Chapter 137 You‘re Also Turning Bad Seeing the little lady crying like this, Mrs. Zora hurried forward and urged, “Madam, the little lady‘s condition has been acting up these two days. She was also beaten by Miss Fuller, and her condition has just improved. She‘s still unstable, don‘t scare her.”

Mrs. Zora had spent the night thinking about it and could guess who had laid hands on the little lady.

Now, in order to persuade the madam, she bit the bullet and voiced her guess.

Melody, however, was unconvinced.

“Wendy already told me about this. Estie was being disobedient, so Wendy just taught her a lesson in haste. She has already apologized to me. As for Estelle, Wendy will be her stepmother in the future.

Estelle, you can‘t be so mischievous.”

Hearing what the madam said, Mrs. Zora could say nothing more. She just looked at Estie with a hurt gaze. The little one had just come out of her own world, and now, she was crying like this. Mrs. Zora was afraid that she would regress to how she was yesterday.

Hearing their conversation, Lucian and Nox had also guessed that this was Estie‘s grandmother, but they did not care about who she was. They immediately retorted, “Estie wasn‘t being bad! It was wrong for that bad lady to strike a child! Why do you believe an outsider‘s words when they said that they were just teaching Estie a lesson? Don‘t you feel sad that she was beaten up like this? If my mommy hadn‘t taken good care of her, Estie wouldn‘t even be okay now!”

Melody was not happy to be told how to do things by the two children. “What do you know? Don‘t interrupt in adult matters!”

With that, she grabbed Estie‘s arm again. “Look at their family. They‘re not educated at all. If you stay with them any longer, you‘ll only be badly influenced. Come back with me now!”

Estie stood where she was, her arm hurting from being yanked. Her tears were rolling down non–stop, and her eyes were full of resistance.

Rosalie did not want to meddle in matters concerning Estie anymore after the previous conversation, but seeing the little one crying like this, she could not help but recall how she had looked the day before. Eyebrows furrowed, she said, “Mrs. Lawrence, I heard that you usually adore Estie very much.

Is this how you adore her? Estie is crying so badly, yet you‘re not willing to listen to her wish?” Melody side–eyed her.

“Who knows what kind of drug you gave my granddaughter?!” While the group was deadlocked, the doorbell rang again. Lucian knew that at this time, it must be their daddy who had come. He immediately ran to open the door. Byron was stunned for a bit when he saw the little guy at the door.

He then noticed that the expression on his face seemed to be a little angry. Looking up, he saw that his mother was in the living room, grabbing Estie‘s arm forcefully while Estie was crying with a heaving chest.

Seeing this, Byron frowned slightly. He strode in, reached his hand out, and broke his mother‘s grasp.

“What are you doing?” Melody‘s expression chilled even more. “If I hadn‘t come, my granddaughter would‘ve become someone else‘s.”

With that, she glanced at her son, disgruntled. He did not even inform a word to her about such a huge matter that was leaving her granddaughter in the care of someone else. Not to mention, the person was Rosalie Jacobs! Hearing this, Byron glanced over at Rosalie. Rosalie‘s expression was indifferent.

The atmosphere in the living room was somewhat rigid.

Seeing this, Byron looked at his mother again and said in a deep voice, “Let‘s talk.” With that, he turned and left out the villa door. Melody looked at her son‘s back suspiciously. After hesitating for a few seconds, she followed him out.

The moment she was out the door, she immediately expressed her stand. “Let me say this first. I don‘t care what you‘re going to say to me today, I‘m definitely leaving with Estelle today!”
