Chapter 13 Visit the Scott’s Place
On the car back to the Lambert’s house.
Laurel said seriously to Blanca, “Mom, don’t listen to Grandma for everything. Don’t tolerate Kermit and
his family every time they cross the line.”
Blanca helplessly smiled, “Your father doesn’t want to cause family conflicts. Normally, the eldest son
can inherit most of the family property, but your grandfather gave everything to your father.
Understandably, Kermit and his family are not satisfied.”
“But that’s not an excuse for them to bully us so much. Mom, in the past, it was taken for granted in our
family that the family business should be managed by the eldest son and that giving the second son
everything is disrespecting the eldest one. But think on the other hand. Why did the eldest son fail to
inherit the family property?”
Blanca was stunned. She hadn’t ever thought about it.
“Because the eldest son is not good enough to bear the burden of running the family business, so
Grandpa chose my father. We should not be guilty and stand up for ourselves. It’s us who have
supported the family business, and everyone in the Lambert Group, including Kermit, should express
gratitude to us. It’s not fair for us to endure their satire and even oppression.”
Blanca was persuaded by her daughter.

They had always put their own identity to the least concern to avoid internal contradictions. But Laurel
was right. Inheritance of family property was decided by ability. Why were they supposed to suffer such
criticism?
Laurel thought Blanca understood, so she added, “Mom, when we deal with anyone in the Lambert
family, we ought to take out our confidence. Otherwise, they’ll think they are right.”
“Alright,” Blanca said and promised, “In the Lambert family, our compromise pushes their luck instead
of convincing them.”
“My mom is so clever!” Laurel praised Blanca.
Blanca smiled in a doting way, “Your performance has set an example for me today.”
That was true.
But Laurel didn’t only do that to set an example for Blanca.
Laurel did that to irritate Gemma.
Or Avril, to be exact.
Laurel was now in the limelight. Gemma must be jealous. After all, Gemma always felt that she was the
best in the Lambert family, so she always compared herself with Laurel. She couldn’t stand Laurel who
had more than her and lived a
life better than her.
When Gemma got jealous, she intended to do irrational things. However, Gemma wasn’t as smart as
Avril and couldn’t come up with tricks. To please Gemma, Avril would certainly

give Gemma advice.
However, Avril didn’t mean to help Gemma.
Avril did everything to take Gemma down.
Laurel smiled coldly.

Fortunately, Laurel was born again and knew the nature of all her family. In this way, she could use the
cun ning of these people to achieve her purpose.
After all, it was not easy to get the goods on Bruno before marrying him. Bruno was a cautious man. He
wasn’t brave enough to mess with other women before marriage, but if someone flirted with him… A
pla yboy like Bruno couldn’t change his nature and would be lured.
Laurel only needed to wait.
When Laurel and Blanca came back to the Lambert’s house, Irvin was also back.
He was a little surprised when seeing Laurel and Blanca coming back together. “Where did you go so
early in the morning?”
“To Grandmother’s place,” Laurel answered.
Irvin changed his face immediately. With a slightly reproachful tone, he said, “Why don’t you tell me?
You should’ve let me come with you.”
In Laurel’s last life, they feared people in the Lambert family as if fearing beasts.
Laurel felt so sorry for her parents.

After all, they did everything to soften up people in the Lambert family. But they ended up getting killed
by their relatives and the Scott family together.
Laurel didn’t say anything.

Blanca smiled, “Just focus on your work. Don’t worry about the family trifles anymore.”
Irvin was confused.
Whenever they went back to the Lambert’s old house before, Blanca was nervous and suffered from a
low mood for several days after coming back. But at this moment, her mood was still very good.
“Well, why did you come back suddenly? What’s going on?” Blanca changed the topic.
Irvin had a lot of doubts, but he didn’t ask more. He simply answered, “Wilbert invited us to have lunch
at the Scott’s place for Laurel’s marriage with Bruno the next month.”
Irvin looked at Laurel.
Laurel smiled and said confidently, “Okay.”
“Weren’t you planning on canceling the wedding?” Irvin asked.
“That’s my next move. Now we should act together with the Scott family no matter what they say.”
That would be the best way to humiliate the Scott family.
“Alright.” Irvin didn’t say anything more.

Having promised their daughter to settle the marriage on her own, Irvin and Blanca naturally respect
her will.
They didn’t delay.
They changed into decent clothes and went straight to the Scott’s place.
At the door, Bruno and his parents were warmly welcoming them, along with Bruno’s sister Nellie Scott.
Laurel used to think that the Scott family warmly welcomed them to show respect for them.
But now Laurel understood that they were merely acting.
Laurel saw the paparaz zi the moment she got off the car.
In the wealthy villa area, if not deliberately arranged, even a fly couldn’t get in.
With a calm and elegant face, Laurel accepted their hospitality as her parents did.
They walked into the Scott’s place.
It was lunchtime. Everyone sat at the big table. Those delicate dishes seemingly proved the Scott
family’s sincerity.
“We intended to wait until the weekend, for Irvin and Bruno both went to work. But I feel that the
wedding day is coming, and I have to admit that I am not a person who can wait, so I invited you for
lunch today. Irvin, I hope it won’t affect your work.” Wilbert looked like a good man.
Laurel sneered.

She thought, “Chose today? Yesterday, the Scott Group’s damaged reputation caused the fall of the
stock price, so the Scott family probably had another purpose.”
“We will be family soon. Don’t say that!” Irvin had been in the business field for decades, so sociality
was not a problem for him. “I’ve handed over most of the work to the subordinates. I don’t need that
much time at work.”
“I will share more responsibility with you after I marry Laurel,” Bruno hurriedly said politely. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m waiting for you to say that. When you and Laurel get married, you’ll be running the Lambert
Group.” Irvin agreed with Bruno.
Laurel pursed her lips.
Her dad was a pretty good actor, too.
“Don’t worry. I will fulfill my duty.” Bruno was overjoyed when he heard Irvin say so.
