Chapter 2937


    Adrian’s face turned as pale as the wall behind him. He furrowed his eyebrows and spat through gritted


    teeth, “Hey, I’m still Michael’s father!”


    He knew he could never change Celia’s mind by talking about their marriage, and the only way he


    could sway her was to use their son, Michael, against her.


    He knew just how much Celia loved Michael, and Michael would finally prove himself useful if the


    mention of him could convince Celia to switch sides and betray Joshua.


    At the thought of this, Adrian sighed and sniffed. “Celia, Michael will get out in a few more years, so


    surely you wouldn’t want him to see his father like this when he gets released?”


    Celia froze when she heard this.


    Adrian was right. Michael always prided himself on being a Lynch and having Adrian as his father for


    many years, and even at this moment, she had yet to tell him the truth about her and Adrian’s


    separation.


    Therefore, if he were to discover how haggard his father had be once he got released from jail, he


    would surely be devastated, and there was no telling how he would react to this


    Celia bit her lip at the thought of this and instinctively nced at Joshua.


    The truth was, the offer Joshua had made her was extremely attractive, but it was nothingpared to


    her precious son


    Adrian and Michael were the only ones she had, and since Adrian would never return to her side, she


    had only Michael left.


    If Michael chose to leave her once he found out about all this…it would not matter how much money


    she owned anymore


    No amount of money in the world could match up to her son.


    At the thought of this, Celia clenched her fists.


    “Aunty Celia,” Luna said, pursing her lips when she sensed Celia’s hesitation. She let go of Joshua’s


    hand and strode over to Celia’s side, smiling. “I know why you’re hesitating. I have three kids of my


    own, and


    love my children as much as you love yours, but…


    She reached out to take Celia’s hand. “Have you ever stopped to consider why Michael had gone


    astray. and why he chose to kill his grandmother?


    “Don’t you think he learned this from Mr. Adrian Lynch, the most perfect role model he had?”


    Celia lifted her head to stare dazedly at Luna. She opened her mouth as though she wanted to say


    something, but no words came out.


    Seeing that Celia was beginning to waver, Luna smiled and continued in a gentle voice, “Aunty Celia,


    how naive do you think Michael is? Do you think he’ll continue protecting his father once he finds out


    about all this?


    “Well, I don’t think so. In fact, I think that once he finds out, he’ll admire how courageous you were to


    step forward and expose Mr. Adrian for who he is.


    “Besides you’ve seen just how much debt Mr. Adrian owes, and considering that Joshua will never give


    him even a single penny, it’s up to him to pay back all this debt. This is a fact, whether you like it orUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    not.”


    She squeezed Celia’s hand and continued, “I’m certain that Mr. Adrian’s debt will pass on to Michael


    once


    he gets released, and do you honestly think Michael will continue to appreciate and respect a father


    who’s done despicable things and left him a lifetime of debt?”
