After a while, Joshua waved his hands. “Please leave.”
Lucas nodded, turned, and left. He shut the door on the way out.
With eyes narrowed, Joshua looked at the two investigation documents in front of him as he knocked his large hands on the desk.
After a while, he smiled bitterly.
Putting the two documents together, only one name appeared: Aura Gibson. It was obvious.
She wanted Nellie dead. She wanted to get rid of the people who treated her best.
Joshua shut his eyes.
Aura. She was Luna Gibson’s most beloved sister. Even before she left, she had a will that asked Joshua to take good care of her younger sister.
The other person was the daughter he had with Luna Gibson.
“Luna, you gave me a challenging problem to deal with.”
Lynch Mansion.
Aura had waited in the hall for half an hour as she held an intricately wrapped box in her arms.
“Is Granny Lynch up yet?”
Looking at the servants lazing around in the mansion, Aura was rather impatient.
The servant looked at her condescendingly. “She’s almost up. Ms. Gibson, if you’re not willing to wait, you can head back first. Granny Lynch doesn’t see guests so early in the morning.“
Aura bit her lips. Inwardly irked, she managed to maintain her smile. “I’ll wait. No matter how long it takes.“
She had to see Granny Lynch no matter what!
Another half an hour passed and Granny Lynch slowly and arrogantly walked down the stairs with the help of her servants.
When she noticed Aura, Granny Lynch chuckled before she sat on the other side of the sofa domineeringly, looking at Aura. “Ms. Gibson, why are you here so early in the morning? Is there anything I can do for you?“
“Yes! “ When she finally got to meet Granny Lynch, Aura excitedly jumped up from the sofa.
She hurriedly walked over and handed the box in her hands to Granny Lynch like a treasure. “Granny Lynch, this jewelry is designed and made by an internationally known designer, Mr. Y! Each of his designs is unique. There are a lot of imitations on the market, and I took a long time to find them! This just arrived from overseas this morning, and I immediately brought this here to give this to you! “
Granny Lynch furrowed her brows and opened the box.
The jewelry in the box made her eyes sparkle instantly. Shortly after, her expressions returned to her usual calmness.
She lifted her head and looked at Aura. “Thank you for your gift.“
Aura sighed. “I initially decided to present this to you during your birthday, but…“
Granny Lynch furrowed her brows. “But what?“
“But…starting from the day of your birthday, I’ll have no more relations with you anymore. Joshua, he
..has decided to announce calling off the marriage at your birthday banquet.“
Granny Lynch frowned. “Calling off the marriage?“
“Yes.“ Aura sighed. Her tone was filled with disappointment and helplessness. A streak of tears fell from the corner of her eyes. “I’ve been Joshua’s fiancée for five years, and everyone knows about us. Now that Joshua suddenly wants to dump me, I —I don’t know how to face the others. After all, I am a public figure.“
Then, she pitifully wiped her tears away. “Granny, do you think I won’t be able to get married in the future?“
