The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 161

Claudine Tucker raised her eyebrows and told the two strong men, "Search for it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two strong men took Lily's mobile phone from her pocket.

Lily Adams ran into the bathroom, locked the door, and took a small mobile phone from the box filled with napkins. She smiled smugly. Fortunately, she had planned this. She knew that Claudine would take advantage of Scott's absence to deal with her sooner or later, so she had made the necessary preparations prior. Lily put a spare cell phone in her bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and study room.

She felt distressed over the money she had spent when she bought them, but now they were handy. She thought the money was well spent.

She quickly pressed the first speed dial. She had only 2 phone numbers saved in each of the cell phones. One was Scott's number, and the other was an emergency number. Although she had only seen her father-in-law once on her wedding day, he was a police chief. Even if he didn't like her, he would have to save her in the name of public justice.

"Hello?"

As soon as she heard Scott's voice, Lily lowered her own voice and said in a hurry, "Where are you? Come back quickly. Your mother is here."

Scott was stunned. "What is she doing there?" "Did you have to ask? She obviously came to torture

me.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

The bathroom door was slapped so hard that it sounded like it was thumping. Soon, there was a shout, "Are you done? You're slower than a woman in labour."

She answered with a trembling voice, "I'll be done soon. I have diarrhoea."

She put the phone back to her ear, but the other end had already hung up. Her heart tightened. What did Scott mean? Was he rushing back because he heard that she was in danger, or did he have a lot of faith in her ability to survive, and therefore did not care about her at all?

Bang, bang, bang. The knocking on the door became louder and louder. At this time, there was a man's voice. "If you don't come out, we will break in."

Seeing that she couldn't escape anymore, Lily had no choice but to open the door. As soon as she walked out of the bathroom, two men grabbed her arms rudely.

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

She struggled with all her might. Claudine glared at her coldly. "Just shut up if you don't want to die miserably."

"Madam, what are you doing? I am your daughter-in-law!"

Claudine smiled sarcastically. "Daughter-in-law? I've never admitted to having a daughter- in- law like you!"

"Take her away!"

As soon as she gave the order, the two strong men dragged her away like they were catching a little chick. Lily shouted as loudly as she could, "Help, help!"NôvelDrama.Org © content.

She almost tore her throat from all the yelling, but no hero jumped out to save the damsel in distress. When she was about to get stuffed into a car, suddenly, a silvery- white car stopped in front of Claudine.

Then, Scott got out of the car.

He asked his mother with a gloomy face, "What are you doing?"

Claudine didn't expect him to be back so soon. She answered with twinkling eyes, "Nothing. Just inviting her to my home."

Scott glanced at Lily and asked sarcastically, "Is this how you forward invitations?"

The strong men let go of Lily's arms. Lily rushed to hide behind Scott and said with fear, "You would probably only get to see my dead body if you came any later!"

Claudine raised her chin and said, "She was so wary of me that I had to force her the hard way."

Lily snorted and sneered. She had never been treated the soft way to begin with.

"No matter what your purpose of coming here today is, I have to warn you not to touch my woman, otherwise, don't blame me for not respecting you as my mother anymore." Claudine's eyes widened in shock and she asked incredulously, "Scott, what are you talking about? Are you going to cut off ties with your mother over this woman?"

"I will do it if it's necessary."

With a snap, Claudine slapped her son hard across his face. "B*stard, have you forgotten your mother after marrying this woman? You can't do this to me!"

"I'll treat you the way you treat me. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me whether I have a mother or not. I've been living with my father for so many years and I've gotten used to it."

After saying that, Scott grabbed Lily's hand and turned away angrily.

Entering the door of the apartment, Lily sat on the sofa angrily and rubbed her red and painful wrists where the strong men had pinched her.

Scott sat opposite her, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm sorry."

Lily knew that the apology was made on behalf of his mother. If he was apologizing for himself, she would have forgiven him. However since it was for his mother, she refused to forgive her.

After a while, Scott looked up at her and saw that she was still angry. He asked grumpily, "Are you still angry?"

"Shouldn't I be angry?"

She was clearly annoyed.

"Yes, but I've already apologized." "Your apology is useless. The person who should say sorry to me is your mother."

"Do you want my mother to apologize to you?"

Lily glanced at him and said, "I wouldn't dare to."

"Well, don't be angry. They did not harm you. You don't have to be angry."

"That's because you came back in time. What if you didn't come back?"

Lily raised her eyebrows in grievance, but when she thought about it, she felt strange. "Why did you come back so soon?"

