Speaking of which, it’s a coincidence.
When Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers arrived, they happened to see a young man walking out of the room, followed closely by a young girl.
The girl, who was the client, immediately grabbed the young man’s hand, her eyes full of tears,
"Lydia, you can’t treat me like this! That’s your child, the blood of your Patterson Family! Are you just going to abandon them?"
Lydia Patterson looked at the girl in front of him, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes, and he lowered his voice,
"Abandon what? You know better than anyone how this child came to be. If it wasn’t for you being proactive... why would I have touched you? Now why should I take responsibility?"
"But, but I..."
"Giving you ten thousand dollars for an abortion is more than generous. If you keep sticking to me, don’t blame me for putting what you did online! Then you can forget about getting even that ten thousand."
After saying this, Lydia Patterson shook off the girl’s hand and turned to leave, and it was at this moment that he saw Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers at the end of the corridor.
Scarlett really didn’t expect that in just a few short months of not seeing him, her former classmate would become an "accidental father."
If she remembered correctly, Lydia Patterson was only nineteen this year.
Lydia Patterson was Isolde Garrison’s former fiancé.
Back then, Isolde thought she liked him and did everything to snatch him up and even showed off in front of her.
That would have been fine, but what really bothered Scarlett was that Lydia also assumed she liked him.
Even later, after she explained everything, he was still relentless about wanting to come closer.
So the last time she saw him, Scarlett simply gave him a Shadow Talisman.
After that incident, he never appeared in front of her again.
Scarlett didn’t expect to see him here.
Compared to Scarlett’s calm, Lydia Patterson seemed much more flustered.
After recognizing Scarlett standing there, surprise briefly crossed his face, followed by a hint of panic. He glanced subconsciously at the girl beside him, his expression showing some guilt and unease.
Just as Scarlett was finding his reaction inexplicably odd, Lydia Patterson suddenly walked quickly towards her, anxiously trying to explain, 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"Scarlett, don’t misunderstand. Things aren’t the way you think. I have nothing to do with her."
Scarlett: ...
Her mood for watching the drama suddenly became not so pleasant.
What was she misunderstanding?
Who he has relationships with has nothing to do with her?
Samuel Chalmers’ eyes turned colder.
He recognized this young man.
Back when Scarlett Jennings said she was going to let him "meet the ancestors," he was right there.
But he didn’t like the way this young man looked at her.
He didn’t like it before.
He doesn’t like it now.
Before Lydia Patterson could get close, Samuel Chalmers stepped forward. It wasn’t a big movement, but the declaration was obvious.
Lydia Patterson stopped in his tracks, and upon seeing Samuel Chalmers clearly, his expression visibly turned complicated and awkward.
Then, he looked at Scarlett Jennings, an inexplicable trace of hurt in his eyes,
"Scarlett... are you really with Mr. Chalmers?"
Scarlett: ...
It seems just letting him meet the ancestors didn’t cure his self-delusions.
She was too gentle with him.
Reflecting on this, Scarlett had no intention of arguing with Lydia Patterson.
He was the one who could share common topics with her.
Seeing Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers about to walk past him, Lydia Patterson grew anxious and reached out to Scarlett Jennings.
Scarlett had already noticed his action, and the moment he reached out, her expression turned cold, and she was ready to release Liora Gold.
However, Samuel Chalmers’ little paperman was quicker than her Liora Gold, swiftly flying off Samuel Chalmers’ shoulder.
The little paperman, glimmering with Golden Light, flew like a blade in the wind, rushing directly at Lydia Patterson’s arm for a hit.
Lydia Patterson’s outstretched hand was instantly knocked away. Before he could react to what had happened, the little thing flew at his face again, giving him a sharp slap.
Liora Gold, a step slower, quickly flew off Scarlett Jennings’ shoulder, following Araminta Gold, slapping Lydia Patterson’s skewed face back into place.
It had to be symmetrical.
Being slapped twice in a row, Lydia Patterson clutched his arm and fell to the ground, unable to make a sound.
It was the girl who finally realized something was wrong. She quickly stepped forward, rushing to Lydia Patterson’s side, supporting him, and urgently shouted at Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers,
"Why are you hitting people?! You..."
The girl wanted to take this opportunity to show off in front of Lydia Patterson.
But those righteous accusations hadn’t yet left her mouth when she saw Samuel Chalmers’ appearance beside Scarlett Jennings and instantly forgot what to say.
Scarlett Jennings couldn’t be bothered to argue with her, so she got straight to the point,
"Jessamine Lloyd, I came to see you."
She glanced at Lydia Patterson in the girl’s arms, "As for him..."
Before she could finish, Samuel Chalmers motioned her to stop.
Then he took out his phone and directly dialed a number, instructing the other end in a cold voice,
"Come up and remove someone."
