The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Let the Lockwood Family and Noelle Lockwood Fight Like Dogs, So No One Has It Easy

In the car, Rose Lowell was still being stubborn. "Look, our Noelle is so sensible. Who are you trying to disgust by bringing Estelle Lockwood back?"

Austin Lockwood’s face was stern. "Then what do you suggest? Don’t you know what people are saying? You may have no shame, but I still have my pride! If the Lockwood Group goes bankrupt, we’ll all be out on the street!"

Rose Lowell knew that, of course. She had just spoken rashly, her heart filled with resentment.

She gritted her teeth. "Fine, she can come back, but let’s get one thing straight. If she bullies Noelle like she did seven years ago, I swear I won’t let it go! The true young lady of the Lockwood Family has to be Noelle. Someone as low-class as Estelle Lockwood is not worthy of our family!"

Noelle Lockwood lowered her eyes, a silent smile on her lips.

’Everything is going just as I expected.’

’Even if Estelle Lockwood has returned, she’ll never truly be accepted by the Lockwood Family. As long as we can placate her this time, the Lockwood Family can leverage the Sloan Family’s power to make a comeback. And I, the young lady of the Lockwood family, will continue to crush her.’

’Once the Lockwood Family rises to prominence in Crestfall again, who will care that its heiress is an imposter?’

Austin Lockwood, however, furrowed his brow. He felt that Rose Lowell was being far too optimistic.

’Whether Estelle Lockwood is even willing to return is another matter entirely. Why do they assume that just because we’ve shown up, she’ll forget all our past grievances and come back to the Lockwood Family with us?’

Rose Lowell, however, was completely unconcerned. "When she returned seven years ago, wasn’t she desperate for our love? We just have to toss her a few scraps, and she’ll come wagging her tail like a puppy. What are you so worried about?"

Austin Lockwood frowned slightly.

’Could it really be that simple?’

’Estelle Lockwood has clearly changed so much...’

’But no matter what, we are her biological parents. She has to show us at least that much respect, right?’

The news that the Lockwoods had come looking for their daughter spread like wildfire throughout Star Tower.

Rose Lowell strutted into the lobby, head held high, as if she already owned the place.

However, the employees bustling back and forth didn’t spare them a single glance.

Noelle Lockwood’s expression turned grim. ’I’m a superstar! I’m used to being the center of attention wherever I go, and now even these nobodies are ignoring me?!’

Rose Lowell seethed. "What does Estelle Lockwood think she’s doing, giving us the cold shoulder? If we take back such an ill-bred daughter, the Lockwood Family will be a laughingstock!"

"Just keep your mouth shut!" Austin Lockwood had just started to scold her when he saw Estelle Lockwood approaching.

A smile instantly appeared on his face, the change so quick he could have been a stage performer. "Estelle, you’re here!"

Estelle Lockwood remained silent, but her assistant immediately spoke up. "President Lockwood, it’s them. They don’t have an appointment, refused to identify themselves, and have been causing a disturbance in the lobby."

Estelle Lockwood cast a sidelong glance at the group.

Rose Lowell’s anger flared instantly. They had waited half an hour for Estelle Lockwood, and not only did she fail to show, but now her assistant was being passive-aggressive?!

"Estelle Lockwood, is this any way to treat your mother and father?!"

The assistant feigned surprise. "Mother and father? Oh, you must be the famous President and Mrs. Lockwood?"

Rose Lowell was about to call the assistant a blind fool when she heard the woman start apologizing profusely, though the apology itself sounded stranger and stranger.

"I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry! I didn’t recognize you. The thought never even crossed my mind! After all, who could have guessed that the esteemed President and Mrs. Lockwood would have the nerve to come looking for *you*, President Lockwood. It’s my fault, really. I just couldn’t imagine that people this shameless actually exist."
