C75 You Have No Right to Interfere.

The entire car was silent.

Lydia was still in a daze. She glanced out of the window and said, "You don't like him, but I don't care what happened between you two. Please don't drag me into this."

She didn't want to get involved in something that shouldn't be.

She only wanted to leave after a year.

Reece frowned when he heard her words.

How could he not know what she was thinking?

He looked out of the window and the atmosphere in the car suddenly changed. It was heavy and distant.

At this moment, the Author behind the car did not grit his teeth like last time.

This time, he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Heh, Reece, it turns out that your weakness is this woman!"

Since he had a weakness, it was easy to deal with.

"Reece, it's time to pay back the debt you owe the Santana family!"

Lydia and Reece went to school separately.

It was already half past noon after the speech.

She had been standing there for more than two hours. Every step she took made her left leg hurt.

When she looked down from the stairs, her limping figure was especially eye-catching.

Reece saw her figure as soon as he landed. He suddenly grabbed the suit jacket on the sofa and turned to walk out.

As if he had thought of something, he stopped and turned to look at the school leader who was stunned behind him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. I have something urgent to deal with. I'll be leaving first. I'll leave all the information about the interns recommended by University of Goulcrest to Manager Loran. In the future, I'll leave this matter to Loran."

"Oh, oh, okay. Mr. Tillman, you can go now."

The man looked apologetic as he left without looking back.

Loran was left in the office in confusion.

What was going on?

Why was there an urgent matter?

He looked at the place where Reece had just stood and saw that Lydia was walking out of the school.

He instantly understood what the 'urgent matter' that his sixth brother was talking about was.

The next second, his heart ached as his mouth twitched.

His sixth brother had really fallen this time!

There was no hope, there was no hope!

After Reece left the classroom, he quickly drove to catch up with the woman.

When he caught up with the woman, he did not stop the car. Instead, he stepped on the accelerator and sped up a few meters. Then, he slowly stopped the car.

Sitting in the car, the man looked at the rearview mirror with his dark eyes. When he saw that the woman had entered the car, he opened the right door with a swish.

Lydia walked into the car. Hearing that, Ava suddenly raised her head. Her watery eyes met the man's deep gaze.

"I'm just about to go home."

Lydia frowned, "Are you done so soon?"

The man nodded and looked ahead. "Get in the car."

Lydia did not doubt his explanation.

She thanked him and sat in the passenger seat.

In order to make her legs feel more comfortable, she adjusted the seat to the right so that she was half lying down.

The two of them didn't talk much on the way back.

"Ah, okay," she replied perfunctorily.

Soon, the two of them returned to the Tillman family.

As soon as she got out of the car, her left leg felt a sharp pain as if it had been stepped on. Her face turned pale and she froze on the spot.

When the man saw this, he strode forward.

His dark eyes were filled with worry. "Does your leg hurt again?"

"It's just a little pain." Lydia pretended to smile relaxedly. She raised her leg and wanted to continue walking forward, but just as she took a step, she felt a pain that made her sweat profusely.

In order not to expose her weakness in front of him, she gritted her teeth and continued walking forward.

Perhaps it was because she was afraid of the pain, but when she landed on her left leg, she closed her eyes tightly.

In the next second, she suddenly leaped into the air.

Feeling that something was wrong, she suddenly opened her eyes and the man's enlarged face was forced into her eyes.

She was shocked. "What... What are you doing? Put me down."

"If your leg hurts so much that it's breaking out in cold sweat, then don't force yourself."

Her stubbornness was exposed, and her face burned.

Indeed, she was forcing herself.

However, she had to force herself!

She didn't want to be a laughing stock!

She didn't want the things that he had been anticipating to become a reality!

She didn't want it!

She lowered her head and bit her lower lip. Her throat was choking with emotions, and she couldn't move up or down.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already entered the living room.

"Reece, you... you're back?"

As soon as the two of them stepped into the living room, they bumped into Josie, who had been waiting for them.

Their eyes met, and she could clearly feel the shock and jealousy in Josie's eyes.

In order to avoid suspicion, she quickly twisted her body and tried to get out of the man's arms.

However, the man had already locked her in place. She looked up in surprise. "Reece?"

"What's the matter?" The man lowered his gaze and looked at her.

Lydia frowned. "... Let me down."

"Your feet hurt so much. Can you still walk up to the second floor?"

The answer was yes.

She couldn't!

Lydia lowered her head and bit her lower lip again.

At this moment, Josie, who had been completely ignored by Reece, heard her and her pale face finally turned a little better.

So it turned out that Reece hugged her because of this.

Phew!

She secretly let out a sigh of relief. Her gloomy heart suddenly felt better.

Josie walked forward with a smile. Her face was filled with worry. "Lydia, are your feet hurting? What's wrong? Are you hurt? Do you need me to take a look and treat you?"

Lydia sneered as she looked at Josie, who was pretending to be worried.

Josie treated her?

He was sure that he had not treated her like he did in his previous life and forced her to leave.

Her face darkened as she rejected her offer. "That's not necessary."

