Chapter 72
“What are you talking about? Melanie stood up and asked, fumifig,
Never before had she noticed Kylie’s sharp tongr
Julie, who had been faking an illness, still had sous cosiness in her checks. Now, after hearing Kylie’s words, her face turned unpleasant
Samuel shouted angrily, “Shut up! This is disrespectful. Do you even know what you’re saying?”
Claude questioned in a deep voice, “Mom is sick, and not only do you not show any concern, but your words are also so harsh. You’re so uneducated.”
Austin wanted to say something but suddenly remembered Ethan’s words. Looking at his family, he wondered if they had always treated Kylic poorly.
Kylie glanced coldly at Samuel, Austin, and Claude, then turned her gaze to Julie. Her voice was icy and emotionless. She said. “I thought you called me back because you’d changed your mind and wanted me to inherit the family fortune.”
The Lampard Group was suppressed by the Walters Group, and it wouldn’t take long for the company to downsize in size. So she really couldn’t care less about that meager inheritance.
“Cough, cough, cough…” Julie was about to speak up in anger, but she got too anxious and ended up choking on her saliva, unable to say anything.
Melanie asked in concern, “Mom, how are you feeling?” Melanie gently patted Julie on the back.
Chris said through gritted teeth, “The Lampard family estate isn’t for you to dream about
Chris thought, ‘The Lampard family’s inheritance includes a share for Melanie, but not for Kylie
Even though Samuel was also quite angry, he managed to stay calm. He said, “Chris, you shut up.”
Kylie slowly lifted the corners of her lips into a smirk as she looked at the people in front of her. She felt nothing for them anymore because they weren’t worth it
Kylie said with a mocking smile, “Keep your Lampard estate to yourselves. Even if you forced it on me, I wouldn’t want it.”
Claude had been observing Kylie, noticing how completely different she seemed and sensing her real aversion towards them. His face showed discomfort. He asked, “What’s your relationship with Zach?”
Kylie retorted, “It’s none of your business.”
Claude stated firmly. Tm your older brother, so I have the right to know who you’re involved with. He was taking on the role of the elder sibling.
If this were at the office and Claude was angry, the employees would be frightened.
But Kylie raised an eyebrow and said, “A few days ago when the Lampard family was busy buying trending searches to ruin my reputation, where are you, my dear brother? Why didn’t you protect me? It’s ridiculous that now you remember you’re my brother”
Claude’s face was pale, and he questioned, “Do you even know what you’re saying? If you apologize sincerely today, we can overlook your past mistakes, and you can move back in. We could still consider you family. But since you returned, what have you been doing?”
Claude continued, “Instead of admitting your faults, you’re constantly opposing us, speaking badly. Don’t forget how you

used to flatter us when you first got back home. Are you willing to waste all that effort?”

“Enough, Claude” After scolding Claude. Samuel turned to Kylie and said, “We both had misunderstandings in the past. You’re my daughter, so no matter how many mistakes you’ve made, I can forgive you. But right now, can you please say less and care about your mom? She misses you so much that she’s now sick.”
Kylie thought. Is this moving from tough tactics to softer ones?”
Julie said to Kylie, “Kylie, come here and let me look at you. You’ve lost so much weight in just over a month away. Was life outside too hard? Please come home.” Julie’s eyes were red, and her tone was filled with concern for Kylie.
There was a time when Kylie would have believed her.
In the past, to get her to endure the discomfort of going to the hospital for a blood draw, Julie had used even more drastic schemes in front of her than she was doing now.
Kylie stood still at the door, her phone buzzing with a message from Zach on WhatsApp.
Zach had taken pictures of several family heirlooms, hoping she could help identify them
As she browsed through the photos, she casually said, “No need to play schemes with me. I’ve seen all the tricks before, and they bore me. Just tell me what you want.”
Everything Zach’s parents had was genuinely valuable and were the Zach family’s treasured heirlooms.
Zach sent a long message. [My mom says I should wear this bracelet so she can have a grandchild sooner. Isn’t that a bit superstitious? I’m waiting for you to call it out so I can screenshot it back to my mom] He was clearly frustrated with the constant pressure to get married.
Kylie chuckled and zoomed in on one of the bracelets. It was a bracelet blessed by Zach’s ancestors to bring prosperity and many descendants.
She typed on her cell phone. [Not superstitious, and it really might help your mom get a grandchild sooner. The rest are fine, and you can keep them.]
Zach was astonished and handed his phone to Trevor, who was sitting next to him in the car. Zach said, “Mr. Walters, I think Ms. Thompson’s career is being held back by restoring antiques. If she became a treasure appraisal expert, no other expert in the city could compete.”
Trevor took a glance at the phone that Zach handed him, which showed that in the chat between Kylie and Zach, and Kylie’s replies to Zach were even longer than his..
He gave Zach a long look and asked, “Do you chat with her often in private?”
Zach said, “Not really. We’ve only chatted a few times.” Zach was fixated on the bracelet, wondering if it would bring more children and good fortune. He thought about his dad, who had five sons, which meant the was bracelet quite remarkable,
Trevor took out his phone. In his chat with Kylie, her replies often just consisted of a simple “okay” Kylie’s attitude was quite. aloof
He didn’t get back to Starlit Villa last night. Recalling that she brought up divorce yesterday, he lightly tapped on his phone screen. Originally lost in thought, he accidentally sent a voice call
Meanwhile, after replying to Zach, Kylie looked up at Samuel, who appeared disappointed.
Samuel said angrily, “A scheme? Is that how you see us? When did you become so cynical? Did Amanda say something to you! She is trying to drive a wedge between us. You need to see the truth and not be deceived by them.”
With tears in her eyes, Julie said. “I am your mom, and I carried you for ten months. You shouldn’t think so poorly of us.”

Melanie said. “Kyle, you’ve gone too far. Melanie was struggling to understand Kylie now.
Melanie thought, ‘Does Kylie not want to return to the Lampard Family? Compared to the Thompson family, the Lampard family is wealthy. If Kylie doesn’t try hard enough to stay in such wealth and wants to return to the Thompson family to live in hardship, she is out of her mind.”
The music from the voice call suddenly played out loud
Kylie was a bit surprised to receive a voice call from Trevor
Kylie thought. He usually makes phone calls or just sends a lext on WhatsApp. Why send a voice call out of the blue?
Kylie was worried that something might be wrong, so she accepted it.
Everyone looked at Kylie and thought, “Who would be calling Kylie at this time?
