CHAPTER 717 TROUBLE COMES OUT OF MOUTH

The gazes of the guests around the room also looked at Lydia.

Among these people were the royal family of Valenham, who were on a par with the Henderson Clan,

as well as institutional bigwigs. Lydia's status was still not elevated, but they still keenly felt that the

atmosphere of the situation was quietly changing.

It is Florence's own fault that this result has been achieved.

If Florence hadn't gotten too irritated, seeing that Lydia's daughter had drawn the number, and in his

haste started protesting against the decision of Callum, the senior member of JWCC, causing Callum

to become furious, Florence wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Paul, on the other hand, was keenly aware that Callum would only forgive them if they let Lydia put in a

good word for them.

For a moment, Paul, who had previously looked down on Lydia and made things difficult for her on

more than one occasion, looked at her with a look of admiration for the first time.

When Florence heard this, his face changed dramatically: "Paul, are you crazy? What are you begging

her for? It should be Mr. Osbourne who you're asking for!"

"You trouble-making twat, shut up!"

Paul shouted angrily, his face filled with rage.

This woman had put the Henderson family in a dangerous situation with just one mouth, and Paul

wanted to slap her to death!

As to why he begged Lydia, he himself did not know.

He was just going by his feelings, and at the moment, in his mind, he had a surprising feeling that Lydia

would be the key figure in shaping the situation tonight.

After shouting at Florence, Paul then looked at Lydia again, his expression full of helplessness and

worry.

Before he and Florence were mean to Lydia, would Lydia have pleaded for them?

Lydia watched the scene with a cold, pretty face and indifference, not saying a word.

Leo also stood by and did not say anything, it was entirely her fault that Florence would end up in this

situation.

Callum looked in the direction of Lydia, but the next moment, a scene that surprised everyone

appeared ---- Callum, who had always been a sight for sore eyes, actually looked at Lydia with a touch

more respectful attitude, and even raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at her in a friendly

manner.

This smile did not matter and everyone in the room was confused.

Lydia herself was in the clouds, bewildered.

Callum seems to know her.

And they did not know that Callum was looking at Leo first and then at Lydia only afterwards.

Callum was about to greet him excitedly, but Leo gave him a look and he instantly wimped out and

didn't make a sound.

"Mr. Osbourne, I really didn't mean it, and besides, I was looking out for the interests of JWCC!"

Taking advantage of Callum's smile, Florence thought Callum had turned in a good mood and hurriedly

exclaimed.

The smile on Callum's face immediately disappeared, and he slapped it across the face, "Can you say

the wrong thing if you are heartless? What are you, and how dare you question my JWCC?"

With this slap, Florence's face instantly swelled up and a large amount of blood even dripped from his

mouth, his appearance was very miserable.

"What? I drew a random number and you're actually calling me a cheater? How dare you!"

Callum grabbed her long hair again fiercely and looked at Florence with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Ah ......"

"Mr. Osbourne, have mercy! Mr. Osbourne, spare my life!"

Florence was screaming at the top of her lungs, but the fear in her eyes was even greater than the

pain.

"Paul, help me, help me ......"

Florence inclined his head while calling out to Paul for help.

Although Paul's face was unpleasant, he simply did not dare to intervene.

Thus, the whole Crystal Palace was filled with the miserable cries of Florence.

Callum, however, did not care and looked at Leo and Lydia with a flattering expression, saying, "Miss

Henderson, I'm really sorry, the event held by our JWCC is resolutely free of any insider decisions or

biased insiders, please be sure to trust us, Miss Henderson!"

Callum said it with such righteousness that those who didn't know thought he had done something

wrong and was apologising to Lydia.

Looking at the scene, Lydia froze.

She didn't suspect anything!

Those present could not believe that a big shot like Callum would actually apologise to an ordinary

woman.

Florence looked even more dumbfounded, and Paul's cheeks twitched violently.

He had a hunch before that the key was Lydia, and to his surprise, Callum had really apologized with

Lydia!

Despite some disbelief, the reality hit them in the head.

Florence revealed a smile that was worse than crying and said to Lydia, "Lydia, help me ......"

"Help me ......"

Florence was already begging for it, but Lydia still had a cold face and didn't say anything.

"Lydia ...... are you just going to stand by and watch me offend Mr. Osbourne?"

Seeing this, Florence clenched his teeth tightly, face twitching violently, obviously infuriated by Lydia's

indifference.

And she had forgotten how she had made things difficult for Lydia before.

Leo watched quietly from the sidelines, he stayed out of the matter and let Lydia take the lead

throughout.

Whatever decision Lydia makes, he supports it.

"Lydia, are you that heartless? No matter what, she's still your aunt!"

Paul's face was also full of annoyance when he saw that Lydia didn't say a word: "Even if your aunt did

something wrong to you, then she did it for your own good!"

Paul was also furious and shouted at Lydia.

A flash of gloom flashed across Leo's eyes as he strided up to Paul and said in a cold voice, "If you say

one more word about moral kidnapping, I'll make you never be able to speak!"

At once, a strong murderous aura filled the surroundings, and Paul subconsciously shivered and

stopped talking at that moment.

Florence's face was full of despair, hating herself for speaking without thinking and hating Lydia even

more for not saving her from death. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

However, at this moment, Lydia suddenly spoke up and looked at Callum, "Mr. Osbourne, since she

didn't mean to question you, let's spare her this time."

These words raised the hope of Florence, who had long been in despair, and she looked at Callum with

anticipation.

Callum was silent for a moment and nodded, "Alright, since Miss Henderson has said so, then I will let

you go this time, if you dare to offend the majesty of JWCC again, not only you, but also the entire

Sutton family will have to perish."

Florence's body trembled violently and he nodded hastily, "Yes, Mr. Osbourne!"

Everyone else shook their heads and looked at Lydia.

It was obvious to everyone how Florence and Paul had treated her before, but it was unexpected that

Lydia had actually forgiven them.

Lydia was silent for a moment and looked at Leo, "Do you also think I did wrong?"

She looked at him with calm eyes.

Leo shook his head and smiled, "No, you didn't do anything wrong, I support any decision you make."

Lydia did not say anything, but just sighed in relief.

She understood that no matter what she did, Leo understood her.

Even though doing so would make Florence true regret, it was not the way Lydia wanted the outcome

to be.

"Lydia?"

Suddenly, a familiar and awkward laugh came from behind.

When she looked back, it was actually Paul and Florence.

They were seen with awkwardly flattering smiles on their faces as they said, "Lydia, could you do us

the favour of selling us the number your daughter drew?"
