Chapter 1350
When Lydia finally hit rock bottom, Eugene planned to step in and offer his support. That way, she would remember his kindness deeply and she would likely end up despising Quincy completely. "Alright, Mr. Ford, I'll head back to handle those files," his assistant said, though he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"If you truly love someone, shouldn't you want them to be okay?" the assistant wondered.
Online harassment could be brutal, and yet Mr. Ford was choosing to stand by and do nothing. The assistant didn't understand his boss's thinking, but he knew it wasn't his place to question. He was there to do his job, and that was all. After the assistant left, Eugene returned to his work, occasionally checking the trending topic online. Frustrated by the slow momentum, he decided to speed things up by hiring a few more bots to fan the flames.
After completing the divorce paperwork, Lydia had initially left with Eugene. However, halfway there, she asked to be let out and headed back home.
When she arrived, she greeted her parents. "Mom, Dad, I handled the paperwork today. I'll be back in a month to pick up the divorce certificate. In the meantime, I'll stay at my apartment, so don't worry about me."
"Lydia, if you want to move out, I won't stop you," Mrs. Fay replied, "but moving all that stuff on your own will be too much. Let us come along and help you."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Lydia hadn't wanted to burden them. They were getting older, and the family business kept them busy enough. Asking them to help her move seemed ungrateful. But her parents were insistent and wouldn't take no for an answer. Reluctantly, she agreed. "Alright, but don't worry about carrying anything. I've hired movers. Just come with me for company."
Her parents agreed. The movers handled the heavy lifting while Mrs. Fay busied herself making Lydia's bed, layering the blankets to make it soft. "You like sleeping on a soft bed. This will be nice and cozy. I brought a few extra sets of bedding Remember to change them regularly."
"Mom, I'm a grown woman. You really don't need to worry about me. It's my turn to take care of you now," Lydia said, holding her mother's hand.
While they talked, Mr. Fay received a
call from the office. His expression grew darker with each passing second. When he hung up, he immediately logged onto his social media. A single glance at the. trending topic was enough to make him furious. "Quincy, how dare he! This is outrageous!"
Quincy and his family had already mistreated Lydia enough, and Mr. Fay hadn't gone after them, but now it seemed Quincy had made the first move against her. A young woman's reputation was precious, and this attack was pushing Lydia into a corner.
If not for the family's wealth, a scandal like this could ruin someone's life. In an ordinary family, this could be devastating.
"Dad, what happened? Why did you mention his name?" Lydia asked, hearing her father's outburst and coming over. If he was this angry, something serious must have happened. But surely Quincy wouldn't be bothering her father? They were both adults, and there was no need to drag their families into their issues. Lydia didn't want her parents caught up in her problems.
"Nothing, honey. Just rest. Your mom is here with you, so let us handle the rest." His first instinct was to put his phone away, shielding Lydia from the awful things he had just seen.
If he could barely stomach it, there was no way he would let her see it.
