, Luna the maid’s words rang in her ears suddenly.‘But, the fake necklace on your neck is probably worth much less than a million, right?’Granny Lynch furrowed her brows and looked at Aura somewhat uncomfortably. “Aura, is your necklace…a fake?”Mr. Y was a jewelry designer who had made a name for himself abroad in the past two years. His fame was second only to the famous designer Moon. Mr. Y had left the jewelry industry so abruptly, however. His designs were obsolete, hence the prices of his jewelry have gone up from the initial million-dollar mark to more than 10 million dollars. Granny Lynch had seen the news, that was why she would give Luna a million dollars on Aura’s behalf.However, what Luna said the day be

"Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while.

The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
