After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire

Chapter 394 Lorie’s Complaints

There was silence for a few seconds in the hall.

Esther stooped crying too. She was winking at Lorie at this time to let her talk. But Lorie didn’t look at

her at all. She was looking at Miguel, with weary eyes, and the rims of her eyes started to burn. Miguel

saw her red-rimmed eyes, and there was nothing to insist any more. Although she didn’t treat him well

over the years, his father told him to be more tolerant of her as he was dying. The blood is thicker than

water, after all.

He sighed heavily and said, “All right, I would try my best to help him. He embezzled business secrets,

but which were ours. As long as we forgave and interceded for him in court, it had no problem to

sentence him within one year. Later, I would ask my lawyer to come over to analyze the case properly.”

After hearing what he said, Esther finally relaxed. As she expected, they were softhearted and they

would help her anyway. But she didn’t give up her scheming personality. If they could develop well one

day, she would never be softhearted to Hannah and her parents, she thought to herself.

However, there was another extremely grateful attitude apparently, “Miguel, Michelle and Hannah,

thank you so much! When Wayne came out of jail, I would definitely let him change himself and be

obedient in the future…”

“I don’t agree!” Lorie suddenly interrupted her thrilling voice.

Esther was stunned for a second, then turned to her.

Eyes red-rimmed, Lorie looked terribly grave.

“Mum, what’s wrong with you?” Esther hurriedly stopped her, “Miguel agreed to help Wayne, you didn’t

worry about it.”

Lorie looked at her with a cold stare and sneered at her, “Esther, did you really expect me to help you

to this point?”

“What are you talking about? Don’t you always tell me to bring you here to plead for Wayne? He is your

only grandson. You can’t bear to let him go to prison, but what do you mean now? Mum, you were too

sad to be rational when you heard he was in jail. But Miguel promised to help him, so didn’t worry about

it.”

“Shut up!” Lorie’s face fell, looking very stern.

Esther was frightened by her roar. Miguel, Michelle and Hannah were also surprised by her sudden

response. Everyone was looking at Lorie, who suddenly stood up from the sofa and walked towards

Miguel. Then she knelt down at once.

Miguel blanched with fear. How could his mother kneel down for him? He quickly supported Lorie and

knelt down too.

“Mum, what are you doing? Get up, please! I promised you. If you don’t think a one-year sentence is

good, I will try my best to get him a reprieve. And he won’t suffer in prison anymore. Please stop

kneeling and get up quickly.” Miguel scrambled and obviously shocked by her behavior.

Lorie looked at his son with falling tears, “Miguel, I treated you badly before because I have been

misunderstanding you that you robbed all the family property. I biased everything toward your eldest

brother, thinking their family treated me best and you were heartless. Now I know that they are really

brutal.”

“Mum,” Miguel didn’t know what to say or why she burst into tears.

“I was wrong and saw their true colors. I finally knew that your brother and his family used me to get

Cooper Group from you, but they never treated me well. Now I was no longer useful, they just beat me

and abused me. Miguel, you didn’t know how Esther treated me all this time. I wish I was dead...” Tears

fell down crazily.

Esther listened to her complaint standing nearby and was blue in the face. She quickly knelt down

again and said, “Mum, how could you say that? We didn’t live well because we didn’t have money. How

could I give you the glory and wealth you want without money? I could only serve you a humble meal!

Sometimes when you were clamoring for expensive food that we couldn’t afford, I only said several

words about you. But I couldn’t help it....”

“Beast!” Lorie shouted to Esther, “Fortunately I was not a dotard. If I was, no one can expose what NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

you’ve done!"

“Mum, I knew that you wanted to come back here. It was fine whenever you wanted. I won’t stop you

from living with them. I would come back to see you frequently with Wayne…”

“Stop talking nonsense!” Lorie became angrier at her unreasonable wording intentionally.

Lorie rolled up her sleeves and showed her bruised arms. They looked so frightening.

Miguel got mad when he saw that. Not only he but Michelle and Hannah were also shocked by her

suffering.

Hannah knew Lorie didn’t live well with Roger’s family and she hadn’t thought to save her because she

brought it on herself. However, she couldn’t believe Lorie could be tortured to this point. What Hannah

thought was just some verbal abuse, but something like this.

At this moment, Hannah just looked at it and kept being an onlooker in the end. It was hard for her to

be softhearted for them.

“Did you see it, Miguel? I was abused by Esther. She was the one who abused me! It was all over my

body besides my arms. She pinches me every day in a variety of ways. I was not allowed to cry out in

pain. If I did, she would pinch me even harder.” When Lorie thought of what happened to her, she

couldn’t help crying, “Besides these, they ask me to cook for them every day. If I didn’t cook well, they

throw the food on my face. She commanded me to wash her feet, and face and mop the floor. All this

time, I’ve been like a slave, tortured crazily by their family!”

The more Lorie said, the more excited she became. Probably, she found the opportunity to vent her

anger finally.
