Chapter 154 The Montelongo Residence
For a moment, Zeke was taken aback. He retorted, “Stop spouting nonsense! Don’t think I’m ignorant.
Richard only has one son who is in university. If you’re trying to play the hero, at least pick the right
person. Do you think I am so easily fooled?”
Zeke didn’t take Myles‘ words seriously at all. He gave him a cold glance, then turned around and
strode away.
After leaving the restaurant, Richard and Lydia did not follow the group to Tulip Valley, so as not to put
too much pressure on Cordelia.
When it came to love, their role as parents was merely to create opportunities. The rest was left to the
younger ones to figure out on their own.
“Honey, do you think this match will be successful? Somehow, it seems uncertain to me.”
During their meal together today, Lydia increasingly felt that she had underestimated her daughter’s
feelings for Emrys. Surprisingly, her daughter was indifferent to a man as outstanding as Myles. Both of
these were what she never expected.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRichard gave a wry smile, feeling equally pessimistic in his heart. After a moment of silence, he
suddenly asked, “If Cordelia only has feelings for Lund, what will you do?”
“I absolutely won’t agree to it!” Lydia blurted out.
Her impression of Emrys was extremely unfavorable, especially after what had happened at Verdant
Estate. Emrys‘ arrogant and ignorant demeanor had left a sour taste in Lydia’s mouth. Every time she
thought about it, she felt a surge of resentment.
What right does a child who grew up in an orphanage have to be so arrogant? He even claimed that he
could provide the best life for Cordelia, which is simply a pipe dream!
Richard hesitated for a moment before saying, “Actually, you should have known by now what kind of
personality Cordelia has. We have failed her for twenty–five years. If, I mean if, she breaks ties with our
family for the sake of that Lund boy…”
“That’s absolutely impossible! The path we choose for her is indeed the best one!”
“However, Cordelia doesn’t see it that way.”
Richard glanced at Lydia, aware of his wife’s somewhat obstinate nature, yet he couldn’t help but say,
“She already has her own social circle and is quite content with her current life. What we perceive as
good for her might actually be a burden in her eyes.”
“Honey, what happened to you today…”
Lydia looked at Richard in disbelief, unable to comprehend how he could utter such words. In the past,
Richard had always gone along with her wishes. But today, astonishingly, they had a disagreement.
Lydia wanted to say something, but upon seeing the resolute look in her husband’s eyes, she suddenly
felt choked up.

This was then followed by a prolonged silence.
“If…” After a lengthy silence, Lydia finally spoke. “If Cordelia truly cannot let go of that young man…
then let him marry into our family.”
That was the greatest compromise Lydia could make.
Upon hearing those words, Richard breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his wife wasn’t as
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmunreasonable as he had thought.
However, just as Richard let out a sigh of relief, Lydia suddenly received a phone call. Then her face
instantly turned incredibly grim. “That Lund kid is truly detestable! I will never agree to him being with
Cordelia!”
“What happened?” Richard furrowed his brow, puzzled as to why Lydia would suddenly change her
tune just a second after she had seemed to relent.
Lydia’s face darkened as she spoke, “Myles called to say that that d*mned Emrys has hit Zeke and
even dragged Cordelia into his mess. They’ve already been taken to the Montelongo residence.”
“What?!” Richard’s face drastically changed as well. He quickly hit the brakes, turned around, and
headed straight for the Montelongo residence.
Meanwhile, Roger also received a call from his daughter, Jacqueline.
“Dad, this is bad. Dr. Lund has offended Zeke, and they’ve taken him away. Mr. Montelongo will
definitely not let Dr. Lund off easily. You must think of a way quickly!” Jacqueline said anxiously.
“Don’t worry. I’m pleading for mercy with Mr. Montelongo right away.” Roger hung up the phone without
a moment’s hesitation and hurriedly made his way to the Montelongo residence.
