Chapter 961 Take the Baby Away


    "Hello, Lydia. I''m here to help you." Vivian always had a smile on her face, to make her seem


    approachable.


    As Lydia made no reply, Vivian walked right in. She held Lydia''s hand kindly, saying, "As long as


    you make everything clear for Brandon at the press conference, I can triple yourpensation."


    Lydia felt sick for no reason. Maybe Vivian''s pungent perfume had caught in her throat.

    She covered her nose and asked, "Are you from the Larson Group?"


    But since J had only just been there, Lydia had a hunch this woman wasn''t from the Larson


    Group. "Not really. I''m a phnthropist, I try to reach out and help the people in our society who are


    most in need of it. As for why I want this rified for the Larson Group, it was them who established


    the charity I work for." Vivian thought she was making a reasonable exnation. She carried on


    laying out the offer, "If you don''t like it here, I can arrange for you and your baby to live abroad, far


    away from any harassment, where your baby can grow up carefree." Lydia refused mercilessly. "I


    don''t speak any foreignnguages, and I don''t want to live abroad at all. Besides, I''m more than


    capable of working to support myself and my daughter. There''s no need to worry about me."


    Vivian''s mouth turned up in a half smile, but her heart was filled with scorn.


    "Lydia, I don''t think I''m wrong in saying you were a housewife when you were with Jethro, right?


    You don''t know how to do anything else apart from house chores. How can you support yourself


    and a baby?" Vivian stripped away Lydia''s lie.


    She was nothing like Lydia. She could not understand Lydia''s pain at all.


    Lydia trembled with anger. This woman hadn''te to help her after all.


    She looked so arrogant with her delicate makeup, stinking of perfume. Had shee here


    deliberately to make fun of her?


    Lydia looked away and saw herself in the mirror. She looked withered and fat. Her heart ached at


    the sight of herself.


    Lydia held back her tears. She had only just realized how kind J was to her.


    When J visited, she almost didn''t wear any makeup, and she was really nice. She considered


    every word she said to Lydia, making sure she didn''t offend her at all in any way.


    Could Brandon really be such a bad guy if he had a wife like this?


    Lydia hesitated. Maybe J had spoken the truth. Maybe Brandon had nothing to do with Jethro''s


    death.


    "Leave now. I need to rest. I don''t want to talk about it," Lydia said, enunciating every word clearly.


    Then shey down with the baby in her arms and closed her eyes.


    "If it''s about the money, I can pay more. Everything is negotiable. Name your price." Vivian didn''t


    have time to deal with Lydia.


    Before she came here, she had been told that the only reason Lydia didn''t agree with the Larson


    Group was that they hadn''t agreed on a price. Vivian believed as soon as she could offer enough to


    satisfy Lydia, the matter would be resolved.


    "Why do you keep talking about money?! I told you to go. Didn''t you hear me?" Lydia was so angry


    she picked the cup up from the table and threw it at


    Vivian.


    As soon as the cupnded on the ground and shattered, it scared the baby, who began to wail.


    "Hey! No need to be so ungrateful. I came here to help you out of kindness!" Vivian dodged quickly


    and the cup missed her.


    She got angry and said, with disdain, "Don''t you know about the terrible things your husband did?


    He ckmailed others and almost killed someone. Death''s too good for him! Not only do I not


    me you for his actions, but I also want to give you enough money to start a new life. Even if you


    don''t appreciate my generous offer, how could you just shout at me like crazy?"


    "Fuck off!" Lydia was even more furious. She grabbed the bedsidemp, hurling it at Vivian.


    Vivian screamed and made for the door.


    With a face like thunder, she looked at the guards, who had been waiting patiently outside the door


    and, in a quiet voice, said, "Go in and take that woman''s baby."


    With that Vivian left. As she walked down the corridor, she heard a scream from the ward behind


    her, and smiled from her head to her feet with her sess.


    ******


    Right outside the hospital, J didn''t go right back to work. She couldn''t just keep ignoring


    Brandon''s calls. That was no solution. He would still question her when she got home that night.


    She decided to call Brandon back, to figure out if he was mad at her.


    "Hey, honey, what''s up?" J asked cautiously.


    Brandon was tired. He hadn''t slept since the night before, but he immediately sensed something


    was wrong with J when he heard her voice. "Nothing serious. But what about you, why do you


    sound unhappy?"
