Chapter 73
Shelby’s expression was slightly stiff.
She blinked her eyes quickly and came to Lola, saying,
“Sweetie, quickly tell Daddy that you were wrong and won’t make the same mistake again.”
Lola didn’t like to apologize.
Her grandparents told her that princesses didn’t need to apologize.
Lola snorted, “I did nothing wrong. Didn’t you say….”
“Lola doesn’t want to apologize because she’s still angry. Brandon, don’t be too serious.”
Shelby urgently interrupted Lola, her heart almost jumping out of her throat.
She feared that Lola would say she learned that word from her.
Actually, she didn’t mean to teach Lola bad things.
She just accidentally said “bastard” when mentioning Jolene, and Lola remembered it.
Shelby said again, “Brandon, comfort Lola, please.”
Brandon’s expression softened a little, but his gaze at Lola was still serious.

“You’re only five. You can’t be involved in adult matters, and you can’t call your classmates bastards anymore, understand?”
Lola snorted coldly.
Brandon was mad, and his voice got louder. “What’s with this attitude?”
Lola was stunned for a moment and suddenly became emotional:
“Daddy is yelling at me. Daddy never yelled at me. I don’t like Daddy anymore.”
Lola ran out crying.
The surprised expression on Brandon’s face seemed frozen at that moment.
Matilda was the one who did the work of lecturing Lola.
Matilda pointed out Lola’s mistakes and told Lola to correct them.
When Lola felt upset or uncomfortable, he would pick her up and coax her, and then say lightly, “She is just a kid. Why are you so hard on her?”
Matilda replied, “Because none of us wants to be the ‘bad mom’ to discipline her.”
A complicated emotion flashed in Brandon’s eyes. He finally understood how helpless Matilda was back then.
Lola went to the garden to cry to Tully.

Chapter 73
Tully couldn’t stand Shelby and had wanted to quit long ago.
So, regardless of whether Lola would turn her in, she had to tell her fabricated story to Lola.

“There was a little hedgehog in the forest. She felt her mother was covered with thorns and didn’t like her mother. Just then, a gentle and lovely fox came to their house.
“The fox had many tricks and could always make people happy. As soon as the little hedgehog saw her, she liked her, so she drove away her mother with the fox.
“After the little hedgehog’s mother left home, the fox revealed her true colors. It turned out she wasn’t nice to the little hedgehog because she liked her, but because she had taken a fancy to the little hedgehog’s father.
“She misled the little hedgehog, who was hated by everyone, and finally, the little hedgehog got kicked out of the house by the fox. But the hedgehog mother, deeply hurt by the little hedgehog, didn’t want the little hedgehog anymore.”
Lola was a smart child.
Shelby taught her to “use others,” and she could understand that and apply it immediately.
So she understood the story that Tully told.
She thought, ‘Does Tully mean that Shelby will make me hated by everyone?
‘Impossible. Everyone in the family likes Shelby, except Mommy!’
Lola spoke up for Shelby, “Aunt Shelby is not a fox. She is a rabbit, a deer.”
Tully looked at Lola and shook her head.
Not far away, the plumber who was repairing the watering equipment heard the story Tully told.
He agreed with what Tully said that Shelby was a scheming fox.
Shelby pretended to be kind to him, used him, and forced Matilda to take a shower at Allen’s place, and then took pictures.
He had no idea how she dealt with those photos.
At Maple Heights, Matilda, Allen, and Jolene had dinner at a buffet restaurant.
Allen asked Matilda, “When can you take two days off to go to that place where you can feel happy in 20 minutes?”
Matilda was surprised. “Are you serious?”
She thought Allen was saying it to comfort her at the police station.
Matilda said, “It will probably take some time. Starting tomorrow, I want to live in the office.”
“You want to live in the office?”
Allen raised his voice, obviously surprised.
Matilda replied, “Yes, I want to focus on my work.”

She guessed that Brandon had also realized she wanted to focus on her work.
Apart from work, she couldn’t compete with Brandon in terms of background or connections.
She wouldn’t let Brandon know that she had switched from image chips to Al chips.
“Then, are you coming back to live here?” Allen asked reluctantly.
Matilda said, “Yes, but I’m not sure how long it will take.”
Allen stared intently at Matilda.
She was about to get ready and fight back!

If Brandon hadn’t abused his power to make things difficult for her, this day would have come the moment she signed the divorce papers.
Jolene reluctantly grabbed Matilda’s hand and shook it.
“I can’t bear to leave you. Can you come to me as soon as you’re done?”
Matilda stroked Jolene’s small face. “Sure, I promise.”
Matilda returned to her home and video chatted with Tessa for a while.
Knowing that Matilda was going to be in her workaholic mode, Tessa playfully said, “Pay attention to your measurements, and when you are done, I’ll gift you a vintage dress to celebrate.”
Matilda looked forward to it.
For three consecutive days, Matilda had no updates or activity.
The false and negative rumors about Matilda and Allen suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Even the discussion topics about Matilda were gone.
When Matilda was video chatting with Jolene, she heard Jolene say that many students in school had dropped out.
Matilda followed Jolene’s words and asked, “Why?”
Jolene said, “They’re all bankrupt and have no money.”
Matilda expressed her sympathy.
Then, she suddenly realized something Allen had said,” Those who are kind to me will be blessed by God. Those who are hostile to me will be punished by heaven.”
If the parents of those students who dropped out were all malicious towards Allen, she should wonder if Allen was the God- favored one.
Brandon was constantly monitoring the news about Matilda.
He knew he had guessed it right.
Matilda was like a fish in water when she returned to the field of chips.

As long as she was single-minded, she would soon be able to find new, innovative ideas.
That was also why he previously tried to ruin Matilda with the crime of infringing trade secrets.
One reason was to make Matilda back down and return to his side.
The other reason was to prevent Matilda from becoming his opponent.
But Matilda has found a great patron.
He couldn’t control Horton Group.
Otherwise, in Itera City, even if Matilda were a hero, it would be difficult for her to use her skills.
