C78 Let's Start Over.

Mildred was completely dumbfounded by the man's cold back.

Reece's meaning was clear. He wanted to...

The Woodward family would no longer exist in the Goulcrest!

Uh...

Mildred clutched her left chest as she fell to the ground with a pale face. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness and panic. "No... No, you can't do this! Reece, you can't do this!"

The Woodward family was her lifelong dream!

"No?" The man paused for a moment and turned to look at Mildred with a cold gaze. He raised his eyebrows. "Yes, you're right. You can't do this!"

"The only reason the Woodward family changed their name was because I wanted to collect some interest in advance!"

When Mildred heard the man's words, she thought that he had changed his mind. However, when she heard the last sentence, her mind buzzed.

If this was just interest, then what else could he want?

As if she had thought of something, her face turned ashen.

She grabbed Josie's hand and said, "Josie, you have to save the Woodward family! You have to save the Woodward family!"

Josie hesitated for a few seconds before she quickly chased after her. Her eyes were red as she grabbed the man's arm. "Reece, do you believe this girl just because of a video? Do you want to destroy the Woodward family?"

"Reece, you can't even find the surveillance footage of what happened back then. What ability does this doctor have to get the video?"

"Also, why didn't she take it out a year ago when she had the surveillance video? Why did she take it out now? Brother Reece, there are too many suspicious points in this woman and this video. Give me some time to investigate it."

"…" The man turned to look at Josie and remained silent.

His silence made Josie think that he had heard her words. Her eyes were filled with joy. "Brother Reece, don't worry. I will give you a satisfactory answer."

The next second, the man pushed her away.

Josie frowned in shock as she looked at the man's handsome face. "Brother Reece?"

"I believe her!"

The words that came out of the man's mouth made Josie unable to accept it. Tears fell from her eyes. "Because of a fake doctor who came out of nowhere, you don't believe in my love for you, don't believe in the Woodward family?"

Reece ignored Josie's question and walked out of the door coldly.

"You should have asked your parents about your question! Ask them what method they used to force Doctor Miao to not hand over the video!"

After the man left the Woodward family, the living room became a mess.

Mildred got up from the ground and raised her hand to slap Doctor Miao. "You slut! You are like your mother! You are my nemesis!"

A strong wind came from above. The girl grabbed Mildred's wrist with her bare hands and forced her to stop in midair.

Unable to move her hand, Mildred clenched her teeth in frustration.

" Mildred, you are the one who is despicable! You stole the man of your best friend, you instigated Willian to abandon my mother, and now, you instigated your daughter to snatch the heart of her best friend, Lydia. You are so wicked! "

"You..."

"Mildred, in order to hide the truth, and to prevent your two daughters from fighting over the family property, you actually wanted to kill me. You pushed me down the stairs and caused me to fall unconscious! I only woke up three months ago!"

Thinking back to what happened back then, Mildred clenched her fists tightly. Mildred's heart was filled with pain.

Mildred's heart skipped a beat when she thought about what happened back then. However, she quickly regained her composure and struggled to pull her hand back. "You said I pushed you. Where's your evidence? Speak up with evidence!"

"You..." Mildred did not have any evidence, but there were only the two of them in the corridor back then. Could it be that it was a ghost?

Although Mildred was angry at Mildred for not admitting it, she was not surprised.

She smiled coldly. "I don't have any evidence, but... I will avenge you!"

"Mildred, you must have dreamt that I copied a copy of the surveillance video from the surveillance camera a step ahead of you, right?"

Hearing Mildred's words, Mildred's eyes widened.

So, this bitch had copied it in advance. No wonder, no wonder there was a surveillance video.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Miao Mo shook her head coldly. "The Woodward family owes me and my mother. This time, I will take revenge for them with the help of Reece!"

...

At this moment, in the car.

Reece was sitting in his seat, and he took a deep breath from the cigarette in his hand.

He lowered his head to look at the star-shaped necklace in his hand. His mind was filled with the words that he had heard from Ava in the video. It was as if those words were being repeated over and over again.

"You are my life!"

"You are my life!"

Every time he heard those words, his heart would ache once again.

This was the first time he had experienced pain that he could not breathe.

Reece held the necklace tightly in his hand and closed his eyes as he leaned against the seat.

"Mr. Tillman, we are home."

After the car stopped, the driver's voice sounded in his ears.

The man on the back of the car rubbed his forehead and looked at a certain room in the Tillman family's villa. A deep sense of guilt and remorse surged up from his eyes.

"Sixth Bro, aren't you going to get off the car?" Seeing his troubled expression, Loran asked in a low voice.

The man forcefully retracted his gaze from her room. His long fingers pinched his nose in annoyance. "Drive!"

