C64 Woman, You Win!

Lydia's voice sounded in her ear, and she looked up at the man beside her.

Author?

'Is that really him?'

She suppressed her doubts and steadied her footsteps.

After saying "Thank you", she was about to pull away from Author.

In the next second, Author grabbed her by the arm and restrained her.

"Why are you acting so distant from me?"

"Are you familiar with me?"

Lydia frowned.

The smile on Author's face stiffened slightly. He could not help but pout and complain, "Little sweetheart, if you say that, I will be sad."

Lydia was speechless.

She felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard the author’s words.

She was about to retort, but she suddenly felt a chill behind her back. In an instant, she felt the presence of Reece.

Perhaps, she had cared too much about this man in her previous life, so she could still feel the strong pressure and aura that he brought with him in this life.

At the same time, her other arm suddenly felt a sharp pain!

Then, she was suddenly pulled by the man.

Seeing this, the Author, who was always by Lydia's side, squinted his smiling eyes and secretly tightened his grip on her arm.

For a moment, Lydia was pulled by two forces that were secretly competing against each other.

Because their strength was about the same, she was stuck in the middle!

At this moment, the gazes of the two men met in midair.

Their gazes collided like two powerful currents colliding with each other. The air was filled with crackling sounds of explosions, and their ferocious looks seemed to want to shatter everything around them into pieces.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Tillman?"

Author was busy with Reece, so he put on a fake smile and grabbed Lydia's arm, pulling her towards him again.

Feeling someone pulling her, Reece narrowed his eyes and said, "Let go!"

"Why?" Author smiled with narrowed eyes, but there was a knife hidden in his eyes. "Isn't it up to Lydia to decide where to go?"

The two men looked at each other and their gazes fell on Lydia.

Lydia was speechless.

How could she not be involved in this war?

She glanced at the two men and smiled bitterly. It seemed that she couldn't.

"Here's your dessert. Let's go. I'll treat you to coffee."

Before she could respond, Author pulled her and was about to leave.

She had just moved when she felt a cold blade in her right hand. Her entire body tensed up.

The ruthlessness of the man in her previous life had already penetrated deep into her bones, so she was afraid of him in this life.

However, the fear faded away in a few seconds.

Even though she was not afraid of angering Reece, she still pushed the Author away and took the initiative to hold Reece's arm. "Li, thank you for your kind intentions, but I have something to take care of today. Sorry."

She pursed her lips and declined.

The smile on Author's face stiffened as he retracted his hand from the air.

"If there's nothing else, then my husband and I will leave first." Lydia nodded politely and walked towards the besieged Ellis family with Reece in tow.

Author stood in place and looked in the direction the two of them had left. His face was gloomy.

At this moment, Reece, who was being held by Lydia, swept a glance at the woman beside him. His cold expression melted away.

...

The Ellis family was surrounded.

"Lady Viola, do you have anything to refute the plagiarism incident?"

"Miss Ellis, please answer me."

"Miss Ellis?"

The reporters all stared at Viola.

Viola, who was being surrounded, covered her face and hid behind Blain.

Because she had been hiding and did not answer, the entertainment reporters were still unwilling to return empty-handed. One question after another, as if they were determined to ask Viola until she answered.

"Miss Ellis, answer me!"

"Miss Ellis!"

The reporters came forward again, but no one knew who pushed Janie.

Seeing this, Viola rushed forward to support her grandmother. "Grandma, are you alright?"

"What do you think?"

Immediately, Viola's hand froze.

Then, the old lady pushed her away. "Go away and get rid of these annoying flies before coming back to the hotel!"

"...Yes." Seeing the old lady leave, Viola nodded with reddened eyes.

Seeing this scene, Lydia couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

This was really like the saying, 'The heavens are merciful, and they will forgive anyone!'

In her previous life, she had been treated coldly by the old lady. Now, it was time for Viola to taste her own medicine. Even if she took some interest in her hatred!

She stopped in her tracks and looked at Viola coldly. She was once again surrounded by the media.

The woman suddenly stopped moving, and Reece also stopped.

He lowered his gaze and glanced at the dark figure beside him. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What exactly did she do to make you so lazy to even care about this little sister of yours?"

"..."

Lydia was silent. She stared at Viola, who was like a rat on the street that everyone wanted to kill. She frowned.

Little sister?

Heh!

She didn't have such a "good sister"!

"Lydia?"

Perhaps it was because she had been distracted for too long, but the man called her by her name again.

She snapped out of her daze and smiled. "I, Lydia, have never had a sister!"

Reece was shocked and his gaze became complicated.

