"You're just too naive. Do you think Granny Quinn and Sirius told us all there is to it? They're both birds of a feather, pushing the blame onto each other just to make themselves look innocent."
Having said that, Joshua turned and looked at Samuel. "Since Mr. Quinns had suggested this, I think you know that I've found out the truth."
Samuel smiled. "Of course. I'm sure you're well aware of everything that my mother, Sirius, and Quentin did."
Joshua smiled, too. "I also found out that you have nothing much to do with it. Are you sure you want to beg mercy on your mother's behalf and get involved in this turmoil?"
No amount of mercy-begging would heal the damage dealt in the wake of the deaths of Lucy Hamilton, Granny Lynch, Colin Landry, and all those feuds between the Lynch family and the Landy family.
Granny Quinn had done many terrible things to the Lynch family and the Landry family. He had requested Lucas to investigate each of them and recorded them, which resulted in an accumulation of files as high as a mountain.
Of course, Sirius and Quentin were the ones behind all of the tragedies that happened, but what about the aftermath?
If Granny Quinn had not interfered, Granny Lynch, Charles, and Rosalyn would have been able to uncover the truth with their minds combined.
They were, alas, blinded by Granny Quinn's scheme and tricks, so much so that they thought the other family was the one to blame for all the tragedy. Neither of them had thought that a third party was meddling between the two families.
Granny Quinn must pay for all the damages she had directly and indirectly dealt, even if she was of old age and had little time left to live because of the poison.
Looking at Joshua's stone-cold eyes, Samuel sighed. He knew the hatred he saw in Joshua's eyes was real, and Joshua hated his mother for all the things she did.
