Joshua secretly clenched his fists at Celia‘s words
Feeling the austerity Joshua emitted, Luna bit her lip. She knew
that Joshua was trying his best to suppress his anger.
Celia‘s words were like a knife, bloodily sawing away on Joshua’s most fragile nerves.
Luna looked at how tightly Joshua was clenching his fist. She furrowed her brows and walked u p to him.
“Joshua, calm down,” she coaxed him in a hushed voice as she gently held his arm.
At that moment, she was in no position to talk on behalf of Joshua, so that was all she could do.
Nonetheless, Luna‘s voice and touch made Joshua relax a little, and the burning anger in his eyes died d
own a little.
Looking at Luna comforting Joshua, Celia cackled in an even more unhinged manner. After all, she had l
ost her life of luxury and could no longer see her precious son. She would say whatever she wanted to s
ay. She no longer cared!
As long as Joshua was irked, she would be happy!
At that thought, Celia continued saying loudly, ‘I‘m correct, aren‘t I, Joshua? You‘re still so obedient even
now. You think that you treat her well because of your love for each other, but it has always been unrequi
ted.
“Once she knew that she was a Landry, even if she knew about the feud between the Lynchs and the La
ndrys, she still chose to give up and return to the Landrys.
“What about you? You can‘t give her up like what she did to you. You can‘t even place your family first. Y
ou—”
Looking at how Celia was going to make Joshua flare up soon, Adrian rushed forward once again to cov
er Celia‘s mouth.
“Shut up! Shut up!”
If she continued talking like that, they would not have the chance to continue living in Banyan City!
Celia, however, did not give up. She shrugged Adrian‘s arm off and continued, “You–”
Adrian realized that
he could not stop that lunatic woman. In the end, he picked up a rock and knocked it against the back of
Celia‘s head.
Blood trickled down from her head. Celia‘s eyes rolled over and she passed out.
Luna did not expect that to happen. She dazedly looked at Adrian hugging Celia in his
arms while apologizing to Joshua.
Adrian was still the same as before; he
did not have a bottom line. There was no limit to what h e would do.
To not offend Joshua, he used a rock to knock Celia unconscious…
“Please don‘t mind her, Joshua. Think nothing of her words,” Adrian apologized
while pressing on the place where Celia‘s head was bleeding.
Joshua furrowed his brows. He coldly swept him a gaze.
“Lucas.”
“Sir?”
“Call an ambulance, and have Ms. Giles brought away.”
Then, Joshua swept Adrian a glance.
“Go with Lucas and send her out to wait for the
ambulance. Once you settle her in, there is something I need to ask you.”
Joshua lowered his gaze and looked at the time.
“You have fifteen minutes.”
Adrian was stunned for a while before immediately nodding. “Yes! Yes! Alright!”
The two men carried
Celia away. Luna was still looking at Adrian‘s back in a daze. She could not pull her gaze away from Adria
“Luna”
Placing the bouquet of white flowers by Granny Lynch‘s tombstone, Joshua then asked calmly, “In your he
