Sean was a little puzzled by Luna's question. He lifted his head to stare blankly at Luna. "Yes...that was what happened."
He remembered the look of disbelief on Bonnie's face when she laid eyes on the photos of Lucy, and she bombarded Nikki with questions about their mother afterward.
Sean froze at the thought of this.
Bonnie's reaction... Had she already suspected that he and Jim were brothers at that time?
If she had, why had she not brought this up to him before?
Not only did Bonnie keep this secret to herself, but it seemed she did not share her suspicions with Jim either.
Sean furrowed his brows and instinctively glanced in Luna's direction.
Luna's eyes were etched with the same puzzled expression as his.
"Mr. Lynch." All of a sudden, Samuel curled his lips into a smile as he watched Joshua going through the documents from the box. "If you're interested in reading them, you may bring these documents home with you.
"After all, these belong to Lucy, and in a way, they should return to your family.
"However, I hope you’ll stick to your word and show mercy toward my mother. She was poisoned by Sirius and thus doesn’t have much time left. You can consider this as God's way of punishing her for her wrongful acts in the past."
Joshua could not help chuckling when he heard this. "Don’t worry. I'm a man of my word. That being said...”
He lifted his head to meet Samuel's gaze." I'm willing to show Granny Quinn mercy, but the Quinn family had built its foundation on the Lynch and Landry families' tragedic deaths..."
"Don’t worry," Samuel interrupted him before he could finish his sentence. "I'll make sure to take care of this. In seven days, I'll give you what you want."
Joshua nodded in reply, and, after giving Lucas instructions to tidy up Lucy's documents, he walked over to Luna's side and grabbed her hand. "Let's go."
