Chapter 215
Reminded by something Lydia said, Andrew shot Locas a warning look, his tone annoyed. “Stay away from Emily for the next few days. Don’t go looking
for her
Andrew really couldn’t figure out what was up with Lucas lately. Lucas was so hung up on t
Emily that he was even ignoring Lydia
“Didn’t Lucas notice how heartbroken Lydia was after her birthday party got ruined?‘ Andrew wondered.
Lucas wanted to explain, but when he saw the angry, cold looks on his parents‘ and Andrew’s face, he just felt completely powerless inside. It felt like no matter what he said or did, it wouldn’t make a difference.
He suddenly didn’t want to explain anymore. Lucas lowered his head in silence and said quietly. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have said something that could
be misunderstood”
Lucas let out a sigh and looked at Lydia with genuine sincerity. “Lydia, will you forgive me?”
Seeing Lucas treat her the way he used to, Lydia let out a quiet sigh of relief.
She quickly wiped away her tears and broke into a smile. “How could I ever blame you, Lucas? I know you didn’t do it on purpose
Seeing Lydia let it go so easily, the rest of the Bennett Family, of course, had nothing more to say.
The warm, friendly vibe was back in the air, like that little episode just now never even happened.
But once everyone had gone their separate ways and Lydia returned to her room, her smile vanished, replaced by a cold, gloomy look. Lately, nothing in her life was going right.
Ever since she joined the Bennett Family, she’d never slipped up in front of them, but now, she could clearly feel Lucas’s attitude starting to change
Just what the hell is wrong with that idiot?” Lydia fumed inwardly, frustration bubbling up inside her. ‘And then there’s Sofia:
Lydia had thought Sofia was clever, but she still ended up messing everything up.
Lydia couldn’t care less about whatever drama was going on inside the Jenkins family. What really pissed Lydia off was that Sofia just had to drag Xavier into this mess and cause her lots of trouble.
But luckily, Lydia had managed to cover all that up. It wouldn’t cause her any real trouble. What truly made her feel uneasy and troubled was something Emily had said before.
Unable to hold it in any longer, she blurted out, “Are you sure there won’t be any problems with Bob’s death
But Lydia let out a heavy sigh of relief, as if she’d just received some kind of assurance
“No, I can’t just sit here and do nothing. Lydia thought anxiously. Without hesitation, she quickly pulled out her phone. Lydia switched to another SIM card she barely ever used and sent a message to a hidden contact saved as Cale
After sending the message, Lydia carefully hid the contact again. Even after all that, Lydia still couldn’t put her mind at ease
