Miranda gritted her teeth and her face was full of determination, “Your pregnancy was known all over the city last time, so Lydia led a hard life after she married into the Randolph Family...”
Patricia forced a wry smile, “Mom, shouldn’t I be the one who suffered and was aggrieved because of the publicity of the scandal? How could it be Lydia Coleman?”
Miranda rapped the table heavily, “Patricia, don’t forget that you did this, and it’s you who didn’t remain chaste! And your misconduct had a bad effect on Lydia and her future! There is no doubt that Lydia is the victim!”
Miranda’s voice was so loud that it echoed through the coffee shop, attracting many curious eyes.
Patricia shook her head with a wry smile. It was the case again! It was ridiculous that she thought her parents would care about her this time...
“Well, since Lydia Coleman is the one you intend to cultivate as a successor, so you should always think she is the victim!”
Crack! A sound of slap sounded in the coffee shop.
Miranda withdrew her hand slowly, but her face was full of anger, “Patricia! Lydia is your elder sister. How can you always call her by her full name?”
Patricia raised her face, which had a palm imprint, and looked at Miranda.
Patricia sneered, “You just go straight to the point. What do you want me to contribute to Lydia this time?”
Miranda paused for a while. Although she was surprised that Patricia performed so proactive, she took it for granted that Patricia should make concession for Lydia.
“It’s quite easy. You just leave Midfort City with your baby and never come back!”
Patricia looked astonished, and then there was coldness on her face.
“Leave Midfort City with my baby? Mom, dad, you have kicked me out of the Coleman Family, and now you even want to drive me out of the city?”
Miranda could not help but pinched her lips. Hearing Patricia’s words, Miranda felt kind of guilty. But the sense of guilt disappeared at the thought of Lydia’s situation and the future of Coleman Family.
“As long as you leave Midfort City, everything will be all right! Lydia will no longer be affected by your scandal. Our family will also develop well in the city! Patricia, we’re doing this for your own good!”
Patricia sneered as if she heard the funniest joke in the world.
“For my own good? You have been partial to Lydia since our childhood! You intended to kill my baby when you knew I was pregnant and you even drove me out of Coleman Family! Besides, you even want to kick me out of Midfort City! These are what you mean my ‘for my good’?”
Miranda stretched out her hand again and grabbed Patricia’s hand, “If you leave Midfort City, no one will know what you did in Midfort City. In this way, it’s not only good for you, but also for your baby in the future! You don’t want your baby to be maligned when he grows up, do you?”
Patricia drew out her hand and looked firm, “You could drive me out because you are in charge of Coleman Family. But now I’d like to make it clear that you have no right to drive me out, since Midfort City does not belong to you!”
Patricia stood there alone, being scolded, misunderstood and even hurt. And the cause of her sufferings was the woman in front of her, her mother who had been claiming to do it for her sake!
Patricia wiped the hot coffee from her face with her hands. Ignoring her burning face, Patricia crouched in front of her mother.
“Mother, do you really want me to leave?”
Miranda stopped weeping immediately and then she hold Patricia’s hand tightly, “Of course. I want to protect you and your baby. Just do as I say and leave here.”
“It’s fine if you want me to leave, but you should compensate me, right?” Patricia felt a strong chill in her heart, and there was a sneer on her face.
Miranda scoffed at Patricia, and took out a bank card from her bag, “Don’t you want money? Here it is. There are two million dollars in the card. Take it and leave here right now!”
Patricia looked back and forth at the cars, “You want me to leave just with two million dollars? Isn’t the Coleman Family too stingy?”
A sly gleam flashed in Patricia’s eyes, “You should give me half of Coleman Family’s property at least?”
“No way! Why should we give you half of our family’s property? Patricia, you just think too high of yourself!” Miranda said angrily, trying to lower her voice.
Patricia chuckled and a light flashed in her beautiful eyes, “It’s you who ask me to leave. If you give me half of Coleman Family’s property, I’ll leave at once, but if you don’t...”
