Chapter 388

When the other three heard this, they understood the key point. “Yes, Mom, we’ll listen to you, okay?” They all wanted to complain to Elliot later.

Leon added, “You will be just like Ophelia from now on. Just like her, you boss around your real daughter and make…”

Lydia’s expression finally relaxed when she heard the four of them compromise. However, when she heard the last two sentences, she was angered again. “Bautard! Leon, get lost. When your father gets back, I’ll ask him to teach you a lesson.” She felt that Leon was indeed the worst among her sons.

When Leon heard this, his originally bitter face immediately revealed a smile. He even mocked her by acting pretentiously and saying, “Thank you, madam!” Without waiting for her to speak, he immediately stood up and slipped away. When the other brothers saw this, they felt envious.

Lydia knew her sons well. She said with a dark expression, “All three of you, shut up. We haven’t finished eating. No one is allowed to leave.” She then instructed the butler, “Go and get another set of silverware for Miss Jenkins.”

Sienna threw a smug and provocative look at her three brothers while Lydia looked away. She realized that as long as Lydia protected her, her brothers could do nothing to her. Moreover, she had deliberately dressed herself to look disheveled and haggard. She had even pretended to be pitiful to them just now. However, it could no longer arouse their pity and love.

Sienna understood that it was useless to pretend to be obedient with them. She decided to act however she wanted from then on. That way, she felt that they might learn to submit to her again. After all, that was how they treated Phoebe. Hence, she was prepared to do the same.

Then, she looked at Lydia with a touched expression. “No wonder people say that Mommy is the best. I’m indeed hungry after rushing all the way back. Mommy, you are the best.” It had been a long time since anybody had said such sweet words to Lydia.

She smiled warmly and said, “Then eat up. I’ll get the kitchen to make your favorite dishes tonight.” Sienna nodded obediently. “Okay, thank you, Mom!”

Seeing Sienna’s smug and provocative gaze, Joshua and the other two’s faces darkened. Sure enough, Sienna was pretending. Seeing that they didn’t buy it, she revealed her true nature. Unfortunately, Lydia couldn’t see through it. The three of them were envious of Leon, who could run away, as they buried their heads in their food.

On the other side, Leon, who had slipped out, immediately called Elliot. After Elliot heard this, his face darkened, mixed with helplessness. Not to mention his sons, even he was afraid of Lydia recently. He knew that directly objecting might agitate her again. He told Leon and the others to stay at home and keep an eye on her until he returned.

Leon immediately felt upset. Elliot had to visit several countries on this business trip and would only be back after more than half a month. Therefore, they still had to put up with Sienna for more than half a month. Just thinking about it gave them a headache. After hanging up, he did not return home. Instead, he called Reece Hill and Frank Harvey respectively, and asked them out for a drink.

Recce had suffered from Ophelia’s pestering a lot recently. After receiving Leon’s call, he found an excuse to slip away without hesitation. Frank was pestered by Edith Knapp and agreed without hesitation. The three of them gathered together and complained to each other.

After Frank heard from Reece and Leon what had happened recently, his heart tightened, and he could not help but say, “There’s something wrong with Edith recently. She keeps trying to get into my bed and creates all kinds of opportunities to have physical contact with me. Could it be that the person behind her wants to attack me?”

Leon raised his eyebrows at him. “Frank, you’re quite lucky! Did you accept it?” Frank rolled his eyes at him. “I can’t afford it.” He had his heart set on Brenda Hill. There was no way he would end up with Edith. Moreover, she would absorb his luck at any time. He couldn’t bear to be with her.

He then said meaningfully to Leon, “Sienna is back, so good days are coming for you.” Leon’s originally teasing face instantly darkened. “Let’s not talk about that troublemaker.” At the mention of Sienna, his mood was terrible. Seeing the two of them like this, Reece could not feel happy.

Although his situation was not similar to theirs, he had a mother who was a big troublemaker. Recently, she had been pestering him to save his two cousins with money. She even wanted him to help the Lyons family by giving them money. If he didn’t agree, she would stare at him all day. He was tired of living like this. Now that his father and brother were not around, he had suffered too much.

He said to Frank, “Why don’t you ask Phoebe?” Frank thought for a moment. “That’s fine. I can only trust Phoebe in these aspects now.” Reece said, “Just trust Phoebe with all your heart.” Leon said, “Yes, you’re the smartest.”

He sighed and said, “Finnian and I were at a disadvantage because we didn’t believe Phoebe in the past.” Reece pushed him angrily. “Get lost. Don’t bring me into this.” He did not doubt Phoebe. He had just done something wrong.

Frank sent a message to Phoebe in the group chat and asked her for help. Phoebe told him to continue obse/50; he had to wear the emerald necklace. If anything went wrong, he should look for her immediately. With Phoebe’s words, Frank was relieved. The three of them drank and complained about their lives.

In the next few days, Sienna did not cause any trouble. She acted obedient and sensible and stayed by Lydia’s side every day. She did not take the initiative to deal with Leon and the others. The sachet worn by Lydia could not suppress the venomous parasite worms anymore. Every day, the red spots on his face and body increased, and the pain and itchiness deepened. Lydia was getting more and more devastated.

One day, after Lydia’s itchiness wore off, Sienna said with a pained expression, “Mom, I know a man who should be able to help you.” Lydia looked at Sienna weakly. After hearing that, her eyes lit up. “Really? He can help me get rid of the venomous parasite worms in my body?”

Sienna said, “I have asked. He can’t help you get rid of the venomous parasite worms.” When Lydia began to feel disappointed, she changed the topic and said, “But he said that he can help you transfer the venomous parasite worms in your body. Find someone who is related to you by blood and has the same attribute as you, and we can transfer it to them. As long as they’re related to you by blood, it’s fine. It doesn’t have to be close.”

She did not lie to Lydia. This way, not only would she receive Lydia’s gratitude and trust, but she could also set Phoebe up.
