Chapter 961 Take the Baby Away
“Hello, Lydia. I’m here to help you.” Vivian always had a smile on her face, to make her seem approachable.
As Lydia made no reply, Vivian walked right in. She held Lydia’s hand kindly, saying, “As long as you make everything clear for
Brandon at the press conference, I can triple your compensation.”
Lydia felt sick for no reason. Maybe Vivian’s pungent perfhad caught in her throat.
She covered her nose and asked, “Are you from the Larson Group?”
But since Jhad only just been there, Lydia had a hunch this woman wasn’t from the Larson Group.
“Not really. I’m a philanthropist, I try to reach out and help the people in our society who are most in need of it. As for why I want
this clarified for the Larson Group, it was them who established the charity I work for.” Vivian thought she was making a
reasonable explanation. She carried on laying out the offer, “If you don’t like it here, I can arrange for you and your baby to live
abroad, far away from any harassment, where your baby can grow up carefree.”
Lydia refused mercilessly. “I don’t speak any foreign languages, and I don’t want to live abroad at all. Besides, I’m more than
capable of working to support myself and my daughter. There’s no need to worry about me.”
“Lydia, I don’t think I’m wrong in saying you were a housewife when you were with Jethro, right? You don’t know how to do
anything else apart from house chores. How can you support yourself and a baby?” Vivian s*tripped away Lydia’s lie.
She was nothing like Lydia. She could not understand Lydia’s pain at all.
Lydia trembled with anger. This woman hadn’t cto help her after all.
She looked so arrogant with her delicate makeup, stinking of perfume. Had she chere deliberately to make fun of her?
Lydia looked away and saw herself in the mirror. She looked withered and fat. Her heart ached at the sight of herself.
Lydia held back her tears. She had only just realized how kind Jwas to her.
When Jvisited, she almost didn’t wear any makeup, and she was really nice. She considered every word she said to Lydia,
making sure she didn’t offend her at all in any way.
Could Brandon really be such a bad guy if he had a wife like this?
Lydia hesitated. Maybe Jhad spoken the truth. Maybe Brandon had nothing to do with Jethro’s death. “Leave now. I need to
rest. I don’t want to talk about it,” Lydia said, enunciating every word clearly. Then she lay down with the baby in her arms and
closed her eyes.
“If it’s about the money, I can pay more. Everything is negotiable. Nyour price.” Vivian didn’t have tto deal with Lydia.
Before she chere, she had been told that the only reason Lydia didn’t agree with the Larson Group was that they hadn’t
“Why do you keep talking about money?! I told you to go. Didn’t you hear me?” Lydia was so angry she picked the cup up from
the table and threw it at Vivian.
As soon as the cup landed on the ground and shattered, it scared the baby, who began to wail.
“Hey! No need to be so ungrateful. I chere to help you out of kindness!” Vivian dodged quickly and the cup missed her.
She got angry and said, with disdain, “Don’t you know about the terrible things your husband did? He blackmailed others and
almost killed someone. Death’s too good for him! Not only do I not blyou for his actions, but I also want to give you enough
money to start a new life. Even if you don’t appreciate my generous offer, how could you just shout atlike crazy?” “F*ck off!”
Lydia was even more furious. She grabbed the bedside lamp, hurling it at Vivian.
Vivian screamed and made for the door.
With a face like thunder, she looked at the guards, who had been waiting patiently outside the door and, in a quiet voice, said,
“Go in and take that woman’s baby.” 5 With that Vivian left. As she walked down the corridor, she heard a scream from the ward
behind her, and smiled from her head to her feet with her success.
******
Right outside the hospital, Jdidn’t go right back to work. She couldn’t just keep ignoring Brandon’s calls. That was no
solution. He would still question her when she got hthat night.
She decided to call Brandon back, to figure out if he was mad at her.
“Hey, honey, what’s up?” Jasked cautiously.
Brandon was tired. He hadn’t slept since the night before, but he immediately sensed something was wrong with Jwhen he
heard her voice. “Nothing serious. But what about you, why do you sound unhappy?”
