Chapter 2938
There was a faint glimmer in Celia’s eyes.
She lifted her head to stare at Luna rather dazedly, but her gaze seemed to speak a thousand words.
Luna knew that Celia was waiting for a confirmation, so she let out an exhale and turned to glance at Joshua.
Joshua smiled and shot her a look of affirmation.
Luna finally smiled, turned back to meet Celia’s gaze, and said softly, “Aunty Celia, if you step forward and expose
Mr. Adrian for who he truly is, Joshua will treat you well in the future. Besides, you’re the mother of Joshua’s
brother, and if you expose the truth, Joshua will take care of both you and Michael. He’ll never allow you two to fend
for yourselves in this cruel world.”
This tugged at Celia’s heartstrings.
The truth was, she never cared about Adrian at all-all she cared about was Michael!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe almost fell right into Adrian’s trap!
Michael was her son, and she could see through every last thought in his head. The only reason Michael adored his
father was that Adrian had always been generous to them, and if Adrian lost all his money and went broke, Michael
would never want to be associated with him.
If she stepped forward and exposed Adrian’s true colors, in Joshua’s favor, Joshua would fulfill his promise and
provide the life she wanted.
With Joshua’s help, she could start her own business, and start her new life afresh. This was a far better option than
letting Michael go with Adrian and inherit his debt.
“Also…” Luna curled her lips into a smile as she sensed Celia’s thoughts, and whispered in her ear, “Think about
this. Joshua is already powerful enough in Banyan City, yet the loan sharks are relentlessly demanding money from
him even at such an event. Do you think that they won’t do the same, if not worse, to Michael in the future, once
they find out about his association with Adrian? After all, loan sharks aren’t the people you want to mess with…”
Celia clenched her fists upon hearing this.
Luna was right! If she did not step forward to expose Adrian and split their differences, not only would she lose
Joshua’s help, she would even land herself and Michael in trouble by association with Adrian.
Celia finally came to a decision and knew what she had to do.
She let out an exhale, stepped forward, and took Joshua’s microphone from him. “Ladies and gentlemen, my name
is Celia Giles.
“I was the nanny Rianna hired more than twenty years ago when she was still pregnant with Joshua. At that time, I
was younger, and prettier than Rianna during her pregnancy.
“I wanted to do my job properly as the Lynch’s nanny and earn the money I deserved, considering that the pay was
more than satisfying for someone who had come from a poor village like me, but…”
She turned to stare coldly at Adrian. “Mr. Adrian told me that he had fallen for me, and asked me if I
wanted to live a life like Rianna’s.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Since I was always taking care of her, I had seen plenty of her day-to-day, and her life was far more luxurious and
comfortable than my mind could ever imagine, so naturally, I aspired to be like her.

“This was how Adrian and I got together. He convinced me to quit my job as Rianna’s nanny and
promised that he’d take care of me for the rest of my life. He even told me that once Rianna delivered her child,
he’d kill her, and I’d become the new Mrs. Lynch.”
Despair spread across Celia’s face as she continued, staring at Adrian, “When I resigned, Rianna thought that I was
returning to my hometown to get married, and even gave me some money in compensation for the fact she could
not attend my ‘wedding’ in person.
“When I told you about this, you said that Rianna was a two-faced bitch who only gave me money because she
wanted to buy me over.
“At that time, I was naive and believed every word you said, but now, I realized that every insult and every bad
thing you said about Rianna was false. Rianna did nothing wrong, but…you’re an ungrateful, deceitful
crook!”
