Chapter 1309


    Nevertheless, Lucy did not respond to their insults. It seemed as if her kneecaps were stuck to the


    ground. She had her head bowed, and her shock of maroon hair that was soaked throughid matted


    against her forehead.


    She had stopped seeing and hearing her surroundings because the anger deep down in her heart was


    the only thing fueling her to live on.


    I am betting my life on this! I am betting that Jordan wouldn’t have the heart to let me die for real!


    Seeing as Lucy refused to answer him, Ryan kicked her suddenly, causing her to topple to the ground.


    She was already at the brink of her limit for the longest time, but she had been enduring it with thest


    breath she had. Now that Ryan had kicked her down, Lucy simply did not have the strength to support


    herself. In the end, she slumped onto the ground, motionless.


    However, Ryan was still unsatisfied, so he approached her to kick her a few more times. “Wake up!


    Stop ying dead. Even if you die, our father will not even pay any attention to you.”


    His rain boot with a thick sole trampled on Lucy’s soft and fragile body; one could almost hear her


    bones cracking and breaking. Nevertheless, Lucy refused to make a sound—maybe she no longer had


    the energy to utter anything.


    Nobody in the Edwards Residence had the courage to say anything while they watched the two of them


    beating Lucy up at the main entrance. In reality, the elders of the Edwards Family were all sitting in the


    living room, and that included Jordan too.


    Therge living room was so quiet one could hear a pin drip, whereas all the elders were gazing at


    each other in speechless despair. The atmosphere was especially depressing, and everybody turned to


    look at Jordan, who had a dark and eerie expression.


    They started having second thoughts ever since Lucy started kneeling at the entrance.


    In all honesty, it wasn’t a huge issue that Lucy was a lesbian because there were plenty of dirty secrets


    within rich and powerful families. Many people posed as characters with high morals on the surface,


    but some men might start fooling around with other men after getting bored with women. When they got


    bored with men, some of them might even get involved with dogs.


    In reality, the Edwards were furious that Lucy had lied to them. They were also angry that she hadn’t


    gotten married for more than a decade because of a woman. Besides, since the embarrassing family


    news had been exposed to the public, they had no choice but to make their stand by chasing Lucy out


    of the house.


    As long as she returned and admitted her mistakes, Lucy just had to get married with a man with the


    right social status to bring benefits to the family. Everything would be okay as long as she stayed as a


    passable Miss Edwards.


    When Lucy was gone for the past two months, the pair of clueless twins wreaked havoc in the Edwards


    Group… They were newbies after all, and so the pair of amateurs just couldn’t handle such arge


    enterprise like Edwards Group.


    At that moment, the Edwards finally recalled Lucy’s achievements. When she was around, she handled


    affairs in a vigorous manner, and she was decisive and swift. In fact, she managed the Edwards


    Family’s matters perfectly, so their business performances were ascending steadily.


    On the other hand, the twins started eliminating people who had different opinions to theirs the moment


    they entered the Edwards Group. They actually arranged for people from the Yard Family to enter the


    company, and they even chased away the core elite members within the Edwards Group.


    Their actions were clearly challenging the limits and patience of the Edwards Group. The Edwards


    wanted the two families to unite, but in reality, they wanted the Edwards Group to take over the Yard


    Group, and so they were naturally wary of thetter.


    Previously, after the initial delight of the four young masters suddenly joining the Edwards Group,


    everybody within the Edwards Family was on high alert. They were afraid that in the end, the Edwards


    wouldn’t swallow the Yard Group whole, but would instead be taken over by thetter.


    Jordan hardly interfered with the administrations of the family businesses. He merely sent a substitute


    to fool outsiders, but nobody knew where he truly went. In the end, he might just quietly watch the Yard


    Family take over the Edwards Family. After all, both forces belonged to him, and he didn’t care about


    his family name. However, this was a big deal for the Edwards Family.


    Therefore, the Edwards needed Lucy to stay on to fight the Yard Group!


    In the end, the most powerful Grand Elder stepped forward to break the silence. “I suggest we wee


    Miss Edwards home. She might have made lots of mistakes, but I can tell that she’s truly remorseful.”


