C44 I Couldn't Help It.

At this moment, Lydia was still in a daze as she stared at the bowl of stewed meat.

What a family!

She was caught off guard!

She swallowed the food in her mouth and glanced at the people of the Ellis family.

Reece, his parents, Janie, Lydia, and Blain were all staring at her, waiting for her answer.

The reason why the Ellis family was waiting for her to answer was because they were expecting her to help the Ellis family tide through this crisis.

Why was Reece staring at her like that?

What was he trying to say?

"This..."

The Ellis family immediately focused their attention on her, hoping to hear the answer they wanted.

However, she suddenly stopped. Everyone panicked.

Some of them even started to feel nervous as they looked at her with worried eyes.

"Elder sister, what are you hesitating for? This is the best opportunity for you to please your grandmother. If you help her solve the problem, you might be able to return to the family tree in the future!"

Viola leaned over and whispered to her, her face full of concern for her.

Lydia was staring at her, but she didn't seem to care.

How could she be so kind?

She was definitely digging a hole for her to jump into.

Lydia raised her eyes and looked at Blain. "Second Uncle."

"Hey, say it!" Blain was ecstatic.

"I can't help you with this matter." Lydia refused with a serious expression.

Blain's smile froze.

No!

Everyone in the Ellis family was frozen.

Even Reece could not help but look at her.

Lydia had actually refused to help the Ellis family.

Wasn't she worried that her parents would be bullied in the Ellis family?

He narrowed his eyes, his face full of curiosity.

He wanted to see what this woman was up to.

"Lydia... What did you just say? I, I didn't hear it clearly." Blain squeezed out a smile, wanting to confirm it again.

"As far as I know, because you didn't deliver the goods in time according to the agreement, the distributors collectively received the new goods ten days later than their peers. That's why they were so angry that they took back their orders."

Blain's face turned ugly when he was poked by Lydia. "They have too many orders. The workers can't come out. What can I do? Besides, I was only late by a few days. They can just cancel the order!"

"Second Uncle, the clothing business is different from other businesses. The clothing business needs a trend! If you were late by ten days, you might have missed a trend. If the trend has already been taken, then the clothes in your hands are the same as those in the market. So, the price will naturally be much lower."

"However, the price you gave the distributors is still the same as before. They are naturally unwilling."

If the Tillman family were to help, it would be equivalent to spending money on a bunch of seasoned clothes. It would be equivalent to spending money for nothing." Lydia pursed her lips and became serious. "When it comes to business, I can't let the Tillman family help Second Uncle."

Lydia's analysis was spot on, and the man was instantly stunned.

It seemed that he had underestimated this woman's foresight.

He didn't expect her to be so calm at this time.

He couldn't help but smile as he looked at the man beside him.

"After all this time, you just don't want to help!" Blain's expression darkened. "Lydia, I have doted on you for so long. The Ellis family has doted on you for so long! Now that the Ellis family is in trouble, you actually don't want to help. Who do you think you are?"

As he spoke, Benny looked at his big brother with a wronged expression, "Big brother, quickly take a look at this good daughter you raised! She really does give our family, the Ellis family, face!"

"..."

Benny's face darkened when he heard Blain's sarcastic remarks.

The atmosphere at the dining table instantly turned sour.

Viola forced herself to look away from Lydia and pushed Liu Jie, "Mom, don't sit there like a fool. You should also add fuel to the fire."

She had to admit that Lydia had indeed become smarter recently.

She was no longer the woman who was filled with thoughts about how stupid Reece was. She had exceeded her expectations again.

However, rejecting the help of the Ellis family was undoubtedly a loss of all the good impression that Lydia had accumulated in front of her grandmother.

After all, the Ellis family was in a critical situation this time.

Since Lydia had chosen this path, she would take the opportunity to stir up trouble and completely wear down her grandmother's patience.

"Your Second Uncle was indeed in the wrong in the clothing business, but the mistake has already been made. Isn't he also thinking of remedying it? Lydia, your Second Uncle has never begged anyone in his entire life. This is the first time he begs you, and you're not giving him any face?" Liu Jie looked at Lydia with teary eyes.

Seeing that Lydia was still unwilling to let go, Liu Jie cried even louder, "Lydia, you have to know that if you don't help this time, your grandmother and your parents might be sleeping on the streets tomorrow!"

"Lydia, you don't care if I have nothing to do with your aunt and sister. Don't you care about your grandmother and big brother and sister-in-law?" Blain turned his head and tried to pressure Lydia again.

However, Lydia remained expressionless and remained silent.

Seeing that she was unwilling to agree, the expression of the always silent Janie darkened. "Enough, you two don't need to cry like ghosts. She helped us because of her feelings, and she didn't help us because of her duty!"

"Mom..."

"You still think it's not embarrassing enough?" Blain wanted to argue, but Janie raised her hand and slapped him, "If you want to blame someone, then blame yourself for being useless. If you make a mistake, you should bear the responsibility. Don't embarrass yourself in front of the guests!"

Even though she was dissatisfied with her decision, she still had to consider the overall situation.

With a loud slap, Blain's face was burning with pain.

He covered his face in grievance and did not dare to say anything more. However, he turned his head and glared at Lydia.

"Grandma, don't be angry." When the atmosphere was at its peak, Viola walked up and held Janie's hand. She said obediently, "Grandma, don't worry. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to the Ellis family."

"Sigh … I am still sensible. Although it is just a sentence, I feel so comfortable in my heart." Janie sighed, her eyes full of recognition for Viola.

"Grandma, I'm not just saying. I signed up for the jewelry design competition in Goulcrest this year. I want to win first place!" Viola quickly explained.

Janie was stunned when she heard this. "What does this have to do with our clothes?"

"After I win first place, I will naturally borrow a batch of designs. When the time comes, I can mix some of the designs with my clothes and sell them. This way, I should be able to solve some of the problems of the Ellis family."

Janie thought for a few seconds and her expression became better, "Just selling jewelry and clothes at the same time. Good, good! I have a headache!"

"Thank you, Grandma, for your praise." After winning Janie's admiration, Viola smiled.

Janie, who had been holding her breath all this time, deliberately patted Viola's hand and sighed, "Look, at the critical moment, I still have to rely on my own granddaughter, Viola!"
