Chapter 24 Adultery
Lily barely suppressed her joy and put on a worried face, biting her lip as she went downstairs.
“Lily, what’s wrong with you? You look upset?” Mrs. Taylor noticed her daughter’s strange behavior right away. Bob, who was reading the newspaper, heard the voice and immediately looked over. He asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Mom! Bob!” Lily showed the photos on her phone and said eagerly, “We have to stop her. She already has a marriage to the Browns. How can she still go out with another man?”
“What?” Bob grabbed the phone, and after looking at those photos clearly, he was instantly speechless.
“The Brown family is powerful and influential. If they find out this, our family will going to be done.”
Mrs. Taylor slapped the arm of the sofa and gnashed her teeth, “I shouldn’t have let her go out at noon! I told you she’d be hanging out with the dubious people!” This time, Bob did not refute Mrs. Taylor’s words.
Bob asked Lily, “Lily, do you know where they’re dating?” He stood up and straightened his clothes at the same time. It looked like he was ready to go out and catch someone.
Lily felt happy. She couldn’t wait for this thing to get as worse as possible and immediately said, “I don’t know, but I can ask Henna to text me the address.”
…
After receiving the address, they got into the car aggressively and sped off towards their destination.
On the way, Mrs. Taylor, in the back seat, complained off the reel, “I shouldn’t have picked Laura up in the first place. She just seems to like getting into trouble. Now, something like this has happened. Is she trying to ruin our family?!”
“Mom, don’t say that.” Lily said, “It’s not all my sister’s fault that men and women can’t help themselves when they’re in love.” Mrs. Taylor became even more furious, “We took her back from the countryside with good intentions. Did we let her hook up with men? What a disgrace to our family!”
Bob carefully steered the wheel, not saying a word the whole time. Only the tightly pursed lips showed his strong inner dissatisfaction.
At this moment, several people who were full of resentment seemed to have forgotten that Laura did not beg them to bring her to New York, but they had begged her.
…
Several people finally arrived at the restaurant.
“Lily, there you are! Hurry up! They haven’t left yet!” Henna grabbed Lily’s hand and hurried to the inside. Mrs. Taylor, who was angry and annoyed, walked faster than the others and rushed into the noodle shop first.
The restaurant was not large as well as few people in there. It was easy for Mrs. Taylor found Laura, who was sitting at a table with a man, immediately.
“You, the bitch!” Mrs. Taylor quickly stepped forward, angrily rushed to the table, and raised her hand to slap Laura, “You are a disgrace to our family! How dare you …”
Mrs. Taylor looked incredulously at her wrist, which had been grabbed by the man.
“You, you let go of me.” she struggled to break free.
“Mom! Are you okay?”
“Auntie, are you okay?”
Lily and Henna’s voices rang out in unison, both with anxious faces.
