Remarry My Ex-wife: Love Heals A Broken Heart

Chapter 94: Are You Kidding Me 

While the two young women were squabbling, Zac hadn't shifted his gaze away from Patricia.Noticing Yolanda's gaze on them, Zac thought it best to stop showing his interest in Patricia openly.He decided to wait and see what would happen.

From the corner of his eye, he stole a glance at Patricia.

‘I know Lyndsy is no match for Patricia.But I wonder if Patricia can handle Yolanda!’ This thought had the corners of his lips curling into a smile.

He looked forward to seeing her performance.In his mind, Patricia was not someone who could be easily defeated.

At this time, Patricia, Zac, Lyndsy, and Yolanda all silently looked at each other.

No one dared speak, as if the first to talk would lose in their unspoken battle.

"Stop this at once!"

Sullivan's sullen voice instantly broke the tension in the air.

Taking a deep breath with dissatisfaction, he glared at Patricia in disgust.

His dislike for her grew.

He didn't understand how she couldn't see that she was an unwelcome guest there.

Today they were hosting his birthday party, and she had come here just to make trouble.

He had seen precisely what had happened just now, so his suspicions were confirmed.

Patricia had wanted to embarrass him with her words.

Seeing how angry Sullivan was, Yolanda had a flash in her eyes.

She quickly strode over to his side and gently stroked his chest.

"Sullivan, today is your birthday.Don't be angry, dear."

Turning, she looked at Lyndsy reproachfully.

In her elegant and righteous voice, Yolanda said, "Lyndsy, that was such disgraceful behavior! Today is your father's birthday.How dare you act so presumptuous and reckless on such a day?"

As Yolanda spoke, she subtly winked at Lyndsy.

At first, Lyndsy didn't understand what her mother meant.

As she stubbornly bit her lips, she noticed how furious Sullivan was.

Quickly lowering her head, she pretended to be schooled by her father.

Seeing that Lyndsy was smart enough to understand her intentions, Yolanda secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she continued, "Patricia is your older sister, and you have to greet her.Although she always contradicts your father, you can't forget your manners too."

"Mom, I'm sorry,"

Lyndsy said in a choked voice.

She kept her head lowered and didn't dare speak, giving the impression that she was repenting of her actions.

All the guests present nodded, believing Lyndsy's behavior was indeed that of a lady from a prominent family.

Glancing furtively at the guests, Lyndsy quietly snickered.

She really wanted to send Yolanda a thumbs up for her witty thinking.

‘Mom truly is a genius.She has so easily turned the tide and shifted everyone's attention to me.Now, seeing me like this, they are all going to think highly of me, ' thought Lyndsy.

Patricia looked calmly at Yolanda and Lyndsy.

Having lived under the same roof as them for so long, she knew exactly what kind of people they were.

She knew their performance must have some meaning behind it.

She just needed to wait and see what Yolanda was scheming.

Yolanda ignored Patricia's gaze.

Everything she had just said had been for Sullivan's sake.

Sullivan had attached great importance to this birthday party, so he would be furious that Patricia had now ruined it.

Furthermore, Lyndsy was openly scorned by Patricia.

With so many guests present, this was rather humiliating for Lyndsy.

So, Yolanda realized she needed to change their perceptions of Lyndsy and assist her daughter in regaining her virtuous image.

"That's my good girl!"

Yolanda said, nodding satisfaction.

Turning to look at Sullivan, she inwardly smiled as she saw his anger written all over his face.

"Lyndsy, don't forget that you'll soon be a married woman.Proper etiquette is of utmost importance, or others will think you are an uneducated woman.Furthermore, the Reynolds family will not acknowledge such a person!" Yolanda said gracefully.

She then glanced in the direction of the reporters who were among the crowd.

Before her words could sink in with the crowd, one reporter stepped forward and asked, "Mrs.Sampson, you just mentioned that Mr.Reynolds is Miss Lyndsy's fiancé.Is this the truth?"

Everyone's ears perked up as they stared at Yolanda in anticipation.

Unconsciously, they searched Lyndsy's and Zac's faces for answers, eager to learn the truth.

Patricia smiled coldly upon hearing this statement.

Evidently, Yolanda, eager to have Zac as her son-in- law, was in a rush to deliver this news to the world.

As for the reporter, Patricia knew she was arranged by Yolanda beforehand.

This was all planned out so that she could successfully shift everyone's attention to Lyndsy.

"Oh, Lyndsy, you need to take heed of mother's words, or it would be too late to learn proper etiquette after marrying into the Reynolds family!" Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Patricia said in a gentle but dignified tone as if schooling Lyndsy.

Since Yolanda was set on having Zac as her son-in -law, Patricia thought she would help her out.

Everyone in attendance gasped as they heard Patricia's words.

Indirectly, she answered the reporter's question, and being Zac's ex-wife made her statement all the more convincing.

Zac narrowed his eyes and huffed in anger at this.

‘What is she trying to say? Does she want to push me into the arms of another woman? No way! Patricia is the only woman I want to be with.I want nothing to do with anyone else.’ Coughing slightly to draw their attention, Zac glanced at Yolanda before looking at the crowd of reporters.

One reporter was bold enough to loudly ask him, "Mr.Reynolds, is that true?"

Raising his chin slightly, Zac’s gaze swept across the guests, like a king inspecting the crowd. Clearing his throat, he firmly said, "There's no such thing happening!"

Zac's stern voice reached everyone's ears.

Holding their breath, the guests anticipated a storm brewing.

"Zac, what do you..."

Hearing this, Sullivan's face darkened, and he glared at Zac angrily.

‘Why is Zac saying that today at my birthday party? Is he trying to make me lose face in front of everyone?’

"What do you mean by that, Zac?" Sullivan angrily stared at Zac.

"You heard me! I meant that literally," Zac replied coldly without saying anything more.

Sullivan's chest heaved as he furiously gazed at Zac, unable to say a word.

"Zac, how could you say such a thing? Especially today on your Uncle Sullivan's birthday,"

Yolanda gushed as soon as she noticed something was amiss.

Forcing an elegant smile onto her face, she winked at Lyndsy, who was in a daze.

Patricia, who was standing aside, showed no reaction to their words.

She just wanted to watch how this played out.

As for whether Zac's words were true or not had nothing to do with her.

Regaining her senses, Lyndsy grabbed hold of Zac's wrist.

Acting like a spoiled child, she wailed, "Zac, are you serious? This isn't the time or the place to be making such jokes!"

She was soft spoken with tears welling up in her delicate eyes.Zac's words had broken Lyndsy's heart.She could only hope that she had heard him wrong.

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Zac cast a cold glance at Lyndsy, his face expressionless and hard to read.

Lyndsy trembled upon hearing Zac's words.

Loosening her grip on his wrist, she murmured something unintelligible.

Turning towards Patricia, she openly glared at her with resentment.

Forgetting that she had an image to maintain, she shouted, "This is your fault, Patricia.You bitch! You must have used some underhanded tricks to badger Zac, or he would not have said that just then."

With a ferocious look in her eyes, Lyndsy pounced on Patricia.

"You bitch! You are just like your mother!"

As she spoke, Lyndsy raised her hand at Patricia.She wanted to strike her so hard that Patricia knew she wasn't one to be trifled with.Seeing this, Patricia gracefully raised her arm and grabbed Lyndsy by the arm.

Looking sternly at her, Patricia said, "Lyndsy, if you dare offend me again, then don't hold me accountable for what I do."

As soon as she finished speaking, a hint of coldness and hostility flashed through Patricia's clear eyes.

From the moment she stepped into the Sampson family's house, she had decided not to be the target of these bullies any longer.