What exactly had happened to make someone who used to protect Viola say something like she didn't have a sister?

He was getting more and more curious about what this woman had gone through to make her change her attitude so drastically.

That day, Lydia was dragged by Janie to the hotel.

When Viola left, she leaned against the wall in exhaustion.

At this moment, she received a call from Janie.

"Grandma, I'm done here. I'll go to the hotel now." As she spoke, Viola quickly stood up and hurriedly walked to the side of the road to call a taxi.

"There's no need for you to come over."

Janie hung up the phone with a cold voice.

Viola froze on the spot as she listened to the busy voice on the microphone. Her expression was extremely ugly.

There was no need for her to come over!

The old lady didn't even bother to make a fuss about it!

Heh, heh heh heh!

Viola smiled coldly, her eyes filled with anger.

She slammed her phone onto the ground and screamed, "Ah! It's you! It's you who ruined my life, ruined everything that I built with my life! I won't let you go!"

The screen on the phone fell to the ground and rolled a few times before it rolled to the bottom of a pair of shoes.

Amelia glanced at the phone on the ground and looked at Viola. "Are you alright?"

"Why are you here?" Viola frowned and looked around in a panic. She saw that no one was around, so she pulled Amelia into an alley.

"Didn't I say that we shouldn't meet if we're fine? Why don't you listen to me?" Viola complained as she glared at Amelia.

"..."

"Three hundred thousand..." Viola frowned and hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still took out her phone and said, "I'll transfer you twenty thousand first. I'll make up for the rest tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you."

Amelia was so excited that her eyes turned red.

With this money, she could let her mother continue to stay in the hospital.

After Viola clicked on a certain software to enter the bank transfer password, it showed that the bank card was frozen.

Frozen?

How could it be frozen?

This was the old lady's credit card, with tens of thousands of yuan in the balance!

She didn't believe it and entered the password again, but the same reply was given.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her so pale, Amelia asked worriedly.

Viola did not answer, but directly dialed the bank's number.

"Excuse me, how can I use my credit card?"

"Hi, the vice card you have was frozen twenty minutes ago." The voice of the customer service staff came from the phone. Viola's heart twisted into a knot. "Who froze it?"

"Main card holder, Ms. Janie."

Janie's words made Viola's face turn pale.

She quickly hung up the phone and called another bank card customer service. The result was the same, her card was frozen.

Frozen... frozen!

"Viola?"

"Ah?" Viola came back to her senses and looked at Amelia. She calmed herself down and squeezed out a smile to comfort her. "Ahem, Amelia, I have used up all my credit card. Go home and wait for me. I'll send you the money later."

"But... Okay, please send it to me before 3 o'clock."

"Alright, I got it."

With that, Viola left in a hurry.

...

After lunch, Lydia returned to the hospital.

In the car.

Reece glanced at the stubborn woman beside him, then his gaze fell on the front of the car.

This woman was so stubborn that it was impossible for him to get her to change her mind.

It was obvious that she had touched the wall with Amelia in the morning, but this woman refused to give up stubbornly.

She didn't even turn around when she bumped into him. It was exactly the same as when he had just met her that year. She was as stubborn as ever.

Thinking about it now, she was really silly and cute.

Cute?

Reece frowned at the way he described her.

He was getting more and more obsessed with her lately!

He was so annoying that he couldn't help but increase the speed of the car.

"Hey, what are you doing? Drive slower!" She leaned back against the seat and grabbed her seat belt tightly.

After receiving the complaint, Reece realized how much his emotions had fluctuated just now.

He forced himself to calm down and slowly let go of the accelerator.

"Reece, what's wrong with you?" The car steadily moved forward, but Lydia did not dare to let go of her seat belt.

She looked at the man on the car with a confused expression.

The man was expressionless as he stared straight ahead, not giving her any response.

She didn't want to ask him if he didn't want to say anything.

Just like that, the two of them fell into silence.

Lydia laid on her seat and looked at the road in front of her. However, as she looked at it, she felt sleepy.

Just like that, she fell asleep on her seat.

When the car stopped in the parking lot, she fell asleep and fell straight onto the man's right arm.

Reece's body stiffened slightly as he looked at the little person beside him.

Under the sunlight, the woman's small face was white and rosy. It was so beautiful that it made him feel dizzy.

The man raised his hand and gently placed the hair on the woman's face behind her ear. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.

"Heh..."

It was only when he chuckled that he realized that he had been attracted by this woman for some reason.

He frowned and stared at the face of Lydia, which seemed to have been enchanted by magic. His gaze became complicated. After a long while, he suddenly laughed.

"Woman... You win."
