Courtney led Luna and Theo to Joshua’s office. When they arrived, Granny Lynch was perched on the couch as she made a scene.
“Joshua, I’m a frail old lady, and my bones aren’t as strong as they used to be anymore. That Luna girl gripped me so hard just now. I thought my bones were about to break!
“That painting was worth ten million dollars! That’s not a small amount. How could you pay for it just like that? Don’t you know I can buy a full set of
Moon’s jewelry with that amount of money?“ Theo and Luna could hear Granny Lynch’s shrieks even from outside the door.
Theo listened to this with a solemn expression. After a moment, however, he glanced at Luna, slightly amused. “Turns out Granny Lynch is also a fan of your work.“
Luna scoffed but said nothing in response.
Courtney gently knocked on the door before entering the room. “President Lynch, Director Luna is here.“
Joshua sat in his office chair as he rubbed his eyebrows, seemingly frustrated with all this commotion. “Let her in.“
The door was pushed open, and two people walked in. Joshua frowned and lifted his head. He locked eyes with Theo, and the two men stared at each other. One man’s gaze was filled with hostility, while the other was calm and gentle with a slight hint of arrogance. However, a split second later, their eye contact broke.
“You b*tch! “ Granny Lynch scowled at Luna, but just as she was about to say more, she caught sight o f the man standing next to Luna. She frowned and glared at Theo. “Who the hell are you?“
“I’m her friend.“ Theo gave a small smile and sat down next to Granny Lynch. “I believe you had a misunderstanding with my friend.“
Granny Lynch’s fury seemed to be doused by this polite young man in front of her. “Are you here to settle our dispute?“
“I guess you can say that.“
“I can’t believe this! You saw everything with your own eyes, yet you’re claiming you didn’t! Why are you lying for this woman? What kind of spell did she put you under? Ten million dollars! You paid ten million dollars for her!
“If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have just fired here from Blue Bay Villa. I should have sent her out of Banyan City and out of this country! This family is being torn apart because of her! “
Granny Lynch’s accusations finally got on Joshua’s nerves. His brows furrowed, and he immediately yelled, “You’re the one tearing this family apart! “
If it were not for Granny Lynch, none of this would have happened! If Granny Lynch had not given Luna so much pressure on bearing children many years ago, Luna would not have gotten so desperate and depressed.
Granny Lynch never expected that Joshua would yell at her like this. She stared at him in rage for a few moments before she turned around and glared at Luna. “It’s all your fault ! Joshua has never defied me like this before! “
Luna was amused by Granny Lynch’s words.
