Aura suddenly looked up. She met with Joshua’s rather cold gaze. She panicked a little.
"Joshua, what do you mean by that?"
"Nothing." Joshua's voice was low and icy." Remember. I am your brother-in-law, Nellie's father."
Then, he flung Aura's hand aside. He looked at Luna behind coldly. "Continue."
Luna bit her lips and continued, "I thought that after the Ferris Wheel incident was over, that would be it, but I did not expect that when I brought Nellie back to my house, another accident happened. Nellie and I were trapped in the room. Someone set our house on fire.
"If it were not for... Mr. Lynch who came in time to rescue me, Nellie and I would not be standing here celebrating Granny Lynch's birthday."
Upon her words, Adrian frowned hard and looked at Joshua. "Is that true?"
Joshua said nothing. Adrian then turned to look at Granny Lynch. "Mom, do you know about this?"
Granny Lynch was a little stunned. "I... know of the fire, but..."
She did not know that Aura was the main culprit of the fire! Although she was old, she still knew right

If she knew that Aura was the one that sent people to set the house on fire, she would never have let her go s o easily, let alone accept her gifts!
Adrian snickered. "It looks like all of you knew."
Adrian walked over to Granny Lynch and took Nellie away from her, carrying her in his arms. "One is Nellie’s father, the other Nellie’s great-grandmother. After Nellie almost died in the fire, not only did none o f you deal with the perpetrator, you even treated her a s a guest, inviting her to your birthday banquet! Was this the work of you two?"
Then, Adrian looked at Luna. "You're worse than a servant!"
Granny Lynch could not take the insult. She immediately defended herself. "I did not know. How could I possibly know? I only knew that she was Joshua's fiancee. I never thought that she would want to harm Nellie! Also..."