Although Josie could sense that something was wrong with her tone, she thought that it was because Lydia was angry at the Woodward family for scheming against her. Naturally, she did not take it to heart and continued to smile. "Lydia, if you feel unwell, just tell me. I will do my best to help you relieve your pain."

Lydia nodded and looked up at the man above her. "Reece, please send me up."

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Reece was about to raise his leg, Josie grabbed his arm in panic.

Josie blushed as she spoke in a hoarse voice, "Reece, today is my sister's... anniversary."

At this moment, the man still had no change in expression, but Lydia could clearly feel that the man's hand that was hugging her tightened.

She knew that he was listening to her and cared about her!

After all, that was Maria.

Reece's heart was filled with pain!

"Reece, my parents and I are going to the cemetery to pay our respects to our sister. Do you want to come with us?" Seeing that the man had reacted, Josie was overjoyed and quickly threw out her main topic.

The man remained silent.

However, Lydia took the initiative to get out of his arms and said, "Let's chat. I'll go upstairs first."

It was better to get out of his arms than to be chased down by someone else.

Lydia bit her lips and walked up the stairs.

Even though she didn't make it to the second floor this time, her forehead was still drenched in cold sweat. However, she didn't stop at all. She gritted her teeth and climbed up the stairs one by one. She returned to her room.

Pah!

As the door closed, her back was drenched in sweat.

At this moment, her left leg was trembling from the pain. Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

At this moment, downstairs.

Seeing that Lydia had gone up to the second floor, Josie smiled proudly.

She walked forward and reached out to pull Reece's arm. "Reece, are you going?"

In the end, Maria was still Reece's weak spot. He couldn't deny it.

However, he didn't expect that he would forget that it was Maria's birthday today.

A wave of guilt washed over him. When he looked at Josie again, his expression softened a little. "Wait a few minutes, I'll get something."

"Okay, okay. I'll wait for you." Josie nodded with red eyes as she watched the man walk up the stairs.

When the man's back disappeared at the corner, she smiled proudly.

Compared to that dead man, the cripple was nothing!

She had only mentioned the name of the dead man once, but the guilt in Reece's heart was gone. It was enough to prove everything!

Heh!

Lydia, you really are pitiful.

So what if you have proven your innocence?

Didn't you win against the dead man who had already entered the yellow earth?

Josie sat down on the sofa and waited in a relaxed mood.

Meanwhile, Reece entered the second bedroom and pulled open the drawer to take out the star necklace and the last photo of Maria.

He stuffed all these things into his pocket and turned around to walk downstairs.

However, when he passed by her room, he couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

He raised his hand to knock on the door, but after holding it tightly for a few seconds, he let go of it. In the end, he didn't knock on the door and kept it back.

Just as the man was about to leave, something fell to the ground in the room.

Clang!

Then, he heard the woman's muffled groan.

Reece's heart trembled and he pushed the door open and walked in.

Inside the room, Lydia was lying on the ground. She was in so much pain that she curled up into a ball.

Seeing this scene, the man's heart ached. He quickly stepped forward. "Lydia?"

"Don't... Don't touch me." Lydia bit her lips and refused the man's touch. She laid on the ground and slowly calmed down. Then, she clenched her teeth and got up from the ground. "I'm fine. Go and do what you have to do."

Reece glanced at the woman's knee that had already swollen to the size of a steamed bun and frowned.

He bent down and was about to carry the woman, but something in his pocket suddenly slipped.

Just like that, the photo of Maria was placed in front of Lydia. As she looked at the gentle woman in the photo, Lydia's face instantly turned pale, and her body could not help but tremble.

She turned away from the photo of Maria with red eyes. When she saw the star-shaped necklace beside her, she froze for a few seconds.

Then, she picked up the necklace and looked up at the man. "You still have this necklace?"

"... Yes." Although it was just one word, it was so heavy that the man didn't want to say it.

When Lydia heard this, her small face was filled with astonishment, bitterness, self-mockery, and all sorts of other emotions.

"It's time to return it to its rightful owner!" As she spoke, the bitterness in her eyes turned into ice-coldness. She raised her hand and threw the necklace into the trash can.

Seeing that the remains of Maria were thrown away so casually, Reece's expression darkened. A coldness suddenly swept across his face like a twelfth-tier storm.

He frowned. "Bring it back!"

"No!"

"Don't let me say it again. Bring it back!" The man's eyes narrowed, and his eyes were filled with a dangerous aura.

No matter how wronged she had been in the past, Maria had died!

The dead were important, so why would she vent her anger on the remains of the dead?

Reece didn't understand.

As their gazes met, she didn't feel any fear. Instead, she stood up straight and shook her head firmly. "No, I won't! I won't pick it up! This necklace is mine, and I have the right to take care of it!"

"This is my right. You have no right to interfere!"

"Reece, you don't have the right to interfere!"

When he heard the word 'no', the man's gaze suddenly turned cold. However, when he heard the words 'after', Reece was shocked!

He held the hysterical woman’s shoulder and asked in disbelief, “What… what did you say? This necklace, this necklace is… yours?!”
