Chapter 6

Two days left before leaving.

Mr. and Mrs. Lester could not bear it any longer and asked Lidia to go home.

They seemed to have forgotten the farce at the engagement party and gave her orders in a condescending manner.

Mrs. Lester said, “Pamela is the eldest daughter of the Lester Family. She should be the hostess of the wedding. If you are smart, you should take the initiative to ask Jeffry to change the hostess.”

Mr. Lester also said, “You only have all this because of your identity. You should give it all back to her.”

Pamela crossed her arms and held her chin high.

Lidia, who had been treated coldly by her parents since childhood, did not feel bad.

“I don't have the final say on the wedding. You can discuss it with Jeffry. I agree with everything.”

The indifferent attitude made Mr. and Mrs. Lester were quite suspicious.

They were just waiting for Lidia to take the initiative to talk about the marriage exchange after the engagement party.

They waited and waited but she did not come. They thought she did not want to come, but then looking at her attitude, it was clear that she did not care.

Although they were skeptical, they still believed her.

Lidia asked lazily, “Is there anything else?”

“I have something to tell you.” Pamela came over and winked at herparents, “Come with me.”

The two of them went to the balcony.

Pamela glanced at Lidia with a smile on her face.

“To tell you the truth, I've been with Jeffry for a long time. He told me countless times that you're so clingy, that he hates your constant probing and that he hates your sensitivity. He's tired of you a long time ago.”

Lidia did not respond.

“I will not take the initiative to marry Jeffry, but I still don't want to see that the bride is you.”

As soon as the words fell, a loud slap was heard.

Lidia looked up in astonishment and saw Pamela running towards the stairs crying.

“Lidia, I won't fight with you for Jeffry, I promise. So, please don't hit me.”

The stairs were very high and a people would be half crippled if they fell down.

Lidia clearly saw the mocking smile on the woman's mouth.

Her whole body was stiff and she watched helplessly as she fell backwards and fell into the arms of Jeffry who was running up in a hurry.

Her heart rose high and then fell heavily.

Mrs. Lester screamed, “Lidia, how dare you push Pamela down the stairs?! Do you want to kill her?”

The two men rushed upstairs and beat Lidia severely.

Jeffry embraced the crying Pamela and walked in front of Lidia, his face looking terrifyingly gloomy.

“Lidia, when did you become so vicious? In order to marry me, do you even don’t care about human life?”

Pamela, who had the slap mark on her face, was terrified. “Lidia, don't hit me. I won't compete with you for Jeffry.”

Jeffry raised his hand and slapped Lidia hard in the face.

The beatings and scoldings from her adoptive parents were not as strong as a slap from him.

Tasting the blood in her mouth, Lidia pulled the corners of her mouth numbly.

She did not even feel like crying. The love of her family and six years of love were not as strong as Pamela’s cunning scheme.

She said nothing and silently allowed the three men to beat and scold her.

It was not until Pamela complained that her feet hurt that Jeffry hugged her and left with a distressed look on his face.

After being kicked out of the Lester Family villa, Lidia limped out.

When there were only a few steps left on the stairs, Mrs. Lester pushed her hard and said that no one could have a daughter as ungrateful as her and that she would cut off all ties with her.

Heavy rain poured down, soaking Lidia like a drowned rat.

She did not know where they had taken the phone. She walked alone in the heavy rain and returned to the villa in a mess.

Lidia developed a high fever that night and Jeffry was nowhere to be seen.

She forced herself to take the medicine and her fever did not subside until the next day.

The next day, Lidia stayed in the villa and dealt with all the things.

Placing the white wedding dress on the bed, she could still think of the day when she tried on the wedding dress, when Jeffry kissed her gently and said that she was the most beautiful bride.

Thinking about it at this moment, there was no ripple in my heart, only the relief of being liberated.

She called a friend to make the final confirmation.

The wedding would not happen, but her gift would still come.

In the evening, Lidia, wearing a hat and sunglasses, met with the most famous media person in the city through the introduction of a friend.

“How much does it cost for exclusive media coverage of the Hopkins Family heir?”

As soon as they met, she put the USB drive on the table.

The other party raised a finger and said, “Since it was introduced by a friend and is related to the Hopkins Family, I am willing to give you 1.5 million.”

“Deal! I have one condition. The news must be broadcasted online at the exact moment the wedding begins tomorrow.”

“No problem.”

***

On the wedding day.

Jeffry sent her a message early in the morning, saying that the makeup team he had arranged would do Pamela's makeup first and asked her to wait after changing into her wedding dress.

Going up the chat box, there were chat records that became increasingly indifferent.

She changed into a mermaid long wedding dress and put on her best makeup.

As the sun rises, she boarded a plane to a foreign country to embrace a new life.
