He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 391

Everyone's eyes fell back on Lydia. She stood up, maintaining her poised smile. "I will investigate this matter and report it to my grandfather. Once we find out who is truly responsible, there will undoubtedly be consequences."

Harold sneered and was the first to head for the door. "I look forward to it. Just don't let us down. If we suffered these massive losses because of your incompetence, maybe it's time you step down as the heir."

Because Lydia had been partially raised by the Harrington family, her status in the Thorne family was incredibly high from a young age. Even as a woman, the patriarch had placed high hopes on her. Harold had been dissatisfied for a long time. His son, Lucas, had a great relationship with Lydia, but ever since Lucas was ruined, Lydia hadn't said a single word in his defense.

Now that a crisis had hit, Lydia was skillfully passing the buck. Harold wasn't going to tolerate it anymore.

He stormed into his car and immediately called his subordinates. "Look into Nelson and Lydia's relationship immediately. If this project was terminated because their marriage is falling apart, we are going to strip Lydia of everything she has!"

Lydia had lived too smoothly in the Thorne family. So much so that she felt completely justified dumping the blame on Harold.

She just hadn't expected him to be so disrespectful, directly pointing fingers at her marriage.

The hasty family meeting concluded. Lydia returned to her room and furiously smashed everything on her vanity.

Yvonne called right at that moment, asking about the video.

Lucas was terrified of Nelson. Seeing the video exposed, he firmly believed Lydia was the one who leaked it. After all, he had only sent it to her. He assumed she was terrified the secrets of the past would be revealed and was trying to use Nelson to silence him permanently.

Lucas hated Nelson, but he feared him far more.

He was terrified that even hiding halfway across the world wouldn't save him from Nelson's reach.

So the second the video dropped, he began swearing toxic oaths in all his group chats, frantically clearing his own name and dragging Lydia down with him without a second thought.
