Semua Bab A Heartwarming Marriage: Bab 171 - Bab 180

Elizabeth hadn't expected Robert to blame her. She was shocked by his angry outburst, and so was Melvin, who was lying in bed. "What do you mean it's my fault? Isn't Melvin your son too?" Elizabeth retorted.Melvin was Robert's only son. He would have to lead the Bardot family in the future."If he wasn't my son, would I have gone to such great lengths to clean up his messes? I did it because he's my only heir and because he'll have to take over our family in the future. "But look at him—he's already 22 years old and still behaves so improperly! He spends his time in bars to hit on women. He even led his lackeys to harass someone this time. He's lucky that they didn't kill him."It's all your fault. You've always indulged him and let him do whatever he wants. He thinks he's a big deal. He's tactless and unknowledgeable. He always hangs out with unsavory individuals. "Do you think someone like him deserves to inherit everything our family owns? You better hope he didn't mess wi

Lucille didn't want to interfere in Robert's business. She was just giving him a friendly reminder. After all, he was a genuine philanthropist. Although he had only done his good deeds in hopes that what went around would come around and benefit Melvin, the fact remained that he had helped many poor families.The Bardot family was one of the few open and aboveboard families in West Yodran, with no scandals except for the worrisome Melvin. Robert had taken over the Bardot family when he'd been 20 years old, and he was almost 50 years old now. It'd been over two decades since then, but there was nothing marring his spotless reputation.It was rare that he'd been able to resist temptation and uphold righteousness and integrity in the business world, which could lead to deception and clouded judgment.He'd played a huge role in Bardot Group's achievement.Although he had a good-for-nothing son, the people in West Yodran still respected him and were aware of everything he'd done."

After breakfast, Lucille and the others went their separate ways. When Lucille and Bailey returned to Whiteloop City, they threw themselves into their work.However, after her trip to West Yodran, Lucille was fraught with worry.…After talking with Lucille, Robert returned to Bardot Group to deal with some company affairs. He only went to Scentridge Hospital in West Yodran at noon.He hadn't expected to meet Lucille by coincidence, especially not because of the mess Melvin had created.Moreover, he'd also been unprepared for the bad news about Jane's passing. He'd been both thrilled and filled with sympathy, making him feel like he was on an emotional roller coaster. When Elizabeth saw Robert in the hospital room, she asked, "Did you find out who hurt Melvin?"Robert replied, "Yes. I did."Elizabeth continued, "Did you take care of those bitches? How did you deal with them? Anyone who dares to hurt Melvin must pay a heavy price!"Melvin, who was lying in the hospital bed and

Lucille called Marie before she left home; she was worried that the latter might be concerned after seeing the news."I'm sorry for not informing you this earlier, Grandma." Actually, Lucille was worried that Marie might get angry. Marie replied understandingly, "Don't be sorry, you silly girl. Just do what you think is right. I'll always be on your side." Lucille had doubted if she was really a Johnson. But Marie had always doted on her and prioritized her. If she wasn't a Johnson, Marie had no reason to trust her unconditionally. So, she'd dismissed this doubt every time she thought about Marie. "Thank you, Grandma." "Alright, you should continue with your work. I'm fine; don't worry about me." After Marie ended the call, Casey, who'd also seen the news, asked worryingly, "Madam Marie, seeing what Mr. Johnson Senior did, do you think Ms. Lucy will be…" Marie sighed and calmly said, "Fate will take its course. It doesn't look like the Johnson family will ever repay wha

William looked at Lucille's arrogant expression and scolded her. "You're still making excuses after beating Melvin up so badly that he ended up in the ICU two days ago? You've gotten quite bold, haven't you?" Lucille lay on the couch and twirled a strand of hair before lazily looking up at William. "So is that why you're cutting ties with me, my beloved father?" Lucille asked knowingly. William admitted it, his words cold and cruel, "You bet I am! You're the one who caused trouble, and we have no reason to take responsibility for your actions!" Lucille wasn't angry. Instead, she laughed mockingly. "No reason, huh? Who was the one who begged me to get Sabrina into the National Piano Association, saying a family should help each other when they found out I'm White Chamomile? But now you're saying we're not a family?" Lucille taunted them, saying, "You Johnsons are truly heartless, aren't you? You talked endlessly about morality and righteousness. But in reality, you're utterl
