chapter 28 mother-in-law background

"Good, good, good!" Lazar wiped away his tears and hurriedly pulled Eilir into the courtyard. They had only taken a few steps when he suddenly realized something, turned around sharply, and looked at Atius and Nidawi, whom he was holding. "Girl, what did you just call me?" "Great-grandfather," Nidawi blinked, "Daddy taught me to call you that." Lazar choked up again, smiled at Atius, and said, "Grandson-in-law, may I hold the child?" Atius smiled and handed Nidawi to Lazar, "The child from the Seymour family, named Nidawi." "Good, good name!" Lazar suddenly came to his senses, "I'll call Damir right away, he just left a while ago." But the call wouldn't go through, making Lazar puff up in anger. He kept asking Eilir about her experiences over the years, and when he learned about the hardships she suffered at the hands of the Yates family in Yeoannes City, he flew into a rage! He declared that he would go to Yeoannes City to confront the Yates family right away. Upon hearing that the Yates family had offended a powerful figure and had been wiped out, Lazar snorted, "Heaven's wrath is forgivable, but self-inflicted woes are not! It serves them right!" Across the courtyard, opposite was Lena's room. She closed her window, feeling a wave of loss in her heart. According to Eilir, she was the true bloodline of the Yates family in Yeoannes City, but now, the Yates family was gone. Lost in thought, Lazar walked to her room door and gently knocked, "Lena, come out and meet Eilir. This child has had a hard life and has not been well these years." Lena gently opened the door, carrying her luggage and looking at Lazar, "Grandpa, now that she has returned, I will leave first and come to see you when I have time." Lazar's eyes widened, "What nonsense are you talking about!" "Eilir is my granddaughter, and so are you!" At that moment, Eilir also walked over. They looked at each other and both were stunned. The day the Destiny Jewelry Store in Yeoannes City exhibited the Heart of the Galaxy, they had met outside the store. Eilir took Lena's arm sincerely, "Lena, I really hope to have a sister, truly!" Lena instinctively tried to shake off Eilir's hand, but seeing Eilir's sincere gaze, she hesitated. Just then, Atius walked over with Nidawi. Seeing Atius's face, Lena's pupils shrank. Atius looked meaningfully at Lena and smiled, "Stay, Eilir just arrived in the provincial city, you can show her around when you have time." Lena was stunned, then nodded quickly, "As you command!" Atius 'hmphed' and carried Nidawi to see the flowers and plants Lazar had planted. Lazar walked over with a smile, gave Atius a thumbs up, and said, "Grandson-in-law, you are impressive. Lena has been rebellious since she was a child, never listening to anyone, but she stayed as soon as you spoke." Atius just smiled silently. After a while, Eilir came over alone. She looked at Lazar with hope and asked softly, "Grandpa, where is my mom?" Lazar was taken aback, a flicker of discomfort in his eyes, "Your mom, she... well, let me tell you where she is, and you go see her with Atius." Atius frowned slightly but said nothing. A moment later. Atius drove Eilir away. Lena finally let out a sigh of relief and looked at Nidawi, who was squatting in the small garden, playing with the flowers. "Auntie, this flower is so pretty," Nidawi waved to Lena with her little hand, "Auntie, why didn't Mommy and Daddy take me to see Grandma?" Lena sat down cross-legged next to Nidawi, picked up the pot of orchids, and shook her head, "You should ask your parents later." On the other side, Atius drove Eilir across the entire provincial city to a dilapidated neighborhood. Just as Atius was about to take Eilir upstairs, he saw Eilir staring blankly at the mahjong parlor diagonally across. In the innermost seat of the mahjong parlor sat a middle-aged woman with features quite similar to Eilir's. Atius whispered in Eilir's ear, "Go ahead, Eilir, don't be afraid." Eilir nodded, walked towards the mahjong parlor with trepidation. Atius took out his phone and connected a call. "My Lord, it's all clear now." "Maille Lee is actually the youngest daughter of the patriarch of the Lee family in the provincial city." "Back then, she fell in love with Damir in college, married him in secret without her family knowing, and was later expelled from the Lee family because of this." Atius furrowed his brow, "Does Damir know about this?" "Damir is unaware. He's a workaholic, and even though he never met Maille's parents, he never suspected anything." Kaladin paused, then continued, "My Lord, I've also found out that Maille Lee's son is a Peak Earth Rank member of our War God Palace." Atius 'hmphed', "I understand." After hanging up the phone, Atius also entered the mahjong parlor. Maille was already hugging Eilir, crying uncontrollably. As it turned out, upon learning that Damir had taken the wrong child at the hospital, resulting in their biological daughter's whereabouts being