Zena coughed lightly and then said, "She was too careless. How could she be photographed... Jimmy must be angry."
Hearing this, Lydia turned around to look at Zena and asked unpleasantly, "Zena, what do you mean... by saying this?"
Zena smiled drily, "Elizabeth looks very nice on the surface in normal times, and Jimmy cares about her very much, but what she has done really hurt Jimmy's heart, hasn't it? I am also a woman and I should support Elizabeth now, but I grew up with Jimmy, so I feel distressed for him. Elizabeth... has hurt Jimmy's heart severely."
"No." Lydia was so angry, but she smiled and broke away from Zena's hand. She took a step aside, "Zena, it seems that you've also misunderstood Elizabeth."
"Auntie, I want to believe in Elizabeth. After all, my impression of her is favorable. However, those photos and videos are real, so I... Jimmy treats her so well. I'm just so shocked."
Lydia pursed her lips and frowned hard, "Zena, you have your own thoughts, and it's none of my business. But I really don't like to hear you speak ill of Elizabeth. Do you understand?"
"Auntie?" Zena opened her eyes wide could not believe what she had just heard.
The reason why she came here was to know what kind of attitudes Lydia and John had toward Elizabeth more accurately. No, she wanted to make sure whether Lydia and John had made up their mind to let Jimmy divorce Elizabeth. After all, Elizabeth had done a shameless thing, and the Lu Mansion was respectable and noble. How could they tolerate Elizabeth who was indiscreet about her private life?
Only when Jimmy divorced Elizabeth could she become James's wife quickly.
But... what had she heard?
However, Lydia said madly, "Zena, what I'm going to say may be unpleasant to hear. After all, I'm not in a good mood now. However, Elizabeth is my daughter- in- law. Although you're going to marry Xavier and become my daughter-in-law, too, you haven't married him yet, have you? When you and Xavier get married in a few days, we'll be really family, and Elizabeth and you will be sisters-in-law."
"You haven't figured out the truth of this matter yet, so how can you misunderstand Elizabeth? Even if we become real families, shouldn't we love and trust each other wholeheartedly? How can you suspect Elizabeth and speak ill of her? When your family member is in trouble and struggling in despair, you not only don't want to help her but also speak ill of her mockingly. Do you think it's right to do this? How sad will your family member be when she knows your thoughts?"
Looking at Lydia who was angry and dissatisfied, Zena was shocked. She didn't expect that Lydia would still speak for Elizabeth at this time! Was Lydia... really kind or just stupid?
"Auntie, calm down." Zena suppressed the shock and panic in her heart, and said with a forced smile, "I was just too surprised when I saw those photos and videos. I said that Elizabeth looks very gentle and quiet in ordinary times, and I was really..."
Before she finished her words, Lydia said, "But you also said that Elizabeth had done those things and you said that she hurt Jimmy's heart! Zena, you're not a child who grew up in a normal family, and you have experienced lots of things in this society these years. How can you judge a person based on some photos and videos casually? Moreover, that person is my daughter-in-law! Zena, I think I have to tell you something. You haven't married into my family yet, so you may not know my character very well."
Zena pursed her lips and suddenly felt that she had made a mistake. She felt more and more annoyed and regretful. Why did Lydia still believe Elizabeth at this time? If she hadn't left Jimmy at that time...
"I look kind in ordinary time, and I like to tell jokes, but I like to shield my family. Your uncle is the same as me. Jimmy is our son, so he is like us. Thank you for your kindness and care, but... I may not need it very much, and Elizabeth doesn't need your care, either."
