Lydia was still standing on the spot with a stiff smile on her face.
Leo’s expression immediately turned cold. He walked quickly to Lydia and gestured to her with his eyes.
Lydia adjusted her emotions. She chased after Rebecca and handed over the bag she was carrying.
“Mom, this is the lotion kit I ordered from abroad for you—-”
Snapped!
Lydia had put away her former noble appearance and lowered her posture as low as possible. However, Rebecca robbed her before she could even finish her words.
At the same time, she glanced at Lydia, “Who knows whether you brought me the fake.”
Lydia’s expression changed slightly. She quickly explained, “This is the genuine product…”
“It doesn’t matter whether it is genuine or not. As long as it is brought by your family, it is the fake.”
Rebecca didn’t even try to conceal her dislike. She said unkindly, “Besides, don’t call me mom. You are the bastard’s wife, I don’t even admit him. How can I admit you?”
Every word, like a sharp needle, pierced Lydia’s heart, making her feel shocked.
She had lowered her posture and tried her best to be a daughter-in-law to win the favor of her parents-in-law. However, what greeted her was Rebecca’s ruthless deportation.
“So that’s your attitude, Mom?”
This scene made Caroline very dissatisfied. She said in a loud voice, “Lydia greeted you kindly. How can you say that?”
Leo looked at Rebecca coldly. He had thought that Rebecca would be angry with Lydia, but he didn’t expect her yelled at Lydia in undisguised disgust.
“Yecch, are you still my daughter? Just for a while, you even called out her name courteously!”
Rebecca looked at Caroline and squelched with biting sarcasm, “Have you forgotten the shame this woman brought us before?”
“I…”
Caroline suddenly suffocated. She looked at Caroline with a guilty conscience and stopped talking.
In the past, the Ford family tried every means to ride on the L Group’s coattails. They had shown their favor to Lydia more than once. However, Lydia knew that the Ford family often made things difficult for Leo. They humiliated Leo again and again, causing him to lose the position of the project leader.
Now, Caroline had realized the mistake and had been pulling them out of the L Group’s blacklist. She only left Rebecca on the blacklist.
“Mom, why can’t you give up your prejudices and get to know Leo again?”
Caroline asked back, “Don’t you think he is a very responsible person?”
“Shut up, you ungrateful soul!”
Rebecca suddenly cursed and looked at Caroline coldly, “No matter what you say, I will never forgive him!”
Caroline’s eyes were full of surprise, “You are incurable!”
William also shouted with sullen eyes, “Apologize to Lydia soon!”
Rebecca was suddenly unhappy, “What do you mean? She is just the bastard’s wife. Do you want me to apologize to her?”
“Aren’t you going to apologize? If you don’t apologize, I will divorce you!” William suddenly said coldly.
When these words came out, everyone was taken aback.
Rebecca’s eyes widened in disbelief, and she pointed at William with trembling fingers, “You, you…you want to divorce me for her?!”
“Dad, what are you talking about?”
Caroline was also puzzled. She could not understand why her father became radical all of a sudden.
The secret of this was only vaguely understood by Leo.
“If you don’t want to divorce, you apologize.”
William approached Rebecca step by step, staring into her eyes, “Now, I am not afraid to divorce you.”
Rebecca was shocked and outraged. Previously she thought that William was only showing verbal threats. However, when she saw the cold look in William’s eyes, she understood that William didn’t joke with her.
Immediately, she became frightened.
“Okay, William, you win…”
When she said this, Rebecca shivered with anger. Then she looked at Lydia, gritted her teeth and said, “I’m sorry!”
Lydia quickly waved her hand, “Mom, you don’t need to apologize. I’m fine…”
“Lydia, you just accept it.”
William waved his hand and said stubbornly, “It’s a blessing for the Ford family to have you as a daughter-in-law. If this woman dares to yell at you again in the future, just tell me and I’ll teach her a lesson!”
Rebecca’s eyes suddenly turned red. She trembled with anger, “William, I shouldn’t have married you in the first place. Damn it! You pissed me off!”
After speaking, she ran into her room again and closed the door heavily.
Now the family status was obvious. Rebecca suddenly fell from the decision-maker to the bottom of the Ford family. It was just because she made things difficult for Lydia.
William was indifferent with a sneer on his face, “Don’t think I don’t know why the Ford family helped me when I was completely down and out. It’s because I’m from Valenham.”
Lydia heard it clearly. She suddenly showed a surprise in her eyes, “Dad, are you from Valenham too?”
“Yes.”
William seemed to be a different person when he was talking to Lydia. There was a gentle expression on his face.
Caroline, who was on the side, looked surprised and muttered to herself, “I can only feel that dad treats Lydia better than his daughter.”
Leo immediately patted her head, “Don’t think in this way.”
Caroline felt the pain in her head. She touched the place Leo had patted and smiled instantly.
Without Rebecca, everyone felt that everything goes well. It seemed to return to the past.
After learning that William’s hometown was also in Valenham, Lydia felt closer to William.
“Dad, where are you from in Valenham? I’m from the Center District.”
“Oh, you are from the Center District. I am not. I am from the Eastern District.”
“Come on over, the dishes are cold. Let’s go in and chat while eating…”
Lydia glanced upstairs carefully, “I’m going to call Mom—-”
However, William stopped her, “No, it’s better to have dinner without her. We won’t be getting annoyed.”
Leo smiled slightly to signal her. Then Lydia gave up.
On the second floor.
Rebecca sat alone on the bed. Listening to the laughter downstairs from time to time, her whole face became gloomy.
“Leo, Lydia, how dare you isolate me?”
“I will definitely not make it easier for you, absolutely not…”
In the dimly lit room, Rebecca’s curse that was filled with murderous intent echoed continuously for a long time.
Jingle bell—-
Soon, the useless curse was interrupted by a shrill phone ringing.
“Who are you?”
Rebecca answered the phone impatiently.
There was a burst of mechanical laughter with a changed voice on the phone, “It sounds that Mrs. Ford is not in a good mood?”
“Who are you?” Rebecca suddenly became vigilant.
People who dare not use their real voice were in all likelihood bad persons with wicked hearts.
“You don’t need to know who I am. You just need to know I know why you are troubled.”
The mysterious mechanical voice rattled and said, “Besides, I can solve your troubles.”
The scene of Leo and Lydia, and Emilia lying on the ground covered all over with blood immediately appeared in Rebecca’s mind. But she quickly shook her head, “Why should I trust you?”
“Ho ho, I will only say it once. You have to listen carefully.”
On the phone, the mysterious voice paused for a while. Then the caller spoke slowly.
“Lydia must not marry into the Ford family. Otherwise, your good days will come to an end.”
“Because she is…”
Buzzing—-
The voice on the phone was intermittent, but Rebecca could still hear the content.
Suddenly, her pupils shrank, and the phone in her hand fell to the ground.
