When Charles Thompson and Amber Wood saw the text ssages and photos in Lily Turner's phone, the couple had completely different reactions. The forr's face turned livid with anger, while the latter silently curled her lips in a smile.
Lily Turner observed the changes in the couple's emotions keenly. She wasn't surprised by their reactions. She always knew Amber Wood didn't like her, but she never understood why.
"You brat! How could you do such a disgraceful thing?" Charles Thompson angrily slapped the empty spot beside him. He imdiately picked up his phone to dial Henry Thompson's number, but just as he was about to put the phone to his ear, Amber Wood reached out and snatched the phone from his hand. He was displeased and puzzled, "Why did you take my phone?"
As he spoke, he reached out to grab the phone back from her, but she deftly dodged to the side.
Amber Wood hung up the call that had just connected and replied to Charles Thompson's question, "You have to trust your son. If he's doing this, he must have a reason."
The girl in the photo looked nice. It was unclear which family she was from, but Amber intended to take advantage of this rare opportunity to push the girl in front of her out.
"What reason could he have? He's just being irresponsible and fooling around." Charles Thompson extended his right hand toward Amber Wood, his eyes on the phone tightly gripped in her hand, "Give the phone back."
He couldn't allow this to happen. He had carefully chosen this daughter-in-law, and he wouldn't let his son fool around.
"No..."
Just then, Charles Thompson's phone suddenly rang. Amber Wood brought it to her eyes and saw the na Henry appear prominently. Without thinking, she hung up the call, and to prevent the person on the other end from calling back, she directly turned off the phone.
Seeing this situation, Charles Thompson gritted his teeth in anger. Just as he was about to pounce and snatch his phone back from Amber Wood, he suddenly noticed the phone in his left hand. He realized he had forgotten to return Lily Turner's phone after viewing the ssages and photos, and it could now co in handy.
But as he was about to dial the number, he realized a serious problem: he didn't have the unlock password.
"Lily! Could you help unlock the screen? I need to use your phone for a mont." Unable to unlock the screen, Charles Thompson had no choice but to ask Lily Turner for help with her phone in hand.
When Charles Thompson picked up his phone earlier, Lily Turner guessed he intended to use her phone to call Henry Thompson, which she was unwilling to allow. If it were to call soone else, she would agree without hesitation, but she couldn't accept a call to that person.
But how could she refuse? That was indeed a dilemma.
Just as Lily Turner was struggling with how to refuse Charles Thompson, the landline on the sofa suddenly rang. Before she could react, she saw Charles Thompson reach out and answer the phone.
"Hello! Who is this?"
The call ca so abruptly that, even though Charles Thompson guessed it was Henry Thompson calling, he hadn't seen the caller ID and had to be cautious. It wouldn't be good if he started shouting and it turned out to be soone else.
Henry Thompson didn't know what was happening on this end, but the previous call was too abnormal. He sensed sothing was wrong, "Dad! It's !"
"I don't care where you are now, co ho imdiately!" Charles Thompson said sternly. After finishing, he didn't wait for a response from the other end before abruptly hanging up the call.
