After breakfast...
"You're saying that my mom had no idea at all when Granny Lynch was poisoned?"
Luna was so shocked that she could not close her mouth as Joshua told her about all the information Jim sent him. She looked at Joshua astonishingly, her voice faltering as she added, "So... When mom said she didn’t know Granny Lynch was poisoned, she didn't say it because she was afraid to sabotage our relationship?"
Looking at how shocked Luna was, Joshua could not help but smile. "I thought she purposely didn’t mention it because she didn't want to affect our relationship." Joshua looked up. "Looking back at it now, however, I don't think she's that kind of person. Since she could honestly tell Jim about his birth mother when he asked, I don’t think she's a person who likes to lie."
Luna bit her lip and nodded silently." You're right. Mom never likes to tell lies, especially to the kids."
At first, Jim had always thought he was Rosalyn's son. When he found out that his birth mother was someone else, Rosalyn immediately came clean when he asked, despite him being heartbroken and furious at the time. Even when she told Jim the truth, Jim did not throw tantrums or cut off ties with her.
That day, Rosalyn held Jim in her arms and told him with the softest tone that she never treated him differently, even when Jim was not her flesh and blood. Although it did not create a serious reciprocal, she took a huge risk by telling Jim the truth. If it was not dealt with diligently, Rosalyn could lose Jim forever. Nevertheless, she did not choose to lie.
A woman who faced the risk of losing her son refused to tell her son a lie, so why should that woman lie just because she feared it would affect their relationship? After all, Joshua and Luna's relationship was stable already.
Luna bit her lip and kept quiet.
Joshua curled up his lip and continued," Plus, the Landry family and the Lynch family were enemies and were at odds. No one knew that the Quinn family was behind all of it, though, >a&?YJS; no one knew everything was just a misunderstanding.
"Back in the past, Granny used to attack the Landry Group to harm them, and if your mother truly had poisoned Granny, well... It's a despicable tactic, but I can accept it, and vengeance isn't the only option to go about things."
He looked at Luna. "You should understand what I mean."
Luna bit her lip and kept quiet for a long time. Eventually, she nodded.
Joshua was right. When Granny Lynch was poisoned, it was the peak period when the Landry family and the Lynch family were fighting against each other. In addition, Charles Landry was innocent and had nothing to do with Lucy's death, but
Granny Lynch insisted that he was the one who killed her. In the end, Luna’s uncle was the reciprocal of the feud between both families.
Although all the misunderstandings were finally cleared, the hatred that Luna's parents had for Granny Lynch was no lesser than how much Granny Lynch hated Rosalyn and Charles when she was alive.
Moreover, to both Rosalyn and Charles, Granny Lynch was the perpetrator who killed Colin Landry.
