CHAPTER 729 A SLAP

"Why else? You're going back with us," Mr. Lovett replied with a stern expression.

Mandy's eyes widened. "Go back? No, I'm not going back!"

She stepped back.

If she went back, how could she be with Henry?

If she went back, she wouldn't be able to see Henry anymore!

No one understood daughters like their fathers did. M r. Lovett could certainly tell what Mandy was thinking about and he snorted coldly, "If you don't go back and stay here, what else can you do? Do you think you can be with Chairman Lancaster if you stay here? Let me tell you, that's impossible. Chairman Lancaster and Mrs. Lancaster have a great relationship, it's impossible that he’ll make any mistakes, so you should get rid of those thoughts." 1

"I..." Mandy choked.

She obviously knew that Henry loved Shannon very much.

However, she was not reconciled.

As Mandy thought about it, she clenched her fists. " Dad, even if Henry and Shannon are in a good relationship, as long as I work hard, I believe that

Henry will fall in love with me, just like you and mother back then..."

Slap!

As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Lovett’s face darkened and he gave Mandy a slap.

Mandy screamed and fell to the ground as she covered her face with her hands. She looked at him in disbelief. "Dad, did you just hit me?"

Mrs. Lovett who was at the side was also startled by M r. Lovett's actions. It took her a long time to react. Mrs. Lovett crouched down and pulled Mandy up. She was angry and worried for Mandy. "Yeah, dear, why did you hit our daughter? You’ve never hit her before but you actually went as far as hitting her. Look at what you did to her face!" Mrs. Lovett said as she touched Mandy's face.

Mandy was in pain and her tears started falling down.

When Mr. Lovett saw her crying like this, he felt bad too. After all, he had always loved and cared for her since she was a child, so he obviously felt sorry.

But when he thought of what his daughter said just now, he had no choice but to suppress his regret.

"You’re only talking about how I hit her, but why didn't you think about the reason I hit her? Didn't you hear what she said just now?" Mr. Lovett pointed to Mandy.

Mrs. Lovett straightened her neck. "I heard that, so what? Did Mandy say anything wrong? Even if

Chairman Lancaster likes Shannon now, who knows for sure what'll happen in the future? Men are always fickle and disloyal. Men can be crazy in love because it's new and different. Once the phase passes, they're going to play around again eventually. Didn't you do the same back then?" copyrighted © content.

"You... You..." Mr. Lovett trembled with anger.

Mrs. Lovett still didn't think what she said was wrong. She snorted coldly, "Back then, you and your ex-wife were deeply in love too. In the end, you were seduced b y me anyway. So, men have deep- rooted bad habits. A s long as Mandy puts in more effort, she'll be able to snatch Chairman Lancaster over eventually." 1

Mandy nodded, obviously agreeing that her mother's remarks made sense.

Mr. Lovett flushed with anger. "So this is how you teach your child. You taught her to be a mistress and not only do you not think it's wrong, but you're also still so shameless!"

If his daughter actually had the ability to snatch Chairman Lancaster over, he would not have said all that.

But he clearly knew that Mandy could not win Chairman Lancaster over, and she might even offend the Lancaster and the Smith family at the same time, s o he did not want his daughter to try to take anyone away.

After all, she was his daughter and he did not want his daughter to actually be someone else's mistress or a mistress who failed to take anyone away.

"Wrong?" Mrs. Lovett had her hands on her hips." What did I do wrong? Also, what do you mean by mistress? In relationships, the mistress is the one who isn't loved. After Chairman Lancaster falls in love with Mandy, then Shannon will be the mistress, don’t you understand?"

"You..." Mr. Lovett was so mad that his face and neck flushed.

He knew that this woman did not make any sense, and her beliefs were not in line with his at all.

Moreover, Mrs. Lovett had completely instilled her beliefs in Mandy, making Mandy feel like being a mistress was not something shameful, but a glorious thing.

Fortunately, he found out early. Otherwise, would the Lovett family still have any pride left if the mother and daughter caused even more trouble?

As Mr. Lovett thought about it, he grabbed Mandy’s arm and said, "I really regret listening to your mother and letting her educate you. You've learned everything from her, and you're even proud of

being a mistress. If you can actually snatch Chairman Lancaster away, I wouldn’t have said anything. Even if the public talks about the Lovett family, I wouldn't care either because the Lovett family would gain from it after all, but!"

Mr. Lovett paused and continued, "But you won’t be able to snatch Chairman Lancaster away and you even want to be someone else's mistress. The public will only say that the Lovett family has a bad upbringing, and they'll ridicule our family. So starting today, you're going to go back to the Lovett family. I'll teach you myself and you're not leaving the house until I turn your sense of value around. Let’s go!"

After speaking, Mr. Lovett grabbed Mandy immediately and got into the car.

Mandy yelled in fright.

Mrs. Lovett hurriedly followed. "Dear, what are you doing? Let go of Mandy, you're hurting her."

Mr. Lovett pretended not to hear her and closed the door with a slam before driving away.

Immediately after the family of three left, Yvonne knew about what happened.

She also knew about the conversation between the family of three that happened in front of the police station. She sent someone to watch them and the person recorded the entire conversation before sending it to her.

Sue sat next to Yvonne and played with Theo as she said with emotion, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Lovett still has a decent sense of value. He knows that it's a bad thing to be a mistress and he's going to go back to educate Mandy."

Yvonne drank some milk and smiled. "Sense of value? I don't think he has any sense of value. He’s just more sensible and rational than Mandy and her mother. He knows when to back off."

"Madam, what do you mean?" Sue looked at her curiously.

Yvonne shook the glass of milk and replied, "You probably heard it too just now. Mr. Lovett said that if Mandy could actually snatch Henry away, he wouldn't have said anything."

"It seems like he did say that." Sue nodded.

Yvonne curled her lips mockingly. "This means that if Mandy can actually snatch Henry away, he'll obviously be happy because that way, the Lovett family can use the Lancaster family to rise to the top. But it was clear that Mandy couldn't steal Henry away, and she might even anger the Smith and Lancaster family, so he stopped Mandy from being a mistress."

Upon hearing this, Sue's eyes widened. "If that’s the case, then Mr. Lovett has a double standard."

"Yes, he has double standards and knows how to avoid conflicts. That’s why Mr. Lovett isn't very capable but he's able to keep the Lovett family around. He doesn't have the ability to blaze a trail, but because he's very cunning and knows how to trim his sails, so that’s why he can keep the Lovett family around," Yvonne explained.

Sue curled her lips. "People like him would be a treacherous minister in ancient times."

Yvonne laughed as she was entertained, "You're right, but more often than not, traitors like him live the longest."

"Sigh. I really thought that Mr. Lovett really loved his daughter and didn't want her to be a mistress. I didn't expect this to be the case." Sue sighed and felt like it was her sense of value that was ruined.

Yvonne put the glass of milk on the coffee table in front of her. "How should I put this? It's not that he doesn't love Mandy. If he really didn't love Mandy, he wouldn’t care at all when he found out that she was in so much debt in Canada, let alone coming here personally and paying off Mandy's debt. However, his love was limited."

"Madam, what do you mean?" Sue was puzzled.

Yvonne squeezed her neck that was a little sore and replied, "It means that as long as Mandy doesn't do anything that jeopardizes the interests of the Lovett family and himself, he wouldn't mind being a loving father that spoils Mandy and her mother."
