Chapter 5

Lim Toby was flanked by an incredulous Mrs. Lim, who surveyed Lydia as she emerged from the house, with an ice-cold-faced Lim Edith and a smug-looking Feng Ann behind Lim Toby. With this comment from Lim Toby, Lydia finally understood what it was all about. "Mom, I didn't ......." She was so anxious that tears slipped from her eyes at once and took Mrs. Lim's hand to shake her head in defense, "I really didn't, Mom, you have to believe me ......." "Bitch!" Mrs.Lim raised her hand and threw a hard slap at her face. Lydia fell to the floor in pain, she quickly got up from the ground, "Mom, I was set up, I don't know anything ......." She rushed up again and pulled Lim Toby's coat, "Toby, how could you do this to me, even if you want a divorce ...... ah ......!" The other cheek received a slap from Lim Toby and Lydia just felt both cheeks burn like fire as she sat on the floor whimpering. What if even Mrs.Lim doesn't trust her and hates her, then she really has no place in The Lim Family anymore? She can't get a divorce, she can't get a divorce no matter what! "It's obvious that she couldn't stand a lonely night without a man." Lim Toby leaned down and tugged the trench coat she was wearing with his hand and sneered, "Whose dress is this? It can't be mine, can it? It's obviously your adulterers?" "Lim Toby, you should know better than me what's going on!" Lydia shrugged his hand away. She finally understood how she got here, everything last night was a trap, a trap set up by Lim Toby to get rid of her. Lim Toby sneered, "Of course, I'm aware of that, I've seen that you have someone outside, that's why I sent someone to follow you. What else do you have to say?" "Come with me ......!" Lim Toby finished as he grabbed her arm and dragged her in the direction of the elevator. Lydia was in a hurry, "Where are you taking me?" "Get a divorce at the Civil Affairs Bureau!" "No ...... I'm not getting a divorce!" Lydia struggled as hard as she could, "I'm not getting a divorce ...... I'm not getting a divorce even if I die!" "Then you can go to hell!" Lim Toby gritted his teeth as he swung his long arm and pointed at the bay window at the end of the hallway. "I ......" Lydia was stunned, no, how could she go and die, what about her mother if she died? Who would take care of her? She turned back to beg Mrs.Lim and knelt at her feet crying bitterly, "Mom, I don't want to divorce Toby, please you must help me, I was really set up by Lim Toby last night ......." She suddenly thought like, wiping a handful of tears on her face eagerly, "Mom, we can go check the hotel surveillance, you will understand everything when we have checked it ......." As soon as they heard that they were going to check the surveillance, Lim Toby and Feng Ann immediately panicked and looked at each other worriedly. Mrs.Lim raised her eyes and stopped her gaze on Lim Toby, "Toby, don't you know the manager of this hotel? It shouldn't be too hard to ask him for a video, right?" "Huh?" Lim Toby opened his mouth and said half-heartedly, "The manager I know has left last month and can't watch it." "Let's go home first, then." Mrs. Lim swept a glance at the watching occupants at either end of the hallway and led the way in the direction of the elevator. Lydia wiped a tear from her face and followed quickly. Shen Ron, who has just returned from checking the surveillance, clearly took in the scene just now and was finally convinced that Lydia was innocent. He turned his head slightly and asked Mr. Wang, the hotel manager who was nodding behind him, "Who is the manager he's talking about?" "The room service manager." Mr. Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead. Shen Ron gave a knowing oh, then it was no wonder others had access to his room. This Oh from Shen Ron made Mr. Wang's heart failure and he added carefully, "I ...... I'll fire him right away." "Who were those guys just now? Do you know them?" Shen Ron's gaze remained in the direction where The Lim Family people had left. "I don't know, but the room service manager should know, I'll call him over and ask him." "No need for that." He wasn't interested in what that family was, only in the silly woman. Being set up and having to take the blame for stealing and getting a beating. "You edit out the video and send it to them." He said this suddenly. "Okay, I'll get right on it." Mr. Wang didn't understand why Shen Ron was doing this, but where did he dare to talk too much when he had already caused big trouble, so naturally he did whatever the president said. Lydia had just returned to The Lim Family on one foot and the video proving her innocence was sent along with her. Naturally, Lim Toby was dumbfounded in the face of such hard evidence. Mrs. Lim slammed the tape at Lim Toby's feet and snarled with rage, "How can you treat your wife with these dirty tricks." "Mom, I planned this, and I asked Ann to help me, so if you want to blame me, just blame me." Lim Toby looked away and said indignantly, "I just don't like Cheng Lydia as my wife anyway!" Mrs.Lim stared at him and ordered indifferently, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to go anywhere but the office, and you will go home on time after work to be with Lydia!" "Mom, you're putting me under house arrest?" "That's right, I'll let Butler Wang follow you at all times." "Why don't you just get a rope and tie me up." Lim Toby huffed. "If you still run off to see that bitch, I absolutely will." Mrs.Lim threw that down and turned to walk indignantly upstairs. Inside The Shen Family villa. "Young master, you're back." A small maid who was serving in one of the bedrooms greeted respectfully when she saw Shen Ron and retreated to the side. Shen Ron swept her up and gestured with a hand signal for her to go down. After the maid left, Shen Ron took a step towards the king-size bed in the bedroom and placed the bouquet of roses in his hand on the bedside table. On the large sky blue bed, quietly lay a girl with a clear face and an extremely peaceful sleep, the girl had long dark hair, fair skin, and a slender figure. After thousands of days and nights of slumber, she was quite a bit thinner than she had been at the beginning, but that didn't take away from her pure beauty. Gazing at her, Shen Ron couldn't help but think of the woman he met at the hotel last night. Lydia had the same face as her. If the Yang family didn't have only one daughter, Yang June, he would have thought they were both from the same mother's womb. Shen Ron leaned over and dropped a tender kiss on her forehead as he did every day when he returned, "June, it's our fourth wedding anniversary, you must have forgotten, right?" In response to him, the room was full of cold and quiet. "June. I almost made a big mistake last night ......." He laughed softly, glad he recognized the truth at the last minute. How could his beloved June be in his suite when shed been asleep four years ago? Four years ago today, it was his and Yang June's big wedding day. Just when he thought he could finally live happily ever after with the woman he loves, he receives news of her car accident, and the wedding dress he handpicked for her, stained red with blood. When the doctor told him that Yang June might not wake up again in her lifetime, he felt like his whole world had collapsed. It's been four years and she really hasn't shown the slightest sign of turning around. He, on the other hand, never wanted to abandon her. Outside the door, Old Mrs. Shen shook her head and sighed for the umpteenth time, her tone full of hatred, "Look, look, what is this, it really pisses me off." "Grandma, don't worry, brother will let go of his knot one day and take another wife and children." Shen Belle said with a smile of relief. "It's been four years, why do you think this child is so dead-hearted?" The more Old Mrs. Shen thought about it, the angrier she became, almost rushing in to slap Shen Ron awake. Shen Belle, alarmed by her agitation, pulled her back, "Don't be angry, Grandma, hurry to your room and go to bed." Old Mrs. Shen turned to admonish her, "You have to help persuade him well sometimes." "Yes, I will, lah."
