Female Novel
Chapter 1733
Cornelius asked, "That lady from the Beckett family has a mental condition?"
"That's right, Grandpa." A vicious look flashed across Zoe's gleaming eyes. She continued, "She and the entire Beckett familyhave been hiding Lauren's condition from you all along. She actually has severe autism. In other words, she is mentally disabled.
"| was in the same middle school as her. At that time, other classmates would call her 'dumb' and ‘idiot’ behind her back. Shealso quit her tertiary studies halfway because of her condition."
"No wonder I've always felt that there was something strange about her every time | met her. Despite being 21... or is it 22? Hermind is still like a child's. Turns out that it's because of her mental problem!
“As expected, Sophia's offspring is indeed problematic! Even though she died, she still left her retarded daughter to wreck myprecious grandson!"
Cornelius started coughing. He was so consumed by anger that he started to feel unwell. He coughed continuously until his facehad flushed red.
Zoe helped to soothe his back immediately. "Deep breaths, Grandpa. Watch your health!""Landon. Does he know about that woman's condition?""Landon is well aware."
Cornelius became even more enraged. More than that, he couldn't wrap his head around it. "He still wants to marry her eventhough he knows about it? He's out of his mind! Isn't he afraid that their children would also be mentally impaired?
"| really don't understand it. As my grandson, he can have any woman he likes. Why is he so fixated on a dumbo?"
“Landon is being tricked by Lauren's naivete. He has had so much fun with glamorous women in the past that he's now unable tostop himself after getting a taste of something plain," Zoe remarked in a scornful tone.
Cornelius’ eyes became bloodshot from fury. He hit his palms against the couch's armrest repeatedly. "The entire Beckett familyis a bunch of swindlers! They think that they can shove their undesirable daughter into our family. In their dreams!
“As long as I'm around, | will never let that woman marry into our family! | will go and meet Newton first thing tomorrow morningand break this marriage off!" "I'm afraid that won't be a good idea, Grandpa."
Zoe knelt down on one knee next to Cornelius. She held his trembling hands and comforted him. "If you go to Mr. Beckett Seniorin such haste, Landon will hear about it immediately.
"You should already know what his personality is like. If he finds out, he will surely cause a ruckus. He's also such good friendswith Mr. Beckett. With him siding with outsiders, we will end up being the ones at a loss."
“My dear granddaughter, you're so thoughtful! How smart of you!"Cornelius started to calm down. He then pressed on, "How about if you come up with an idea for me? How should | handle this?"“Lauren and | used to be schoolmates. Let me find time to speak with her face to face."
When Zoe spoke, her voice was gentle and the look on her face was kind. "I'll tell her how | feel and reason with her. In that way,| hope that | can convince her not to cling to Landon any longer. They will not have a future together."
Cornelius thought about Landon, who had fallen head over heels in love. He couldn't help but feel worried. "What happens ifyou're not able to convince that lady?"novelbin
"Then, | will use the second method—one that is a little cruel and vicious. That said, it is a method that can make them have aclean break."
Zoe smirked slyly. "You just have to wait and see."
