Coralie didn't pay any attention to her, but try to keep helping Hera up, she just wanted to get out of here quickly before Skylar's arrival so this farce wouldn't become more complicated.
"I recognize you!" Lillian Ford looked at her again and finally confirmed this. "You were the girl who took advantage of my son's ignorance and tried to trick him into marrying you when he was in college!"
"Auntie, I didn't trick your son into marrying me."
Coralie defended herself. She didn't want Hera to be worried for her after hearing Lillian's words.
"You didn't? If I hadn't stopped him, my son would have been obsessed with marrying you!"
Lillian struggled to stand up and she squinted at her.
"My daughter will never do that kind of thing,"
Hera spoke on Coralie's behalf. In her eyes, Coralie had always been a good daughter.
"Won't she? Your daughter tried so hard to seduce my son when they were in college. Don't think that I didn't know. My son was obsessed with you at that time. He came home one day and told me that he wanted to marry you once he graduated!"
Due to Coralie, Lillian became wary of the women beside Skylar.
In her eyes, Skylar was perfect. She was proud of him. Any common girl will not be a match for him.
However, she had a suitable candidate on her mind: Skylar's childhood sweetheart, Valerie Rae, who's currently studying abroad.
"The two of them were in love with each other."
Hera was very open-minded in this respect. So long as the other person was nice and kind, and they liked each other, then they were suitable for each other.
"Mom, let's go."
Coralie was really worried that Skylar would arrive soon. At that time, it would be even more difficult to explain.
"They were in love with each other? How could my son be compared to your daughter, who was plotting to marry into a rich family?"
As Lillian shouted at them, Skylar's car had already stopped behind her car.
When he walked through the crowd and saw Coralie holding Hera, both standing in front of Lillian's car, he was stunned.
"Son! You're finally here. Look, this is the woman you wanted to marry in the past. Now, she colluded with her mother to blackmail me!"
Seeing that Skylar had arrived, Lillian immediately became even more arrogant. She pointed at Coralie and said this.
Skylar looked at them and said, "I'm afraid there must be some misunderstanding."
He knew that Coralie had just gotten out of detention. It was unlikely for her to have colluded with her mother to blackmail Lillian.
"Misunderstanding? Son, are you still thinking about this woman?" When Lillian noticed Skylar's attitude, she immediately began to cry. "Son, I raised you since young. It doesn't matter what kind of woman you like, but do you want to marry someone who tries to use you just to marry into a rich family? Also, she is now trying to blackmail me using her mother. You must not marry such a woman."
She spoke in such a way as to look like she was putting Skylar's well-being first.
Skylar looked at Hera and noticed that she was pale. She looked like someone who had hypoglycemia, and it was unlikely that she was trying to blackmail someone. Just when he was thinking of what to say...
"Have you said enough? Is this the upbringing of a family like yours? From the beginning, my mother did not blackmail you. She fainted and happened to be in front of your car. Did we ask you for money? No! You were imagining things from the start! Stop spouting nonsense. Not everyone wants to have something to do with you!"
Coralie was tired of the insults directed toward her mom and herself.
She really couldn't bear it anymore.
If she wasn't Skylar's mother, she might have beaten her up.
"Look, son, how could she talk to me like this? How ill-bred and rude! I told you long time ago that girls like her are only eyeing our wealth. None of them are good people."
Seeing Coralie's counter-attack, Lillian used this to prove how bad of a person Coralie was.
