Butler Fred's voice became hoarse and smoky as he continued, "Ma'am has always been a person of her word. Since she said she wanted to poison Granny Lynch when she was drunk, I thought she meant it for real. Hence…"Butler Fred stayed quiet for a moment and looked deeply into Luna's eyes. "Hence, Mickey and I had followed through with her order secretly. After many years, Ma'am had never asked us about the process of poison, and we, in turn, never reported back to her. After all, it was an offensive and harmful thing."Luna's face turned pale instantly after listening to Butler Fred's explanation as she quietly wrung her hands together under the table. Shivers ran across her skin.'So…that's the truth? Is this all there is to it? Mother was the one who said she wanted to poison Granny Lynch to Butler Fred and Mickey when she was drunk, so that's why they…' Luna's head could not process the truth."Don't fall prey to their words so easily," rang Joshua's voice from the concealed ear
Butler Fred squinted sharply after listening to Luna's words. "I'm impressed. Ms. Luna is no doubt the sole heir of the Landry family. You're so calm with the sharp observation that scares many people."After a sigh, he took out a recording device from his pocket. "Of course, Ms. Luna has the right to suspect me. How would I dare try to ruin Ma'am's reputation without the evidence?"He walked toward Luna and bowed respectfully at her while placing the recording device in Luna's hand. "You can play the recording. If you still think I was talking nonsense after listening to it, there's nothing more I can say."Luna furrowed her eyebrows and squeezed the recording device tightly. She looked at the device in her as her heart pounded faster. All this time, she thought that Butler Fred and Mickey did not have any evidence to prove the things they said.Just as Joshua said, if they were unable to present any evidence, Rosalyn would not be able to take the fault. However…this recording dev
"Luna, from now on, don't believe anything they say and just listen to me. You just have to repeat the things I'll say, alright?" Joshua sounded anxious as he talked gently. "I still don't believe your mother would say those things, not even if she was drunk, so please don't be disappointed in her, and don't think that you can't face me. Do you hear me?"Even if it was your mother's idea, it was influenced by the feud from the previous generation. It had nothing to do with you."Luna shut her eyes and bitterly smiled. 'Is that so? Does the feud from the previous generation have nothing to do with me and Joshua at all? If it is that easy to let go of the feud between them, then why does Joshua have to live with me in Merchant City for more than a year? Why did Joshua want to settle the deal with the Landry family and the Quinn family? Why did Joshua have to leave again and again?'The reason why they were back together was not that their love for each other was bigger than the feud b
Rosalyn then opened her eyes and looked at Luna apologetically. "Luna, I only knew about it today. Butler Fred told me that you, Joshua, and Jim were investigating the truth behind Granny Lynch's death, and that was why I called you so urgently this morning and refused to let Joshua tag along. I wanted you to know the truth."She meaningfully stared into Luna's eyes. "Ask Joshua to stop the investigation. I'm the culprit behind it. If he continues to investigate, he'll discover that Butler Fred and Mickey were the ones that…"But Butler Fred only did what I told him to. They're not bad people, and they've been working for us for so long. At the very least, they deserve the credit for their efforts."Luna squinted at this as she slowly pieced the information.Butler Fred and Mickey found out that Joshua, Jim, and her were investigating it, so they told Rosalyn in advance and had Rosalyn take all the blame so Joshua, Jim, and her would give up on the investigation.It was a good pla
Rosalyn's face scrunched upon hearing Luna's words, her back straightening against the wheelchair as she glared at Luna. Her hands balled tightly into fists as she slammed one against the armrest of the wheelchair. "What nonsense are you talking about, Luna? How did Butler Fred brainwash me? I meant everything that I said. Jim always has been unfaithful, but you were never aware of it!"She reached out her hand at Mickey in anger. "Give it to me. I want to show it to her!"Mickey sighed and opened the briefcase full of documents that he was holding.Rosalyn took a deep breath. After she had the documents, she slapped them at the stone table in the pavilion. "Have a good look at it. If Jim is that loyal to us, then he'd treat everything in the family as his own. But what is this?"Rosalyn sneered and looked at Luna as she sneered, "How long have you known Jim? When he used up the tricks in his sleeve to force other companies into bankruptcy, you never knew him!"Luna furrowed her e
"After all the outrageous things Young Master Landry did, I finally decided to give all of these documents to Ma'am," explained Butler Fred.Luna bit her lip harshly. She looked at Butler Fred as she tried to come up with something to argue with, but she came up empty. In fact, she was made clear.Before she came back, Butler Fred knew that Jim had his own career outside the Landry Group but never exposed Jim, and it was not because he trusted Jim, but instead…At that time, Butler Fred knew that Heather could never defeat Jim, and sooner or later, Jim would take charge of the family. Thus, Butler Fred never thought of telling Rosalyn about it and had only hidden those documents.In that case, when Jim was in charge of the household, he would have leverage on Jim, and Jim would have to keep him and his son working in the mansion. They showed the documents to Rosalyn now and had Rosalyn show them to Luna because at this moment, Butler Fred and Mickey thought that Luna, the biologica
"The reason why I'm so disappointed is precisely because of the recording." Luna let out an exhale, fixated her penetrating stare on Rosalyn's face, and took out the recording device once more.She pressed the play button, and the voice of a younger Rosalyn rang out from the speaker."Tell me, Butler Fred: how can Granny Lynch be so cruel? Is she still unsatisfied with what she did to us and how hard we're trying to get by now?"You're right—you're absolutely right. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be in this situation now. I wouldn't even have lost my daughter in the first place!"…Rosalyn's voice echoed through the entire garden.Luna stared impassively at Rosalyn's pale face as she played the audio. "You think I've never heard what your voice sounded like when you were younger?"With that, she took out her phone, located the audio file she wanted, and played it. An equally clear but almost entirely different voice rang out."Samuel, I don't think we should be keeping in to
"It's not because you don't love Luna, but because you naively thought that my relationship with Luna is so strong that even with this family vengeance between us, I'll still be able to brainwash both myself and Luna into believing our love can overcome all this."He strode over, stood next to Luna, and fixed his dark, penetrating stare on Rosalyn's face. "Unfortunately, Mother-in-law, every grievance should be traced back to its source, and there's no running away from the truth of my grandmother's death."We'll never blindly believe your words, even if you insist that you were the one behind this murder."Rosalyn sighed and glanced first at Luna, then at Joshua. "I thought…I thought that if I tried to make my voice sound young again and record it for Butler Fred, I'd be able to help them escape."Everything that happened that day had been a part of Rosalyn's scheme.She had planned this whole show after Butler Fred and Mickey admitted the truth to her that morning.Even though
