Joshua's statement made the entire room go silent as everyone gaped at the pair of men onstage.
Everyone in Banyan City knew that Rianna, the most powerful businesswoman in the city at one point, died due to complications during childbirth, and at that time, Adrian even hosted a memorial for her.
At her funeral, Adrian cried his heart out, claiming that Rianna was the most selfless woman he had ever met and that she had chosen to give up her life just to continue the Lynch bloodline.
This was why even after so many years, everyone in Banyan City was under the impression that Adrian and Rianna were a match made in heaven, and that if Rianna had not died, they would have spent the rest of their lives together, happily ever after. At this moment, however…
Joshua's bold statement destroyed everyone's impression.
"Mr. Lynch, you can't frame your father with false accusations just to get out of paying our money back!" All of a sudden, someone yelled from among the crowd.
The entire room seemed to fall silent once more.
After a brief pause, someone else shouted, "That's right, Mr. Lynch. Are you and your father putting on another act just to get out of paying back your loans?
"First, you claim that you're going to disown your father, and now, you're accusing him of being the mastermind behind your mother's death, instead of it being due to childbirth as previously claimed. Do you even have any evidence to support your claims?"
"Do you think we'll believe you just like that?"
"He's right—we'll never believe you unless you show us concrete evidence!"
