On the other side, Harlan entered alongside Vanessa, and both parties to the lawsuit were present.The trial officially began!The presiding judge made opening remarks, and then it was time for arguments from both sides.Vanessa was the first to stand up. "Your Honor, my client Mr. Harlan accuses Miss Lydia, former chairman of G Group, of embezzlement and colluding with outsiders to drain the company. We request the court to adjudicate and strip Miss Gilford of her position as G Group's boss, transferring the shares to my client Mr. Harlan!"As Vanessa spoke, Jarek immediately countered, "Please present relevant evidence, otherwise we reserve the right to accuse you of defamation!""We certainly have evidence!" Vanessa produced a file bag. "Inside are the evidences of Miss Lydia colluding with outsiders. Judges, please have a look!"Items were taken out from the file bag, surprisingly some were just candid photos of Lydia and Lambert, showing them holding hands intimately, gazing into
Click, click...In an instant, the media was abuzz!The whole room seemed to boil over, almost losing control. Lambert adjusted his breath as he held the roses, taking each step towards Lydia's position.At the sight of Lambert, Lydia's heart nearly stopped.Could this be the surprise he mentioned?Meanwhile, the attention of the crowd shifted to the group following Lambert: Horace, the chairman of LifeCrest Medical Group; Lennon, the heir of Horizon Entertainment Group; and the renowned lawyer Kevin.Goodness, what were these titans gathering for?In the dazzling gaze of the media and audience, Kevin approached the judges, who reluctantly chuckled and seemed to agree to his request.Meanwhile, all attention was drawn to Lambert and his entourage!"Go get her, brother! I'm rooting for you!" Horace patted Lambert's shoulder, while Lennon gave him a thumbs-up.Then, they both stepped aside, assuming the roles of friends and family. Wythe emerged from behind them, winked at Lambert, and
Harlan, consumed by rage and embarrassment, trembled with fury as Mildred dragged him out of the courtroom.Continuing this lawsuit would only turn them into a city-wide joke, though they were already a laughingstock.Before leaving, Harlan cast a hateful glance at Lydia, surrounded by people, before begrudgingly sneaking away.With the abrupt departure of the plaintiff, the lawsuit ended inexplicably.However, the proposal became the highlight after the mansion drama, attracting extensive coverage from major TV stations, igniting fervor.Lambert's proposal continued to be celebrated as the most romantic and unique ever, hands down!Exiting the courtroom hand in hand, Lambert and Lydia headed to Eleganza with their friends to celebrate.Eleganza had closed for the day, specially arranged for the celebration.In the black Maybach, Lydia felt like she was still dreaming. She occasionally glanced at Lambert's profile, feeling somewhat settled.Wythe accompanied Kevin, leaving private spa
The family of three went affectionately to the home goods store to pick out bedsheets and duvet covers.Truth be told, they already had these items in their villa, but Lambert wanted to give Lydia a fresh start, so he decided to redecorate the bedroom according to her preferences.Shopping was always a somewhat exhausting affair, especially for men and children.After browsing through several stores, Wythe started feeling reluctant to continue. To him, weren't bedsheets just for sleeping? Weren't they all more or less the same?Moms could be so troublesome! Despite all the options, he couldn't find anything he liked.So Wythe acted a bit sulky, tugging at his dad's sleeve, "Dad, can we go get ice cream first? Let Mom pick by herself."Lambert lifted Wythe up, "Are you tired? Daddy can carry you, but Mommy might feel lonely picking alone."Wythe frowned, "But it's so boring."Resting his little head on Lambert's shoulder, he pondered for a moment, "How about Mommy joins us for ice crea
Andrew's heart sank as he bitterly closed his eyes.He should have known that if Lydia had feelings for him, she wouldn't have waited until now.But even so, he still wanted to express the feelings he had buried for years. Even if there was only a one in a million chance, he wanted to try.In truth, Andrew deeply regretted it now. If he had known that Lydia would meet someone like Lambert as soon as she returned home, why did he wait until now to speak up?But waiting for so many years had already become a habit, a habit that had turned into a prison, trapping his love for her without daring to take a step forward."Lydia, perhaps it sounds unbelievable to you, but whether you believe it or not, I've liked you for ten years. I even remember when we first started school, you were wearing a light blue dress and smiling as you asked me for directions. It felt like my heart was suddenly struck, and since then, I've liked you!"Lydia still bowed her head in silence. She didn't know what to
Wythe rolled his eyes at Lydia, sitting across from her. "Come on, Mom, everyone in the world can see it except you, right?""You know too?" Lydia asked.Wythe nodded naturally. Otherwise, why would he have listed Uncle Fraine as one of the candidates for Dad?"Okay, you little rascal, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lydia pretended to be angry, patting Wythe's head, but her wrist was caught by Lambert."Do you think you knew too late? Are you regretting it?"Seeing the blazing anger in Lambert's dazzling eyes, Lydia felt it necessary to first soothe the vinegar-loving person at home, so she quickly softened her voice."Lambert, let me explain. I just firmly rejected him just now. Although I was indeed a bit surprised earlier, and my point is, if you had told me about this earlier, I would have kept a bit of distance from Andrew."Lambert's anger subsided slightly at Lydia's words, but he didn't let go of her hand. Instead, he pulled her into his embrace, lowering his head to kiss he
But regardless of others' opinions, May 20th finally arrived in Lydia's anxious heart.Early in the morning, Lambert got up and prepared himself. After he tidied himself up, he called for Wythe.Wythe was particularly excited today. His little face was flushed with excitement.Almost before Lambert called him, he sprang up, quickly brushed his teeth, washed his face, and then changed into the custom-made little suit his dad had specially ordered for him.As for Lydia, she couldn't wait to start preparing even before dawn.Although it wasn't her first time getting married, she felt inexplicably nervous. She distinctly remembered not feeling this anxious and excited when she married Ron years ago.When Lydia emerged from her room fully dressed, Lambert couldn't take his eyes off her.Clad in a white strapless wedding gown, it perfectly hugged her graceful figure, revealing a glimpse of her slender neck and sensually elegant collarbone.Her long hair, slightly curled, cascaded down both
From the moment these two appeared, Lydia sensed Lambert's displeasure. She gently tapped Lambert's hand, indicating him to remain calm.After all, these were Lambert's parents, and regardless, they deserved respect.So Lydia took the initiative to lead Lambert over."Uncle, Aunt, welcome to our engagement ceremony. We're delighted to have you here!"However, Lydia's gesture of goodwill didn't improve Lambert's parents' expressions.Nydia glanced at Lydia with disdain and spoke haughtily, "Who are you? What right do you have to speak to me?"Nydia's obvious disdain and mockery made Lydia feel uncomfortable.Lambert's eyes flickered with a storm of emotions at the words.He stepped forward, standing in front of Lydia. "Sir, Madam, do you have an invitation? If not, please leave. My engagement ceremony doesn't welcome unrelated people!"Nydia's eyes widened at the words, feeling hurt. "Lambert, we raised you, and just because of a woman, you say we're unrelated? Even as ordinary elders,
