In the living room, Lionel and the others were talking t o Godfrey about the event on the 15th. They did not want to miss the fun. If the new house turned out pretty, they had another excuse to badmouth them to Grandmother Sue; if the house turned out ugly, they could also take this opportunity to laugh at it.
Lydia was most worried about this matter being made known to the Sue family, her plan was to rent a room t o deal with Fred. If she got away with it and made less contact with Fred, she would not be unmasked.
However, it would be troublesome and more difficult t o muddle through if the Sue family knew about it. By then, it would only a matter of time before she was unmasked. When the Sue family found out that she lied about her wealth, she would be teased to death.
The news had not leaked out in the Sue family, but the whole commotion had started because of Samuel, and Lydia simply wanted to kick Samuel out of the house.
"Godfrey, are you really not going to invite us?" Lionel asked with a look of discontent.
"This is a joyous event, we're siblings, we have to go and celebrate with you."
"Yes, it’s hard to move out of that shabby house, we have to go see it."
Just then at the dinner table, this group of people was
enraged and mad. This time round, they put on a mask pretending to have good intentions. However, Gorfrey knew very well what was in their mind.
The house had been exposed, if he did not invite them, he would be even more ostracized in the Sue family and fall into disrepute.
"Okay, I'll inform you of the place by then," Godfrey announced.
"What so secretive about it? It's not like you're embarrassed to share, right?" Lionel sneered. The house was already paid for. It was a matter of time before he had to reveal the true location of the house and it would not change even if Godfrey refused to share it. Godfrey must have felt that the property was not good and felt shameful to reveal.
"What’s there to be ashamed of? As long as the house can accommodate you, it’ll be a good house, just say it."
"That's right, we'll arrive on time."
Godfrey fidgeted and could not say anything. Lydia wanted to stand as the decisive one and put an end to this matter, but it was easier said than done. So she really did not know what to say.
