This "they" was meaningful.
Talia was startled. Her eyes flashed with an imperceptible panic, "What...what are you talking about? Who is the illegitimate child? I married your dad. Phoebe was not illegitimate child long ago.”
Would this bitch know everything? Otherwise, why did she say “they”?
But how was it possible!
Talia was panicked. Her face turned pale.
Seeing her guilty conscience, Violet sneered with her arms crossing on her chest, "So what? It can't change that she has been an illegitimate daughter for more than ten years!"
"You..." Talia raised her hand angrily, wanting to slap Violet.
Eason stopped her, looking so angry, "Enough! What are you doing? Don’t you feel ashamed?"
"I'm ashamed?" Talia shook off his hand, "What did I do to make you ashamed? This damn girl dared to say such words to me. I can't teach her a lesson?"
"It's not your turn to teach my daughter a lesson!" As soon as Talia finished speaking, Lily's voice sound coldly behind Violet.
Violet smiled and turned back, "Mom, you are here."
Lily nodded, walked a few steps forward to Violet and then stopped. She first glared at Talia viciously, then turned her gaze to Violet, "My dear, did these two bitches bully you?"
Violet waved her hand, "No."
She bullied them.
"Good." Lily breathed a sigh of relief, her face also eased.
Eason looked at Lily with complicated eyes, "Lily, why do you think we are so bad? Violet is my daughter. How could I..."
"Stop your bullshits!" Lily sneered, "Now, you treat Violet as your daughter. You didn't say such words when you drove the three of us out of the house seven years ago."
Eason opened his mouth and was speechless.
Lily didn't bother to pay attention to him. She held Violet's hand, "Let's go, baby. Leave them alone. In the future, if you see them, just hide away. Don't get bad luck."
"Got it." Violet responded with a smile.
The mother and daughter gradually walked away, and soon entered the court. Only Eason with a gloomy face and Talia with a gloomy face were left outside the door.
Talia pinched Eason's arm, "See, they are all gone. You regret divorcing her back then and driving your son and daughter out of the house?"
Eason didn't speak, his old eyes drooping slightly.
He really regretted it now. Back then, he just thought that Lily was too strong and she wanted to take care of him everywhere. Even she wanted to manage the Hunt Group. He couldn't bear this kind of life, so he divorced Lily and married Talia.
Unexpectedly, Talia didn’t know anything but knew how to spend money. She couldn’t get in the circle of rich ladies and couldn’t bring any help to the Hunt Group and him. So was Phoebe. It was not easy for her to replace Violet and became Stanley's fiancée. But after five years, she didn’t make Stanley fall in love with her. In the end, it was still Violet who made Stanley love her and got married with Stanley.
If Eason had known that things would develop into the way it was today, he wouldn’t be so impulsive back then and divorced Lily. Besides, he wouldn’t drive his daughter and son out of the Hunt family. Otherwise, the Hunt family would not go bankrupt now. Maybe the Murphy Group would help him for the sake of the marriage between the Hunt family and the Murphy family.
Thinking of this, Eason looked at Talia even more unpleasantly.
He fully believed that the cause of all this today was because of marrying Talia.
But he never thought about that he himself was wrong.
Although Talia and Eason had only been husband and wife for seven years, they had been together for more than 20 years. She knew Eason clearly, so she knew what he was thinking with just one glance.
"What? You blame me now?" Talia smiled angrily.
Eason's old face sank, "Well, what's the use of saying these now? The court time is coming. Let's go in."
Lily really continued. Sometimes, she cried and sometimes, she laughed for a while. It took a long time to stop.
"Baby, are you busy next?" Lily asked.
Violet shook her head, "I'm not busy."
"Then accompany me to have a drink. I am so happy today and want to celebrate." Lily said, and then took out her mobile phone to search a bar.
Violet didn't even have a chance to refuse. So she could only helplessly follow the bar address Lily provided, turn around and drove over.
Perhaps because Lily wanted to vent herself, she drank a lot. Then she got drunk and fell on the booth.
Violet put down the juice in her hand, looked at Lily who was lying on the table and still scolding Eason and felt a little sad.
She knew that her mother really loved Eason back then, so her mother would hate him so much after being divorced and abandoned. Because of this, she was so happy when Eason lost to her today. She was so happy that she got herself drunk.
Violet got up and lifted the hair on Lily's face, ready to help her sit up.
At this time, the phone in her bag rang.
Violet had to let go of Lily's arms first, and took the phone out of her bag. Seeing the caller ID, she quickly answered, "Hey, Stanley."
Hearing the noise coming from her side and the deafening music, Stanley pulled a long face. Then he asked in a deep voice, "Where are you?"
"I'm at the bar." Violet replied, looking around.
Stanley pursed his thin lips, "What are you doing in the bar?"
He went to her company to pick her up, but was told that she had not returned to the company all afternoon. The court had closed early, so he called her.
Unexpectedly, she was pretty cool that she even went to the bar.
