“Nonsense! “
Aura’s tears infuriated Granny Lynch. She slammed the teacup on the coffee table with vengeance.
“Back then when Joshua wanted to get engaged to you, no one in the family agreed to it, yet he insisted on it, saying how he was fulfilling Luna’s will!
“Now five years have passed and the family has finally accepted you, yet he’s planning to call off the wedding? Is this just a game to him?“
Granny Lynch looked at the jewelry on the table before she turned to look at Aura benevolently. “ Aura, don’t worry. You’re filial, and I’ll help you. Joshua must’ve been seduced by that maid, and he must’ve been confused for a moment when he said he wanted to break off your engagement. Don’t worry, I won’t allow Joshua to call off the wedding.“
Aura bit her lip as her expression was riddled with grief. “Granny, I ‘m relieved to hear that. You treat me well…“
Then, Aura wiped her tears away. “Since Granny treats me so well, I have to do the same. Please accept these gifts today. I remember there is another set of Mr. Y’s jewelry. I’ll buy that set as your birthday gift. How about that?“
When Granny Lynch heard that, her face lit up instantly. She smiled. “Sure, sure, sure!
“Don’t worry about this. I’ll handle this for you.“
“Thank you, Granny! “
Aura happily wiped her tears away. She stood up and respectfully bowed to Granny Lynch. “Granny, I won’t bother you anymore. Please keep the jewelry.“
Aura turned and left.
“Butler, please send Ms. Gibson off.“
“Yes.“
Five minutes later, the butler returned to Granny Lynch’s side after sending Aura off.
“Didn’t you always dislike Ms. Gibson?“
“Yes.“
Granny Lynch shut her eyes. Luna Gibson appeared in her mind.
When Luna married into the Lynch family, Granny Lynch did not like her one bit either. She constantly persuaded Joshua to divorce her.
However, who knew that not only did Joshua not divorce her, but he treated her even more dearly.
When she eventually went missing, Joshua almost died of drinking because of her.
Even if Granny Lynch did not like Luna Gibson, she had to admit that Luna was a thousand times better compared to her sister, Aura.
At least…
Granny Lynch opened her eyes and looked at the box of jewelry.
At least Luna Gibson never had any other intentions.
Even if Granny Lynch disliked Aura, she could only help her. After all, no matter how terrible Aura was, she was much better compared to a maid.
Five in the evening.
Luna, who had just finished buying groceries from the market, was stopped by two bodyguards.
“The head of the house wants to see you.“
The two bodyguards were no strangers to Luna. They were Joshua’s grandmother, Granny Lynch’s personal bodyguards. Did that mean Granny Lynch wanted to see her?
Luna smiled flatly and lifted the groceries in her hand. “Can I put them in the car first?“
The bodyguards nodded. They could not possibly let her carry groceries to see Granny Lynch.
Luna opened the trunk of the car as she carried the groceries in a calm manner. After putting the groceries in, she walked over to the driver’s seat and spoke to the driver, “I have to deal with some matters. Head back first. I’ll get a cab back later.“ The driver furrowed his brows and looked at the bodyguards standing nearby. He said in a suppressed voice, “Should I inform Mr. Lynch?“
