"Nonsense!"
Aura's tears infuriated Granny Lynch. She slammed the teacup on the coffee table with vengeance.
"Back then when Joshua wanted to get engaged to you, no one in the family agreed to it, yet he insisted o n it, saying how he was fulfilling Luna's will!
"Now five years have passed and the family has finally accepted you, yet he's planning to call off the wedding? Is this just a game to him?"
Granny Lynch looked at the jewelry on the table before she turned to look at Aura benevolently. "Aura, don’t worry. You're filial, and I'll help you. Joshua must've been seduced by that maid, and he must've been confused for a moment when he said he wanted to break off your engagement. Don't worry, I won’t allow Joshua to call off the wedding."
Aura bit her lip as her expression was riddled with grief. "Granny, I'm relieved to hear that. You treat me well..."
Then, Aura wiped her tears away. "Since Granny treats me so well, I have to do the same. Please accept these gifts today. I remember there is another set of Mr. Y's jewelry. I'll buy that set as your birthday gift. How about that?" 1
When Granny Lynch heard that, her face lit up
instantly. She smiled. "Sure, sure, sure!
"Don’t worry about this. I'll handle this for you."
"Thank you, Granny!" 1
Aura happily wiped her tears away. She stood up and respectfully bowed to Granny Lynch. "Granny, I won’t bother you anymore. Please keep the jewelry."
Aura turned and left.
"Butler, please send Ms. Gibson off."
"Yes." 1
Five minutes later, the butler returned to Granny Lynch's side after sending Aura off.
"Didn't you always dislike Ms. Gibson?"
