Chapter 240 Leave Safely
Joshua was dumbfounded.
Grace was dumbfounded.
Lily was even more dumbfounded.
The entire family in the main hall stood still, looking at Luann in disbelief as if they were hearing things.
Grace angrily shouted, jumping up and pouncing on Joshua, forcefully pulling on his hair.
Joshua yelped in pain, "Are you insane?!"
"Bitch! Bitch! How dare you accuse me!" Grace screamed sharply.
Joshua was confused!
When did he tell Luann?
After he found out about it, he never mentioned it to Luann at all!
"I didn’t!"
"Luann exposed you, and you still won't admit it?!" Grace's face twisted in anger. "My plan was flawless, how could Luann see through it?!"
"So it was you! You were helping her!"
Facing Grace's frantic breakdown, Joshua's face was scratched by her nails.
He was bleeding.
It hurt.
Joshua forcefully pushed her away. "Stay away from me! Look at what you've become!"
Calling her a shrew wouldn't be an exaggeration!
The old lady furrowed her brows and raised her hand.
Two servants immediately came and dragged Grace away.
Grace cursed and yelled, "Joshua! Just wait and see!"
Vito Curtis pondered for a moment and said, "Since Joshua helped Luann out of danger, he did well in this matter."
Joshua's mouth twitched, and he was about to explain.
Luann said, "What reward should Grandfather give him?"
Vito Curtis thought for a moment and gave Joshua two properties and a car.
Joshua's lips moved, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Taking the current situation into account, If he continued to argue, he would only be the one at a disadvantage.
After dealing with these two children, Vito Curtis's gaze fell on Wilber.
Wilber trembled.
He was afraid.
If the Curtis family could be so ruthless to their own family members, let alone him, an outsider.
Wilber knelt down on the ground, trembling all over.
Lily gritted her teeth, waiting for Vito Curtis's judgment.
Alvin approached Luann from behind.
Originally, he was sitting next to Luann.
But Myron and the old lady came over one after another, leaving him without a seat.
"Sister-in-law, do you think Wilber can leave the Curtis family alive?"
Luann lightly nodded. "Of course."
Sure enough, Vito Curtis spoke up amidst Wilber's heightened tension.
"Wilber, go back."
Wilber looked up in surprise. "Huh?"
Vito Curtis repeated, "Go back.
"Give Mr. Gilbert a good bath, change his clothes, and send him back to Gilbert's family."
Lily stood up abruptly!
Vito Curtis gave her a warning look, scaring her into silence.
Wilber was led upstairs in a dazed state, feeling a bit unreal.
He thought he was going to die here today!
After Wilber left, Lily angrily asked her father, "Dad! Are you just going to let Wilber go like that?"
Vito Curtis looked at her coldly and firmly replied, "Lily, I warn you, you are not allowed to punish him either."
Lily gritted her teeth fiercely.
Not punish Wilber? How was that possible? He had made her daughter suffer!
"You're in a rage right now, and the actions you take will be impulsive.
"Calm down, take some time to think it through."
After Vito Curtis finished speaking, he walked upstairs with his cane.
He knew that his eldest daughter was not a fool, and she would eventually come to her senses.
The situation would eventually be resolved.
Myron escorted the elderly lady back home, while Luann was called to the backyard by Alvin.
"Sister-in-law, why didn't I understand Grandpa's words?" Alvin asked.
"Why did Grandpa let Wilber off after he did something so detestable?"
Luann smiled gently and poured him a cup of tea from the teapot on the stone table.
Alvin frowned and took a sip of the tea.
He listened to her clear voice slowly resounding.
"It’s not a trivial matter, and it is not only known to the Curtis family.
"How many people attended Grace's celebration banquet yesterday?"
Alvin thought for a moment. "There must have been around fifty or sixty people."
Luann picked up a cherry and ate it.
"Yes, fifty or sixty people, representing dozens of families."
"Do you think they can really keep the secret?"
Alvin hesitated for a moment.
"How could they not?
"Grandpa has told them to keep it secret, and they wouldn't dare not to listen.
"If it leaks out, Grandpa would definitely not let them off!"
Luann raised her delicate eyebrows slightly. "Oh? So do you think not letting those people off is more important than Grace's future? "
"Of course not."
Alvin was confused by Luann's words and grabbed her wrist.
"My dear sister-in-law, don't play riddles with me.
"With my intelligence, I'm only good enough for playing games."
Luann calmly took her hand back.
"Grace's situation won't escalate, and those people are not idiots, so naturally, they wouldn't willingly offend the Curtis family.
"The biggest hidden danger is actually Wilber. In this incident, he is also a victim.
"If the Curtis family wants to punish him severely and completely silence Wilber..."
Alvin quickly interjected. "They'll have to eliminate the threat thoroughly!"
Exactly.
They would have to uproot Gilbert's family completely.
Luann slowly said, "Even a rabbit will bite when it's angry. If Wilber really becomes an enemy of the Curtis family, although he won't be able to shake the Curtis family in the slightest, Grace's path to stardom will definitely be ruined."
Alvin finally understood belatedly. "So that's how it is!"
No wonder Grandpa not only didn't punish Wilber but also kindly sent him away.
"Wilber is a smart person. As long as the Curtis family no longer troubles him, he has actually gained something from this incident," Luann said, her red lips curling into a beautiful smile.
Alvin patted his chest and looked at Luann with some fear.
This woman usually appeared quiet, but it was obvious that she wasn’t easily fooled or bullied.
Since she could see through Vito Curtis's true intentions, she probably knew that Vito Curtis would do something like this a long time ago.
Why doesn't he have such cunning?
Weak.
He's simply too weak!
"Alright, I'm going back now." Luann stood up.
Alvin hurriedly said, "Let me escort you, sister-in-law."
"No need, someone will come to pick me up," Luann walked to the door and indeed saw a blue sports car parked there.
Joshua's hand emerged from the car window and lightly tapped on the body, producing a crisp sound.
Luann got into the car.
The door was locked.
The window rolled up.
Joshua started the car and accelerated away.
"Luann, are you intentionally trying to provoke our family's relationship?"
