Chapter 2899
Luna, hearing the conversation between Joshua and Celia from across the door, could not help but feel upset for Joshua. As a matter of fact, she was the one who truly understood Joshua the most because she was his wife.
Ever since Joshua was a child, he never received any love or care from his parents. Although he always looked proud and cold-hearted, deep down in his heart, he yearned for a loving family.
If he was truly disappointed with Adrian and gave up on expecting, he would not be willing to provide enough money to Adrian that was enough to support Adrian’s life after a year Michael got locked in jail.
He still held a thin slice of hope that Adrian would change. Nevertheless, that hope disappeared after discovering the real reason why Rianna died.
At this moment, Joshua was the son who entirely gave up on his father by telling Celia that he was about to ruin Adrian.
“I know…” Celia’s voice pulled Luna back to reality.
“When you told me you just came back from Saigen City, I already knew why you came. Have you already known…” Celia paused. “Have you already known what happened to your mother?”
Although Joshua’s business empire was humongous, he had no business relationship with any organizations in Saigen City, which was very far away. It was clear that Joshua had contacted the Howard family since he was in a hurry to destroy Adrian and his wedding after coming back from Saigen City. His action proved that he had known the truth.
The stunned Joshua looked into Celia’s eyes. “You know about my mother?”
Celia sighed and nodded in silence. “I know more than you know…”
She reminisced back into the past as she continued, “I saw your mother before. When she was forced into the mental asylum, I sent food to her before…”
She could not help but lament after this topic was brought up, “At that time, I really hated her.
“She was talented, rich, and the one who built Lynch Group to its glory. However, she was also a dumb woman who was willing to sacrifice everything for a man. The reason why I was with your father was because of his money.
“When I saw how your mother ended up in the mental asylum, I was actually very happy and pleased. She was prettier than me, smarter than me, and better at anything than me. The man she sacrificed everything to love and care for spent his money on me instead. It meant I was better than her and more successful, didn’t it?”
She smiled bitterly after thinking back to those ridiculous thoughts she had in the past.
“I was a fool all along. Adrian was cruel enough to lay his hands on such a successful, wonderful woman like Rianna… I should’ve known it was a piece of cake when he tried to dump me. And my life was worse than Rianna’s after he dumped me…”
Joshua did not feel empathy despite the remorseful expression on Celia’s face.
“I’ll transfer the remaining wealth Adrian had to you after this matter is settled. It’s all yours. I won’t take a single dime no matter how much it is. Take that money and live your life while you wait for Michael to finish his sentence.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
He switched to another position on the sofa. “That’s all I have to say. Goodbye.”
There were more things that Celia wanted to say. As she looked at Joshua, she knew he could not be bothered to hear anything else from her anymore.
She sighed and left the house.
Once Joshua knew Celia had totally left the place, he raised his brows and looked at the bedroom. “Are you planning to come out now after eavesdropping for so long?”
