Chapter 396
Phoebe deflected Georgiaโs slap. She sneered. โOthers praised you for having a good relationship with your husband. Do you really think itโs true?โ
โIsnโt your habit of slapping people developed after slapping your husband too often?โ
She mocked again, โWith a wife like you at home, Ned will never have a good time. Doesnโt it make sense for him to find a gentlewoman to comfort him?โ
โIf you donโt believe me, hire a private investigator. Your husband has a few illegitimate children.โ
Since Georgia liked to be self-righteous, Phoebe would let Georgia see how much of a failure she was. Moreover, Georgiaโs personality was somewhat similar to Lydiaโs; she liked to blame others for everything. With Georgiaโs attitude, Lydia must have said a lot of bad things about her behind her back.
If they found out that Ned had a mistress and a few illegitimate children, Georgia might think this wouldnโt have happened if she hadnโt taken Lydiaโs side. Other than hating Phoebe, she would also vent her anger on Lydia. At that time, Lydia would really become isolated in the Willis family.
In the circle, Ned was famous for doting on his wife. In reality, he was just afraid of her. Georgia had even slapped Ned; when they quarreled, she was even more rude. Previously, Phoebe had heard Lydia complain about this. However, Lydia took Georgiaโs side and felt that men should be taught a lesson like this. Lydia probably wanted to do this to Elliot as well, but Elliotโs personality was too domineering. She had no chance at all.
Georgia could not reach Phoebe, so she glared at her. โYouโre talking nonsense. Youโre deliberately trying to sow discord between us.โ
โHow could my husband go to another woman and have an illegitimate child? Weโre a famous loving couple in the industry.โ
She was actually a little flustered, but she was unwilling to believe it.
Phoebe sneered. โYouโre not famous for being a loving couple, but Ned is a famous coward. Heโs been trampled on by you.โ This was how the ladies in the circle complained about them behind their backs.
When Ned heard this, he couldnโt hold it in anymore. โThatโs enough. This is the hospital. Stop arguing.โ He hated it most when people called him a coward.
It all happened very quickly. Nedโs parents watched the scene unfold in surprise. Firstly, they did not expect Phoebe to be so unyielding and arrogant. Secondly, they did not expect Georgia to be so outrageous. She had mocked Phoebe first; after being rebuked, she actually wanted to slap her.
Tristramโs face darkened. He looked at Georgia and said, โI asked you to visit Cyril today, not to quarrel.โ
โHow dare you say that Phoebe doesnโt respect her elders? Look at yourself.โ
Angela also said, โPhoebe was invited by us. We believe in her. If you really donโt believe me, why donโt you go back?โ She only said this now because she was glad that Phoebe had voiced her thoughts in public.
Phoebe let go of Georgiaโs wrist. Then, Georgia sneered, โWhy should I go back? I donโt believe in venomous parasite worms, and I donโt believe that this was done by Lydia. Iโm going to stay here and watch what other evidence she has.โ She was prepared to go back today and find a private detective to investigate her husband. Then, she would take the results of the investigation to slap Phoebe in the face. She wanted Phoebe to know that they were a loving couple. Although her husband was not successful in his career, he respected and loved her. He didnโt dare to mess around with other women. Georgia felt that she had always been able to control him.
When Ned heard the two of them change the topic, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief. If this continued, he was really afraid that Georgia would investigate. Fortunately, she was used to bullying him, so she was very confident that he did not dare to have a mistress.
Phoebe looked at Tristram and asked, โDo you not believe that, grandson?โ
Tristram nodded. โThatโs right.โ
Phoebe nodded. โAlright, Iโll prove it to you. Since Hughie asked me to help, I naturally have to give them an explanation.โ She took out her phone and opened the group chat. Then, she deliberately wrote a message to Leon in front of Tristram and the others: [Your mother is up to no good again. Why donโt you and your brothers come to the hospital to visit Cyril?] She even gave him the address.
Leon was at home. When he saw Phoebeโs message, he immediately had a headache. He asked: [What did my mother do this time? What does it have to do with Cyril?]
Phoebe did not hide anything. [She was instigated by Sienna and used the master introduced by Sienna to transfer the venomous parasite on her to Cyril.]
Leon: [What kind of trick is this? Weโll be right there.]
This was a big deal. If Lydia did such a thing, it would affect her relationship with the Willis family. He knew that something must have happened to Cyril, which was why the Willis family asked Phoebe to help. With Phoebe, how could his mother and Sienna Jenkins escape? Moreover, this kind of thing could not be hidden forever. Sooner or later, it would be discovered.
If they investigated from the source, they would be able to trace it back to Lydia. Leon shuddered and immediately got up from the bed. After calling Joshua and Jamar, the three of them immediately drove to the hospital.
The Willis family saw Phoebeโs messages. Tristram frowned. โDid Lydia really have a venomous parasite? She didnโt tell us before.โ
Phoebe replied, โYes. Even if she told you, you wouldnโt be able to help in this aspect.โ
โShe didnโt tell you probably because the venomous parasite will cause red spots on her entire face and body. She feels too ashamed to face anyone.โ
These words shocked Cyril. โWhat? Donโt tell me I will have red spots all over my body, too?โ He didnโt want his handsome face to be ruined.
