Of course Luna remembered Michael. He was the one who had attempted to murder Granny Lynch but tried to frame her for it!"Well, the man standing before you is none other than Mickey Lynch." Joshua shot Mickey and Butler Fred a disdainful look, then continued, "Butler Fred is one of my elders, and Mickey is about the same age as us."According to the Lynch family tradition, there were specific name preferences that they had to adhere to when naming their children. In our case, all the children in my generation—which includes me, Michael, and Mickey—were supposed to be given names that started with the letter M."However, my mother didn't agree with this rigid rule and thus chose to break this tradition, giving me a name that she liked, which was Joshua."Luna bit her lip upon hearing this.Michael and Mickey…They were both members of the Lynch family after all.At the thought of this, she turned to glance at Butler Fred and Mickey. "So…the reason you tried to kill Granny Lynch
"Butler Fred, you…"Rosalyn immediately took a step back at the sight of Butler Fred's crazed expression. "You… You've gone insane!"This was not the Butler Fred she knew! He would never talk to her this way!He had been loyal to her and the Landry family for more than 20 years, and no matter what he did, he would always put the Landry family first before himself or even his son!How did this happen?"He hasn't gone insane; this is who he truly is," Joshua's cold voice rang out. "He's done plenty of crazier things than this, like…""Like what else?" Butler Fred sneered as he drew a knife out of his pocket and glared at Joshua with bloodshot eyes. "Are you going to continue exposing my past? I know you're a powerful man, Joshua Lynch, but I never thought you'd be able to find out something that happened more than thirty years ago!"You're right; before I came to Banyan City, I had raped a woman and gotten her pregnant with my child, and this was why I had no choice but to leave a
It turned out that Butler Fred had been using her all along. From the moment he joined their family, he had been using her for his selfish gain!This discovery shocked Rosalyn so much that she could not even move.She refused to believe that this was really happening.It could not be…"Since you've found out the truth, there's no point hiding it anymore." Butler Fred sneered, staring at her coldly as he snarled, "You're a fool! The biggest fool I've ever met, no less! Did you somehow think you were a saint? The truth is, you're not; you're nothing but the stupidest, saddest woman in the world! Do you think Charles loves you now?"Well, let me tell you this: he just chose you because he found out that Lucy had lost interest in him a long time ago, so he finally accepted you, the rebound!"Also, do you somehow think that your precious daughter Luna loves you and is standing on your side? Well, news flash, but you're wrong about that, too. The only people Luna loves are her husband
Rosalyn closed her eyes and waited for the pain to engulf her entire body.She heard the splatter of blade piercing skin, but oddly enough, she did not feel the pain she anticipated.The stench of blood filled her nostrils.Rosalyn furrowed her brows and opened her eyes.A familiar hand was gripping the blade, just inches away from her face, and her eyes widened in recognition."Charles!"The man who had gripped the knife with his bare hands, preventing it from hurting her, was none other than Charles, her husband and head of the Landry family.Bright red blood seeped out from between Charles' fingers and dripped down, splattering onto Rosalyn's legs.In a split second, her white dress had been stained with blotches of red."Are you going to continue struggling, Butler Fred?" the clear voice of a man rang out seconds after Rosalyn's scream of surprise.It was Jim.Rosalyn lifted her head to glance in Butler Fred's direction.At this exact moment, Joshua managed to subdue Mi
"But did you somehow think that driving a wedge between Luna and me, then telling your sad story to my mother, would allow you to gain control over everything? Did you somehow think that you'd be able to trick Luna, the future heir to the Landry family, into letting you stay here despite your crimes?"I'm sorry to say this, but your act isn't fooling anyone."Jim sneered as he let go of Butler Fred, allowing the servants who had rushed to the scene to take him instead. "Luna and I have never argued at all. You, on the other hand…"You were so impatient to drive a wedge between us that you chose to sacrifice Sean by faking evidence of him contacting Christopher to gatecrash me and Bonnie's wedding, all just to pit Luna and me against each other. Do you know what tipped you off, though?"He stared coldly at Butler Fred's face, his eyes etched with contempt as he continued, "You thought you were smart, but you forgot one crucial detail: Sean had grown up in a poor family, and no matte
Butler Fred froze in his steps upon hearing this.He turned and fixed his crazed gaze disdainfully on Luna's face. "To be frank, your father, mother, brother, and even your husband are all clever. You're the only idiot in the family."He sneered and continued, "Do you honestly think I didn't notice how strangely you were behaving that day? Or did you somehow think that your mother's drug warehouse—filled with some of the most dangerous poisons in the world—would be so easy to break into? If Mickey were so easily defeated, the drug warehouse would've been broken into plenty of times by now."Luna could not help clenching her fists upon hearing this, digging her nails into her palms. "So I'm right, aren't I? You and Charlotte have been in on it all along, right?"Butler Fred snickered. "Of course. If it weren't for me, how would Charlotte have known to target you, the most naive person in the family? How would she have known to use the children to threaten you into getting her what s
"Your lack of self-restraint and inability to say no make me realize that I'm unable to trust you again."Rosalyn turned to glance at Joshua and said, "We will try to compile all the evidence we have at hand of their crimes and send them to the police station, where their fate will be decided by justice. As for avenging your grandmother's death…"Rosalyn let out an exhale. "Feel free to use any method you see fit to take revenge for your grandmother's murder. No matter what you choose, I won't interfere in your decision, but…"She curled her lips into a smirk. "If you want to get your hands on some of the poison that led to your grandmother's death, I'll be happy to help you out.""Thank you, Mother-in-law." Joshua smiled upon hearing this.Finally, he glanced at the stack of paper on the table and picked them up. As he thumbed through the documents, he shot Jim an impassive glance and said, "Jim, I'm really curious as to know where all these came from. Did… Did you really use the
"What you're saying is…" After a long moment of silence, Charles lifted his head to stare intently at Jim's face. "When you first started working for Landry Group, you were brainwashed by Butler Fred and Mickey into committing these acts of treachery?"He furrowed his eyebrows and added, "But even though it was seven or eight years ago, Rosalyn and I had still treated you well, hadn't we, Jim? If so, why would you be persuaded by Butler Fred into betraying our family? Besides, even if he had successfully talked you into doing these, what happened after that?"Charles raised his uninjured hand and snatched the documents out of Jim's hand. There was a hint of fury in his wizened gaze as he glared at Jim. "All these papers show that the companies registered under your name are still in business until now. Not only that, but they're becoming more and more successful by the day!"Rosalyn and I can understand when you say you were brainwashed and didn't know better. After all, every one o
