Hearing Ian's words, Lottie calmed down instead.
It also asked the question she most wanted to know.
"I'm actually curious."
"What kind of person, exactly, do you think would be worthy of Ralph?"
Ian: "There's no one."
In his heart, all those women are greedy for his brother's money and status, none of them are sincere at all, and they are even less worthy of his brother.
Sure enough.
Lottie got this answer, instead of feeling sad, she wanted to laugh a little.
She wanted to laugh, and she did.
Ian's sharp gaze shot to Lottie.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at your self-righteousness."
Lottie adjusted her expression and looked at Ian with compassion in her eyes.
"Laugh at you for making a fool of yourself, for being sick and not knowing it, instead of claiming to be an elder and being here to pick on your brother's mate."
Ian's expression changed, and the fist hanging at his side couldn't help but clench.
"What kind of partner are you? It's just a fake daughter of the Green family who was pushed out of existence to cover the pot."
Apparently, Ian has investigated Lottie's past to the letter, including the real reason why Lottie and Ralph got married in the first place.
"The Green family has raised you for so many years, fed you well and raised you well, but in the end, you broke the family because of you, don't you have any guilt in your heart?"
"And you, pregnant out of wedlock and cheating on your marriage in lieu of marriage, what kind of a good thing are you? If it wasn't for Elijah and the others, what would you have used to get to the top? With your face or your family history? Do you think Ralph looks like someone who cares about that?"
Perhaps Lottie has hit the nail on the head, Ian's retort is one sentence after another, and every word goes to Lottie's heart, mean and sarcastic.
Lottie blushed slightly, but she smiled when she heard it.
"So what if I'm useless? As long as Ralph likes it, no one can drive me away from him."
"As for Elijah and the others ...... are even more sorry, the three of them were born to me in my womb, cut from my flesh, and no one can sever the blood ties between us."
"Even if you are resentful and uneven, it doesn't change the fact that I am the mother of Ralph's wife, Elijah, Fabian, and Stella."
Lottie looked up at Ian, who could no longer maintain his composure, and laughed more and more.
"My husband loves me, my children love me, and my family is happy together, is that in your way? Just because you were unlucky yourself, you want to make your brother as unlucky as you are, Ian, you are really stupid and bad!"
"Shut the hell up!" Ian burst into a rage and glared viciously at Lottie.
Lottie doesn't want him to.
"Did you tell me to shut up because you've hit the nail on the head? What do you pretend to be good for Ralph, playing the name of a good brother, but wanting to satisfy your selfish desires!"
"Ralph he's better than you, more capable than you, and more valued by Dad, so you're jealous of him! But you're too embarrassed to say so, so you can only secretly try to pull him into the abyss, but he's so perfect that you can't catch him in a loophole, so you want to use me to hit him."
"Ian, you're really something!"
Lottie's words really speak to Ian's most secret thoughts.
He thought he was hiding it well, but he didn't expect that even Lottie would be able to see his selfishness.
Indeed, he was grateful for Ralph's closeness to him on one hand, and jealous of Ralph's excellence on the other.
Without Ralph, he would have been the only successor to the Bartons Family.
He didn't have to be sent to his adoptive parents, he didn't have to be given the cold shoulder, and he didn't have to be compared to his brother by his own father!
"Ian, if you want to push the only loved ones you have further and further away, keep doing that."
"That's all I have to say, so take care of yourself."
After saying that, and regardless of Ian's expression, he turned around and left.
Ian watched her departing back in silence, half-heartedly unresponsive.
Deep around the corner, Ralph collected the smile on his face and turned his head to look at Edward, who was indignant at the side.
"My brother is counting on you to help with counseling, it shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"
Edward was still angry about Lottie's "no cost" remark, when he heard it, his breath hitched.
"No way, brother, you really think Ian is sick, huh?"
Ralph gave Edward a cold look.
Edward hastily covered his mouth and glanced at the place where Ian was standing just now, and there was no one there.
That's a relief.
Ralph, however, had already lifted his feet and walked towards the set.
The horse had an accident and almost hurt his wife, such a serious matter, Mr. Heron in the first time to inform Ralph.
Ralph arrives with Edward in a hurry, but he doesn't want to overhear Lottie and Ian's conversation.
Ralph didn't even think that his wife was fighting so well.
The company is not only not led into the ditch by Ian's words, but also criticized Ian in turn.
Hopefully those words will bring Ian to his senses once and for all, otherwise ......
Ralph's eyes were cold, he didn't mind giving his opponent a taste of regret.
