Chapter 1224 - 512: Why Are You Crying?
"No need." Rachel interrupted her nonchalantly. "The misunderstanding has been cleared, but they don\'t need to apologize or do anything. We are not relatives now, so we shall never contact each other forever."
Fanny was in a daze. Rachel was a straightforward woman, so her words would never be mild and indirect.
Now even though Fanny was so humble, Rachel\'s attitude still remained unchanged. Fanny used to be a coward normally. Seeing Rachel was so tough, she began to feel a little terrified in the heart, even forgetting what she should say.
But after a brief silence, Fanny directly began to cry.
"Why are you crying?" Rachel frowned a little irritably.
"It\'s really my parents\' fault, auntie, and you should be angry, but…." Fanny cried even harder, "my parents were beaten by a bunch of hooligans when they came home! My mother is in poor health, to begin with, so she can\'t get out of bed now. I really feel sorry for them. They\'ve known they\'re wrong and wanted to apologize, but why is Hazel\'s husband so unforgiving?"
Before Matt and Emma got home, they were put into sacks, dragged into a corner, and beaten up by a group of men.
The way the other side beat them was very professional. Although it hurt hugely, their bodies didn\'t have any scars.
Although Matt and Emma looked very arrogant in front of the Crowe family, they were very cowardly when they faced other people. They thought that it was because Scott had offended someone that they were beaten, so they didn\'t dare call the police and had to suffer secretly.
However, they asked Fanny to put the blame on Joshua and drive a wedge between Joshua and the Crowe family.
Rachel got even angrier. She hated Matt\'s family, but she thought previously Fanny was a reasonable person. However, Fanny\'s current remark made Rachel completely disappointed.
Rachel was so pleased with Joshua because he had been behaving well these days! But Fanny actually drove a wedge between them.
"What makes you think it\'s my son-in-law who dispatched people to beat them?" Rachel snapped coldly, "Did the hooligans admit it, or did your parents see it? My son-in-law has been looking after me at the hospital with Hazel. How can he have time to pay attention to your family?!
"Also, don\'t think I don\'t know that Scott, who has been hanging out with some hooligans all day long, has caused a lot of trouble and provoked lots of people that he shouldn\'t provoke! In my opinion, it\'s because of Scott that your parents were beaten up! You guys are really cheeky as you even intend to pin the blame on my son-in-law!"
"No, it is not that..." Fanny, who was panicky, tried to explain, but Rachel didn\'t want to give her any chance.
"What then?" Rachel sneered. "I suggest you hurry to call the police! You didn\'t even dare call the police. God knows if your family has done something shady again!"
The next moment, Rachel directly hung up. She really did not want to say a word to Matt\'s family.
"You\'re right," said Rachel, looking very pale. "They know you\'re married, but they still don\'t give up!"
They knew all too well the nature of Matt\'s family. Matt\'s family was extremely overbearing. If they had really wanted nothing of them, he would have made a scene and quarreled with them.
However, after they were reproached and beaten in the ward, Matt and Emma actually wanted to apologize. They wanted to apologize just because they wanted to take the Crowe family off their guard; the Crowe family at least sensed it.
"By the way, what do you think? Matt and they were beaten, would it really be..." Rachel hesitated and didn\'t continue. After all, if she said it, it would sound like she was suspicious of Joshua.
"Mom, I also think it is Joshua who did that," Hazel said, smiling. "He can\'t stand my being bullied. Though he has made uncle and aunt suffer a little before, he certainly feels it is not enough, so it was very likely that he had them beaten up."
"Whether it was him or not, they deserved it!" Rachel said, "I feel delighted to hear that they were beaten up! Why do our family have this kinds of relatives? Besides, I thought at least Fanny was reasonable, but I didn\'t expect the girl would be led astray. Alas…"
Hearing Rachel\'s sigh, Hazel said quietly, "She grew up in a family like that, and of course, she has some ability to protect herself. She looks timid, but she\'s very careful."
Rachel\'s face turned pale because she agreed with Hazel.
They had been cheated by Fanny\'s wounded, honest face until today when she discovered that Fanny was very scheming.
That kind of idea of driving a wedge wasn\'t something that Matt and Emma could come up with. It was likely that it was Fanny who did that, and it was also why she was so good at it.
"Let\'s stop talking about these unpleasant things." Rachel\'s face became gloomy. "I guess they will be restless for a while. I might as well leave the hospital!"
Hazel was silent and looked at Rachel, hesitant.
Rachel thought Hazel was worried about her injury, so she hastily explained, "The doctor said it would be fine for me to recover at home."
Hazel was hesitant for a while before finally speaking, "That\'s not efficient to avoid them like that."
"What do you mean?" Rachel asked in surprise.
"Mom," Hazel said with determination, "I wasn\'t kidding when I said yesterday that I wanted to take you to the imperial capital. I really think that way."
"You wench, isn\'t this also avoidance?" Rachel looked at her, amused.
"But it can solve our problem once and for all," Hazel continued persuading her. "Then uncle\'s family won\'t be able to pester you anymore."
"No way." Rachel shook her head without hesitation. "Hazel, our home is here. I can\'t run away because of someone else\'s fault."
Hazel was unhappy. She was about to say something when Joshua came over.
"Enough, take me back to the ward," Rachel said, apparently not wanting to continue the conversation.
Taking Rachel back to the ward, Hazel managed to find time to take Joshua to the garden. She told Joshua her thoughts, "However, my mom doesn\'t agree, and my dad won\'t absolutely agree either. What should I do?"
