My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1309

Nevertheless, Lucy did not respond to their insults. It seemed as if her kneecaps were stuck to the ground. She had her head bowed, and her shock of maroon hair that was soaked through laid matted against her forehead.

She had stopped seeing and hearing her surroundings because the anger deep down in her heart was the only thing fueling her to live on.

I am betting my life on this! I am betting that Jordan wouldn’t have the heart to let me die for real!

Seeing as Lucy refused to answer him, Ryan kicked her suddenly, causing her to topple to the ground. She was already at the brink of her limit for the longest time, but she had been enduring it with the last breath she had. Now that Ryan had kicked her down, Lucy simply did not have the strength to support herself. In the end, she slumped onto the ground, motionless.

However, Ryan was still unsatisfied, so he approached her to kick her a few more times. “Wake up! Stop playing dead. Even if you die, our father will not even pay any attention to you.”

His rain boot with a thick sole trampled on Lucy’s soft and fragile body; one could almost hear her bones cracking and breaking. Nevertheless, Lucy refused to make a sound—maybe she no longer had the energy to utter anything.

Nobody in the Edwards Residence had the courage to say anything while they watched the two of them beating Lucy up at the main entrance. In reality, the elders of the Edwards Family were all sitting in the living room, and that included Jordan too.

The large living room was so quiet one could hear a pin drip, whereas all the elders were gazing at each other in speechless despair. The atmosphere was especially depressing, and everybody turned to look at Jordan, who had a dark and eerie expression.

They started having second thoughts ever since Lucy started kneeling at the entrance.

In all honesty, it wasn’t a huge issue that Lucy was a lesbian because there were plenty of dirty secrets within rich and powerful families. Many people posed as characters with high morals on the surface, but some men might start fooling around with other men after getting bored with women. When they got bored with men, some of them might even get involved with dogs.

In reality, the Edwards were furious that Lucy had lied to them. They were also angry that she hadn’t gotten married for more than a decade because of a woman. Besides, since the embarrassing family news had been exposed to the public, they had no choice but to make their stand by chasing Lucy out of the house.

As long as she returned and admitted her mistakes, Lucy just had to get married with a man with the right social status to bring benefits to the family. Everything would be okay as long as she stayed as a passable Miss Edwards.

When Lucy was gone for the past two months, the pair of clueless twins wreaked havoc in the Edwards Group… They were newbies after all, and so the pair of amateurs just couldn’t handle such a large enterprise like Edwards Group.

At that moment, the Edwards finally recalled Lucy’s achievements. When she was around, she handled affairs in a vigorous manner, and she was decisive and swift. In fact, she managed the Edwards Family’s matters perfectly, so their business performances were ascending steadily.

On the other hand, the twins started eliminating people who had different opinions to theirs the moment they entered the Edwards Group. They actually arranged for people from the Yard Family to enter the company, and they even chased away the core elite members within the Edwards Group.

Their actions were clearly challenging the limits and patience of the Edwards Group. The Edwards wanted the two families to unite, but in reality, they wanted the Edwards Group to take over the Yard Group, and so they were naturally wary of the latter.

Previously, after the initial delight of the four young masters suddenly joining the Edwards Group, everybody within the Edwards Family was on high alert. They were afraid that in the end, the Edwards wouldn’t swallow the Yard Group whole, but would instead be taken over by the latter.

Jordan hardly interfered with the administrations of the family businesses. He merely sent a substitute to fool outsiders, but nobody knew where he truly went. In the end, he might just quietly watch the Yard Family take over the Edwards Family. After all, both forces belonged to him, and he didn’t care about his family name. However, this was a big deal for the Edwards Family.

Therefore, the Edwards needed Lucy to stay on to fight the Yard Group!

In the end, the most powerful Grand Elder stepped forward to break the silence. “I suggest we welcome Miss Edwards home. She might have made lots of mistakes, but I can tell that she’s truly remorseful.”

After the announcement from the Grand Elder, the rest of the elders started voicing out too.

“Currently, she is a part of the Edwards Group. Therefore, I want to make myself clear—the Edwards Group cannot afford to lose Miss Edwards!”
