“Slap — —!“
Before everyone could react, the sound of a loud slap echoed throughout the living room.
Luna’s head was knocked to the side from the impact, the sweet, iron-like taste of blood filled her
mouth, and blood dripped down the corners of her lips.
“Mommy! “ “Mommy ——!“
Sitting on both sides of the old lady, the two children instinctively jumped up from the couch and flew to
Luna’s side.
One of them held her hand carefully, stepping in front of her, trying to protect her, while the other calmly
took some tissues from the table beside them and handed them to Luna.
The sight of the two children protecting her made Joshua frown. Beside him, Alice snorted deep down
in her chest, but on the surface, worry filled her expression, “Neil, quick, bring your sister here.“ Then,
she glanced at the little gentleman who was handing Luna tissues.

doesn’t belong.“
Neil glared at her coldly, then suddenly turned and started taking care of their mother together with
Nellie.
Then, Alice acted like a calm, level-headed adult and said, “Adrian, what are you doing, you scared the
children.“
Adrian snorted coldly, “What am I doing? Doesn’t she know what she did?“
Luna took the tissues Neil offered her and wiped the blood from the corners of her lips, smiling coldly
as she said, “Master Lynch, you’re an old man, and yet the way you vent your emotions is by hitting a
woman? This is the first time I’m experiencing something like this! “
Adrian’s face was filled with fury. “Do you know why I slapped you?“
He glared at her viciously. “I’ve known Dennis Walter for more than 3o years! I know full well what kind
of a man he is! If he had a choice, he would not act against a woman! “
He fixed his eyes on Luna, so angry flames were about to burst out of his eyes. “Tell me, how did you
kill Hailey?! “
Luna paused. Then, she tugged at her lips, and laughed coldly, “So, you think I was the one who killed
Hailey, that’s why Dennis Walter would do those things to me, and was finally captured?“
Adrian glared at her, his eyes almost popping out of his skull in fury. “Is that not the truth? You killed his
only daughter, is that not the truth?“
Luna looked at him coldly, her gaze as chilly as the ancient glaciers. “Oh? I killed Hailey Walter?“
She changed into a comfortable position and sat directly down on the couch. Neil and Nellie sat down
too, one of her left and the other on her right.
The little girl held her arm out in front of her, fiercely keeping her gaze locked on Adrian as if she would
not only use her body to block him if he decided to hurt Luna again but also rush forward and bite him.
Neil, on the other hand, adopted the same position as his mother, crossing his arms across his chest
and looking at Adrian.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis gaze did not seem as if he was looking at his own grandfather, but instead as if he was looking at a
long-lost enemy.
The scene in front of him further stoked the flames in Adrian’s chest. The blood of the Lynch family
flowed through the veins of both of these children, but now, when he and Luna were at loggerheads,
not only did the two children take her side, they even looked at him as if he was their enemy?
He frowned and glared at Joshua. “Discipline your children! They belong to our family, the Lynch family,
and not Luna’s family! “
Joshua raised his teacup calmly, took a sip of the warm tea, and said, “I can’t. My relationship with
these children is like the one I share with you. In the past six years of their lives, I had never once
helped them or taken care of them, that’s why they won’t listen to me.“
He glanced at Adrian with faint, emotionless eyes. “ Just like how I refuse to listen to most of the things
that you say.“
With that, he elegantly placed the now empty cup on the coffee table. ”You said it too , they belong to
the Lynch family.”
