Mr. Lambert’s face was full of agony. “But… But all of the businesses that were previously cooperating well with the Yu family decided to stop doing business with us all of a sudden. When I asked them, they said I’ve offended someone.”
“Oh, really? You must have offended many people, then, Mr. Lambert,” Martin Weiss said indifferently.
Mr. Lambert had no choice but to suffer in silence.
He… He was usually quite arrogant and had offended many people, but he was rich and knew a lot of people in the triads. Therefore, he could easily smooth things over each time there was a problem.
However, he hit a snag with Martin Weiss this time. This was not something his family could settle.
He only thought that Kyla was only Martin Weiss’s lover. She meant nothing to him despite being pregnant. He merely humiliated Kyla, but Martin Weiss humiliated him back afterward. He got a taste of his own medicine.
He thought it was the end of the matter, but many of his family’s businesses were affected in the following days. It even affected their capital chain, and the bank would not even loan them The Lamber family would be dead meat if it went on like this.
Seeing that Martin Weiss and his group were about to leave, Mr. Lambert suddenly said, “Mr. Weiss, you don’t want the scandal between you and Miss Corbyn to be exposed, do you?”
“Scandal?” Martin Weiss suddenly stopped and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Kyla also frowned. Then, she asked her mother to take Nelson into the car first.
Mrs. Corbyn worriedly looked at Mr. Lambert. She was about to leave with her grandson at her daughter’s cue, but Nelson refused to go. He insisted on staying with Kyla to protect her.
“Mr. Weiss, you brought Miss Corbyn to the party today and Miss Corbyn is dressed up so beautifully.
But I’m afraid few people know that Miss Corbyn has been to prison…” Mr. Lambert thought he had something on Martin Weiss and deliberately lowered his voice as if he was afraid others might hear him.
Martin Weiss’s eyes turned cold as his thin lips were pressed together into a straight line. His expression turned grim.
Mr. Lambert felt more assured that he had gotten Martin Weiss’s weak point when he saw that.
Therefore, he spoke with more enthusiasm, “Miss Corbyn got pregnant out of wedlock. The baby is going to be a bastard when they’re born. If others find out your have a bastard child and that a woman who has been to prison gave birth to them, it’ll probably damage your and the Weiss family’s reputation, Mr. Weiss.”
When Nelson heard the word ‘bastard’, his young face seemed gloomy.
It was because many people would call him a bastard when they called him names.
He had no idea what a bastard was when he was little. After he grew up and understood it, he felt the weight of the word more and more.
Kyla saw the gloom on her son’s face and felt a pang in her heart. She lunged over to her son, gripped his hand with one hand, and said to Mr. Lambert, “You have no right to call my son that!”
Mr. Lambert said, “But people will talk, won’t they? Miss Corbyn, you seem smart. Why don’t you advise Mr. Weiss not to make a big deal out of this? Otherwise, everyone’s going to suffer if I expose this!”
Martin Weiss looked at Mr. Lambert coldly as if he wanted to freeze Mr. Lambert to death!
“Everyone’s going to suffer?” Martin Weiss raised his hand and punched Mr. Lambert, sending him to the ground.
The commotion attracted the attention of the departing guests and caused an uproar.
Mr. Lambert staggered to get up from the ground, but Martin Weiss soon grabbed Mr. Lambert’s collar ruthlessly, almost lifting him from the ground. “I won’t let you off if you do anything to Kyla. The Lambert family can forget about ever gaining a foothold in Emerald City. I’ll keep my word!”
Mr. Lambert was beaten into a rage. He had already compromised so much, yet this was what he got.
Seeing that Martin Weiss did not want to cut the Lambert family any slack, Mr. Lambert shouted, “Okay, Martin Weiss. I gave you a chance, but you didn’t want it! Listen here, everyone! The woman standing next to Mr. Martin Weiss is an ex-convict. She’s also pregnant out of wedlock! She’s carrying Martin Weiss’s baby, but Martin Weiss didn’t even give her a title. But then again, she’s an ex-convict!”
Not far away, Jacqueline Bowman, who was walking out of the party’s venue with Neal Reid, also saw the scene. A faint smile. flashed across the corner of her lips. Sure enough, it was just as she had expected.
How could someone like Martin Weiss forgive Mr. Lambert easily when he had made a move against him?
With Mr. Lambert’s character, he would expose the fact that Martin Weiss was keeping Kyla as his lover and was an ex-convict to humiliate Martin Weiss if he did not get what he wanted.
Just like what was happening now…
However, to Jacqueline Bowman’s surprise, a woman’s voice suddenly rang out. “Miss Corbyn was wrongly convicted and it was a miscarriage of justice. The courts have retried the case and cleared Miss Corbyn’s name. What you’re saying can be regarded as slander. And you chose to say it at a time like this, which means you’re obviously hoping the rumor will spread. Miss Corbyn may bring this to court, and you may be sentenced to up to three years in prison if convicted!”
Jacqueline Bowman looked at the speaker with a surprised look on her face. The speaker was Grace, the wife of Emerald City’s famous Young master Reed.
Grace was surrounded by wives of rich businessmen and socialites at today’s party, but she was now standing up for Kyla.
What surprised her more was when she saw Grace walk up to Kyla and ask, “Kyla, I’ll represent you if you want to go after this man. through the law.”
Kyla looked gratefully at Grace. “Thank you, Grace.”
“Don’t mention it. You’re my children’s godmother!” Grace said, deliberately letting everyone around them hear that.
Jacqueline Bowman was shocked when she heard that. ‘Kyla’s… the godmother of the Reed family’s triplets?’
‘What’s going on here? Kyla is just a store owner. She has no money or power. How could she be the triplets’ godmother?’
After all, Kyla could do anything she wanted in Emerald City with that identity!
“Even… Even if she was wrongly convicted, she… She’s still Martin Weiss’s lover! She got pregnant out of wedlock and is willing to be a rich man’s lover. How could the Reed family let someone like that be their children’s godmother? Mrs. Reed, don’t… Don’t let this woman fool you!”
Martin Weiss was still grabbing his collar, and Mr. Lambert naturally recognized Grace, so he immediately said that. After all, he would really be finished if he also offended the Reed family!
Therefore, he could only continue to throw mud at Kyla so that the Reed family would vent their anger on Kyla instead. That way, he would be able to keep himself out of it.
However, what Martin Weiss said made Mr. Lambert lose his last glimmer of hope.
“Kyla is my wife! She’s the only wife I’ll ever have. Who are you to judge her? You’ll pay for every word you said today!” Martin Weiss suddenly threw Mr. Lambert on the ground and looked condescendingly at him.
Mr. Lambert shivered, unable to believe what he had heard!
‘Kyla is… Martin Weiss’s wife! They’re already… married?
‘Martin Weiss even said Kyla is the only wife he’ll ever have in front of so many people!’
