Granny Lynch took the check from Theo and glanced at it. Her expression changed to that of a confused one. Why was Joshua’s name signed at the bottom?
Theo smiled. “The reason I ‘m here today, besides picking up Luna from work, is that I wanted to return this check to Joshua.“
Granny Lynch frowned as she tried to make sense of what was happening. Then, after a moment, her eyes widened, and she looked back at Theo. “Is this the check that Joshua paid Mr. Allen with? Are you…“
“I’m Theo Allen.“ Theo grinned at her. “I also want to explain to you, Granny, that the real painting worth ten million dollars is still in my study. I’d never display it publicly. The painting ruined that day was a fake one.“
He glanced at Granny Lynch’s astonished face and continued, “As soon as he found out the painting was ruined, Mr. Lynch immediately issued me a check as compensation. However, I knew I couldn’t take it, so I decided to return it to him.“
Granny Lynch was so shocked that she said nothing in response.
“Now that I’ve returned the money, Luna shouldn’t have to resign anymore. Do you still have any issues with this?“
Granny Lynch lowered her gaze to look at the check, speechless for a moment.
“Alright then…“ muttered Granny Lynch, biting her lip. “She doesn’t have to resign anymore, but she still has to apologize to my granddaughter-in -law!
Although the painting was a fake one, she still ruined it in an attempt to upset Alice! Also, she injured me just now, so she should apologize to me as well! “
“Apologize?“ Luna crossed her arms in front of her chest. “The painting I ruined belongs to Theo. If anything, I should apologize to him and not Alice. Besides…“
Luna turned her head and glared at Granny Lynch. “I didn’t injure you just now, and even if I did, it was because you ruined my design sketch. In that case, shouldn’t you be the one to apologize?“
