“My mind was not in the right place. Hubby, I didn’t do it on purpose. Old Roberts, save me.”
Father Roberts finally understood why Eric was angered. So, he sighed and spoke in a much gentler tone than earlier. In fact, he tried to persuade Eric nicely, “Eric, this is your mother and there are plenty of people coming and going in this corridor; it doesn’t look good for you either. Forgive her this once. Didn’t Emma end up OK in the end?”
“What if something happened to her?”
“Even if something happened, Wren is still your mother, you can’t send your mother to prison.”
In other words, Wren was allowed to hurt others, but if someone was to hurt her, they would deserve to be punished.
After listening to Father Roberts, Eric’s l*ps suddenly curved upwards, “Not only will I send her to prison. Before that, I want her to suffer.”
“Eric!”
“Before you defend her, you should look at her carefully. Is she really the wife that you married?”
As soon as Eric said this, everyone was stunned, including Lithika.
What did Eric mean by this?
“Identify your wife first before you come asking for this woman.” After speaking, Eric stood up from his seat like an almighty king overlooking the world.
All of a sudden, everyone had different thoughts in their minds.
Of course, Eric’s mind was still the most frightening.
After all, Wren and Father Roberts didn’t know the extent of Eric’s anger. What did he plan to do and how far could his anger go?
“Eric…son, cancel your report to the police. I can do anything. Just don’t call them!”
At a time like this, Wren still tried to call him her son.
Eric fell silent, no longer saying another word. Because of his presence, the people behind him simply stood quietly. They ended up standing there for 2 hours until Father Roberts finally spoke up, “How long do you plan to keep this up?”
“Until my wife wakes up,” Eric replied coldly. “Don’t you think that she deserves an explanation from the two of you?”
“Eric, is that woman the only thing that’s important to you?”
Eric sneered; Father Roberts’s question seemed a bit naive.
“It’s not my first time disregarding all relationsh*ps!”
While Eric and Father Roberts were arguing, Wren took the opportunity to slowly retreat and remove her shoes while no one noticed. She wanted to sneakily dispose of the shoes in the r*bbish bin nearby, but Eric would never give her that chance.
“What are you trying to do?” the bodyguards grabbed Wren and took the shoes from her hands.
“Slander! This is pure slander, Eric! Your bodyguards obviously did it and they are trying to frame me…I didn’t do anything. I’m innocent!”
Everyone was shocked by Wren’s behavior. Just a moment ago, she appeared so sincere that they thought she had learned her lesson. But, contrary to everyone’s expectations, she had other plans up her sleeves. Eric had pointed out her shoes earlier because she had been too negligent. Now that her shoes had the fi**gerprints of others on it, it could no longer be used as evidence.
As for any fi**gerprints left around the home, she could easily say that they were left behind from the time that she stayed at the villa.
The bodyguards were stunned. They never expected that Wren would be so foul.
Eric stared coldly at Wren as she put on an act. He grabbed her collar and said in a threatening tone, “You are disturbing Emma. If you make another sound, I will make it so you can never say a word again.”
Father Roberts immediately stepped forward, tore the two apart and protected Wren. But compared to his previous enthusiasm, his approach this time was a lot calmer. He had personally witnessed how Wren went from admitting her faults to denying all involvement. This…was slightly different to the wife that he knew. She suddenly felt like a stranger – like a person he had never truly known.
“Hubby, Eric wanted to frame me. He wanted to frame his own mother…”
“Shut your mouth. You are being too noisy,” Lithika could no longer endure Wren’s acting as she stepped forward from where she had been standing for a while. “I never thought that people like you existed in this world. But, after today, I suddenly feel like I had been blind up until this point.”
“This is a Roborts Family issue, what has it got to do with you?” Father Roberts turned and questioned Lithika with an obvious trace of irritability.
“Roberts Shayan, you are a worthless piece of trash!”
Father Roberts couldn’t help but raise his hand at Lithika. Seeing this, Lithika couldn’t hide her mockery even though she was wearing a mask, “Calling you worthless is not enough. You are completely blind!”
Father Roberts did not make a move. However, Wren directly stepped forward and tore off Lithika’s mask. Seeing the scars on her face, Wren laughed, “You’re nothing but an ugly monster!”
Eric did not get involved with the argument. Instead, he headed into Emma’s room because she had finally woken up.
However, he left behind the bodyguards to protect Lithika and prevent her from suffering a loss.
Lithika covered her exposed face and glared at Wren hatefully, “This is all thanks to you!”
Hearing this, Wren froze in place, “What are you talking about?”
“I’m referring to the explosion at the research facility 19 years ago! You stole my identity, you fraud!”
Wren was shocked. She never expected that Lithika was still alive and that she’d actually show up and identify her.
Wren quickly hid behind Father Roberts, “Old Roberts, this woman must be crazy. I don’t understand a word that she’s saying.”
“Ugly woman, are you crazy? How dare you slander my wife? Do you think that I wouldn’t be able to recognize my own wife?” Father Roberts scoffed. “Or perhaps, did the performer pay you to put on an act?”
Lithika couldn’t help but sneer at the way that Father Roberts continued to protect Wren, “The summer after we first met, we arranged to go for a holiday in France. However, just as we boarded the plane, you were called back by a phone call. At that time, I told you that we weren’t fated to be together.”
After hearing this, Father Roberts’s heart felt like it had been struck by a heavy blow.
“On the night of our wedding, I told you I was in no rush to have a child and you told me it was OK. At that time, I had already decided on a name. If we had a son, he’d be called Eric, and if we had a daughter, she’d be called Roberts Xin,” Lithika recalled one memory after another. “Can the b*tch tell you all this? All she can say is that the fire was too fierce, so she lost her memory.”
Father Roberts looked at Lithika in detail. No wonder he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
But…
“That’s impossible. Even if you know all this, you can’t pretend to be my wife. I know her face.”
Lithika did not argue nor hold any expectations for Father Roberts. Her heart had already given up on this man, “You will pay a heavy price for what you have said to me today. As for the b*tch behind you, she will definitely come to a horrible end.”
“You can’t scare us! With your face, did you think that you could pretend to be me? Why don’t you check your reflection in the toilet bowl?”
…
Emma had been awake for a while and her mind had already cleared a lot. As soon as she heard the arguing outside, she asked, “Why is it so noisy outside?”
Eric hugged her and recalled everything briefly. After hearing what had happened, Emma didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “This Wren is indeed tricky.”
“I left her for you to deal with.”
To put it simply, he was telling her to settle the issue the way that she wanted to settle it.
“Let’s put my matter aside for the moment. We need to help your mother reclaim her identity,” Emma said softly. Perhaps, because of all that she had suffered, her body was weak and her mouth was dry.
What Emma was trying to say was, she was going to first expose Wren’s identity and tear off her mask before she sought revenge for what she had done. And what she meant by ‘putting her matter aside’, simply meant that she was going to rearrange the sequence of events.
This time, Emma was almost forced to have an abortion and her child was almost hurt in the process. The nature of this incident was worse than the incident with Elodie.
Since Lithika had crossed Emma’s bottom line, she would need to pay for it.
Emma was going to take away everything that Wren had!
“Are you feeling better?” Seeing Emma in such a weak state made Eric feel guilty. “If something happened to you and our child, I wouldn’t know what to do.”
“I’m fine,” Emma reassured. “I’m honestly fine and so is our child.”
