Revenge On My First Love novel Chapter 6

All people held their breath, standing motionlessly in silence.

When the call was connected, Abbott Lawson was feeding his wife, Laura Woods, with the dishes he had prepared.

"Long time no see, Mr. Lawson. How have you been?" the Old Riley asked with a smile.

Abbott put away his phone without glancing at it. "Stop beating around the bush, Nathan. You haven't called me for years. What do you want?"

The Old Riley was taken aback. He answered, "OK. I'll go straight to the point. I heard your son had a girlfriend named Sophia Lawson. Do you know it?"

"Of course. So?"

The Old Riley could tell Abbott's attitude wasn't good, feeling annoyed. After all, he was the same age as Abbott's father, hoping Abbott to respect him.

"You must not know her background. Sophia Lawson has no money and is uneducated. She likes hitting on wealthy men. Years ago, she hit on my grandson because he was rich. Later, she found other men who were more affluent than my grandson, so she dumped him..."

"Grandpa!" Drake stopped him as he couldn't bear to listen any longer.

The Old Riley glared at him and continued on the phone, "Mr. Lawson, you should know I never talk bad about others on their backs. For the sake of our families' friendship, I don't want your son to be deceived. I'm saying those words out of kindness."

Abbott snorted, "Thank you, Mr. Riley. My son isn't too lame to deal with a woman. If there's nothing else, I gotta go."

Without waiting for the Old Riley's response, he ended the call.

Abbott snarled, "I haven't asked him for an explanation. How dare he call me! Have they forgotten how Drake Riley hurt my daughter?"

Laura sneered, "If Sophia hadn't insisted on getting even with them by herself, I would have broken into their house and got even with them long ago."

Who had the guts to bully her daughter must have a death wish!

The other side.

The Old Riley looked annoyed. It seemed the Lawson family didn't appreciate his kindness. He decided to take some action.

"Drake, Sophia Lawson made trouble at my birthday banquet. If she doesn't apologize to our Riley family in public and to the reporters, she can't blame us for being rude."

"I'm talking to you, Drake. Heard me?" the Old Riley raised his voice and shouted, noticing Drake was absentminded.

Drake returned to his sense. "Yes, Grandpa."

The following day.

The Riley family posted a video clip to social media platforms. On the screen, Emilia explained like a victim, "Sophia Lawson is always jealous of me. At college, she pursued Drake and became his girlfriend for a short while. Later, we learned she had done it for Drake's money."

"In the three years at college, Sophia Lawson relied on Drake's money for her tuition fees and living expenses. We thought they were truly in love and would get married after graduating, so we didn't object to them."

"However, in the fourth year, Sophia Lawson dated another man who seemed wealthier than Drake. Drake hadn't taken over the Riley family's company at that time. When Drake suffered disappointment in love, I accompanied him all the time. Although he didn't love me, I was willing to help him recover."

"Then he gradually let go of her, and we started dating. After three years, Sophia Lawson appeared again. Evidently, she must have known Drake had become rich and wanted to reconcile with him. That was why she deliberately slandered me. No matter what you want to do, Sophia Lawson, I don't care. I've never done those things, so I won't be afraid of being slandered. Drake and I love each other deeply, and you won't break us up. We'll get married and have children. We'll be happy."

"Please let go of me and also yourself. OK?"
