The man wore a lecherous grin on his face. Before he even stepped inside, he was already fumbling impatiently with his shirt buttons, barely able to contain his excitement,
But the moment he stepped inside, his lecherous grin froze in place.
“Y–you all…” he stammered, his voice cracking with shock.
Lydia snapped impatiently, “What’s the matter? Why all this hesitation? Don’t you want to get your hands on her anymore?”
She pushed the door open and barged in, but her words died in her throat the instant she saw who was inside.
“Mom… Adrian… Wh–what are you two doing here?”
Her triumphant smile vanished instantly, her face draining of all color.
Inside the room stood Yvonne, her arms crossed, her face stormy, and her gaze icy.
Shoulders slumped forward, Adrian’s posture formed a perfect curve of dejection beside Yvonne.
Yet Zina, who was supposed to have fainted, was perfectly alert. She arched an eyebrow, her gaze icy and razor–sharp as she stared straight ahead.
“Lydia, come with me now.”
Yvonne demanded, cast her an icy glare, then turned on her heel and strode out.
When passing the man standing beside Lydia, Yvonne came to an abrupt halt.
“You’re from the Turner family?”
The man’s knees shook so badly that he couldn’t utter a word.
Yvonne didn’t press further. She stated calmly, “From now on, the Lambert family and the Bradley family will cease all cooperation with the Turner family. I’ll have someone inform Mr. Turner of the reason.”
The man pleaded desperately, “Mrs. Lambert! No, please! I apologize. I swear I’ll never do it again! I’m begging you, please don’t tell my father…”
Genuinely terrified, the man stared imploringly at Yvonne.
But Yvonne turned and walked away without another glance.
The man’s reality shattered. Legs buckling, he hit the ground with a sickening thud.
Lydia’s legs trembled uncontrollably, but she had no choice except to follow behind Yvonne.
With his last lifeline gone, the man hurried to get out of there.
Barely had he scrambled to his feet when Adrian came flying out of nowhere and gave him a vicious kick that sent him crashing back to the ground.

Chapter 73
He snapped, “So, Felix Turner, aren’t you? You’ve got the nerve to go after my sister? Got a death wish or something?
“Have I been gone so long you all forgot who the hell I am?
“Can’t you even see what a worthless piece of trash you are? If your reflection proves inadequate, perhaps the gutter water you call home will finally show you the truth. The Lambert name isn’t some plaything for vermin like you.”
Adrian rained blow after blow on Felix with relentless fury.
Too consumed by rage to feel a thing, he didn’t notice it when his knuckles split open and his blood splattered across Felix’s body.
Felix took it for his own. “Ahh! Blood! Help! He’s killing me!”
He screamed hysterically. Soon his eyes rolled back, and he passed out cold from sheer terror.
The pungent reek of urine filled the air. Adrian stopped, scanning for the source, then found it was Felix’s.
“Pissed himself like a scared little boy. What a fucking disgrace.”
He sneered, recoiled several steps, and clamped a hand over his nose with a revolted grimace.
Summoning the servants to haul Felix out, Adrian fell silent once more.
His lips thinned as he realized the one person he dreaded facing most, Zina, was still there.
Zina showed no intention of talking. Adrian, at a loss for words, could only follow suit
After a while, he turned his head Zina’s way. Overcome with shame, he lowered his head and muttered softly, “I’m sorry. I never thought things would turn out like this. I didn’t think Lydia was capable of this.”
“So?” Zina looked up, locking eyes with him.
Once again, he fell silent.
