From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257

Charles said angrily, “You dare to bully Emily right in front of me? Who knows what you’ve done to her behind my back!

“The Bennett family is in business. If you love putting on a show, why don’t you set up a stage out on the street? I’m sure people would love to watch your performance.” Charles looked at everyone and finally fixed his gaze on Lydia.

It was the first time Charles had ever called Lydia out in front of everyone. He’d never liked her, but she was still part of the Bennett family by blood and always had the others backing her up.

As an elder, Charles couldn’t just hold a grudge against his granddaughter. But at that moment, he was at his limit.

Lydia never expected Charles to explode and insult her so harshly. Her face was full of fear and grievance, but she didn’t dare talk back to Charles. Instead, she buried her face in Lucas’s chest, sobbing silently.

Even Gale obediently put his hands under the table and kept his head down, not daring to say a word.

But Lucas was always impulsive, and standing up for Lydia was his instinct. Before he even realized it, he blurted out, “Grandpa Charles, Lydia isn’t like that. You’re misunderstanding her.

“She’s soft and gentle, but her heart is pure. If she wasn’t, she never would’ve risked her life to save me back then.”

Back then, during a competition in Lightning Valley, he’d accidentally fallen off a cliff. Everyone thought he was dead. His parents had even picked out a cemetery plot for him.

But Lydia never gave up. She searched day and night, and when she finally found him, she carried him all the way back on her own, saving his life.

Just for that alone, Lucas knew he’d always stand firmly by Lydia’s side, no matter what.

Charles knew about what happened in Lightning Valley, too, but he saw things completely differently from Lucas.
