Chapter 486 Playing Innocent

In the intervals between the beatings, Yasmine continued to plead in fits and starts.

Even at this point, she still played the innocent, showing that she truly believed in what she was doing. Her conviction was indeed extraordinarily strong.

Niel had attempted to play the hero and rescue the damsel in distress several times, yet he always ended up knocked to the ground.

"Enough, Greta! Enough! Stop hitting her. If you must hit someone, hit me. This has nothing to do with her. It was me who fell for her first!" Niel roared.

Isabella thought, Well, what a hopeless romantic. it was clearly Yasmine who fell in love first, fluttering her eyelashes and casting fonging glances at him, which eventually captured Niel's heart.

Upon hearing those thoughts, Greta paused for just a moment. It was during this brief interlude that she grabbed the table lamp from the bedside table, and without a moment's hesitation, she hurled it directly at Niel.

It resulted in him suffering a bloody injury to his head.

Isabella thought, How absurd. Did he really think that Aunt Greta didn't want to hit him? She just didn't have the time, that's all

Niel was utterly stunned, especially since Greta had merely slapped him several times earlier, never resorting to such severe actions. Clearly, after learning the entire truth, Greta had already lost her mind in anger.

Just then, there was a commation outside the door.

It was Lancelot who had arrived.

After a strenuous journey, Lancelot finally returned, intending to rest. However, he heard a commotion nearby. Filled with curiosity, he approached the scene. Seeing the housekeeper constantly looking upward and hearing the cries of distress, he had a bad feeling. Without hesitation, he immediately rushed over.

Just as he reached the entrance, he was stopped.

Blocking his way were Evian and Janice, who couldn't make their way to the front.

Evian said, "Do you know who you're helping once you go in? If you're still unsure, it's best not to go."

Janice didn't say a word, yet she gave Lancelot a look of concern.

They were afraid that in a moment of impulsiveness, he might hurt his mother's feelings again.

By then, Lancelot had fully realized that his mother must have undoubtedly uncovered the truth.

Lancelot's face was as pale as a sheet, yet he still managed to squeeze himself forward.

Before he could even get a clear look at the situation inside, Isabella, who was standing in front of him, suddenly turned around and blocked Lancelots view.

This time, Isabella was not all smiles as usual. Instead, she spoke with utmost seriousness. "This is your last chance. If you mess up, it would be too late for regrets.

If it hadn't been for Greta's sake, Isabella would have preferred to leave him alone. She thought of Lancelot as someone who lacked empathy, the type who couldn't understand others' pain unless he experienced it himself.

However, she had no choice. Since Lionel was willing to give him a choice, then he should be given that opportunity.noveldrama

In the end, Lancelot still ended up disappointing everyone.

When he saw what was happening inside, he completely forgot the kind advice his relatives had given him just moments ago. He rushed in without a second thought, swiftly grabbing his mother's descending hand mid-air, effectively stopping Greta. He even quickly assisted Yasmine in escaping Greta's grip.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Lancelot was startled. Mom had always been dignified, how could she hit someone like a strew? Looking at Yasmine's swollen face, he could see open wounds on it, and the latter's crying was absolutely heartbreaking. Under such circumstances, how could Mom bring herself to do this?

"Can't you see? Don't you know what happened?" Greta pointed at Yasmine's clothes, bed, and Niel on the floor.

In the end, Lancelot was not an actor. A flicker of surprise crossed his face, and he began to stammer.

He hadn't expected this. Have these two last their minds? They couldn't restrain themselves even in the Quirk manar? He was finding it hard to face the facts.

In the moment of hesitation that seized Lancelot, Greta stood frozen, staring at Lancelot in disbelief.

Isabella thought, Great, our worst fears have come true. Sigh, Lancelot has truly let us down. I hope Aunt Greta can weather this blow Greta's body swayed slightly. Her tears and devastated expression went completely unnoticed when Lancelot entered. He only took note of how his father and Yasmine had been beaten. Lancelot's reaction had made his stance all too clear.

"You knew.. you knew all along and you deceived me with them!"

Upon hearing his mother's sorrowful voice, Lancelot felt his mind thrown into chaos. "Mom, things... things aren't like that."

He felt an inexplicable sense of panic. He wanted to explain but didn't know where to start. In the end, all he managed to say was, "Mom, they... they have it tough too."
