CHAPTER 1791
Joshua placed Luna behind him, shielding her.
“Granny liked Luna a lot when she was alive, so that‘s why I brought her here.” Joshua looked at
Adrian with an ice–cold glare that could freeze a person alive.
“What about you? Granny hated your current wife the most when she was still alive, yet you still
brought her to pay respects. If Granny sees this up above in heaven, she‘ll probably haunt your dreams
while you‘re sleeping.”
Then, Joshua furrowed his brows and asked, “Why are only the two of you here? Where is your
precious son, Michael?”
Joshua then pretended to come to a realization. “Oh, right! He‘s still in prison.”
At the mention of Michael, Adrian‘s and Celia‘s faces turned pale as a ghost.
A year ago, Michael was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering Granny Lynch. Adrian was an
accomplice, but he did not partake in the murder that day, so he was only sentenced to a few months in
prison.
When he was released from prison, Adrian took Celia around pleading and threatening others, finding
ways to reduce the sentence of their precious son, Michael.
Alas, Joshua had already made a deal with the prison. There was no way Michael‘s sentence would be
reduced.
Adrian and Celia were in their fifties already, having lived a spoiled life all their lives when, all of a content rights.
sudden, they suddenly lost their source of income while their precious son had been locked in prison
for the rest of his life.
Due to the multiple blows and set back, the couple had been in grief and sorrow. They even fell sick.
For the past year, Adrian felt as if he had already tasted all the pain and torture of the world, which was
why he brought Celia over to Granny Lynch‘s tombstone to pay her respects on her death anniversary.
He prayed to Granny Lynch for forgiveness, asking her to protect their only precious son so that he
would not be in so much pain.
At that moment, not only did Joshua not have pity for his father‘s misery, but he also deliberately
brought Luna over and mentioned the fact that Michael was in prison to rub salto n his wounds!
Celia, being indignant as she was, gritted her teeth and glared at Joshua.
“Michael is your younger brother, no matter what! It‘s one thing if you don‘t help him get out of prison,
but you even made a deal to not get his sentence reduced!”
Then, she pointed at Luna, who stood behind Joshua. “You don‘t pity your father, you don‘t recognize
your brother, yet you‘re in bed with the woman who is the enemy of the Lynch family! How do you think
Granny Lynch, who sacrificed her whole life for the Lynch family, would feel? You‘re not worthy of being
a member of the Lynch family!”
Joshua narrowed his eyes dangerously at Celia‘s words,
The surrounding temperature dropped abruptly.
Joshua sneered and pressed in closer toward Celia. “If I‘m not worthy to be a member of the Lynch
family, are you?”
Adrian immediately rushed forward and grabbed Celia‘s arm. “Stop talking!”
He was truly afraid of Joshua. Although he casually took a jab at Joshua just seconds ago, he knew the
limits. He was just bickering.
However, Celia‘s words have clearly infuriated Joshua, and if Joshua got angry, they would be i na
more miserable state!
Alas…Celia could no longer heed Adrian‘s advice.
For the past year, because she could not rescue Michael out of prison, her desperation and resentment
toward Joshua had piled up.
At that moment, when she finally saw Joshua in person, how could she so easily let him go?
Celia glared at Joshua and said coldly, “Am I wrong? On the surface, you act like you‘re avenging your
grandmother. You‘ve been in Merchant City all this while going up against the Landrys, but what then?
It has been a year, but not only did the Landrys have not fallen, but they even became better thanks to
the woman behind you! Is this how you avenge your grandmother? And you dare bring her here to pay
respects?”
Celia crossed her arms at her chest.
“You should just stop avenging her. Why the pretense? Just hand over Lynch Group to the woman
behind you; won‘t that be better? What does it matter to you that your grandmother has fought and
persevered for the last twenty years? On one hand, you keep saying that you and the Landrys are
enemies, yet you‘re still entangled with the daughter of the enemy. Is your grandmother‘s life so cheap
in your eyes?”
