C138 What Use Is There for Her to Explain It?
While Lydia was racking her brains to find a suitable reason to reject Reece, a black luxury car stopped in front of them.
The window of the black car revealed a gentle face. The man opened his mouth slightly and called out, "Reece."
The person who came was none other than one of Reece's best friends, Moody.
Lydia didn't have much of a recollection of Moody in her previous life.
She had only met him once when she was at a gathering with Reece. In her memory, Moody was not as cheerful as Loran, nor was he as cold as Reece. He always seemed like a gentleman.
"I'm sorry, I came back late for some business." While she was distracted, Moody had already gotten out of the car and stood in front of them. "Grandfather's matter... my condolences."
Reece nodded and opened the car door. His gaze fell on the girl who was wearing a thin outfit. "Go back to the car and wait for me."
"Alright, you guys chat." Coincidentally, she didn't want to participate in their conversation.
She was no longer the little girl who wanted to join Reece's circle of friends.
In this life, she didn't care about anything about that man anymore.
Lydia smiled politely at Moody and walked into the luxury car not far away.
Because of her grandfather's death, Lydia had not closed her eyes for two days.
When she leaned against the warm car, sleepiness crazily rushed up to her.
She closed her watery eyes and rested while waiting. However, Reece didn't wait for her. Instead, he called her.
"Hey." Lydia, who was still in a daze, answered the phone and asked softly, "Who is it?"
"Lydia? Why are you calling me? Where's my brother? Is he around you?"
Hearing Loran's voice, Lydia finally realized that she had picked up Reece's call in a daze.
"I have something urgent to ask him. Give him the phone."
Before she could say anything, Loran's anxious voice sounded from the other end of the line.
"..."
Loran was so anxious that she instinctively wanted to ask him about something, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.
Although Loran was prejudiced against her, he was still a gentleman. Since he had said that he had something urgent to ask her, it must be something important.
After thinking about it for a while, she decided to get out of the car and find Reece.
As soon as she walked to Moody's car, she heard his voice, "Reece, after all, the Woodward family has raised Maria. We have to look at her for her sake."
Halfway through his words, a complicated emotion flashed across Moody's gentle eyes.
He paused for a moment before continuing, "For the sake of Maria, I'll give the Woodward family a way out."
"..." Reece's eyes fell on the far side of the road. His eyes were filled with a dark mist that no one could see through.
"Reece, if you want to make up for what happened to her, you don't have to go to the extent of destroying the Woodward family. There must be a way..."
Reece glanced at the phone in his hand and said coldly, "Tell the Woodward family not to court death!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
In the next second, his deep black eyes met a pair of starry eyes. "..."
"Loran called to find you." Lydia curled her lips. There was no change in her expression, as if she had never heard their conversation.
She handed the phone to Reece and turned to leave.
At this moment, her arm was grabbed by the man, and she was forced to freeze on the spot.
"Did you hear what I said just now?"
Lydia frowned slightly, but she quickly relaxed her eyebrows.
Although it was hard to notice, Reece still noticed her change.
He knew she heard him.
"Why didn't you ask me why?" He looked at her calmly, but his heart felt heavy.
Lydia struggled free from his hand and smiled indifferently, "Why do you ask?" Was his choice related to her?
She had never expected anyone to avenge her.
In her previous life, she had been schemed against by the Woodward family. She would pay them back one step at a time!
"..." Their gazes met, and the separation in her eyes hurt Reece's heart.
"You guys continue chatting. I'll get the driver to send me back to school." Lydia struggled free from the man's hand and coldly lifted her legs to leave.
"Reece, why didn't you tell her that you were willing to let the Woodward family go because of... Because..." As he spoke, he glanced at the video on the screen of his phone. His throat felt like it was stuck in his throat. After a long pause, he sighed and said, "Go and chase after her. Explain clearly and don't let the misunderstanding deepen."
"There's no use in explaining."
"If you explain, maybe she won't be unhappy. Your relationship with her won't be divided again." Moody was puzzled by his firm explanation.
Reece ignored the girl's back and threw his phone back to Moody. "For her, I let the Woodward family go because she doesn't care."
She didn't care? What was the point of explaining?
...
The next day after Old Mr. Tillman's funeral, the unconscious Janie and Blain woke up one after another.
Blain's head was covered in blood, and even if he woke up, he would not be optimistic. As for Janie, no one knew who she was after she woke up. She was completely dumbfounded.
"Doctor, what's going on?" Lydia glanced at the confused Janie and was puzzled.
The doctor finished his examination and sighed. "It looks like Ms. Zhou suffered a serious injury to her brain when she was in a car accident, resulting in a brain damage and memory loss."
"Is there a chance of recovery?"
"It's hard to say. It might be fine in a few days, or it might be forever like this."
"Are you going to be so stupid for the rest of your life? What about the Ellis Group?" At this moment, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open and a few people from the Ellis Group walked in with dark expressions on their faces.
Blain and Viola's father and daughter followed behind the chairman.
With tears in her eyes, Viola held onto Janie's hand and sobbed, "Grandma... Viola, it was not easy for me to wake you up. How did you end up like this?"
"That's right. The company can't be without a leader!"
"Right, the company's recent performance has been declining, and the stock has also plummeted. If this goes on, our old capital will be lost!"
As soon as Viola cried, her emotions were immediately stirred up.
"I think the most urgent thing to do now is to choose a person to manage the company!" One of the shareholders glanced at everyone and suggested.
Hearing this, the board of directors in the ward looked at each other and felt that this was a wonderful idea.
"Do any of you have any recommendations?" Seeing that, Viola spoke up, "Sister, Dad and I are all here. Why don't we choose one person to take charge of everything in the Ellis family?"
"I think it's a good idea!"
"Sure!"
Everyone agreed to Viola's suggestion.
Only Lydia, who was standing beside Janie, did not say a word. Her gaze swept across the people in the room and landed on Viola, who was secretly rejoicing.
She snorted coldly, her eyes filled with coldness.
Heh, Viola had gone through all the trouble to get the directors to come to the hospital for this position.
You really don't want to give up until you hit the wall!
If that's the case, then I'll play around with you today.
I'll let you know what it means to — — — — — — — — — —
Not only that, she wanted to let Viola taste the feeling of being forced to sign a transfer of shares with her head.
In her previous life, you had pressured me, and I will return it to you one by one.
She collected her thoughts and smiled, "V Viola is right. Since everyone in the Ellis family is here, let's take the opportunity to choose a proxy president. This way, everyone will be worried."
Blain was shocked, "..." Didn't she agree? Why did she agree so quickly?
"..."
Even though Lydia agreed so readily, she was still surprised. However, when she glanced at the board members who had already become a leech, she felt relieved. She even felt like she was watching a good show.
Tsk, tsk, tsk... Oh, what are you going to do next?
