Chapter 16


    However, Steve continued.


    “Mr. Smith has talked to me about it several times. Since you came back, you’re still engaged to


    Ryan. You should meet up sometime. What do you think?


    “Of c


    course, if you didn’t have an ident at that time, you would have married him.”


    Hearing this, Mnie suddenly felt relieved.


    She looked at Steve’s sly expression and couldn’t help sneering.


    “If I remember correctly, you got Vanessa engaged to the Smith family!”


    Steve rubbed his nose awkwardly.


    “I admit that it’s all my fault, but since Vanessa and William love each other, they won’t stop you


    from marrying Ryan.”


    “What do you mean? Am I gonna get what Vanessa doesn’t want?”


    Mnie sneered.


    “I heard that Ryan went out on a midnight joyride a couple of years ago and ended up with a broken


    leg in an ident. Do you want me to marry a cripple?”


    “That’s too harsh, M. Despite Ryan’s leg, the Smith family is well–respected in Beloris.


    “You’ll be the hostess of their family once you marry him, and you’ll live a luxury life from then

    on!”


    Mnie held back the disgust in her heart.


    “You’re one of the most famous collectors in Beloris, aren’t you? You should have far more wealth


    than the Smith family has.”


    “You’re wrong, M. The market has been going down these years.”


    Steve suddenly paused and got back to his purpose here.


    “Forget about the industry. Let’s talk about your engagement with the Smith family.”


    “Well, it seems that you’re determined to make me marry a cripple.”


    “The Smith doesn’t mind about/your eyes. What else do you want, M? Just hold the engagement


    party as soon as possible if you’re okay with that. How about doing it at the end of this year?”


    “The blind and theme, huh? What a perfect n!


    Mnie sneered.


    “You know what, I’m not going to do that. Do I have to remind you that we’re not a family.

    anymore?”


    Steve got anxious at once after hearing Mnie’s refusal.


    “Are you still mad at Vanessa,


    you? You should move on, You’re mad that she didn’t call the police to save you, aren’t


    you? You should move on, M. Anyway, you came back safe and sound in the end.”


    “Move on?”


    Mnie stood up abruptly.


    “She set me up, and you told me to move on!”


    “Vanessa is pregnant, M. You’re the only one who can help her!”


    Steve looked anxious.


    “That’s hrious. I’m not an obstetrician and I can’t perform an abortion!”


    As soon as Mnie finished her words, she suddenly realized something.


    She couldn’t believe that it was true.


    “Would the Smith family ept her only if I agreed to get engaged to Ryan?”


    “Only you can help Vanessa right now, M.”


    Steve looked guilty.


    “Ryan likes you very much and he has said that he will marry no one but you. He’ll treat you


    Hearing Steve’s plea, Mnie felt extremely disappointed. All he cared about was Vanessa.


    Suddenly, Mnie thought she saw Vanessaughing grimly.


    Mnie grabbed a water bottle from the desk and threw it at Steve.


    “Get out! Get out of here now! I don’t want to see you anymore!”


    Angie, who was waiting outside, noticed that something was wrong and hurried in.


    Seeing Mnie’s tears, she became furious.


    Soon, Steve was driven out.


    “Did you hear that, Angie? He wanted me to marry a cripple for Vanessa’s sake.”


    Tears welled up in Mnie’s lost eyes.


    “Am I his biological daughter, Angie?”


    well.”


    “It doesn’t matter how he treats you. Mnie. You have me, the kids, Enzo, and Eric now. You have


    the Thomas family with you. We’re all your family.”


    Angie stroked her back gently.


    won’t see anyone


    “Promise me that you of the Robertson family anymore, Mnie. Think about your eyes. You can’t


    ey anymore.”


    “Yes, I won’t see them. I don’t want to see them anymore. I’m gonna kill them. I’ll avenge myself.”


    “That’s right. They should all go to hell.”


    What they didn’t know was that Elias went to the Lambert Manor again.


    Early in the morning, Richard drove out of the manor and saw Elias who was waving his hands to


    stop the car.


    “Did you see that boy, Bill? He came here yesterday.”


    Bill saw the anxious Elias who was waving his hands constantly.


    Somehow, he felt a little uneasy.


    He told Richard to stop the car and then got out of it.


    “Why are you here again, kid?”


    “Have you seen my daddy, Sir?”


    “I don’t know who your daddy is. How do I know where he is?”


    Bill smiled and thought that Elias was so cute.


    He found Elias a little familiar and he thought that he might have seen his dad before.


    Elias blinked with big eyes.


    “My daddy is Roderick Lambert. He lives here. Have you


    “What? What did you just say?”


    seen him?”


    Bill thought he had heard him wrong. “Are you saying that your daddy is Roderick Lambert, my


    boss?


    Hearing this, Elias nodded repeatedly. “Yes, Roderick is my daddy.”


    Seeing Elias‘ determined look, Bill took a careful look at him and finally understood why he found


    him familiar.


    The top half of Elias’s face did look a lot like that of Roderick.


    They both had a small red mole in the right corner of their eye, exactly the same size and spot.


    This shocked Bill!


    Roderick, who was browsing news in the backseat, identally looked up and found that the car


    was stopped.


    “What’s going on?”


    His cold words brought Richard back to his senses.


    “Someone wants to see you, Mr. Lambert!”


    “Who?”


    Roderick rubbed his forehead. Jennifer asked him a lot of questionsst night about Mnie.


    It took him a lot of effort to get rid of Jennifer, but now all he thought about was Mnie.


    He kept remembering how she had looked seven years earlier and thest few times he had seen


    her.


    Ever since he was drugged and had sex with her in Solustria seven years ago, he could no longer


    get her out of his mind.


    During the past seven years of searching for her, he thought he had long since lost his desire as a


    man.


    However, since thest time he had seen her on the ne, he had noticed an impulse in his body,


    which drove him crazy.


    He would go mad if he didn’t do something about it.


    “Why don’t you have a look, Mr. Lambert? He said that he’s here for his dad.”


    “What?”


    “He said that his father’s name is Roderick Lambert,” Richard said nervously.


    “Really?”


    Roderick couldn’t helpughing.


    He did want a child.


    If she hadn’t left seven years ago, she would have married him and had several children.


    Thinking of this, Roderick was in a better mood and opened the window to look out.


    He was stunned for a moment when he saw Elias.


    Elias certainly looked like their child. His face looked like both his and hers.


    Roderick thought, “Did she have a child with me?”


    He hurriedly got out of the car.


    Elias ran quickly and got into his arms.
