Sophia then walked past Lilin and her mother.
Lilin’s mother did not know what to do about Sophia’s attitude toward her, but that did not mean she could not
teach her own
daughter. She bent down to her eye level and patiently said to her, “Lilin, what’s the matter with you today? Why
were you so
rude to Sophia? You should’ve welcomed her back with open arms.”
“But Mommy, she called you a homewrecker!” whined Lilin. “Why do I have to treat her with respect when she
doesn’t treat you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith respect?”
Lilin’s mother was speechless.
She heard what Sophia called her too, but she pretended not to because she did not want to start a fight with
Sophia, the
daughter of Adam and his ex-wife.
Understanding Lilin’s feelings, she did not say anything more. Instead, she led Lilin to find Adam.
The two of them came to the pond and saw Adam ordering his men to do something with a stern expression on his
face.
Lilin’s mother knew her husband very well. She only needed to take one look at his expression to know that he had
murder in his
mind, which she did not like him to do, especially at his age.

Adam’s previously murderous expression morphed into one of gentleness when he saw his wife and little daughter.
“Oh, nothing. I just asked them to look into someone.”
Lilin’s mother frowned. Wanting to get to the bottom of it, she asked again, “Why would you suddenly want to look
into

Adam did not dare to lie to his wife as he worried she would mistakenly think he was fooling around with other
women outside.
Thus, he smiled sincerely and said, “Don’t get me wrong, Mel. I just want to know more about the girl who stole
Jeremy from
Sophia. That’s all.” The woman’s name was Melinda—which meant beautiful and sweet—Vander. Melinda’s brow
remained knitted at her husband’s explanation. “So why are you looking into her? Are you going to get rid of her for
Sophia?” She understood her husband well; she knew he was going to get rid of any obstacles in Sophia’s way
despite her disapproval. “Well, I don’t have a choice, do I? She’s my daughter after all, and she doesn’t want any
other guy except for Jeremy. Who’s going to help her if not for her own father?” said Adam.
