Chapter 582: Grandpa Always Knew
Originally, Tina had taken Liliosa to meet Amber, telling her that Amber was her daughter. In fact, she wasn't. Liliosa's actual daughter's whereabouts were unclear to her, and she preferred it that way. It was merely to make Liliosa believe she had reunited with her daughter so that the two could share their sufferings together.
Grandpa Brookes grunted, "Yes, she was found, but sadly, she was no longer recognizable. When she was found, both her kidneys were gone and she died shortly after."
Tina remembered that the Reed family had once asked CK to find Liliosa's daughter. Unexpectedly, CK was the real culprit behind everything.
"Joshua has been using his status as a botanist all these years, searching for targets in foreign universities to amass wealth for CK, while Vivienne managed things domestically. Both exploited the Farrell family's identity to cover up many criminal acts." After handing Joshua over to the Brookes family, Tina never interfered again, mainly not wanting to reopen Jared's old wounds.
Tina didn't want to inquire further into Joshua's actions, which turned out to be more heinous than she could have imagined. After all, what good could come from a disciple of the Five Poisons?
Grandpa Brookes chuckled, "Tina, did he ever mention wanting to meet someone from the Brookes family?"
"Yes, he probably wants to meet the daughter of the Five Poisons," Tina shared her thoughts with Grandpa Brookes.
Grandpa Brookes agreed, "Unfortunately, he won't be able to meet Angela, but he can meet the other members of the Brookes family. How about we all go see him tomorrow?"
Tina looked at Grandpa Brookes, her eyes narrowing slightly. Suddenly, she felt that Grandpa Brookes seemed to know everything.
Grandpa Brookes smiled at Tina and gently tapped her head, "Tina, Grandpa knows, the bond between us cannot be severed."
A sudden sharpness hit Tina's nose. She wasn't wrong. Grandpa knew everything. But for her safety, he kept his feelings to himself and chose not to acknowledge their relationship. Tina choked up, nodding heavily, "Yes, the bond between me and Grandpa can never be broken."
Grandpa Brookes' smile deepened, his eyes clearing somewhat, as he continued walking through the garden with Tina's hand in his.
The next day, all members of the Brookes family went to a secret prison.
Tina stayed by Grandpa Brookes' side, with everyone following behind. The poison inside Joshua was recurring, tormenting his body and mind.
All members of the Brookes family watched from outside, none showing any sympathy. This was the punishment he deserved.
Joshua writhed on the ground, his forehead dripping with sweat, howling like a wild beast.
Rachel could barely watch, her head half-lowered, feeling nauseated.
After half an hour, Joshua's howls gradually subsided. He lay on the ground for a long time before casually sitting up, scanning everyone present, and let out a heavy laugh. "Tina, you're quite capable, bringing everyone here?"
Tina, lifting her gaze disdainfully, her lips curving, replied, "Watching a monkey show has its own charm."
A flash of anger crossed Joshua's face as he banged heavily on the iron bars before him.
Regardless of how he vented his anger, it did not affect Tina in the slightest.
"Tina, your mom is already dead, and soon it will be your turn!"
Tina yawned indifferently, "Hmm, I'm waiting."
Brandon, upon hearing the conversation, stepped forward and turned off the electricity to the iron bars.
Joshua's hands were tightly gripping the bars when suddenly the electricity was cut, causing him to convulse violently.
"Shut your damn mouth," Brandon muttered, nearly bursting with the urge to rush in and punch Joshua.
However, Joshua, seemingly insane, lay on the ground laughing uproariously. "You must be Brandon, right? Falling for your enemy's daughter, what a thought, haha! Old man, your son likes Angela, and you're not stopping it?"

Before Brandon could lash out, Grandpa Brookes intervened. "Angela is like a daughter to me; I've raised her well. She respects me greatly. If she reciprocates Brandon's feelings, I'm prepared to offer her a generous dowry. Joshua, what would your master think if he knew his daughter would someday call his enemy 'father'?"
Tina burst out laughing; Grandpa Brookes really knew how to hit where it hurt.
It was clear Joshua was desperate to see Angela, indicative of how much Five Poisons valued his daughter.
By saying this, Grandpa Brookes was deliberately provoking Five Poisons, effectively stabbing at his devoted disciple's heart.
Furious, Joshua stood up. "Shut up! Let Angela come to see me!"
Grandpa Brookes replied calmly, "Angela won't come to see you. When she left, she said if Five Poisons died, she would dig up his ashes to atone for her sins."
"It's all because of you!" Joshua screamed, his body wracked with agony as the toxins within him were stirred once again.
Jack, tired of his ranting, pressed a button, and water sprayed from an opening above Joshua's cell, drenching him.
Tina administered a sedative to calm him, for it was difficult to interrogate him in his frenzied state.
"Joshua, tell us how your master kidnapped Alina back then!" Jack demanded.
Rachel, standing behind the group, felt as though her insides were being twisted in knots. She stared at Joshua, at a loss for what to do next.
If he really knew, what would she do? She was the major reason Alina had been kidnapped!
No, it couldn't be. Five Poisons wouldn't bother telling Joshua such things.
He must be bluffing!

After a moment, Joshua, lying on the ground, chuckled hoarsely, "Death comes swiftly, eradicate the root. Old man, your daughter has been turned into a specimen. She didn't even close her eyes in death, a beautiful sight. Want to know where she is?"
Grandpa Brookes looked down, "Let's go."
Tina had no desire to stay any longer.
It was clear Joshua was spouting nonsense.
Without Angela, he wouldn't tell the truth.
Rachel also breathed a sigh of relief then, confident now that Joshua was merely bluffing.
She was the first to leave, but suddenly Joshua called out to her, "You're the Brookes family's adopted daughter, right? Quite beautiful, with a bright future, hahaha."
Rachel's legs went weak.
Joshua truly knew everything!
Back then, after Rachel had knocked Alina unconscious, Five Poisons had said the very same thing!
Rachel had thought with Five Poisons gone, no one else knew about her involvement in Alina's kidnapping.
Yet, there was still Joshua!
Scarlett supported her, "It's okay, he can't get out. Let's go."
