Seeing the disappointment in Tanya's eyes, Erica felt her heart broken. She was Tanya's granddaughter, but Tanya never stood on her side.
She was a Watkins, and she couldn't stand to be chased out like this!
Erica gritted her teeth and said, "Grandma, if you still want to protect Lynnsey, then I won't be your granddaughter anymore."
However, Tanya said lightly, "Go ahead. You are already Mrs. Lampert. You should visit my house less in the future." She then looked at the servant and said, "Send Mrs. Lampert back."
Erica was so angry that she quivered with indignation.
She was just trying to force Tanya to compromise, but Tanya didn't care about her at all. Erica felt as if she was being slapped hard in the face.
Suddenly, Doug came back.
Seeing Dough, Erica seemed to find support for her and ran over, exclaiming with tears, "Dad, grandma wants to drive me away! She also told me to come here less in the future!"
But Doug frowned and echoed, "You are twenty-eight years old, Erica, you are not a baby! Your grandma is right. The Lampert family has gotten involved in some troubles recently. Listen to your grandma and stay home."
Erica was speechless. How could her father say the same thing!
She wanted to say something else, but Doug hurried into the living room and directly went to Lynnsey, "Lynn, the company has built a sample with the chip you developed. You want to take a look?”
That sample was even more stunning than the product they made before. Not just Doug, everyone in the company was shocked.
They hadn't put it into production yet, but they could tell that this product would become a success when it went on the market.
Lynnsey smiled and said, "No need. Leon has already sent me the video."
Doug had to suppress his excitement when he said, "Lynn, we'd like to invite you to work in Watkins Group as a design engineer. What do you think?"
The smile on Lynnsey's grew, but she still refused him. "Thank you, Uncle Doug. But I already plan to open my own studio. I look forward to becoming your business partner in the future."
Doug was a little disappointed since there were no other talents like Lynnsey in East Plergant. With her help, Watkins Group would definitely become one of the top groups within half a year.
But he couldn't force her to work in the Watkins Group. Since Lynn intended to start her own business, he naturally would fully support her.
Seeing that Doug put all his attention on Lynnsey, Erica was speechless with rage. No matter what it costs, she was going to kick Lynnsey out of the Watkins family!
Before she could find a way to do something, she was sent out by the servant, and the villa finally regained peace again.
Tanya felt as if she had a headache as she said, "Erica has been spoiled. It is impossible for her to change her personality anymore. Just ignore her, Lynn."
Lynnsey said nothing about it. She didn't care what Erica said about her, but Erica shouldn't have called her kids "bastards" all the time.
Sooner or later, Liam and Nicole would grow old enough to tell what it meant. It would hurt their feelings and make them feel inferior to others. Lynnsey wouldn't allow that to happen to her children.
Tanya sighed and asked the servant to bring over a box. When she opened the box, there was a set of emerald jewelry lying in the box, shining.
Tanya stroked Lynnsey's hair and said, "I prepared them for your mother, Lynn. But I'm going to give them to you now. Put them on when you attend the banquet tomorrow night. I have also prepared a haute couture dress for you."
The emerald jewelry was crystal clear and shining in the sun. It looked more like a piece of priceless family heirloom.
But Tanya wanted to give it to her. Lynnsey was moved, "Thank you, grandma."
She put away the jewelry and asked, "Grandma, is the Bridge family also invited to the banquet tomorrow night?"
"Of course not! That family is a bunch of beasts!" Tanya snorted, and a fierce look came into her eyes, "They nearly murdered you back then! But now, the more high-profile your life will be, the worse they will feel."
Lynnsey held Tanya's hand tightly. She knew what to do.
As night fell, the neon lights shone the night sky bright. Before eight, the gate of Watkins villa was already crowded with a long line of luxury cars.
The Watkins' stood in East Plergant as a prominent figure for decades. Almost all the ladies and madame in the wealthy circle of this city were invited tonight.
But no one knew what the banquet tonight was for since the Watkins' kept it quite a secret.
While the guests were enjoying the champagne and having small talks in the yard, the heroine tonight was getting dressed in the dressing room upstairs.
The elegant dark green brocade dress Lynnsey put on tonight had a layer of camellia embroidered on the neckline. A belt tightened her slender waist, and the hemline of the dress hung to her ankle. There were also many camellias embroidered on the dress, along with countless small shining gems that adorned the dress.
When the light was on her head, the gems on the dress were glowing like stars, and so was Lynnsey.
She wore a pair of emerald earrings and an emerald necklace. The jewelry and dress complemented each other, making her look amazingly stunning.
It was exactly what Erica saw when she pushed the door open. At that right moment, she went crazy with jealousy.
How she wished she could tear Lynnsey's dress into pieces and give her a good lesson, but she dared not.
Tanya would kick her out of here without hesitation if she caught Erica messing around again. If so, Erica would become a big laughingstock in this city.
Erica rolled her eyes, and an idea occurred to her. She walked in with a glass of champagne in her hand and said with a smile, "People say that you are the most beautiful woman in East Plergant, and they are right. Look at you, Lynn. You look so stunning even in a regular dress."
Before she finished speaking, she tilted the wine glass in her hand, and the champagne splashed on the dark green dress.
"Oops! I'm so sorry, Lynn. I didn't mean it." Erica said that she was sorry, but the look in her eyes told the opposite.
Since the dress was ruined, she would like to see how Lynnsey was going to stun the guests tonight. It was the first time Lynnsey showed up in public after she came back to East Plergant.
Therefore, Erica wouldn't allow her to be the center of attention tonight.
She was going to make Lynnsey a joke as she used to be four years ago. She was going to make Lynnsey be pointed at and judged by everyone.
"Don't worry about it, Erica."
Erica was interrupted by Lynnsey's voice, and then she heard Lynnsey say, "Every time I attended a banquet, there was always someone who tried to pour wine on me just to make sure I would make a fool of myself. Given which..."
