Lydia suddenly put down her chopsticks heavily when Elena uttered Maisy’s true identity and said indifferently, “I’m full.”
Then she just went upstairs without saying a word.
Emilia was frightened by Lydia’s fierceness, but she was still worried about Lydia, so she turned to Leo and asked in confusion, “Daddy, what happened to mommy?”
Looking at Lydia’s back, Leo sighed lightly and smiled, “Let’s leave mommy alone and give her some time.”
“Okay.”
Though Emilia didn’t understand Leo, she didn’t go to disturb Lydia.
Marie glanced upstairs and was kind of sorry in her eyes.
Then they just finished the dinner quickly.
After watching cartoons with Emilia for a while, Leo found that Elena was standing in the yard and waving at him.
Leo hesitated for a while and asked Marie to take care of Emilia and went outside.
Elena lighted up a women’s cigarette and then turned to Leo, “You were just faking with Karl before, weren’t you? You are actually embittered towards each other, right?”
Leo was silent for a while and then nodded honestly, “Yes.”
“I knew that Karl wouldn’t accept you with his temper.”
Elena smiled and said, “You are both smart and don’t want to be hostile in front of your family members, so that you have come to a tacit understanding, right?”
Elena then took Leo’s silence as an affirmative answer.
“What are you going to do then?”
Elena stretched herself and asked Leo.
Leo was adamant, “I would never leave Lydia no matter what.”
Elena knew that Leo would say this and giggled, “Well, Karl shouldn’t be the one that you should be worried about, but that Maisy...”
Leo got serious and asked, “She is just a normal woman from the south of China and swooped in while uncle Karl and my mother-in-law were getting estranged, right? Why should I be worried about her?”
“Are you seriously calling my sister mother-in-law? You haven’t even met her.”
Elena laughed at Leo and answered, “Do you really think that Maisy is just a normal woman?”
She paused a bit and continued, “Even if my sister is infertile, she is still the most beautiful woman, but that Maisy really got the upper hand!”
Leo froze and got serious.
“It’s true that she is from Emerdale, but this is actually her the scariest part.”
Elena got fierce and added, “There were only eight royal families in Valenham, but after that woman married Karl, it became nine. Do you know why?”
“Why?” Leo sensed that there was something wrong.
Elena sneered, “Karl actually decided that he would just leave this family without anything when he first divorced my sister, but then that woman made her to change his mind and get half of my family’s asset. He then used that money as his initial capital and founded the 王朝集团.”
“Well, she isn’t exactly competent herself. She is just exceedingly manipulative.”
Leo thought about what Elena said and reasoned that this Maisy must be pretty scheming.
“So she is actually the one who hates Lydia the most and is eager to throw her out!”
Elena continued coldly, “Because Lydia’s is my sister’s daughter and she is afraid that my sister might come back one day!”
Hearing Elena’s words, Leo was shocked.
