"I only like Nellie."
"You like her?" Granny Lynch harrumphed coldly. " More like her dad! When I still didn't know of Nellie’s existence, I didn't know you were so manipulative. Using Nellie's love and reliance for you to live in Blue Bay Villa without any holdbacks. You pacify Nellie on one side while seducing Joshua on the other. You have a beautiful face yet an ugly heart!”
Luna had long guessed that Granny Lynch would say that. She gently chuckled. "Granny Lynch, your deduction is pretty logical, but it's all wrong, sadly."
Luna then eyed the necklace on Granny Lynch's neck." Ms. Gibson gave you more gifts?"
The necklace this time was the same series as the previous one. Of course, it was fake as well.
Granny Lynch rolled her eyes coldly at Luna. "Aura gave this to me. She has such a good eye for things like these. Much better than you! More importantly, Aura is Nellie’s blood-related aunt! You'll never be able to compete with that! If I had to pick between you and Aura, I'd pick Aura to be my granddaughter-in-law in a heartbeat."
Then, Granny Lynch harrumphed. "As for you, you should know your place. You only headed to Blue Bay Villa to deliberately get close to Nellie and Joshua just
because of money, right? If one million isn’t enough for you, name your price, but don't be too greedy."
Luna, on the bed, looked at Granny Lynch's necklace and laughed gently. "Yes. One can't be too greedy. It doesn't mean that the more million-dollar necklaces you have, the better, doesn't it?"
With furrowed brows, Granny Lynch could no longer tolerate Luna's mocking tone anymore and hid the necklace under her clothes. "Don't change the topic! How much to get you to leave?”
Luna shut her eyes and sighed. After a while, she opened them.