The driver was speechless. Didn't Mr. Tillman say that he wanted to go home?

Loran asked, "Sixth Bro, where are you going?"

"The bar."

The man said that and leaned back in his seat with an ugly expression.

This was the first time Loran had seen his Sixth Bro so agitated. He couldn't help but look into the villa. In fact, he had already guessed why Sixth Bro was so troubled.

"Ugh!"

Who would've thought that it was actually Lydia who had been protecting his brother all those years ago?

It must have been a very complicated feeling for his brother.

Since his brother was in a bad mood, of course, he would accompany him.

The two of them left the Tillman family and went straight to the bar.

Sitting at the bar counter, Reece stared straight ahead as if he was looking at something, but at the same time, it was as if he wasn't looking at anything. He drank glass after glass of red wine.

"Pour!"

Seeing this, Loran poured a glass for him.

The man raised his neck and swallowed the wine in the blink of an eye.

"Pour more!"

"Sixth Bro, this is not drinking. This is drinking!" He drank glass after glass, trying to make himself drunk.

The man frowned and looked at the disobedient Loran coldly. "I told you to pour!"

"No... No, you already drank a bottle." If he continued drinking like this, he would definitely vomit blood.

"What? What did I say?" The man looked at Loran with narrowed eyes. His eyes were filled with anger. "I told you to pour!"

Loran's body suddenly tensed up.

At this moment, his hand that was holding the bottle was trembling, but he refused to let go. "Sixth Bro, I'm drowning in my own worries."

"... Did I?" Reece paused and chuckled.

"Yes!" He really did!

Hearing this, the man paused and snatched the bottle from her. He then blew the remaining half of the bottle into his mouth.

He felt his heart ache!

His heart ached so much that he couldn't bear it!

That night, Reece himself didn't know how many bottles of wine he had drunk.

For so many years, he had been a man of self-discipline, but he had actually gotten drunk.

Furthermore, he had drunk so much that he was in a bad shape.

When he returned home, his stomach and throat were burning with the alcohol. He reached out to pull his tie and threw it aside. He then walked towards the room where Lydia was.

Pah!

The door opened and he heard footsteps behind him. Lydia, who was lying on the floor, opened her eyes.

She turned around and saw the man walking towards her. She then laid back down and turned her back to the man.

With a strong smell of alcohol, she was immediately pulled into a burning chest.

Lydia's body immediately stopped moving. Her nerves tightened. "Reece... Reece, let me go!"

"..."

"Reece?!"

Seeing that the man didn't respond, she was so angry that she was depressed!

In her anger, she hit the man's abdomen with her elbow. "Let me go!"

"..."

The man behind her still didn't respond. Lydia couldn't help but frown.

She laid down and glanced at the man behind her.

Under the moonlight, the man's eyes were closed. His breathing was steady and long.

He was asleep?

This man had actually drunk, and he was so drunk that he was drunk. This was really strange.

She couldn't be bothered to argue with a drunk man, so she moved her body to escape from his embrace.

In the next second, her waist tightened, and she was once again in his arms.

"Why didn't you tell me that back then? Were you the one who was guarding my ward?"

Her voice was so low that it sounded like a heavy drum beating against her heart. Her heart trembled and she froze on the spot.

'Why?'

She thought that it was probably because she wanted to be strong.

She couldn't use her morality to kidnap his heart.

Although she knew in her heart, she didn't explain it to him.

Lydia's expression darkened as she turned her back to the man. "Mr. Tillman, you're drunk. Let go!"

"..." The man behind her fell silent again.

This silence made her expression even uglier. She twisted her body again, wanting to escape from this situation where she was being restrained.

However, not only was she unable to move, she was forcefully pulled over by him.

"Lydia!"

The drunk man closed his eyes and called her name again.

Under the bright moonlight, she looked at the man who was numb to the alcohol. She frowned. "What are you doing?"

"I'm sorry."

Suddenly, three words floated out of the man's thin lips. She was stunned on the spot.

Before she could react, the man's lips that were filled with the smell of alcohol sealed it. "Let's start over."

What?

Start over?

Lydia's eyes widened in shock. Her mind went blank as she stared at the man in front of her.

But soon, her eyes were covered with a layer of black mist.

She bit on his lips. "Are you really drunk?"

A wave of bitterness rushed into her throat. She could feel his body stiffening.

She released him and kicked him away.

The man slammed into the corner of the bed.

He was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. Only then did he realize how ridiculous his actions were.

He frowned at her. "I'm sorry, I..."

"You're awake?"

Before the man could finish his sentence, Lydia interrupted him.

She looked down at the man on the ground and pointed at the door. "If you're awake, get the hell out of here!"
