Chapter 158
She looked up and saw Theron seeing the guests out, with Lizzie standing by watching.
She didn’t want Lizzie to see her excitement!
She bit her lip, took a deep breath, and tried to comfort Vanessa, “Mom, don’t be like this. The floor is cold. Whatever it is, we can figure it out slowly. Let’s get up first. Acting like this won’t help Theron, it will only embarrass him.”
But Vanessa wouldn’t listen, she kept crying and shouting.
“Why am I so unlucky! Theron finally became a professor, all thanks to Lizzie’s tricks! She just can’t stand to see Theron doing well!”
Theron came back, Johanna loo
at him for help.
He saw it and furrowed his brows. Subconsciously thought, “If it were Lizzie, she would have handled it long ago.”
Although Lizzie hadn’t married him yet and hadn’t dealt with these things, he just had this feeling, like at some point, Lizzie had taken care of household chores for him.
Johanna understood from his eyes that she didn’t have the same look as Lizzie, which made her even more upset!
Even though Lizzie didn’t do anything, why does he think she’s not as good as Lizzie!
Theron’s gaze swept over the messy banquet scene, feeling a tightness in his chest.

There was a hint of… a strange sense of relaxation.
He didn’t actually want to have this wedding, it was his mother who insisted on it.
More importantly, he felt like he owed Lizzie a wedding and shouldn’t be preparing one for another woman.
“I’ll go pay first.” Theron avoided Johanna’s plea for help, went to the cashier, and settled the bill.
Then he walked over to Vanessa, reached out and pulled her up, “Mom, let’s go back, stop making a scene, everyone is watching.”
When I was getting ready to pull Vanessa up from the ground where she was still crying.
Vanessa suddenly stopped crying, her eyes were like poison, staring fiercely at Lizzie not far away.
“Lizzie!”
Vanessa shouted and jumped up from the ground like a crazy bull, roaring as she lunged fiercely towards Lizzie.
“You hurt my son, I’m gonna fight you!”
Lizzie instinctively stepped back, but her legs wouldn’t move easily. When she did move, she almost tripped over herself.
Oswaldo immediately pulled her and dragged her behind himself.
Theron reacted almost instantly when Vanessa moved, and just as Vanessa was about to pounce on Lizzie, he used all his strength to firmly hold her from behind.
“Mom!” Theron got really angry, “Stop messing around. In the end, if

it wasn’t for you provoking Lizzie, none of this would have happened!”
He dragged Vanessa out of the restaurant, “Come on, I’ll buy you a train ticket, you’re going back now!”
As soon as they left, Lizzie immediately called Vivian back.
She wasn’t affected at all by what just happened, she was happily feeding Vivian while enjoying her own meal.
She finished eating and turned to Zackery, who was also busy eating.
“Zackery, I have a question for you.”
Zackery and she were close, and she didn’t care. “What’s up, Lizzie? Just tell me, I’ll definitely spill all the beans.”
Lizzie hesitated slightly, “I wanted to ask you, does Mr. Guinn have any favorite things?”
Upon hearing this, Zackery paused with the fork halfway to his mouth, looking a bit puzzled.
“What were Mr. Guinn’s preferences?”
He scratched his head, trying to think hard.
“Well… it’s hard to say. He’s a mysterious guy, always deep in thought. Besides work, he’s a total enigma. I can’t figure out his preferences.”
Suddenly, he stared at Lizzie.
Lizzie touched her face and looked down at her clothes. Did she get food on herself? Why was he looking at her like that?
“You called Mr. Guinn before and now you’re asking about his preferences.”

He stared at Lizzie intently, with a look of gossip in his eyes.
“Lizzie, you and Mr. Guinn were not getting along!”
Zackery’s probing gaze was almost burning two holes in Lizzie.
Lizzie felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze, so she cleared her throat and calmly explained.
“Mr. Guinn helped me out before, so I wanted to give him a little thank–you gift.”
Zackery drawled, “Oh…” His eyes were so full of meaning, you could practically pull it out like a thread.
He narrowed his eyes and blinked, “So it’s that simple!”
Lizzie looked at him calmly, “It’s just that simple.”
Beside, Vivian, who had been quietly eating, looked up with her chubby face.
She blinked her big eyes earnestly at Lizzie, “Lizzie saved Vivian too, but Vivian hasn’t thanked Lizzie yet.”
Vivian put down the spoon, furrowing her brows in distress.
“What did Lizzie want?”
Lizzie looked at her soft appearance, her heart softened all of a sudden.