unknown, Maille left the Yates family in a fit of anger and had been living alone ever since. Seeing Atius come in, Eilir whispered in Maille's ear, "Mom, this is Atius, Nidawi's father." Maille snorted coldly, didn't even glance at Atius, and quickly walked out of the mahjong parlor with Eilir. "He could abandon you and the child for five years, no different from your father who only has eyes for his work!" "I was blind to marry Damir back then, and I can't let you repeat my mistake now!" "No, it's not like that!" Eilir quickly grabbed Maille, trying to explain, "It's not his fault, back then..." "I don't want to hear it!" Maille yelled, "You're my daughter, and your marriage must have my approval!" Maille was very emotional, pointing at Atius and yelling, "Can you be sure he came back for you? No, he only came back for the child!" "If he had you in his heart, he wouldn't have chosen to leave in the first place!" Eilir was taken aback and couldn't speak for a moment. "My poor Eilir," Maille looked at Eilir's haggard eyes, choking up, "We're both fated to suffer, I don't know what sins I committed in my past life to make you live so painfully." Seeing Maille pulling Eilir into a residential building, Atius hurriedly followed. But Eilir suddenly turned around, her eyes red, and said, "Atius, my mom is a bit unstable right now, I want to stay with her for a few more days." "You go back and take care of Nidawi." Atius paused, then could only smile wryly and nod. Just as he was about to leave, a golden sports car suddenly drifted to a stop downstairs. A young man with slicked-back hair, wearing a gray casual suit, got out of the car. He was smoking a cigarette as he walked upstairs, and soon, Maille's yelling could be heard from the building, "Get out, that belongs to me, and I won't hand it over!" The young man came out of the building with a dark expression, threw his cigarette butt on the ground with force, made a phone call, and said coldly, "Teach Maille a lesson, make her cough up the shares!" "And her pretty daughter who popped out of nowhere, send her to the usual place tonight." After the call, the man got into the car, but suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He turned around and saw Atius looking at him coldly. "What are you looking at! Believe it or not, I'll have someone gouge out your eyeballs!" Uhuro Lee spat out, stepped on the gas, and the sports car shot out. As he was about to drift around the corner, the rear tire suddenly exploded, the car immediately lost control, and crashed into a tree. Uhuro crawled out of the car, his face covered in blood. Seeing Atius slowly approaching, Uhuro roared, "Take me to the hospital, I'll reward you with a hundred thousand later!" Atius laughed coldly and kicked Uhuro's face. Then, Atius dragged Uhuro, who was like a dead dog, into the alley next to them. In the depths of the alley. Uhuro cowered at the corner of the wall, looking at Atius in terror, "Don't come any closer! I warn you, I'm from the Lee family, my father is Darwin Lee!" "If you dare to touch me, your whole family will have nowhere to be buried!" Atius stepped on Uhuro's face, ignoring his struggle. Uhuro's face quickly became a bloody mess, unrecognizable. The terror enveloped Uhuro, he knew he had encountered a real ruthless person who didn't fear the Lee family at all and was truly out for his life. "Big brother, please spare me," Uhuro pleaded, "I'll give you money! A million, ten million! Just let me go, and I'll give you whatever you want!" Atius lit a cigarette, then finally asked, "What's your relationship with Maille?" "She's my father's sister, long ago banished from the Lee family by my grandfather." Atius frowned, "What are you demanding from her?" "Shares," Uhuro dared not hide anything, quickly said, "Although my grandfather banished Maille from the Lee family, he secretly left her ten percent of the Lee family's shares." Seeing Atius interested in this matter, Uhuro hurriedly said, "Big brother, spare my life! Once I get Maille's shares, I'll definitely give you half!" "Oh, and!" "Maille has a very pretty daughter, with a figure even better than those models, I've sent people to grab her, you'll definitely like her, big brother!" A murderous glint flashed in Atius's eyes, the cigarette butt flew out of his hand, and accurately shot into Uhuro's right eye. With a 'pop', Uhuro's right eye burst, and he screamed in agony. Uhuro dared to target Eilir, Atius had no intention of sparing him. With a kick, Uhuro was sent flying, then crashed into a wall. "Bang!" The entire wall was instantly stained red with blood, and not a hair of Uhuro was left. Before long, a black van parked in the neighborhood. Five scruffy youths walked towards the building where Maille lived. It was pitch black in the stairwell. The leader with blond hair laughed in a low voice, "It's so dark, perfect for us to grab someone." Out of the darkness, Atius's cold voice unexpectedly rang out, "It's even more convenient for you to die!"
