“You’re just too naive. Do you think Granny Quinn and Sirius told us all there is to it? They’re both birds
of a feather, pushing the blame onto each other just to make themselves look innocent.”
Having said that, Joshua turned and looked at Samuel.
“Since Mr. Quinns had suggested this, I think you know that I’ve found out the truth.”
Samuel smiled.
“Of course. I’m sure you’re well aware of everything that my mother, Sirius, and Quentin did.”
Joshua smiled, too.
“I also found out that you have nothing much to do with it. Are you sure you want to beg mercy on your
mother’s behalf and get involved in this turmoil?”
No amount of mercy-begging would heal the damage dealt in the wake of the deaths of Lucy Hamilton,
Granny Lynch, Colin Landry, and all those feuds between the Lynch family and the Landy family
Granny Quinn had done many terrible things to the Lynch family and the Landry family. He had
requested Lucas to investigate each of them and recorded them, which resulted in an accumulation of
files as high as a mountain.
Of course, Sirius and Quentin were the ones behind all of the tragedies that happened, but what about
the aftermath?
If Granny Quinn had not interfered, Granny Lynch, Charles, and Rosalyn would have been able to
uncover the truth with their minds combined.
They were, alas, blinded by Granny Quinn’s scheme and tricks, so much so that they thought the other
family was the one to blame for all the tragedy. Neither of them had thought that a third party was
meddling between the two families.
Granny Quinn must pay for all the damages she had directly and indirectly dealt, even if she was of old
age and had little time left to live because of the poison.
Looking at Joshua’s stone-cold eyes, Samuel sighed. He knew the hatred he saw in Joshua’s eyes was
real, and Joshua hated his mother for all the things she did.
However…
Samuel sighed again.
“Joshua, I know after my mother did, she won’t be forgiven. All these years of preaching, I wanted to
make more good so that I could offset the sin that she did.”
Then, he looked at Joshua DRYK?LM Luna.
“If I tell you one thing that I did twenty years ago, would you please consider it and let my mother live
the last period of her life peacefully?”
Joshua furrowed as he looked at Samuel with cold eyes.
“You can try.”
Truthfully, Joshua was rather curious to know what it was that would make Samuel so confident that he
could persuade him and Luna to pardon Granny Quinn.
“The thing is…” Samuel smiled.
“I’m about to tell you one thing that I’ll never regret.”
He lifted his eyes, ones that seemed to faintly shine.
“Lucy didn’t die back then.”
The atmosphere in the room became tense right after that remark.
Baffled, Luna abruptly turned to look at Joshua.
His eyes that were often calm yet dark glimmered vaguely in surprise at that moment. Malcolm frowned
frantically.
“Dad, I know that you’re trying to beg forgiveness for Granny, but Lucy passed away more than twenty
years ago.”
