Chapter 16 If You Wanted Me to Leave
Miranda gritted her teeth and her face was full of determination, “Your pregnancy was known all over
the city last time, so Lydia led a hard life after she married into the Randolph Family...” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Patricia forced a wry smile, “Mom, shouldn’t I be the one who suffered and was aggrieved because of
the publicity of the scandal? How could it be Lydia Coleman?”
Miranda rapped the table heavily, “Patricia, don’t forget that you did this, and it’s you who didn’t remain
chaste! And your misconduct had a bad effect on Lydia and her future! There is no doubt that Lydia is
the victim!”
Miranda’s voice was so loud that it echoed through the coffee shop, attracting many curious eyes.
Patricia shook her head with a wry smile. It was the case again! It was ridiculous that she thought her
parents would care about her this time...
“Well, since Lydia Coleman is the one you intend to cultivate as a successor, so you should always
think she is the victim!”
Crack! A sound of slap sounded in the coffee shop.
Miranda withdrew her hand slowly, but her face was full of anger, “Patricia! Lydia is your elder sister.
How can you always call her by her full name?”
Patricia raised her face, which had a palm imprint, and looked at Miranda.
Patricia sneered, “You just go straight to the point. What do you want me to contribute to Lydia this
time?”
Miranda paused for a while. Although she was surprised that Patricia performed so proactive, she took
it for granted that Patricia should make concession for Lydia.
“It’s quite easy. You just leave Midfort City with your baby and never come back!”
Patricia looked astonished, and then there was coldness on her face.
“Leave Midfort City with my baby? Mom, dad, you have kicked me out of the Coleman Family, and now
you even want to drive me out of the city?”
Miranda could not help but pinched her lips. Hearing Patricia’s words, Miranda felt kind of guilty. But the
sense of guilt disappeared at the thought of Lydia’s situation and the future of Coleman Family.
“As long as you leave Midfort City, everything will be all right! Lydia will no longer be affected by your
scandal. Our family will also develop well in the city! Patricia, we’re doing this for your own good!”
Patricia sneered as if she heard the funniest joke in the world.
“For my own good? You have been partial to Lydia since our childhood! You intended to kill my baby
when you knew I was pregnant and you even drove me out of Coleman Family! Besides, you even
want to kick me out of Midfort City! These are what you mean my ‘for my good’?”
Miranda stretched out her hand again and grabbed Patricia’s hand, “If you leave Midfort City, no one
will know what you did in Midfort City. In this way, it’s not only good for you, but also for your baby in the
future! You don’t want your baby to be maligned when he grows up, do you?”
Patricia drew out her hand and looked firm, “You could drive me out because you are in charge of
Coleman Family. But now I’d like to make it clear that you have no right to drive me out, since Midfort
City does not belong to you!”
She said in a cold voice, and then she added, “I’ll never leave Midfort City!”
After saying these, Patricia stood up and intended to leave.
Miranda, who showed a good temper, suddenly changed her attitude. Miranda picked up the hot coffee
in front of her and poured it towards Patricia’s face.
It was too late for Patricia to dodge, and then the hot coffee was poured onto her face, burning her
cheeks.
After doing this, Miranda sat on the ground and patted the ground with her hands, performing as a
shrew. “Is there someone to uphold justice? My daughter is a troublemaker and has done so many evil
things since she was young! She didn’t preserve her moral integrity and flirted with men when she was
in school. What’s more, she was pregnant before marriage and gave birth to a bastard!”
“We don’t even know who the baby’s father is. I have been taking the blames for the sake of my
daughter! But she is not only ungrateful, but curses me for my early death! Patricia, what do you want
me to do? I ask you leave in order to protect you from being hurt by rumors!”
Miranda’s behaviour aroused accusations soon, but the accusation was not targeted at Miranda, but
Patricia.
“How could you do such things and leave the troubles to your parents, and curse your mother? Do you
have no conscience?”
“Well. As an old saying goes, filial piety is the most important among all virtues. Your parents want you
to leave for your own good. Even if you can’t understand them, you shouldn’t curse your mother!
Someone like you will be punished in the hell.”
“That’s it. It’s incredible that she looks pretty and good, but she is so vicious!”
Someone found scolding Patricia couldn’t relieve their anger, so they even picked up the coffee on the
table and poured it towards Patricia, just as what Miranda had done to vent their angers.
Patricia stood there alone, being scolded, misunderstood and even hurt. And the cause of her
sufferings was the woman in front of her, her mother who had been claiming to do it for her sake!
Patricia wiped the hot coffee from her face with her hands. Ignoring her burning face, Patricia crouched
in front of her mother.
“Mother, do you really want me to leave?”
Miranda stopped weeping immediately and then she hold Patricia’s hand tightly, “Of course. I want to
protect you and your baby. Just do as I say and leave here.”
“It’s fine if you want me to leave, but you should compensate me, right?” Patricia felt a strong chill in
her heart, and there was a sneer on her face.
Miranda scoffed at Patricia, and took out a bank card from her bag, “Don’t you want money? Here it is.
There are two million dollars in the card. Take it and leave here right now!”
Patricia looked back and forth at the cars, “You want me to leave just with two million dollars? Isn’t the
Coleman Family too stingy?”
A sly gleam flashed in Patricia’s eyes, “You should give me half of Coleman Family’s property at least?”
“No way! Why should we give you half of our family’s property? Patricia, you just think too high of
yourself!” Miranda said angrily, trying to lower her voice.
Patricia chuckled and a light flashed in her beautiful eyes, “It’s you who ask me to leave. If you give me
half of Coleman Family’s property, I’ll leave at once, but if you don’t...”
