Chapter 322 Scheming
Chapter 322 Scheming
Lydia suddenly put down her chopsticks heavily when Elena uttered Maisy’s true identity and said
indifferently, “I’m full.”
Then she just went upstairs without saying a word.
Emilia was frightened by Lydia’s fierceness, but she was still worried about Lydia, so she turned to Leo
and asked in confusion, “Daddy, what happened to mommy?”
Looking at Lydia’s back, Leo sighed lightly and smiled, “Let’s leave mommy alone and give her some
time.”
“Okay.”
Though Emilia didn’t understand Leo, she didn’t go to disturb Lydia.
Marie glanced upstairs and was kind of sorry in her eyes.
Then they just finished the dinner quickly.
After watching cartoons with Emilia for a while, Leo found that Elena was standing in the yard and
waving at him.
Leo hesitated for a while and asked Marie to take care of Emilia and went outside.
Elena lighted up a women’s cigarette and then turned to Leo, “You were just faking with Karl before,
weren’t you? You are actually embittered towards each other, right?”
Leo was silent for a while and then nodded honestly, “Yes.”
“I knew that Karl wouldn’t accept you with his temper.”
Elena smiled and said, “You are both smart and don’t want to be hostile in front of your family
members, so that you have come to a tacit understanding, right?”
Elena then took Leo’s silence as an affirmative answer.
“What are you going to do then?”
Elena stretched herself and asked Leo.
Leo was adamant, “I would never leave Lydia no matter what.”
Elena knew that Leo would say this and giggled, “Well, Karl shouldn’t be the one that you should be
worried about, but that Maisy...”
Leo got serious and asked, “She is just a normal woman from the south of China and swooped in while
uncle Karl and my mother-in-law were getting estranged, right? Why should I be worried about her?”
“Are you seriously calling my sister mother-in-law? You haven’t even met her.”
Elena laughed at Leo and answered, “Do you really think that Maisy is just a normal woman?”
She paused a bit and continued, “Even if my sister is infertile, she is still the most beautiful woman, but
that Maisy really got the upper hand!”
Leo froze and got serious.
“It’s true that she is from Emerdale, but this is actually her the scariest part.”
Elena got fierce and added, “There were only eight royal families in Valenham, but after that woman
married Karl, it became nine. Do you know why?”
“Why?” Leo sensed that there was something wrong.
Elena sneered, “Karl actually decided that he would just leave this family without anything when he first
divorced my sister, but then that woman made her to change his mind and get half of my family’s asset.
He then used that money as his initial capital and founded the .”
“Well, she isn’t exactly competent herself. She is just exceedingly manipulative.”
Leo thought about what Elena said and reasoned that this Maisy must be pretty scheming.
“So she is actually the one who hates Lydia the most and is eager to throw her out!”
Elena continued coldly, “Because Lydia’s is my sister’s daughter and she is afraid that my sister might
come back one day!”
Hearing Elena’s words, Leo was shocked.
He knew what Elena was referring to.
To Lydia, Maisy was her step-mother.
He wasn’t saying that all the step-mothers were vicious, but there was no way that Maisy would treat
her like her biological daughter.
At the same time, Lydia didn’t like Maisy who was also afraid of her mother, so Lydia just became a
collateral damage.
“Overall, she isn’t a good person. Lydia was actually endangered many times during these five years
that you weren’t with her and most of the accidents were probably spearheaded by Maisy.”
Elena then gazed at Leo and went inside the house.
Leo froze and was pondering inside.
He had underestimated the royal families in Valenham. The most dangerous ones weren’t the branches
of the Henderson Family but the people in this family!
Leo couldn’t fall asleep that night, neither could Lydia. But they didn’t say anything and just hugged and
warmed each other with their body heat.
At the same time, Terry and Paul who mapped out Lydia’s kidnapping were sitting in the lobby of their
mansion.
They were gazing at a black-dressed man who looked handsome but also ghastly pale.
It was obvious that he was confined at home all year round and didn’t get any sun exposure.
But the most shocking of all was that one of his legs was limp like someone broke it.
It was Angus Newman who was arranged to marry Lydia. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
He sipped the tea and said calmly, “So you mean that Lydia wouldn’t remarry me, right?”
Terry was a bit worried, but Paul was edgy, because they both saw the fierceness in Angus’ deep eyes.
It was obvious that he didn’t like this outcome.
“Mr. Newman, it’s not that we don’t want her to marry you, but her husband is really powerful. What’s
more, that bitch threatened to commit suicide!” Paul hurriedly explained.
“That is enough!”
Angus waved his hand and said annoyingly, “You lost. Just admit it. Since Lydia wouldn’t marry me, our
cooperation is terminated and just fight for the master of the Henderson Family yourself.”
Paul was spooked and Terry’s face just darkened.
He was the only outstanding man in the third generation of the Henderson Family, but Karl just didn’t
like him and only had his two daughters in his eyes.
Marie was still young and wasn’t capable of doing something great, so Lydia was his only fear.
Therefore, he thought of forcing Lydia to remarry.
But now, without the Newman Family’s support, he wouldn’t be able to affect Lydia’s position in the
Henderson Family in a million years.
“Angus, I know that we weren’t exactly on good terms before, but now, in order to become the master
of the Henderson Family, I really need your help!”
Terry said seriously and added, “As an exchange, I would also help you when you fight for the master
in your family!”
“How hilarious! Do you really think that I’m in line to become the master?”
Angus touched his broken leg and smiled self-deprecatingly, “Well, I could help you, but I only want
Lydia and nothing else!”
Terry agreed without hesitation, “I would definitely help you if you know how!”
Angus giggled, “Well, I got a lot of ways to do that. We just have to make Leo disappear from this
world. Leave it to me!”
After sending Terry and Paul away, Angus caressed his broken leg and was complex in his eyes.
“Time flies. It has been five years...”
At the very next second, his face distorted and said, “Leo, you are finally in Valenham now! I would
definitely take my revenge!”
“Robbing your wife is just my first step!”
