The person who opened the door was Hana. However, Hana appeared to be drastically different from the day before. She had light makeup on. Although her clothes were not from any luxury brands, they were decent and very professional. Also, the forty-year-old Hana had a nice figure. Her hair was very combed neatly. The way she looked gave Zayn a very intellectual and professional kind of feeling. She did not appear to be pitiful at all. She was drastically different from the homeless woman that Zayn saw a few days ago, who had been squatting in a corner of the wall at the Ford Group. Zayn was completely stunned by what he saw. For a moment, he even thought that just by looking at his young mother-in-law alone, he truly did not deserve to be with Tessa. He was too old. Tessa and her mother, on the other hand, were too young.
Perhaps she had noticed that Zayn was stunned, Hana immediately said, "They had repeatedly come over to look for my aunt countless times. Today, I have to let them see that my aunt also has someone backing her u p!"
Zayn laughed. "That’s right!”
He opened the door a little wider, and together with Hana, they helped Cecilia get into the car. Cecilia also dressed up quite well that day. She had a head full of gray hair, but her back was not hunched, so she did not appear to be too old. If she had not married that
old man with Dixon as his last name back then, she would not have worked so hard for so many years, so she may even appear even younger.
Zayn had his navigation system turned on and was driving in the direction given by the old lady. After more than an hour, they arrived at that accommodation for faculty members that the old lady had once stayed in. That was a town in the suburban area in South City. The accommodation appeared to b e quite quaint. There were even people exercising in the yard. Life just seemed very harmonious there. Everyone there appeared to be civilized and polite at a glance. After that, there was the accommodation for faculty members and their families.
Once Zayn got down the car after he parking it, he attracted quite a few sidelong glances from the people in there. After all, he was a mature man who was more than one hundred and eighty meters tall. He had a gentle appearance and expression and was driving a Land Rover. Anybody would not be able to help themselves but to take another look at him.
There was a commotion among the crowd when those people saw the old lady, who had always been submissive, being escorted out of the car by a mature lady in her forties. Many people were whispering to one another. Although their voice was not loud, a little bit of what they said could more or less still be heard.
"I told you! That old man, Neo, had gone overboard in bullying others. He has been bullying Cecilia as if she had no family to back her up!”
"That’s right! I could never get used to seeing the way h e behaved. He appeared to be a civilized and intellectual man at a glance, but in actuality, he is a bully! He was the one who got a partner to keep him accompanied in bed. Never mind that she had stayed with him for ten years, but she was even treated as a free nanny! That was not enough for him. He even bullied her!”
"I was extremely upset when I saw Cecilia being submissive back then. Now, seeing her being accompanied by two people, I just feel great!"
"I had secretly persuaded Cecilia many times in the past! I told her that Neo did not treat her as a human and treated her as a worker who worked for free. He himself, on the other hand, was living quite a good life, so what was she expecting out of it? She would say every time that they were already married for so many years, so she could not bear to leave him to be alone. I n fact, that man, Neo, truly was mean."
"He behaved all high and mighty! He also took advantage of his power to bully others! He felt that she did not have a strong family to back her up, so he took advantage of her while telling others that she was relying on him!"
"D*mned! He is not worthy of being a teacher!"
"No wonder Neo is now in a wheelchair and is bone-thin! Served him right!" "Come on, let’s go. Let’s go have a look. Let's watch
how Cecilia's family fights back against Neo!”
Actually, a vast majority of the people there felt unjust for the old lady. They felt that the old man truly had been too much. Since he was already married to her, h e should still have some basic respect for her, right? Neo, on the other hand, had been shouting at her every day. He had never given a single penny for the old lady to spend. He even told anyone that passed him by that the old lady did not have any income, so she had been eating his food, drinking his water, and even living in his house. Such a person truly was a bully!
Then, several people followed Zayn, Cecilia, and Hana quietly.
