Joshua’s expression darkened upon hearing this. “Aura’s back in Banyan City?”Previously, when Aura was still abroad, Joshua had sent some men to keep an eye on her. After that, she was taken away by her real family and even led to some of his men losing their lives over this. However, that happened almost immediately after the explosion that killed Neil. At that time, Luna had suffered her miscarriage, while Nigel had fallen gravely ill. Therefore, Joshua had been too busy to take notice of what Aura was up to. Soon after that, he was preoccupied with finding a suitable bone marrow donor for Nigel, which led to him finding Fiona and taking care of both her and Nigel. If it were not for Christian, Joshua would have totally forgotten about Aura’s existence. Luna had never told him what happened on the day of her accident, but since Christian had brought this up…Joshua suddenly remembered that the night before Luna’s accident, Aura had gotten drunk and tried to sleep with him, b
Granny Lynch watched as Joshua retreated up the stairs and could not help letting out a scoff. “Tsk. What kind of girlfriend is this? He’s being a servant, not a boyfriend!”She could not understand her grandson at all. Previously, he had never taken a liking to Aura. His next girlfriend, Alice, turned out to be a nutcase and ended herself. Initially, Granny Lynch had not been fond of Luna, but after seeing how well she treated the children, she finally warmed up to her. Just as she had come around, Joshua stopped dating Luna and instead decided to bring a sick woman home. This was outrageous!“Don’t be angry, Great-Granny. You have to look after your health too, you know.” Seeing how frustrated Granny Lynch was, Nellie swiveled around and immediately leaped off her chair. She skipped over to Granny Lynch and reached out a hand to pat her back.However, Nellie was so short that she could not reach Granny Lynch at all. Despite this, Granny Lynch was amused by her actions. She p
As soon as Granny Lynch stormed up the stairs, Nellie quickly sprinted to Nigel’s side.The two of them raised their hands in unison and gave each other a high-five. However, as soon as they did, Nellie lifted her head to gaze in the direction of the stairs, looking somewhat concerned. “Nigel, do you think Great-Granny will be able to convince Daddy?”Nigel shrugged. “It’ll be challenging to do that.”Nellie scrunched her face in displeasure. “Since you know it’s impossible, why did you let me play along with your act?”Nigel curled his lips into a smirk. “Well, you clearly didn’t think too deeply into this. Daddy is concerned about Mommy’s supposed mental illness, so he won’t let us return to Mommy’s side. At the same time, he can’t let Mommy move into Orchard Manor, lest she and Fiona get into more conflicts, but…”He narrowed his eyes and continued, “Granny Lynch doesn’t know this. Now that she’s gone to talk to Daddy, do you think she’ll blame him if he rejects her suggestion?
Seeing that Fiona was almost done cleaning up, Joshua got up from his seat and said, “I worked late last night, so I’m feeling a little tired now. I’m going to get some rest first. If you need anything, ask the butler and servants for help. If they can’t help you, then call me.” With that, he stood up and strode out of the room. As soon as she heard his footsteps recede, Fiona clenched her fists in anger. She should not have listened to Aura at all! Aura had told her that the children were Luna’s weaknesses, so as long as they took the children away, Luna would not be able to retaliate at all. She even said that Joshua would send Luna into a mental asylum, but she was wrong. Not only was Luna not admitted into a mental asylum, but Joshua had even let Granny Lynch move into Orchard Manor as well! Granny Lynch detested Fiona more than anything, but this time, Joshua was asking her to compromise and make peace with Granny Lynch. On top of that, when the children and Granny L
By the time she hung up the phone, Luna’s sleepiness had dissipated. Instead, she got up, went into Nigel’s room, and found his computer.Nigel was such a skilled hacker that he could enter the dark web, which was almost unattainable to any ordinary person.Luna wanted to scour through the dark web in hopes of finding some information about Dr. Robert’s social circle.Since she could no longer use money to buy off the doctor, she had no choice but to try using connections.She investigated everyone related to Dr. Robert while simultaneously praying that she would come across someone she knew who was somehow connected to him.Her search rendered no results.However, Luna could not help noticing that Dr. Robert had married a woman more than ten years younger than him a few years ago.His wife’s name was Janice Yale.However, when Luna clicked into Janice Yale’s information, she caught sight of a familiar name—Violet Lewis.A few years ago, Janice’s daughter had died in an acci
“Do you know the name of the doctor who couldn’t save her?”Christian remained silent for a moment before replying, “I don’t know. All I know is that after Violet’s father, Shaun, died, the press even interviewed the doctor who performed surgery on them. Of course, the doctor didn’t reveal his or her name, but they told the press that they were heartbroken over not being able to save either Violet or Shaun.”With that, Christian got out of bed and asked, “Why are you suddenly asking me all these questions? Do you think there’s something fishy about Violet’s death?”Luna remained silent for a moment, then finally let out a sigh and told Christian what she had found. “I’m not sure if you know this, but Violet’s mother, Janice, is now married to Dr. Robert.”Christian immediately leaped up from his bed. “You mean Dr. Robert Jenson, the one who made a fake medical certificate for Fiona?”Luna nodded. “Yes. As you said, the only reason Fiona could convince Dr. Robert to help her is eit
Luna did not expect this question from Christian.She gripped onto her phone and was silent for a long while. She could not help but clear her throat.“Christian, what kind of joke is this? You’re Nigel's and Nellie’s cousin. Although our age difference isn’t that huge, in terms of seniority…”Christian, on the other end of the line, chuckled. “If you’re not planning to be with Joshua, is seniority in the family that important?“Rather than saying although our age difference isn’t huge but due to seniority…“I’d rather put it this way: Although seniority is in the way, our age gap isn’t that wide.”Then, Christian cleared his throat and continued seriously, “Luna, aren’t you going to consider it?”Luna paused a little. Her throat tightened. “Christian, stop pulling my leg, I—”“I’m already being so serious, yet you could still hear that I’m joking?” Before Luna could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Christian’s mischievous laughter.He chuckled loudly. “Yeah, I’m ju
In the end, Luna decided to have a look.She had gone through so much that summer.Seizing the end of the summer and bidding farewell to the unhappy incidents was a good choice, too.The more important thing was that she was indeed hungry. She was all alone at home, and she was too lazy to make her meals.Thus, after asking Anne about where the event was taking place, Luna simply packed up and hailed a taxi there.Outside the Blue Bay Villa, in a corner somewhere...Zach took his phone out. “Mr. Lynch, Ms. Luna hailed a taxi and left. Should we follow her?”A cold man’s voice came from the other end of the line, “Go with her.” Then, he hung up when a knock came from the door of his study.“Joshua.”The person that entered was the aggrieved-looking Fiona.She was still in her usual white dress, looking extremely frail.“Joshua, Granny Lynch has been targeting me. I don’t feel like having dinner at home tonight. Let’s go out, please?”Joshua calmly furrowed his brows. He lift
