C72 Is This Your Attitude?

At eight o'clock in the evening.

In a certain private room in the Three Birth Stone Restaurant.

"Josie, it's already eight o'clock. Why isn't Reece here yet? Is he not coming?" Mildred glanced at her watch and looked at Josie worriedly.

Josie looked at the mirror and said, "Just wait patiently. Maybe there will be a traffic jam on the way."

"Josie, Reece is so smart. How could he believe what happened back then?" Mildred nervously held her hands together. "What if..."

Josie closed the mirror and glared at Mildred. "No, no!"

"Aiya, don't be angry, Josie. Mom is not sure." Seeing that she was angry, Mildred quickly explained.

Josie looked a little calmer. She picked up the perfume and sprayed it on her wrist, then slowly rubbed it on her neck. "Don't worry. Just do what I said. I'll take care of the rest."

"Even if he doesn't believe it, I have a way to win."

Hearing Josie say that, Mildred felt as if she had taken a pill.

Ding.

At this moment, Josie sent a message.

This message was sent by Reece.

When she saw the words 'I'm here' on the screen, her eyes lit up. "Dad, Mom, Reece is here."

While informing her parents, she quickly tidied up her coat and tied her hair behind her ear.

After doing all this, she looked elegantly in the direction of the door and waited.

She waited for the handsome man to appear.

Tap, tap, tap...

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps stopped in the room she was in.

Josie pursed her red lips. He was here!

She stood up and eagerly opened the door, "Reece, come in for lunch..."

Josie froze when she saw the person outside the door.

Lydia?

Where was Reece?

She looked at the back of the room, but could not see the man. All she saw was the empty corridor.

Did he not come?

What was going on?

Although she was puzzled, she did not dare to slack off when she saw Lydia.

She called out sweetly, "Lydia."

"Miss Woodward, did you book room number608?" Lydia pointed at the room number with a puzzled expression.

"Yes."

Seeing Josie nod, she frowned.

The room that Josie booked?

Then, why did Reece call her here?

Could it be that he was helping the Woodward family to get her out of the marriage? He wanted to use a meal to settle the matter of the past?

Because it was Reece who had called her over, and because of the relationship between Reece and the Woodward family, she couldn't help but think about it.

Her expression turned ugly.

"I'm sorry, I might have walked into the wrong room." She nodded politely at Josie, turned around, and was about to leave.

"I'm not in the wrong room. It's this one."

With a low voice, Reece walked over.

Looking at the man, Lydia felt as if her heart was filled with a heavy stone. As expected, he was paving the way for the Woodward family!

She paused for a moment before continuing to walk towards the elevator with a cold expression.

She couldn't stay here!

Just as the man brushed past her, a pair of large hands grabbed onto his arm and forced him to stop in his tracks.

She looked up at the man and a ball of fire appeared in her eyes. "Let go!"

"The Woodward family sincerely wishes to apologize to you," the man explained in a gentle voice, but she could hear the anger in his voice. "Reece, I'll say it again. Let go!"

Why did they have to ask her to choose to forgive them?

She had the right to choose not to forgive them!

Lydia pushed Reece away, but she didn't push him away. Instead, he grabbed her even tighter.

"The Woodward family is waiting for you." The man said in a low voice as he pulled Lydia into the room.

She felt a sharp pain in her heart as she followed behind Reece. Was this man really going to destroy her remaining dignity?

She gritted her teeth in anger. "Let go!"

"Reece!"

Her eyes were bloodshot as she pulled her arm back. However, her arm was still red, and she couldn't pull it back.

In fact, she was forced to sit on the seat by Reece.

Sitting in her seat, Lydia felt as if someone had ripped a hole in her heart. The bone-piercing pain caused her face to turn as white as paper.

Reece, do you really love Maria so much?

Do you love her so much that you want to protect her even if you know that the Woodward family is wrong?

Heh!

Heh!

Lydia sneered as she looked at him with hatred in her eyes.

Reece, since you insisted on forcing me to do this, then don't blame me for embarrassing everyone!

As she looked at the people from the Woodward family, she clenched her fists so tightly that no one could see it. Her eyes were filled with determination.

"Reece, what are you doing?" Josie stared at the cold man in front of her in confusion.

Not only Josie, but the entire Woodward family was also dumbfounded by Lydia's appearance.

The man raised his eyebrows. "Aren't you going to apologize? Why? Don't tell me that you are going to apologize to the biggest victim of this incident, Lydia?"

Josie was stunned when she heard this. She looked at Lydia in disbelief and then looked at the man.

Why, why did he apologize to Lydia?

At this moment, her heart was filled with unwillingness. She clenched her fists tightly behind her back.

Before she returned to the country, she had heard some rumors saying that Reece's attitude towards Lydia had changed. She didn't believe it, but today, she had to believe it.

'Reece, are you doing this to this woman because you feel guilty?'

'Yes, it must be so!'

"Why? Isn't it true?"

Just as she was lost in thought, the man's cold voice sounded from above her head again.

