Chapter 48: Look Forward To Seeing Her
Chapter 48: Look Forward To Seeing Her
"Zac, can you please inform my sister that her demeanor is unbecoming? If she keeps behaving in this manner, others will surely laugh at her!"
Lyndsy was unrelenting.
She approached Zac once again and tried to grab hold of his arm.
Zac, noticing this, moved his arms behind his back and dodged Lyndsy’s hand as she was about to touch him.
"This is a matter concerning the Sampson family. It has nothing to do with me!" said Zac coldly.
Lily's anger towards Zac fizzled when she heard his response.
For once, he had given an appropriate response to something being said.
Patricia, on the other hand, felt disgusted by Zac's unkind remarks.
Putting down her knife and fork, Patricia took a sip of her drink and glanced in Lily's direction.
"Lily, why aren't you eating? Can watching such a ridiculous person fill your empty stomach?"
Patricia's words annoyed Lyndsy, as expected.
"Patricia, who are you talking about?"
Lyndsy asked angrily after taking a step forward.
"I'm referring to whoever responds to my words!"
Patricia said in a cold voice.Putting down her juice, she picked up her utensils and continued eating.
"You!"
Lyndsy shouted in a fit of rage.
She wanted to criticize her more, but Patricia interrupted her.
"Lyndsy, as your sister, I should tell you that when you find faults in others, they themselves will find faults in you! You have to remember this simple truth.Otherwise, people will say that you are foolish!"
Patricia deliberately stated this while giving Lyndsy a meaningful look.
Even though it was just a quick glance in Lyndsy's direction, it was enough to hint about Patricia's intelligence and character.
After saying that, Patricia returned to consuming her meal.
This time, however, she was chomping pretty hard on the steak.
Sneaking a glance at Zac's leg, she substituted the beef and juice for his leg and blood.
Only by thinking in this way could she vent her pent-up anger.
During this whole ordeal, Zac's eyes were fixed on Patricia.
Today, Lyndsy had come to the Reynolds Group seeking out Zac.
She wanted him to see the damage that was done to her forehead.
At the sight of this, Zac had immediately thought of Patricia, and a tender look appeared on his face.
Believing that Zac was feeling compassion toward her, Lyndsy had taken the opportunity to ask him to go out with her.
Zac, unable to dissuade her, followed her out.
Unconsciously, he had driven to the Veyron Corp..
When he saw Patricia in the restaurant near the company, he became thrilled.
He didn't realize how much he was looking forward to seeing her again.
"Lily, hurry up! We have to head back after we finish eating!" said Patricia beaming and pointing to the uneaten steak in front of Lily.
"Alright! Alright!" Lily, focusing on her dish, started to slice the steak awkwardly.
This was, after all, her first time dining at a western restaurant.
"Hey, Patricia.Why did you make friends with such a bumpkin? She looks so ridiculous that it's easy to tell this is her first time eating western food! She's just a poor guy, pretending to be rich.How laughable!"
Noticing that she couldn't get the upper hand while arguing with Patricia, Lyndsy switched her target to Lily. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
It was evident that the relationship between Lily and Patricia went beyond that of the workplace.
And since she couldn't humiliate Patricia, she aimed for an easier target, Lily.
Basically, as long as she could make her feel bad, Patricia would become vexed.
"But you..."
Upon hearing Lyndsy’'s comment, Lily's hands began to tremble and her eyes turned a bright shade of red.
Unable to defend herself, all Lily could do was look at Lyndsy, embarrassment plastered over her face.
"Lyndsy, you've gone too far! The affairs of others are no business of your own.You have no right to judge anyone.Not when you don't even have a job! At least Lily supports herself through her own abilities.You, on the other hand, are surviving off your family's wealth."
To appear more intimidating, Patricia stood up as she angrily glared at Lyndsy.
Lyndsy wasn't the only one that could be sarcastic! And she was actually better at dropping sarcastic lines than Lyndsy.
That said, Patricia would never let anyone bully her friend! In the past, Lyndsy often bullied Patricia.
But she couldn't bear it now that Lyndsy was trying to humiliate Lily.
Lily was a hardworking woman who managed to support her family all on her own.
She was an admirable individual, so people who didn't know her story had no right to give their two cents or speak nonsense about her! "You're saying I live off my family? What are you implying?"
Lyndsy's face turned red as a beetroot.
She tried her best to keep her small eyes wide open while staring at Patricia.
"Don't deny it.You know very well who it is that's constantly dependent on the Sampson family,"
Patricia uttered bluntly, wearing a sardonic smile on her face.
"Patricia, I know you want to push the blame on me.But you wouldn't have a chance to do that!"
All of a sudden, Lyndsy stopped her livid ranting.
Instead, she looked at Patricia with a complacent expression on her face.
"Ha-ha, you are so shameless.Really, what is the difference between you and a parasite? Lyndsy, I can't help admiring your brazenness."
Patricia spoke, with a trace of cynicism in her voice and a look of admiration on her face, making her look weird.
It almost looked like she was trying to laugh at Lyndsy in an unkind way.
"Patricia, if I'm a parasite, then what are you? Don't forget that you are also a member of the Sampson family!"
Lyndsy, turning her head, realized that everyone in the restaurant had their eyes on them.
This was so embarrassing.
"We may all be members of the Sampson household, but I am different from you! I've been independent for so many years now, but you haven't.You're just a parasite.A good for nothing!"
In this situation, Patricia didn't mind retaliating more.
Moreover, she was enjoying putting Lyndsy in her place in front of Zac.
This would also help her save face.
She wanted to let Zac know that she was not a pushover! And that she would protect the people closest to her at all costs.She would never let them be hurt!
"You don't want to go back to the Sampson family, do you? Just wait and see.I'll tell father what happened today.You will definitely be scolded!"
Desperate to win this one-sided argument, Lyndsy mentioned Sullivan's name to rattle Patricia's bones.
But she made the wrong move.
As it stood, Patricia wasn't easily upset or worried by as much things as she'd been in the past.
Moreover, since she terminated her baby, she'd become more strong-minded and courageous.
So, she wasn't terrified of Sullivan or Lyndsy anymore.
"Lyndsy, if you want to tell him about this, then just do it! After all, this isn't your first time reporting back, and I remember that you were good at telling tall tales.But you mustn't quarrel with others from now on.Otherwise, you would be putting yourself in an awkward situation if you always mention your parents when you can't beat the other person in an argument!"
Patricia sneered relentlessly, "Telling your family you are being bullied is what children in kindergarten do! I didn't expect you to be so weak!"
After saying that, Patricia proceeded to finish eating her steak, completely ignoring the two persons standing beside her.
And though the Sampson family was not the top family in the city, it was still one of the prominent families around.
Of course, Patricia was already widely known.
Because of her and Zac's marriage, she had hit the headlines many a time.As for Lyndsy, many people knew of her from before.But now, she had been on the headlines several times because of her relationship with Zac.
