The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 161

Claudine Tucker raised her eyebrows and told the two strong men, "Search for it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two strong men took Lily's mobile phone from her pocket.

Lily Adams ran into the bathroom, locked the door, and took a small mobile phone from the box filled with napkins. She smiled smugly. Fortunately, she had planned this. She knew that Claudine would take advantage of Scott's absence to deal with her sooner or later, so she had made the necessary preparations prior. Lily put a spare cell phone in her bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and study room.

She felt distressed over the money she had spent when she bought them, but now they were handy. She thought the money was well spent.

She quickly pressed the first speed dial. She had only 2 phone numbers saved in each of the cell phones. One was Scott's number, and the other was an emergency number. Although she had only seen her father-in-law once on her wedding day, he was a police chief. Even if he didn't like her, he would have to save her in the name of public justice.

"Hello?"

As soon as she heard Scott's voice, Lily lowered her own voice and said in a hurry, "Where are you? Come back quickly. Your mother is here."

Scott was stunned. "What is she doing there?" "Did you have to ask? She obviously came to torture

me.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

The bathroom door was slapped so hard that it sounded like it was thumping. Soon, there was a shout, "Are you done? You're slower than a woman in labour."

She answered with a trembling voice, "I'll be done soon. I have diarrhoea."

She put the phone back to her ear, but the other end had already hung up. Her heart tightened. What did Scott mean? Was he rushing back because he heard that she was in danger, or did he have a lot of faith in her ability to survive, and therefore did not care about her at all?

Bang, bang, bang. The knocking on the door became louder and louder. At this time, there was a man's voice. "If you don't come out, we will break in."

Seeing that she couldn't escape anymore, Lily had no choice but to open the door. As soon as she walked out of the bathroom, two men grabbed her arms rudely.

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

She struggled with all her might. Claudine glared at her coldly. "Just shut up if you don't want to die miserably."

"Madam, what are you doing? I am your daughter-in-law!"

Claudine smiled sarcastically. "Daughter-in-law? I've never admitted to having a daughter- in- law like you!"

"Take her away!"

As soon as she gave the order, the two strong men dragged her away like they were catching a little chick. Lily shouted as loudly as she could, "Help, help!"

She almost tore her throat from all the yelling, but no hero jumped out to save the damsel in distress. When she was about to get stuffed into a car, suddenly, a silvery- white car stopped in front of Claudine.

Then, Scott got out of the car.

He asked his mother with a gloomy face, "What are you doing?"

Claudine didn't expect him to be back so soon. She answered with twinkling eyes, "Nothing. Just inviting her to my home."

Scott glanced at Lily and asked sarcastically, "Is this how you forward invitations?"

The strong men let go of Lily's arms. Lily rushed to hide behind Scott and said with fear, "You would probably only get to see my dead body if you came any later!"

Claudine raised her chin and said, "She was so wary of me that I had to force her the hard way."

Lily snorted and sneered. She had never been treated the soft way to begin with.

"No matter what your purpose of coming here today is, I have to warn you not to touch my woman, otherwise, don't blame me for not respecting you as my mother anymore." Claudine's eyes widened in shock and she asked incredulously, "Scott, what are you talking about? Are you going to cut off ties with your mother over this woman?"

"I will do it if it's necessary."

With a snap, Claudine slapped her son hard across his face. "B*stard, have you forgotten your mother after marrying this woman? You can't do this to me!"

"I'll treat you the way you treat me. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me whether I have a mother or not. I've been living with my father for so many years and I've gotten used to it."

After saying that, Scott grabbed Lily's hand and turned away angrily.

Entering the door of the apartment, Lily sat on the sofa angrily and rubbed her red and painful wrists where the strong men had pinched her.

Scott sat opposite her, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm sorry."

Lily knew that the apology was made on behalf of his mother. If he was apologizing for himself, she would have forgiven him. However since it was for his mother, she refused to forgive her.

After a while, Scott looked up at her and saw that she was still angry. He asked grumpily, "Are you still angry?"

"Shouldn't I be angry?"

She was clearly annoyed.

"Yes, but I've already apologized." "Your apology is useless. The person who should say sorry to me is your mother."

"Do you want my mother to apologize to you?"

Lily glanced at him and said, "I wouldn't dare to."

"Well, don't be angry. They did not harm you. You don't have to be angry."
