Chapter 1081
Was that her top candidate for a daughter-in-law?
Patting her chest, Vanessa's beautiful face instantly became distorted with embarrassment. "What in the world is going on? Tell me clearly! Cough, cough..."
She felt dizzy and was so enraged that she was trembling. She could not accept that the intelligent person who had been so sensible in her eyes, whom she had doted on for so many years, and had always been biased in trying to turn her into her daughter-in-law, was actually pretending to be herself behind her back, and was smearing the blame on her!
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't believe that those malicious words were said by such a well-educated young lady! She knew that Wendy had a bad temper, but she never dared to think that she could have such terrible intentions and play such dirty tricks!
Her face was pale at that moment. Wendy also knew that she had impulsively committed a great taboo. She burst into tears on the spot. "Mrs. Bowles, don't be angry with me. I didn't mean it. I just love Willy too much, so I was confused..."
"I know I was wrong! Mrs. Bowles, please forgive me just this once. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"
"Mrs. Bowles, I know I'm wrong! Please, for my mother's sake, don't mind what I did. Sob, sob... Mrs. Bowles, you dote on me the most. Please help me. Please forgive me just this once, okay?"
Wendy was out of breath as she cried. Outside the door, the parents of the Cook family had rushed over as they heard the noise. Vanessa's expression was extremely displeased.
"Don't call me like that! I don't deserve it!"
It was because she had doted on her since she was young that she was even more disappointed!
Squinting her eyes, Vanessa waved directly at the members of the Cook family.
"I don't want to hear it anymore! Don't ask me what happened, either. I don't want to say anything, and I don't want to hear anything, anymore! We no longer welcome you in this home!"
As she flung hand, Vanessa walked through the crowd and went out, puffing with rage.
At that time, Wendy's parents had a rough understanding of the situation. After listening to the replay of the recording, they were really embarrassed too and could only apologize to Alfred and Willy incessantly.
"Alfred, Willy, Wendy is young and immature. I'm really sorry. It's our fault for not raising her right..."
After all, the two families had been friends for many years, and it was an issue between their children. No matter how disappointed Alfred was, he couldn't bring himself to say much. After saying a few words with them, he had visibly calmed down and was not going after Wendy about the incident anymore. Soon, he ushered the Cook family out of their house.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Willy kept Wendy's cell phone and even sent a text message that read, "At the banquet, her pregnancy is affected. It's inconvenient, keep going!"
Sure enough, Lauren's cell phone rang again not long after, and the same voice of Vanessa's was heard once more, with endless scolding ringing out in the room.
Lauren gave a few words in response. Willy nodded to her as a signal, then turned around and left. Meanwhile, Lexx had directly locked onto the location with his people and was knocking on the door of the Clements family's home.
In the hall, Christian and Penny, who had already changed into their pajamas, were also shocked by the sudden situation. Seeing Lexx, Penny's face paled in an instant, and her clenched knuckles were visibly white.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
"What are you doing? How dare you just come into our house in the middle of the night? What do you think this place is? A market?"
As she shouted with dissatisfaction, she deliberately raised her voice. At the same time, she gave her confidant a glance, hoping that she could hurry up and clue Hallie in! Unfortunately, the confidant couldn't understand what she meant. For a long time, she was hinting her with her gazes, but she didn't move at all.
Christian was also annoyed, but before he could say anything, Lexx piped up first.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Clements. There are some issues going on. When Master Willy comes, we will explain and apologize to you!"
Since Lexx had brought a lot of people with him, a few of them hurried upstairs upon Lexx's gesture.
"Hey, what are you doing? That's my daughter's room! You are all guys, and you can't invade her private space, don't you know that?" Penny was still roaring, and Christian was in a flurry of rage as well.
"You're all too arrogant! I'm letting you go for the sake of Alfred, not because I'm scared of you! I'm going to call him!"
Christian turned back to get his cell phone, but Lexx had already rushed into Hallie's room hastily with his people and pulled her out of the closed bathroom. Soon, they returned to the hall and took out the phone, the recording equipment, and a more advanced and slightly larger voice changer. Christian had just keyed in the number on his phone, but when he saw the things on the table, he was dumbfounded. "What... what are these?" The two female bodyguards pushed Hallie to one side, and Lexx pressed the recording device on the other side. Suddenly, the sound of Hallie's cursing filled the air in the night sky. Once the voice- changing equipment was activated, Christian's expression also changed, and he instantly bellowed like thunder.
"Halley? What are all these?"
"Dad, save me! Get them to let go of me! I was in a bad mood, and was too depressed. That's why I just bought something to play with and vent my emotions. Can't I do that? Dad, this is our home! Do I have to ask for permission before I do things? Dad, save me, they're crossing the line..."
"Mom, speak up for me! Call the police and report them for trespassing into our private property!"
Hallie was yelling, and Christian was stunned for a few seconds as well. For a moment, he did not know what was going on. Right then, when everything was stiff in the air, a cold voice abruptly sliced through the air.
"It's your business if you want to
vent your emotions, but the way you do so is by imitating my mother's
voice, and by calling and set
n
my fiancee non-stop, which has caused obvious mental and physical harm to both her and the child! I
have a hospital diagnosis and also the evidence, and I can even sue you for attempted murder right now!"
They strode forward and glanced at the evidence on the table. Willy's attitude was obviously cold too.
"Mr. Clements, Aunt Penny, I'm sorry
about all these! Your daughter attempted mental abuse and tried to drive a wedge between my fiancee and I to, Kurt her and the child. She also imitated my mother's voice and destroyed my family relationship. If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, then I can only hand over these evidence to the police and have them deal with it officially!"
Christian was so furious that he was going to explode, for how Hallie had misbehaved, but all he could do was put down his pride and make promises, swear on his soul, and apologize. Finally, he managed to somehow calm down the havoc.
He closed the door and immediately slapped
Hallie in the face.
"What a disgrace! The Clements
et
family's reputation has been completely ruined by your hands alone! Do you know how many projects there are between us and the Bowtes family? Thank God no lives were harmed. Otherwise, you can throw away your dreams of being a part of the Clements family and prepare to beg for food on the street! All you do is causing troubles!"
"Starting today, you'd better stay home and reflect on yourself! I'm not giving you a single penny of pocket money from now on! You're a nothing good!"
Waving his hand, Christian went back to the room in a fit of fury. Behind him, Hallie sobbed her heart out, and Penny's face had gone totally pale. What a disaster! They were so close to success, but it had all come crashing down at once, and everything had been ruined!
