Chapter 274

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.“

Granny Lynch snorted in indignation. “Alright then. Your friend here was jealous of my granddaughter-in-
law and ruined her favorite artist’s painting out of

spite! She even made my grandson pay for the compensation! It cost ten million dollars! “

Granny Lynch took out her phone and showed Theo the same news article Luna had seen on Shannon’s
phone. “Look at this. It’s making headlines! “

Theo smiled at her. “Alright, Granny. What would you like Luna to do now?“

“I want her to pay my grandson back, resign immediately, and apologize to my granddaughter-in-law! “
Granny Lynch immediately barked out three conditions. She glanced at Joshua coldly and added, “ I
don’t even know what spell this woman put on my grandson. He’s not willing to agree to any of my
conditions! “

Joshua frowned at her. “I told you that this whole incident isn’t what you think it is.“

“What do you mean, it isn’t what I think it is?! “ Granny Lynch brandished her phone at Joshua and
retorted, “The evidence is right here! Besides, you were the witness, weren’t you?

“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.
