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 she
wanted?"
He burst into triumphant laughter as he continued, "To be honest, it would've been easier if I just asked
Mickey to bring the poison out for her, but I chose not to, and do you know why?
"That's because I needed someone to be a scapegoat because one day, the Landry family would no
doubt investigate the reason for Jim's poisoning, and you'd be the only suspect.Of course, because
you're the precious heiress of the Landry family, they wouldn't do anything bad to you at all."
Luna bit her lip upon hearing this.She had done this for her children.Because she was so afraid of
Charlotte hurting her children, she had been willing to do anything Charlotte wanted.
However, the process of obtaining the poison had gone so smoothly that day that it seemed that she
was just a minor pawn in Charlotte's scheme instead of the crucial chess piece that Charlotte claimed.
At the thought of this, Luna bit her lip and met Butler Fred's gaze.
"You have a child of your own, so why would you come up with the idea of letting Charlotte use my
children against me?"
"It's precisely because I have a child of my own that I knew what your weakness was."
Butler Fred glanced in Mickey's direction as he continued, "Myson is my everything, so..."
"Is that so?"
All of a sudden, Rosalyn, who had been sobbing while tending to Charles' wound all this while, lifted
her head.
She wiped the tears from her face said, "If you truly love your son and treat him like your
everything...you shouldn't have trained Mickey to become a pawn in your revenge scheme."
Rosalyn let out an exhale and stared at Butler Fred's face.
"You said yourself that Mickey had barely turned eighteen when you first started to poison Granny
Lynch.
"He was only eighteen when you sent him to Banyan City to poison and kill an elderly woman for your
selfish gain...The truth is, you never cared about your son at all; all you cared about was yourself and
the stupid vengeance you held toward Granny Lynch."
The color drained from Butler Fred's face upon hearing this.
Rosalyn turned to glance impassively at Mickey, who was also restrained by the servants.
"I know you're not a bad person, but because you're his son and undeniably played a role in all this..."
She closed her eyes and curled her lips into a bitter smile.
"Initially, I had treated you as my sole apprentice and wanted to pass on all my knowledge and
experience to you...but I guess you're not suited to take up this role anymore."
