Lyric's father stood at the entrance with Ansley and her mother, waiting for them.
Ansley and her mother looked listless and stood there dejectedly.
They lowered their heads and leaned against each other. Seeing that Lyric was with Jasper, both of them looked at her with hatred.
But they didn't dare to make a scene because Javon was there. They came here to beg Lyric, so they hid behind Javon quietly.
Their family was ordinary. Last night, they went back to consult the lawyer, only to know that they couldn't even afford to hire a lawyer, let alone win the case.
Javon insisted on divorcing Ansley's mother, and she was very afraid. Over the years, she didn't earn much money. Moreover, she and Ansley were spendthrift.
If they divorced, she would live a hard life.
"Lyric, Mr. Joye, good morning. Where are you going..." Javon greeted them with a forced smile.
Jasper glanced at them indifferently and did not speak.
Lyric said in a deep voice, "I'm going to the hospital for a check-up."
"Oh, you should have a check-up." Ansley looked guilty. Lyric was injured, but he did not have much time to care about her.
"Lyric, could you give me some time? I have something to talk to you." Javon's expression was cautious, and even his smile was flattering.
Looking at him like this, Lyric was stunned for a moment. In her impression, her father was handsome, confident and cheerful. When he spoke to her, his voice was always mellow and loving.
But his confidence had been slowly eroded by life.
"Dad, do you regret it?" Lyric suddenly asked.
Ansley was stunned. He knew what she meant.
Javon didn't answer her. He was very regretful. He loved Lyric's mother very much. Back then, he didn't even know why he slept with Ansley's mother.
They only slept once, and he didn't expect that Ansley's mother would be pregnant.
Back then, he wanted to hide this matter, but Ansley's mother insisted on giving birth to the child. He had no choice.
When they were lovers, Ansley's mother was quite considerate. She just didn't know how to cook.
However, when they really lived together, he realized that he was wrong. Ansley's mother was not virtuous at all. She was spendthrift, and she was not a good wife.
But they had got married. He had lost Lyric's mother, so he couldn't lose Ansley's mother again. Lyric grew up without a father, and he couldn't let Ansley live the same life.
Ansley's mother stared at Lyric madly. She naturally understood the meaning of her words.
Lyric was as stubborn and straightforward as her mother. Fortunately, her mother left without hesitation at that time. Otherwise, she could not have married Javon.
"Dear, what are you doing? Hurry up and get down to the business." The most important thing was to solve their problem.
She didn't want to go to court. The lawyer told her that she had no chance to win. If she lost, she should pay Eden ten of thousands of dollars. Moreover, it was a case about Alwynn Group, and he didn't dare to help her.
How could Ansley's mother have so much money?
Lyric had a good relationship with Eden. As long as Lyric spoke for them, Eden would not make things difficult for them anymore.
Jasper turned slowly to look at them and said with his eyes full of viciousness, "Do you want Lyric to talk to Eden about what happened yesterday? Let me tell you. Even if Eden can forgive you, Victor will not let you go. Victor loves her so much, and he will feel sorry for her as long as she gets hurt. But you even dared to beat her! If it weren't for Lyric, you wouldn't have been released yesterday."
Ansley and her mother were taken aback. They both regretted their reckless actions yesterday.
How dare she complain to their father!
Javon looked at Jasper. It was too shameful to mention these things in front of him.
He said, "Lyric, I know I shouldn't have begged you, and you're in a dilemma, but I promise that it is the last time. I'm going to divorce Ansley's mother, but I can't do this because of the case. Could you talk to Mrs. Alwynn about this? Could we solve this matter out of court?"
"Javon, you a*shole! What did you say?" Ansley's mother didn't expect that he still wanted to divorce her.
He was serious!
Lyric was dumbfounded as well. She thought that he just mentioned it casually, but he really wanted to divorce.
She was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Javon said, "Lyric, I've been living a tough life these years, because I have to solve various problems for them all the time. I'm tired, and I want to live the life I want."
His words might sound irresponsible, but he was too tired.
He wanted to go on a trip alone, meet Lyric's mother and say sorry to her!
Back then, she left in a hurry, and he hadn't apologized to her!
"Dad, you go back first. I will talk to Eden, but you have to think about it carefully. If no one teaches them a lesson, they'll do more bad things in the future."
Lyric wouldn't be kind to everyone.
Ansley and her mother would never repent.
