Chapter 280 So Many Problems at Home

“Our family has always treated Luna well since she was a kid. Grandpa even sent her abroad to study. But she had a guilty conscience and cheated on Alden. Have you forgotten that?”

Joanne’s words were sharp, and she paused to let the accusation linger. “I heard her trial just wrapped up. The verdict will probably be out soon.”

Joanne looked even worse than before. Being talked back to by someone younger made her feel awkward, unsettled.

With a casual tone, Alyssa responded, “Aunt Joanne, but Uncle Zane is still in good health, isn’t he?”

Joanne froze, momentarily speechless. Her mind raced.

Joanne didn’t get what she wanted from Alyssa. She’d left home, thinking Zane would come and coax her, but instead, she’d lost 10% of the shares.

Kaia didn’t respond immediately, keeping her answer brief.
