At Lionel's house.
The mother and son were silent, which made the atmosphere at home particularly solemn.
The Old Madam had never expected that she would end up like this just because she said a few words for Lionel. At her current age, if she was driven out of Sue family, it would be a problem for her to live in the future.
Although she was more interested in Lionel among the people in Sue family, she also knew that once Lionel left Sue family, it would be nothing. It was even more impossible for her to put her hope of retirement on Lionel.
Unfortunately, it was too late to regret at this time. The Old Master made such a decision to protect the future of Sue family. No one could change his mind.
Unless... unless Yvonne showed up on this matter, there might be a glimmer of hope.
However, the Old Madam knew very well how she had treated Yvonne. How could she have the face to ask Yvonne to put in a good word for her at this time?
After a long silence, Lionel asked the Old Madam unwillingly, "Mom, are we going to be like this?"
The Old Madam was very clear about the Old Master’s
character. It was almost impossible to make him change his mind.
"What else do you want?" asked the Old Madam.
Lionel gritted his teeth and said, "What else do I want? This is obviously a trap. Can't Dad see that? Why did he help outsiders deal with me?"
The Old Madam smiled faintly. Lionel still didn't understand what's going on?
Even if everyone at the birthday party knew that he was framed, so what? Who would dare to help him fight for justice?
In front of the future of Sue family, Lionel was nothing.
"So what if your father knows? It's all your fault for being careless," the Old Madam said.
Her words made Lionel even angrier. What did she mean by saying that he was careless? Not only did she not blame Samuel, but she also blamed him?
"Mom, even you have to speak up for outsiders?" Lionel said with a gloomy face.
"This isn’t a matter of helping someone. Haven't you seen through the current situation yet. Your father drove us away for the sake of Sue family. In the interests of Sue family, we are just cannon fodder.
Does this have anything to do with being framed?" The Old Madam said.
"Why does it have nothing to do with it?" Lionel naturally could not accept this reality, so he still felt how innocent he was being wronged.
"If it weren't for this matter, you wouldn't have been driven out of Sue family. Is there any hatred between you and Samuel?" Lionel said.
The Old Madam also felt a little strange about this matter. If it were not for what Samuel had said, she would not have ended up like this. However, the Old Madam really could not understand why Samuel had targeted her. She and Samuel could only be considered strangers. How could something like this happen?
At this time, the door was suddenly opened and Harvey hurried back home.
He was so drunk that he drank a lot last night.
The panicked Harvey's face turned even paler when he saw the Old Madam.
"You bastard, where did you go? Don't you know what day today is?" Lionel shouted.
Harvey lowered his head and did not dare to argue. Of course, he knew what day today was, so he looked scared when he returned home.
"Dad, I accidentally drank too much last night," Harvey said. It was a gathering of friends, and the wine and women were charming. Harvey drank too much, so he slept for a whole day. It was not until he woke up that he realized that things were not good, but it was too late.
