Horace's words brought a satisfied smile to Odelia’s face, greatly fulfilling her sense of vanity. Such high-tech equipment was not something everyone had the opportunity to use.While Odelia closed her eyes, Horace gave Lambert a meaningful glance. When he received Lambert's call yesterday, he was shocked, thinking that Lambert had regained his memory.Lambert’s natural way of assigning tasks caught him off guard. However, meeting him today, Horace realized he had overthought it.Seeing Lambert personally bringing Odelia made him extremely curious and unable to resist asking.As soon as they left the ward, Horace hurriedly asked, "Lambert, what’s going on? Have you regained your memory?"Seeing his friend’s anxious expression, Lambert couldn’t help but smile. "I haven’t regained my memory, but I know what I need to know.""And Lydia…?""We’re back together, and I know she is the one I love, my wife."“That’s good to hear. Sorry for not telling you sooner…” Horace felt a bit guilty, a
After leaving the hospital, Odelia was in a very good mood. Once they got in the car, she took the initiative to speak. "Lambert, are you heading to the company now?"Lambert paused, not answering directly. "Do you have something in mind?""If you have time, could you come with me to meet my family? They’ve been asking me when we’re getting married, so…""You should talk to my mom about that; she’s handling everything. Besides, there’s no need for a meeting. I’m very busy these days."Odelia felt a bit embarrassed by his response. She had thought he was quite patient with her earlier.Why did he seem to change his attitude as soon as they left the hospital? Could Dr. Horace have said something to him? After all, they were good friends!Lambert, on the other hand, didn’t care about her thoughts. He felt his task was done and saw no need to continue playing along.After dropping Odelia off at the Halsey house, Lambert left, clearly stating to Nydia and the others that he would be very b
Odelia glared at Jo with a mocking smile on her face. "You always act without thinking. I told you, he’s not my boyfriend; we’re just discussing work! Now you've ruined everything! Jo, you might as well change your name to Joke!"Her sarcasm made Jo’s eyes redden with fury. He was so enraged that he swung his fist at Odelia. Odelia instinctively screamed, but the punch never landed on her; it was intercepted.Jo, even more furious, shouted at Odelia, "You say you have nothing to do with this pretty boy, but he’s protecting you?"The detective was also annoyed. He had come for a business discussion and ended up in this mess.More importantly, he hadn't even finalized the business with Odelia.If she left now, his trip would be wasted. Infuriated, the detective stepped forward and punched Jo, knocking him to the ground.Jo could only watch as Odelia and the detective walked away together.After they left, someone emerged from a corner of the café, shaking their phone. "Well, well, this
"Aunt Flora, there's no need to worry. Uncle and Auntie are very understanding, and they’ve already agreed to this," Odelia assured.Flora, though surprised, was impressed by Odelia's tactics. "Alright then, I’ll handle the arrangements.""Thank you, Aunt Flora.""Don't mention it. We're family."After hanging up, Flora's card-playing companions couldn't help but be curious. "Flora, it seems your niece really trusts you. She calls you for everything. You treat her like she’s your own."Flora smirked. "Of course. This child lost her parents early, and we’ve raised her. Plus, she’s about to marry into the Halsey family. I have to support her."The other ladies looked at Flora with envy.Why didn’t they have a niece like hers, effortlessly securing a place in a prestigious family?Flora was pleased, feeling it was a worthwhile investment.Meanwhile, the media had been restless, with no new exciting stories for a while. They were tired of the same old news—celebrity romances and new movie
"Think about it, if I marry Lambert in the future, the one who will be hurt the most is you!"Odelia spoke sincerely, touching the reporters with her kindness.But before the emotion could settle, a sudden voice interrupted the scene."Odelia! I return the same words to you! You'd better leave Lambert willingly, or be ready to receive a court summons!"Everyone turned to see Lydia standing at the door, holding Wythe by the hand.Lydia's unexpected arrival caused an uproar; no one had anticipated that the "mistress" Odelia had mentioned would show up so boldly, even bringing a child along!Today, Lydia was dressed in a sharp black business suit skirt, her long black hair elegantly pinned up.The suit perfectly outlined her stunning curves.Beside her, Wythe wore a small shirt and suspenders, his face almost identical to Lambert's, looking stern and mature, instantly charming many in the room.Odelia panicked for a moment, not expecting Lydia to appear so openly! However, there was no r
"Odelia, ..."The sharp questions from the reporters made Odelia's face turn pale.She instinctively covered her belly, trying to feign discomfort to avoid facing the facts.Perhaps she didn't need to pretend, as her excessive nervousness was indeed causing her to feel unwell.At that moment, the hotel door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and two teams of bodyguards entered, forcibly parting the crowd to create a path.The reporters grew even more excited, as if injected with adrenaline. Someone else was coming? It seemed today's dramatic scene was far from over!"Who said Odelia is not part of our family anymore?"Odgen's powerful question instantly gave Odelia confidence. She brightened up and straightened her back, greeting them, "Uncle, Aunt, why are you here?"The appearance of Odgen and Nydia generated another flurry of camera flashes. Under the lights, Nydia smiled gently as she stepped forward to hold Odelia's hand, not even glancing at Lydia as she passed by.Lydia
Just the thought of their usually obedient son defying them ever since meeting this woman made the old couple feel extremely frustrated."Lydia, don't get too proud of yourself. Lambert is only temporarily infatuated with you. Who knows what the future holds? You better watch yourself!" Odgen's words showed mild disapproval, but Nydia's statement clearly placed her on the opposing side.Everyone at the scene was focused on the unfolding events, speculating on what might happen next. Some even wondered if things would escalate into a physical confrontation.Odelia, standing beside Nydia, was visibly pleased.So what if Lydia was with Lambert? Without the approval of the Halsey parents, Lydia's position as their daughter-in-law would always be precarious.No one likes having someone they dislike around constantly.Odelia was particularly pleased because if Lydia and Odgen were on bad terms, it might extend to her child.As long as Odelia could produce a male heir, her position would be
Lydia had long given up on trying to understand what their criteria were for judging if she was a qualified daughter-in-law.Now, she truly didn’t care anymore. As long as Lambert stood firmly by her side, that was enough.Seeing Lydia remain silent, Wythe took the initiative to respond, “That’s not right. My mother taught me well, but I can’t say the same for you. Every time we meet, nine out of ten times it ends in a fight!”“So you always stand by Lydia’s side? Haven’t you considered that this woman might be using you? You’re too young to understand and realize you’re being used,” Odelia chimed in, desperate to assert her presence.Wythe looked at her with utter disdain, “Aunt, it might be impolite, but I seriously doubt your intelligence. This is my mother, the person I love the most, who gave birth to and raised me. If I don’t protect her, should I protect you? Besides, if a person doesn’t love their own mother, are they even human?”Wythe’s words stunned everyone present. They f