Scott sighed. "Even if you didn't call me, I was already rushing home anyway. I'm going to attend an academic meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon, so I needed some documents."

"It's just my luck then. Fortunately you came back in time today, but I don't know what kind of suffering I might face next time."

"No, I've warned my mother not to hurt you. You should be safe for now."

"For now? Fla, looks like I won't be able to escape forever."

Scott stared at her angry face and asked playfully, "What? Do you regret it?"

"The reason I agreed to marry you was because Yasmine gave me hope. When she married Sebastian, he didn't like her either, but she was cherished by her parents- in- law. But what about me? It's fine that you don't like me. But now, even your mother doesn't like me. No one likes me here. Wouldn't it be strange if I don't regret it?" Scott giggled, stood up, and said, "Go get changed, I'll treat you to a good meal to make it up to you."

Lily blinked her eyes blankly and said, "Really?" Didn't you just say that you are going to attend an academic meeting?

Scott did not look back, but he raised three fingers. As he walked out of the door, he reminded her, "I'll only wait for three minutes and not a second longer."

Lily went from sad to happy. With a delighted smile at the corner of her mouth, she ran into the bedroom to get changed.

After returning to the company from her son's residence, Claudine was mystified. When she thought of her son threatening to cut off their ties, she felt extremely angry. She pushed all the things on her desk onto the ground.

Coincidentally, Abigail Tanner was there to look for her.

As soon as Abigail entered Claudine's office and saw the mess on the floor, she asked nervously, "Claudine? What's the matter?"

"It's all because of my unfilial son."

Claudine gasped angrily.

Abigail walked to her side and quickly raised her hand to massage Claudine's back. Abigail said kindly, "I was just wondering who had the audacity to provoke you. So it's Scott. Why be angry with your own son? Don't be angry. Be careful not to hurt your body."

"Not only did he marry a woman I hate very much, but he also threatened to break off his ties with me in front of that woman."

Abigail smiled and said, "You're the only one who would believe in his words. He was just trying to scare you. Do you really think he would cut off your ties for that woman?"

Claudine sighed and said sadly, "I left him and went to France when he was eight. He still blames me for that."

"Even if you left him when he was young, he would still think of you as his mother. The fact that you carried him for 9 months and gave birth to him is undeniable. What's more, you are his biological mother."

Claudine's worried heart relaxed a little when she heard that. She held Abigail's hand and said, "Thank you, Abigail. I would rather he had married you than that woman. At least I won't feel so troubled."

Abigail bit her lip and said, "Claudine, I like Sebastian. You know that."

Claudine nodded. "Of course I know that. Otherwise,

I would have asked you to be my daughter-in-law."

This was the reason Abigail was there to see her that day. Abigail took a deep breath and said, "Claudine, actually, I came here because of this. I know that you wanted to separate Yasmine and Sebastian because you wanted Yasmine to marry your son. Now that Scott has married someone else and your plan was foiled, will you help me get my beloved one?"

Claudine smiled at her warmly and said, "Of course. Scott is my son and you are my goddaughter. I will treat my son and daughter equally."

Abigail was very happy when she heard this. "How do you plan to help me?"

"I'll introduce a person to you tomorrow. If you work with him, you might be able to achieve your common goal."

"Who is it?"

"You'll know when you meet him tomorrow."

Claudine didn't tell her, so Abigail didn't push anymore. In fact, Claudine wanted to take advantage of the situation.

The next day, in the Rive Gauche Cafe, Abigail met the person her godmother had wanted to introduce to her. It was none other than the despicable rich man, Richie Lind.

"Miss Tanner, right?"

Richie sat down and his voice was solemn.

Abigail was stunned. "Yes, and you are?"

"I'm Richie Lind."

Abigail thought quickly and asked with uncertainty, "Are you Richie Lind, the businessman who bought Yasmine Taylor over so that she'd become your daughter-in-law?"

Abigail knew about it from the news some time ago.

"Yes."

Richie said frankly.

Abigail smiled. This way, she was sure that the person in front of her had the same goals that she "Since you were introduced by my godmother, I don't think there's a need to hide anything. Let's go straight to the point."

Richie nodded. "Okay."

He looked around and said, "Yasmine is an ungrateful woman. I helped her during her most difficult time, and yet, she turned against me when she became an adult. No matter what, I will not let her off so easily."

"You want her to marry your son, don't you?"

"I don't expect that anymore, but even if my son can't get her, I won't let her go so easily. My son has deep affections for her, and I want her to experience the pain of losing a lover."
