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 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!
