Chapter 162 - A Happy Great-Grandmother

Luna fell asleep on Sabrina's lap while she stroking Luna's hair softly. Feeling sympathy for what happened at her. Her eyelash is still wet from her tears and she had a big dark circle under her eyes. Her nose was a bit red, her complexion was pale, and she looks thinner than the last time she met her. She looks so sorrowful with her loss this time.

Victoria's chest pump in and she exhale it a bit loud. Still unsatisfied with why no one of her family is here to help Luna. They already returned back to the mansion just after the funeral ceremony settled. She then looked at Liam and before both of Carson walk to the study room.

When they stride inside the room, Victoria huff and sit on the single chair, while Liam takes a seat next to the old lady. Both of Mr. Carson standing straight at the corner of the room, waiting for Victoria to says something.

"So, I need to know the details of what happened when I was away. Where is Raymond when she needs him?" She glances at Charles and he lowered his head a little.

Inhaling deeply, he ready to tell the head of the house of what happens to them. He starts from when Raymond decides to return to New York and a series of the story when all of the workers in this house suddenly got fired and need to empty the house. Full instruction from the main mansion and a series of when they met with Dr. Fang and his explanation to which make Luna falls into depression and how she ends up alone in her family funeral.

All of them in the room shock to hear what has happened to them except for Charles. For the whole five minutes, he could clearly saw Victoria keep clenching her jaw, tighten her fist and flare up her nostrils with anger.

"I knew he can't take over my place." She said while seething her resentment toward her own son. Her eyes flare with fire and she feels like she could kill someone right now.

Liam silently agrees with his grandma. It was his fault too for not taking up the role she had given to him last time and let this happen to the poor girl. What his father did is inhuman. He is mentally sick just like how his mother tell him when he was younger.

"I can't kill my own son, can I?" Victoria turns her head to Liam which is surprised by her question and blinks his eyes a few times to his grandmother.

"Well..by law..you can't. But you can bring him into custody by law." He tries to reason with his grandmother. Although he long ago feels the same way as she is now when his father hit his mother right in front of his eyes, his father humiliated his mother when he was just a child. His father also spits on his face when he tries to protect his mother from his assault. He long wished that his father was dead or hit by the truck and never reborn again.

Victoria rubs her forehead and sighs. "I don't know why I give birth to such an evil person. He was a good boy when he's younger. He's was just…fine before he met that woman." She referring to Barbara which Liam also feels the same way as his grandmother. Based on how her mother describes his father was a good man before he suddenly turns 360 degrees after he met that woman.

"I couldn't risk Wayne's name get humiliated in front of the public with me putting my son behind the bars, it will tarnish all of my husband's ancestor work. What should I do?" She tapped her hand on her armrest before suddenly her eyes lit up again.

"Liam!" She turns to look at him again which Liam already could guess what's on her mind.

"I don't think so, grandma. I really don't want to-" He was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

"This is the only way, Liam. For a temporary, please..until Sky is twenty-two and can manage to take over the position or when Raymond is back on the right path. You'll have to teach Sky from a very young age. Sky's the only heir I have right now. And then you can have your freedom back. I promise you, you can marry Sabrina right away and I give you my full authority. You were by public eye's is a 'bad son' of James, if you do the 'revenge' , no one will questioning you. No one will judge you as you have the right to brought law to your own father."

Liam pressed his lips tighter before he shakes his head. "No, grandma...I can't, Sky's just 9 months old. I have to wait for a long year before I could have my own freedom. Why not you just dismiss the contract from Raymond's marriage, give Luna a good life as you promise her before and let them both find their own happiness? No crossing each other life anymore?" He lifts up one eyebrow.

"And ruin all my husband's ancestor's work? Giving them more power to step on other family members? Do you think he would let Luna live? No, Liam…I think he will kill Luna too. No, wait…I think..he gonna kill all of his family and only left him, Raymond, Ramona and his bitchy wife, Barbara. Is that what you want?"

"I'm old, Liam...I don't know how long I can live..how would I face my husband when I failed to fulfill his last wish? I couldn't let Henry or Harry risk their life when their own mother's life is at the stake. I have to protect them too. I have no other heir unless you give me one right now."

Charles coughs a bit which then makes the two of them turn to the man.

"I'm very sorry ma'am..but, um...I think lady Luna is now pregnant with Raymond's child. Still not test it yet, but there are possibilities." Charles said while hanging his head down. He had to tell them this news as it also regarding her life. Like what Victoria said, James probably will hunt her down and let only his family alive if he was about to rule the whole company.

Victoria's eyes widened and she gasps before she covers her hand on her mouth. "Are you sure, Charles?" She asked. Surprised and happy at the same time.

"As I state it before, it still not confirmed yet, but she was late on her…period."

"It could happen when she's stress. And isn't she not meeting Raymond for over the past four months?" Liam scrunches his eyebrow a bit. If Luna was pregnant, they can see her baby bump by now.

Shakes his head, Charles said again. "Actually, I think..she had an 'intimate session' with Raymond last month before he went to Abu Dhabi for business. But they both didn't resolve their 'problem' that night."

Victoria face-palming herself with Raymond's attitude. "That stupid boy…" She grunts while Liam was startled a bit. "They had sex but not resolving anything? Wow.." He thought after having sex, a couple will always resolve something, just like how he and Sabrina are always 'solving' something each time.

"So, what we're gonna do? Luna is now bearing Raymond's child and if this news got leaked she probably gonna hunt down by father." Liam turns to look at Victoria's side face.

Sighing, Victoria feels like she's not gonna live long enough with the stress she had now and she also needs to return back to the bunker soon. "How about, you consider my offer? And for now..could you take Luna under your care? I should be returned back in a week after launching the project with the president and other corporate partners, by that time..please, consider my offer."

Holding her old wrinkled hand, Liam smile at her. "Don't worry, grandma..you will live long. I believe we can bring him to custody without harming Wayne's name. I'll think way later. But you…please take care of your health, okay?"

Giggles, Victoria nod her head. "Oh..I hope I could live longer and see my great-grandchildren. Either from you, Luna or seeing how my other great-grandchildren from all of my bloodline."

"I'm sure you already a happy great-grandmother too now."
