Chapter 161
Chloe asked the servant to get some ice, a cold glint in her eyes, clenching her teeth in anger, and said furiously, "Does that bitch Agnes think that just because she married Mr. Neville's assistant Kevin, she can do whatever she wants? She didn't even become Mrs. Neville, What is there to boast about! Next time I see her, I'll ensure she loses all her dignity!"
Harold, trembling, pointed at Faith and questioned, "What exactly happened? As far as I know, Agnes isn't the kind of person who is unreasonable."
Back when Agnes was still Michael's girlfriend, Harold admired Agnes for being a generous and obedient girl. During that time, her various actions left a deep impression on him. She not only did a lot for Michael but also took good care of Faith.
Faith immediately retorted discontentedly, "Dad! I'm your daughter! Why do you always speak up for Agnes!" Back when Agnes and Michael hadn't broken up, no matter what happened, Harold always blamed her, and now was no exception.
"I support whoever is right. Michael still wants to win Agnes back, but you two keep causing trouble!" Harold was very disappointed in Faith and blamed himself for spoiling her too much.
Chloe couldn't stand it anymore. "What are you talking about? Michael has already agreed to get engaged to the daughter of the Simpson Family, a prestigious family! Besides, Agnes is already married, even if she wasn't, she wouldn't be good enough for Michael!"
Harold, with his hands behind his back, patiently explained to Chloe, "How many times have I told you about the Tudor family? Back when Agnes' grandfather was alive, her family was also a top family in Lumina City. Then, to help the Perez family pay off debts, that they sold the company, and with Henry's medical expenses being huge, they gradually declined. By rights, Agnes was more noble than the daughter of the Simpson Family before she was ten."
Chloe still wouldn't accept it, saying disdainfully, "Even if they were once glorious, isn't Agnes now down and out? Look at how rough she was when she practiced fighting, she was like a vulgar woman. I really don't know how Michael's taste could be so bad!"
"How dare you say that, why did Agnes practice fighting? Wasn't it to protect Michael and Faith? Her roughness is inseparable from Michael. If you were her, for the man you love, wouldn't you find a way to become strong and powerful? Now Agnes is with Kevin and becoming Mr. Neville's person, she's much more elegant than before, you should understand that." By this point, Harold was already out of breath.
Chloe responded indifferently, "If your health is bad, don't say so much. No one asked her to protect them in the first place. Can't the Wright Family afford bodyguards? She just wanted everyone to know how capable she was."
Harold closed his eyes and leaned back on the couch, after a while, he looked at the aggrieved Faith and said heavily, "Think back to the year you were kidnapped, how did Agnes treat you?"
The aggrieved Faith quieted down, slowly clenching her fists, and like Chloe, argued, "She did it voluntarily, I didn't ask her to, just like my mom said, she just wanted to show off her abilities."
That year, Agnes and Michael were just friends, not officially dating. But to save Faith, she was beaten black and blue by several strong men, almost losing her life. Fortunately, the police arrived in time to save the dying Agnes.
Because of this, Michael also severely scolded Faith, warning her not to associate with unreliable people anymore.
Later, during Agnes' hospitalization, Michael confessed his feelings to her. At that time, he had no status in the Wright Family, and his monthly allowance was not much, but a single rose moved her.
Harold tried to calm himself down, feeling utterly helpless with Faith. Watching the mother and daughter applying ice packs, he reminded them lightly, "Let's just let this matter go, the cycle of hatred and revenge has no end."
He was worried that if things continued to escalate, Leopold would definitely intervene. After all, Kevin had been Leopold's subordinate for many years, and if something happened to Kevin, Leopold would not stand by. If Faith got into trouble with Leopold because of a small grudge with Agnes, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Faith, holding her aching cheek, remained silent. How could she just let Agnes get away with it? What right did Agnes have to treat her like this? She would definitely make Agnes see the consequences of offending her.
Late at night, after watching Agnes fall asleep, Leopold got out of bed and called Kevin, "How did things go tonight?"
Kevin, who had just fallen asleep, immediately woke up upon hearing his voice. Kevin had thought countless times, if one day he had a girlfriend and was getting intimate with her in bed, and Leopold called, should he answer or not?
He pushed these messy thoughts aside and began to report what had happened tonight outside the Alioth building.
Finally, Leopold said calmly, "Cancel all her recent advertisements and activities, blacklist her for a while, and then you give her a warning."
"Yes, Mr. Neville." Kevin knew who he was referring to. Recently, the Wright Group had risen in Lumina City, and many advertisers, out of respect for Michael, had given Faith, who had a cool temperament, many endorsements, even though she was still in college. But unfortunately, Faith's slap tonight hit the wrong person and provoked Leopold.
Kevin guessed that Agnes must have pleaded with Leopold for Faith. After all, for someone like Faith to dare hit Agnes, if Leopold didn't do something, it wouldn't be his style.
The next evening, Agnes was going to attend the Lumina City Entrepreneurs' Exchange Meeting, feeling very nervous.
She had never attended such a meeting before, and before leaving, she kept pestering Leopold with many questions.
After Leopold's patient reassurance, she gradually calmed down.
Leopold went to the company, and Agnes also got ready to go out.
Thinking that she would be going to Beacon City for a while the next day, Agnes felt she should personally visit the Lopez family to say goodbye to Marissa and her husband.
When she arrived at the Lopez family, she saw Grace and Ernest arguing intensely at the door. To avoid awkwardness, Agnes didn't get out of the car but watched them argue heatedly from inside the car.
