Lily Hernandez watched as Michael Lee slowly walked towards her and bent down to put on her shoes. At this moment, she was confused inside...
Could Michael Lee possibly have multiple personalities?
He had wanted to completely remake her when they were in the car, but now he was helping her put on her shoes.
"Are you...alright?" she cautiously asked.
His brain must still be functioning properly.
Michael Lee still ignored her and continued to sit and eat.
"..." Lily Hernandez rolled her eyes.
He's not easy to placate...
Instead of being at an impasse, she decided to be straightforward and ask Michael Lee why he wanted to restrict her freedom.
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
Lily Hernandez looked at the fully capable and handsome Michael Lee and felt a pang of anxiety.
The person coming to the apartment at this time was either an enemy or a friend.
She was now tied to Michael Lee and couldn't let the news of his good health be known by anyone with ill intentions.
"I'll go answer the door, you put on your mask first." Lily Hernandez quickly opened the display screen at the door.
She was met with a familiar face outside the door - Ethan Lee's mother, Ava Lee.
She was still the same as before, covered in luxury goods, with her trademark big red lips and an upward tilt of her chin when looking at people.
Lily Hernandez turned to Michael Lee to report, "It's your sister (not by blood)..."
It must be Ethan Lee who went home to complain, and that's why Ava Lee came rushing over.
Michael Lee skillfully reattached his scars to his face and calmly said, "Wait another minute before letting her in."
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
The tone made it seem like there was a ferocious dog outside.
Lily Hernandez thought to herself.
Between their conversation, the person outside had already become impatient, and the frequency of the doorbell increased.
Lily Hernandez couldn't help but shiver at the thought of being scolded every time she met this former mother-in-law.
"Hello..." She tugged at Michael Lee's sleeve with two fingers, and said weakly, "If she wants to hit me later, remember to protect me."
Ava Lee was an adopted daughter of the Lee family, but when the Lee family moved their company from T city to H city, an accident happened on the way and Ava Lee went missing.
When the Lee family found her, Ava Lee had already married a local thug, had a child, and was emaciated and sickly.
Her only son's whereabouts were also unknown.
As a result, Mrs. Lee has always felt guilty towards this daughter. After Ava Lee was found, the Lee family obeyed her every word, and her temperament became more and more arrogant.
But Ava Lee's personality, arrogant as it may be, shouldn't resort to violence against Michael Lee.
Michael Lee pulled Lily Hernandez's hand away and smiled, his voice cold as he said, "Nice try."
Lily Hernandez: "..."
"I'll go open the door."
As she opened the door, Ava Lee clearly paused for a moment before strutting in with her chin up.
"Michael, you live in such a small apartment?"
At this point, Michael Lee had already helped himself to the living room in his wheelchair and ignored Ava Lee's words.
He got straight to the point and asked, "What are you doing here?"
There was no politeness in his tone.
Ava Lee never liked Michael Lee's cold demeanor, and seeing that he didn't care about her, she immediately became angry.
Why was Michael Lee able to sail smoothly for so many years, while she had to marry that beast in the first place?
Now, he's even blocking her husband's career.
She shouted at Michael Lee, "You really have made progress, Michael. Even sitting in a wheelchair, you have the ability to steal someone else's fiancée."
"And now you've kicked Noah out of the company. Are you so jealous of our happiness?"
"Michael Lee, do you have any conscience left?"
Ava Lee ranted at Michael Lee, venting her resentment.
If it were anyone else, Michael Lee would have already thrown them out to feed the dogs, but this woman in front of him owed him a debt of gratitude.
When he was separated from his parents and attacked by enemies years ago, it was Ava Lee who stood in front of him, protecting him with her life.
He could only listen quietly now, keeping track of this debt on Noah.
Michael Lee listened silently, not arguing, while Ava Lee's words were like punching cotton, leaving her even more frustrated.
Ava Lee took a deep breath and declared, "I warn you, immediately bring Noah back to work at the company!"
Finally, Michael Lee spoke up.
"That's impossible."
Noah had even used the name of the Lee Group to bribe officials. If they hadn't caught it early, the consequences would have been disastrous. Not sending him to prison was already giving him face.
"You... you..." Ava Lee glared at Michael Lee, wishing he would just drop dead. "If I had known this day would come, I would have left you on the street to fend for yourself..."
Lily Hernandez, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but sneer, "If it weren't for Michael Lee, the Lee Group would have disappeared six years ago..."