Josie raised her head and stared at the pair of cold eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she instantly understood what the man meant.

He wanted the Woodward family to give Lydia an explanation today!

Realizing this, Josie clenched her fists and dug her nails into her palms.

When she looked at Lydia again, her eyes were filled with jealousy.

"Reece, when did we say we were going to apologize to her? We clearly said..." Before she could finish her sentence, Mildred interrupted her.

Josie frowned and pulled Mildred to her side. "Mom!"

"Josie?" Mildred looked at Josie in confusion.

"Mom, it was indeed our Woodward family's fault back then. We naturally have to apologize to Lydia."

Hearing what Josie said, Mildred was shocked. "Josie, what did you say?"

Looking at Josie, Mildred almost thought that she was hallucinating!

"Mom, you and Dad were in the wrong. Not only did you harm Lydia, you even caused her death. You even caused my sister's death!" As she spoke, Josie was filled with tears. "Mom, stop being stubborn. Admit your mistakes to Reece and to Lydia. This matter will be over! Don't tell me you want to make things worse?"

Hearing Josie's words, Mildred's face alternated between black and white.

Seeing that Mildred did not respond for a long time, Josie grabbed Mildred's arm and whispered, "Mom, why aren't you apologizing?"

Mildred snorted in displeasure. "Josie, I asked you to come back to help me, and you just helped me like that? Do you think that I wasn't humiliated enough by that girl last time? And now you're helping an outsider slap me?"

"Mom, if you can't bear to do something, then do it in the grand scheme of things!"

"What do you mean? I don't want to bear it!"

Seeing that Mildred was unwilling to admit her mistake, Lydia smiled coldly. "If the Woodward family doesn't want to admit their mistake, then there's no need to make things difficult for you!"

With that, Lydia stood up and was about to leave.

It would be better if the Woodward family didn't admit their mistake, and she didn't need to do that.

Lydia sat down, and Josie could clearly feel the man's face becoming colder and colder. She could not help but feel her scalp go numb.

She suddenly pulled Mildred over and whispered anxiously, "Mom, when I become the Young Lady of the Tillman family, I'll definitely get back at you for what you did to me."

"This..."

Mildred hesitated.

Josie narrowed her eyes and pinched Mildred's arm.

Mildred immediately let out a groan. Before she could react, she was pushed out of the room by Josie.

"Lydia, don't go. My parents have something to tell you."

Josie gave Mildred a look. Mildred resisted for a few seconds before saying unwillingly, "I was wrong."

Her words were spoken so quickly that it was hard to hear clearly without paying attention.

Lydia paused in her steps and turned to look at the obviously reluctant Mildred. "Aunt Xia, what did you say? It was too fast. I didn't hear it clearly. Can you say it again?"

Mildred's expression was extremely ugly, but she had no choice but to endure it because Josie had been egging her on.

"I'm sorry."

This time, Mildred was very sincere.

Lydia understood what she meant, but her expression did not change. "I won't accept an apology like this!"

"Lydia, how can you be so sincere?" Josie asked softly.

She raised her eyebrows. "Kneel down and apologize to me!"

"Kneel down? Don't push your luck, Lydia!" Mildred was furious when she heard this!

Not only Mildred, but even Josie was furious.

Josie suppressed her anger and asked softly, "Lydia, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Is that all?" Lydia sneered. She didn't take it seriously. "Back then, when Maria died, your Woodward family sent someone to kneel in front of Maria's ashes for an entire day and night to admit their mistakes. Is that all?"

Back then, the Woodward family had bullied her without mercy!

She glanced at Mildred and then at Josie. "Miss Woodward, don't you remember what happened back then? Do you want me to help you recall it?"

Her words were neither angry nor amused. Instead, they carried a hint of a smile.

However, the more she acted like this, the more arrogant she became!

The members of the Woodward family turned pale when they heard this.

At this moment, Reece, who was sitting in his seat, narrowed his eyes when he heard this. His eyes were covered in a layer of black mist.

Just as the atmosphere was tense, the man suddenly stood up and left his seat.

Everyone was stunned and turned to look at him.

Of course, there was also Lydia.

As soon as she saw the man walking towards her, her expression darkened.

Was he feeling sorry for the Woodward family?

Heh!

She glared at him coldly, waiting for his reaction.

The man placed his hand on her shoulder and swept his gaze across the people from the Woodward family. "What? Is this the attitude of the Woodward family? Hmm?"

Lydia was surprised.

She turned to look at the man beside her, her eyes filled with confusion.

Wasn't this man helping the Woodward family?

At this moment, the people from the Woodward family were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground.

Josie was the first to react. She was so upset as she looked at the man's cold face.

It was obvious that Reece was biased towards her!

The jealousy in her heart was like poison, spreading throughout her body.

She could not let Reece and Lydia be together anymore. Otherwise, Lydia, who was handicapped, would be a disaster sooner or later.

In the next second, she pulled Mildred and kneeled down on the ground.
