In the countryside, these people didn’t come often, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t know what those badges represented. So, when she saw them, her face lost some color, and she instinctively hid behind the tall and straight Theron.
With a backbone, she confidently smirked.
“I just said a few honest words, and they couldn’t handle it? They’re just too sensitive! Such a small matter, and they’ve attracted all these people, it’s really ridiculous!”
Theron heard these words, his eyebrows instantly furrowed, and his face darkened.
He spoke in a low voice with a warning tone.
“Mom, say a few words less.”
Those people walked up to Theron and said, “We received a report from the public saying that you were openly spreading superstitious remarks here, undermining social order. Is that true?”
Vanessa’s eyes started to shift, her lips twitched a few times, and she instinctively wanted to deny it.
Glenna didn’t give her the chance, she spoke up first, her voice not loud but every word clear.
“Yes! Just now! Right at the entrance of the mall! She said it in front of many people, and even the police next to her heard it loud and clear!”
After Glenna finished speaking, all eyes turned to Vanessa.

vanessa suddenly grabbed Theron’s arm, “Theron, I’m not making it up! I’m telling the truth! Her family was ruined by her! Her parents and brother were all gone, leaving her as an orphan, that’s the fact.”
Glenna pointed at Vanessa and said, “Did you hear that? This is all about feudal superstition!”
Theron’s forehead twitched, trying hard to suppress the annoyance inside.
But after all, she’s my mom. He took a deep breath and defended Vanessa, saying, “Sir, my mother is old and a bit conservative in her thinking. She didn’t mean it…”
Officials from the Bureau of Investigation interrupted him, saying, “Being old is not an excuse for breaking the law! Traditional thinking needs to be educated and reformed! I heard you are a researcher? Then you should know better, lead by example, and take care of your family!”
Theron’s face turned pale instantly, lips tightly pressed together, and he replied in a deep voice, “Yes, I will talk about my mother properly.”
Officials from the Bureau of Investigation mentioned that Vanessa is after all a military dependent, and their tone wasn’t too harsh, “Since there’s a report, we have to deal with this.”
It was pretty clear that Theron took care of the people..no reported him.
Theron slowly turned around and looked at Lizzie.
He saw her frustration, but by now, it’s pretty much over.
Glenna saw it and immediately stood in front of Lizzie.
“I reported what Lizzie was doing, but it was no use!”

Theron’s gaze went past her and landed on Lizzie.

Lizzie used to be gentle and understanding, always able to appreciate their difficulties. Now she’s become so assertive and disregarding of their future, it must be because she was instigated by the Trevino family.
He frowned, his voice a bit strong, and looked at Lizzie intently, “Lizzie, I want to hear your opinion on this.”
He gave her the steps, as long as she was willing to compromise, he found a way to ease the conflict between her and her mother.
Lizzie looked up, her eyes cold and determined, “If Glenna doesn’t report it, I will.”
She clearly stated her position.
Theron’s dark eyes narrowed, and the little guilt he had left towards Lizzie was extinguished in that moment!
An indescribable anger mixed with irritation surged in my heart.
He lowered his voice and said firmly, “Lizzie, cut some slack. Do you have to make a scene like this? After all, she’s my mom!”
He didn’t understand why Lizzie couldn’t see the big picture.
They are going to be mother–in–law and daughter–in–law in the future. How can she face his mother if they keep their relationship so strained now? How can they continue living like this? Doesn’t she think about their future at all?
Lizzie heard the complaint in Theron’s tone and couldn’t help but
inks there’s a chance between laugh. “Seriously, after all that, he still them?”

Lizzie looked at Theron coldly, “Elder? Theron, do you think she can still be my elder? Should I remind you how my brother died?”
Although Acdan didn’t directly save Theron, they were both on a mission together. When they encountered danger, Aedan voluntarily stayed behind to cover Theron’s escape.
Theron pursed his lips, thin and pale, devoid of color.
“Theron, don’t mention how things are between you and me. When she so viciously trampled on my deceased loved ones, shamelessly insulted my brother who died for the country…”
Lizzie’s gaze was as cold as ice chips, “There’s absolutely no chance between us!”
Theron swayed slightly.
