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 by poisoning her and even allowed my mother to take
the blame for your crime...wasn't because of your alleged loyalty to the Landry family after all, but
because you had a personal vengeance with Granny Lynch!"
She narrowed her eyes.
"I can't believe you'd do this to Mother, despite knowing how much she trusted you!"
"Is...Is this true?"
Rosalyn pursed her lips, staring at Butler Fred and Mickey with a look of shock and puzzlement.
She did not want to believe this.
She did not want to believe that Butler Fred, the man who had served her for more than 20 years, was
a despicable person all along! She refused to believe that her apprentice Mickey—the only person she
had ever taught her knowledge to—had been part of this evil scheme all along!
"Mrs.Landry, would you believe me if I told you that Ms.Luna and Mr.Joshua had been lying all along?"
Butler Fred sneered.
Knowing that there was no hiding the truth anymore, he decided there was no point pretending
anymore and instead bared his teeth at her sinisterly.
"Didn't you say that you'd be willing to help me no matter what I did, so long as I remain loyal to you?
Well, what's the meaning of this now?
"Even if I had personal reasons for wanting that old hag dead, why does it matter? You're still the
beneficiary in all this.I had done all this for the family, so what's wrong with that? "Didn't you say you'd
stand by my side no matter what? Why aren't you sticking to your word now?"
The butler took a small step toward Rosalyn, a glimmer of frenzied malice in his eyes.
"Why are you so insistent on finding out the truth? Did you forget that Jim has already deserted the
Landry family, and not even your daughter is on your side? She listens to Joshua's every word.
"If you don't rely on Mickey and me, you'll lose everything you've ever known.Don't you understand
this?"
A glimmer of malice flashed through Butler Fred's eyes as he continued, "Rosalyn, haven't you always
been the best at pretending? When Lucy was still around, you put on such an immaculate act.Despite
being jealous of Lucy and hating her guts, you still pretended to respect Charles' decision to be with
her.
"You never liked Jim, yet you forced yourself to accept him, the son of your worst enemy, and now, you
even adopted Lucy's second son as your own.
"If you enjoy pretending to be a kind person so much, why aren't you willing to continue doing it for
Mickey and me? Wouldn't it be perfect if you continued to take the blame?"
