<h4>Chapter 215: Chapter 212: Fruitful Gains</h4>


    Once they reached the room, Hannah Collins opened a photo on her phone to show her.


    At first nce, it was clear it was a notice.


    The content was as follows:...


    After investigation...


    One of the charred bodies, after DNAparison, was confirmed to be Shane Southwell, a wanted criminal in our city.


    This news exploded in Elliana Lyle’s mind, and she looked at Hannah Collins in disbelief, asking, "He’s dead?"


    Hannah Collins nodded, "Yes, DNAparison, it’s unmistakable."


    "Alright, I understand." Elliana stared at the notice, still somewhat unable to believe Shane Southwell was dead.


    It was quite strange; Shane Southwell was always such a cautious person, why would he do something so risky?


    But since it’s a notice from Galen Collins, it can’t be wrong. Though she felt it didn’t quite satisfy her sense of vengeance.


    Dead is fine; a life for a life.


    ...


    After the funeral was over, the family gathered together again. Joy Lyle took a nap and looked much better.


    "Elliana,e over, sit next to me."


    For some reason, Grandma Lyle actually asked her to sit next to her, which made her inexplicably nervous.


    But she had to obey as it was her elder, so she listened and sat over there.


    Grandma Lyle looked at her intently for a long time, and for the first time, her wrinkled face looked kind in front of her.


    "You’re not getting any younger, and there’s no oue with that kid from the Bet Family. It’s better to break it off. I think your Uncle Li’s child is pretty good. He’s a producer, and your aunt says it won’t conflict with your work."


    After saying this, the olddy patted her hand, speaking earnestly, "You should consider it."


    So that’s why, it turns out there was an ulterior motive. Since it had been brought up, she wasn’t as nervous anymore.


    She confessed, "Grandma, Norman Bet and I have already registered our marriage."


    As soon as these words came out, everyone except Shawn Lyle looked astonished, as if they had heard something unprecedented.


    Belle King hesitated for a moment, but seeing the expressions of Ada Lee and her daughter, she immediatelyughed, "Young people these days love this quick marriage thing."


    Then sheughed at Grandma Lyle, "Mom, this is a good thing. Maybe next year you’ll have a big great-grandchild to hold, how lively."


    Belle King was getting more and more pleased with her words, but Phoebe Lyle couldn’t help but cough lightly, making it obvious that Grandma Lyle was angry, even her nostrils red.


    "You! Kneel down for me!"


    This loud shout not only startled everyone in the room but also wiped the smile off Belle King’s face.


    Elliana looked at the olddy pointing at her. After hesitating for a moment, she knelt down in the middle of the room.


    The olddy had high blood pressure, and Elliana was truly afraid that she would get angry and something would happen. Besides, ording to hierarchy, she also had to kneel.


    "You ungrateful, disobedient thing! Getting married behind the family’s back! Aren’t you ashamed?"


    Seeing this, she immediately looked at Shawn Lyle with a wronged face, then started crying.


    She said, "It was Dad who wanted me to quickly marry Norman Bet, and Dad knew about Norman and I getting the marriage certificate. Dad said he needed the Bet Family’s money, and after marrying Norman Bet, I...."


    She stopped mid-sentence, of course, it’s not something she made up. From a conversation between Norman Bet and Raymond Wood, she learned that the Lyle family was now in serious debt, and Shawn Lyle was asking Norman Bet for money.


    The olddy was stunned after hearing this, then looked straight at Shawn Lyle.


    "Mom! Why are you looking at me like that? I really don’t know..." Perhaps the olddy’s gaze was too gloomy, making Shawn Lyle shiver as he spoke.


    After all, he had feared her since childhood, even now as a middle-aged man, the fear remained.


    "Second Uncle, no matter what, Elliana couldn’t possibly lie about something like this." Phoebe Lyle suddenly supported her, turning the situation aroundpletely.


    Shawn Lyle red angrily at the kneeling person, then walked over in two strides, "I’m your father, and you even dare...."


    Before finishing speaking, as soon as Shawn Lyle got closer, Elliana protected her head tightly, crying unstoppably, "Dad, don’t hit me, I won’t say anymore, I shouldn’t have said anything...."


    "You...." Shawn Lyle was utterly speechless, unable to even defend himself.


    They all liked to put on a show in front of Grandma Lyle, so she decided to act once too, just to see who did it better. She nced at everyone out of the corner of her eye.


    Not to mention Phoebe Lyle and Joy Lyle, who looked at her with full sympathy, even Christopher Lyle furrowed his brows.


    Vaguely, she felt a rather cold gaze, and upon looking, she found it was Ada Lee ring at her.


    <fnc483> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? FιndＮovel</fnc483>


    Ada Lee was no longer fanning the mes as usual, instead remaining silent, though her eyes were red.


    "Grandma, how could Sister Elliana lie about marriage? Look how scared Sister Elliana is; Second Uncle must often hit Sister Elliana."


    As soon as Christopher Lyle finished speaking, Shawn Lyle red at him angrily, then quickly looked at the olddy, "Mom, what is this wretched girl saying! I really don’t know."


    However, this time, it was clear that Grandma Lyle didn’t believe Shawn Lyle, angrily shouting, "No matter how outrageous she is, she’s still a pure young woman. Without your permission, could she just get married like that?"


    "Mom, I... I really didn’t know."


    For once, Shawn Lyle experienced what it was like to have a silent sorrow, as before, it was Elliana who struggled to exin herself, not Shawn Lyle.


    At this moment, Belle King seemed to remember something, looked at Shawn Lyle, and with a mindset of delighting in his misfortune, said, "Mom, you also know, Elliana never wanted to marry Norman Bet. Didn’t she once lock Ada and Norman in a room together before? Mom, have you forgotten?"


    Mentioning this further confirmed the matter, Grandma Lyle gritting her teeth pointed at Shawn Lyle, every piece of flesh on her face trembling, "You scoundrel, even willing to sell your own daughter! Is our Lyle family about to perish or go bankrupt? Huh?"


    Perish it won’t, but bankruptcy is just a matter of time, a slow death.


    Of course, Shawn Lyle couldn’t see the situation clearly and still believed the Lyle family could make aeback, thinking as long as the Bets supported them.


    At this point, Shawn Lyle couldn’t argue back. The more he exined, the worse it got, so he knelt in front of Grandma Lyle, saying, "Mom, it was me who got carried away for a moment. I was also upset by this girl. You don’t know, this girl didn’te home for the night, went to those kinds of ces, and I just got anxious."


    Elliana didn’t expect Shawn Lyle to admit his mistake so quickly?


    But she was not someone easily bullied.


    So she widened her teary eyes in disbelief, "Dad! Wasn’t it you who made me stay at the Bet’s? You forced me to go there, boo-hoo―――."


    Crying filled everyone’s ears, and Grandma Lyle sighed deeply at the end, "Such sin!"


    Then, she looked at her with loving pity, saying, "Elliana, once a girl is married off, she’s like spilled water. Since you’re married now, just live well at the Bet’s. Grandma knows you’re aggrieved. When you leave, take a dowry so you won’t be without support. If things really be unbearable,e back, and Grandma will take care of you. There’s no need to fear what the Bet family says."


    "I understand, Grandma, I’ll listen to you." As things were concluding as she had predicted, Grandma Lyle was most opposed to women divorcing. No matter how much they were bullied at their inws, they couldn’t leave.


    Just like her little aunt who wanted a divorce a few years ago and was almostpletely driven out of the Lyle family by the olddy. Later, the little auntpromised, and the olddy let her move back in.


    The implication being that living separately was possible, but a divorce was not.