    After the announcement from the Grand Elder, the rest of the elders started voicing out too.


    “Currently, she is a part of the Edwards Group. Therefore, I want to make myself clear—the Edwards


    Group cannot afford to lose Miss Edwards!”


    “The four young masters might be part of the Edwards Group, but we aren’t even sure when they will


    change their surnames. Hence, they can’t be considered as true Edwards.”


    “My wife’s family is also very invested in this matter! They have sent their people over a few times to


    check on Miss Edwards’ situation!”


    The elders were very opinionated, but the younger generation in the Edwards Family had much more


    to say.From N?velDrama.Org.


    Who do the Yards think they are? Who gave them the right to call the shots in the Edwards Group?


    How dare they tantly bring in people from the Yard Family to join important departments within the


    company! The Yards were traitors a hundred years ago, but they are nning to return as kings now!


    For that, the Edwards have paid a lot of money and sacrificed many people! We haven’t even settled


    that score, and so why are we even allowing them to enter the Edwards Group?


    Does the current Edwards Family carry the surname Yard or Edwards? So what if Lucy is a lesbian?


    It’s not an issue as long as she returns to the family and gets married with a man! Who could possibly


    be worse than those twins in regards to being disgusting while corrupting public morals?! They are


    always involved in a hedonistic lifestyle every night, and having threesomes is just part of their routine.


    Furthermore, they enjoy both men and women, but this hasn’t been made public yet!


    Everybody was discussing it earnestly, and the crowd was exceptionally agitated. Nevertheless, they


    expressed amon idea, which was to wee Lucy home!


    However, as the family head, Jordan remained silent, and so nobody dared to actually do anything.


    Suddenly, somebody barged in from outside. The person, who was soaked through, eximed in


    horror, “Bad news! Young Master Henry and Young Master Ryan have beaten Miss Edwards to death,


    and they are about to toss her into the river!”


    Everybody stood up abruptly with a whoosh. Members of the older generation were furious, whereas


    the younger generation, who were livid, charged out without waiting for Jordan’s instructions.


    Jordan let out a long sigh at that moment.


    I should let her return if she survives this. After all, she is my eldest daughter and the only descendent


    of my legal wife.


    At the entrance, the rain had washed off Lucy’s blood; she was soaking wet, covered with rain and


    blood. Holding her by her limbs, Henry’s subordinates were prepared to toss her into the nearby river.


    Lucy was motionless by then. Henry’s subordinates saw Henry and Ryan turning to head back to the


    Edwards Residence, and so they reached out for Lucy’s chest. They seemed as if they were nning


    to take her somewhere to…


    Suddenly, a group of Edwards Family members came charging out like a sudden surge of tidal waves.


    They saw Henry’s subordinates carrying Lucy out, and they were reaching underneath her clothes for


    her chest with their filthy hands.


    “F*ck you!” The Edwards were raging at this point.


    How dare they harm Miss Edwards within the Edwards Family’s territory!


    Therge group charged at them and soon took Lucy away. Amidst the chaos, Henry and Ryan were


    shoved onto the ground before they were trampled all over…


    “Tsk!” Callum clucked his tongue loudly while he watched his younger brothers slumped on the ground.


    The twins have lived up to our ‘affection and love’ from childhood up until now, indeed. They’ve


    inherited Jordan’s arrogance, but they do not have his abilities. They are used to beingwless, as if


    they owned the whole world. Therefore, it is expected that they’ve earned a real beating.


    They arrived barely two months ago, but they’ve seeded in making the entire Edwards Family hate


    them. Besides, the timing is perfect, because somehow, they’d always choose the most critical time to


    make the worst blunder.


    Initially, the next steps involved Cade and I descending from the Heavens, like dazzling angels, to sort


    out the mess that our younger brothers caused. We were supposed to bring the Edwards Family hope


    and love before joining the Edwards Group without a hitch, but Lucy is back now…


    “Mom, when did you arrive?” eximed Cade in surprise.


    Since an unknown point in time, Anna had been standing by the full-length window. She suddenly


    chuckled eerily while watching Lucy being carried away…
