Chapter 636
Seeing Elodia smile, Liliana could not help but feel shocked.
Her father's leg was broken, but she could still smile.
How did she become like this?
"It doesn't feel good to have a broken leg, does it? I think the money you took from me in the past should be enough to treat your leg."
Elodia looked at Alistair said.
Alistair was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely. He looked at Elodia with hatred and fear.
He thought viciously in his heart that after she left that place, no one would support her. At that time, he would beat the wretched girl to death to vent his anger.
Liliana, on the other hand, was flustered. When she realized Elodia's heart was stone cold, she started crying.
"Elodia, you don't understand your parents' painstaking efforts at all. We're your biological parents. How can you treat us like this?
"You're our daughter. No matter what, we still love you. Other than your parents, who else in this world would love you truly?
"Your father and I are uncultured and don't know how to get along with our children, but we dote on you!"
Tears streamed down Lilian's face as she looked at Elodia lovingly and guiltily.
Elodia was stunned.
Since young, that was the second time her mother had revealed such fake gentleness to her.
The first time was when she married into the Lockwood family.
At that time, her parents felt that she had become successful, so they say good things to her.
Now was the second time.
Perhaps Lilian wanted to beg her to be soft-hearted?
Elodia did not feel anything at all.
She thought in a daze, How could there be such a disgusting person in this world?"
Elodia found the thought funny and laughed again.
When Lilian saw Elodia's strange smile, she was stunned. She stared at Elodia, trying to figure out the meaning of the smile. "You guys must be thinking of how to take revenge on me when we get out, right?" Elodia said.
The Hudson couple's expressions changed at the same time.
Lilian shook her head repeatedly. "Elodia, what nonsense are you spouting? How could we..."
"You don't have to quibble. I know best what kind of people you are/ Elodia said.
Elodia asked the guard, "Can his leg still be treated?"
One of the guards smiled and said, "It can still be cured, but it will require a lot of money. Even if it's cured, there will be after-effects."
Elodia smiled when she heard that. She looked at Alistair and said, "Did you hear that? Your leg is crippled.
"All these years, you've asked for a lot of money from me. That money should be enough for you to treat your legs."
Elodia knew that for some people, money was more important than their lives.
Wanting their money was more painful than wanting their lives.
As expected, Alistair's and Lilian's faces turned pale.
However, who were they? Their shamelessness was already engraved in their bones.
With the thought of spending money to treat Alistair's leg, Lilian said these words without thinking, "Elodia, our family doesn't have money now. You must have money now, right? Look, your father depends on you to treat his leg.
"We're your family. How can a family have overnight grudges!"
Everyone frowned when they heard this.
A guard could not stand it and whip Lillian. He said sternly, Shut up!'
Lilian screamed in pain and then groaned.
"Mr. Lockwood, I know how to deal with them. Please let them go out and fend for themselves now."
Elodia told Draxton.
Draxton now saw Elodia in a new light. At least, that woman was no longer weak.
He said, "Alright, you can do whatever you want next."
"But, don't worry. Bella will take care of your matters, so you don't have to worry about others hurting you."
In other words, Elodia had a backer.
These words were directed to the Hudson couple.
Elodia looked at the Hudson couple and said coldly, "You can go out now. If you don't want to be crippled, spend money to treat your leg immediately. If you can't bear to spend money, then you'll be crippled fo the rest of your lives.'
"Elodia, are you not going to care about us?" Lilian looked at Elodia with a pitiful look.
Elodia smiled. If you look for me again, of course, I'll care about you. I'll break another leg of yours."
Lilian was overjoyed at first, thinking that Elodia would not leave them alone. However, when she heard the second half of the sentence, her heart turned cold.
The Hudson couple was dragged out by the Lockwood family's guards and thrown on the street.
In the dungeon, Elodia bowed gratefully to Draxton and said, "Mr. Lockwood, thank you so much."
Draxton said, "There's no need to thank. You're Bella's friend."
"Elodia, if you need anything, you can look for me," Gary said.
Gary could not help but feel bitter when he saw that Elodia did not look at him from the beginning to the end and she only talked to his cousin.
Elodia finally looked at him, but she only said indifferently, "There's no need. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lockwood."
She was distant and indifferent, like a stranger.
Gary opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
The Quincy father and son watched the commotion. At that moment, the old man looked at Elodia with admiration and said, "Young lady, you're amazing. You can control that couple." Elodia smiled sheepishly.
She was forced to do so.
At that moment, Frederick said, 'Mr. Lockwood, where's my grandnephew? It's time to let him go."
Draxton said in surprise, "Sir Frederick, your grandnephew is not in the Lockwood residence."
Frederick was furious and said, "I know. He's at Mr. Lyons' place.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
"But with your relationship with Mr. Lyons, you can ask for his release"
Draxton said, "You're wrong. Mr. Lyons has been locked up recently for stealing experimental data of crystal potion. That violates Lucsia's interests. The Lockwood family can't interfere." When Frederick heard that, he immediately exploded. "You're quibbling. You could have done it with just one word..."
Draxton's expression suddenly darkened. 'Sir Frederick, I agreed to let this old man go because he didn't hurt my wife and child. Also, you knew my grandfather when you were young.
"You don't think that a piece of jade is enough to make me speak to Mr. Lyons, do you?"
"Mr. Lyons is the teacher of the Miraculous Doctor. With your relationship, is it that difficult to ask?"
"I've always kept a clear line between public and private matters," Draxton said expressionlessly.
Frederick had an explosive temper. Seeing that he was about to explode, Arthur hurriedly held him down and said to Draxton, Mr. Lockwood, we've disturbed you today. We'll come and visit another day." With that, he pulled Frederick away.
Draxton snorted. At least someone in the Quincy family understands."
Draxton quickly left the dungeon. His heart was filled with thoughts of returning to Northernville Manor to accompany his wife and children.
Elodia followed him.
When Gary saw that, he quickly followed.
Gary wanted to say something but hesitated. Seeing that Elodia was about to get into the car and leave, he finally said, ' Elodia, I have something to tell you."
Elodia pretended not to hear him. Without looking back, she followed Draxton into the car and left.
Gary stood on the spot dejectedly. He had endless regret in his heart.
At the same time, Kim walked into the Northernville Manor gracefully.
She had figured it out. If she wanted Draxton to let the Langley family off, she had to start with Isabella.
