chapter 169

The Old Madam clenched her fingers into a tight fist as she balled up her anger. This was the first time she felt like raising her hand against someone to slap some sense into her. But that was too undignified for the Old Madam of the Willson family.Lucy put her hand on her waist and faced kathy. "And you! Can you not open your mouth and say that she is wrong? What are you doing just standing here and keeping silent when Uncle is unnecessarily getting humiliated? Don't you care about him?"Kathy froze. The words got stuck in her mouth. If the Old Madam was her future grandmother-in-law, then Elvis was her father-in-law. Even if he had fallen off her graces, she couldn't act as if he meant nothing to her."How could you smear my name like that? Of course, I care about my father-in-law!"Lucy sneered. "Sure. I can see that with the way you are just siding with this 'Old Madam.'"Kathy's face flushed in embarrassment. She didn't dare raise her head to meet Elvis's gaze.Lucy harrumphed and turned to look at Elvis who was staring at her with a dumbfounded expression. In all these years after his wife, nobody had been able to crack an expression on his blank face, not even his own son, Eric.Her gaze softened and her heart ached to see him suffer. She tip-toed on her feet and patted his head. "There there. Don't feel bad, okay? Hmph. Just ignore her words."Elvis froze.Am I being...patted? Consoled?Frank almost spat the water he drank.Lucy Hale...I don't understand if you are brave or plain stupid!The Old Madam took a deep breath as she held in her anger. "I didn't want to stoop to your level and deal with you. But you give me no choice."Elvis narrowed his eyes. He coldly glanced at her. Frank straightened up and he knew that it was time to come out of his hiding. He had to do something before Lucy would get into trouble.Lucy glared at her. "Hah! Let me see what you can do!""How dare you make a commotion here?"She was shocked to see Frank stomping his way towards her. "You! How dare you speak to the Old Madam like that? You deserve punishment!"She was speechless.Huh? You called me here and now I am getting punished? Huhu, what is going on?Frank bowed in front of the Old Madam. "Old Madam. Leave this woman to me. I will take care of her. You don't have to trouble yourself dealing with such a lowly woman.""..."The Old Madam coldly said, "I don't want to see her face in this city.""Of course Old Madam!"He glared at her. "Come with me, you fool! I will show you what it is to mess with the Old Madam!" He grabbed her arm and quickly dragged her away."Hey!"
