Chapter 241 No One Dares to Offend the Wicked
Hellen smiled and nodded. She said, “Didn’t I tell you that I brought a bodyguard? He is also my boyfriend.”
Eddie’s face turned pale. “Have you forgotten how he treated you back then?”
“I did indeed forget.” Hellen nodded.
Eddie gritted his teeth. “He had abandoned you at home and cheated on you with Natalie! Have you forgotten all that?”
Hellen fell silent. Hans’s expression was cold.
“Eddie, I don’t want to mention the past anymore. Strictly speaking, Hans has saved my life many times, so I don’t want to interfere with my choice because of the past that doesn’t exist in my memory.”
Eddie wanted to say more, but a middle-aged woman’s stern voice came from the living room behind him.
“Eddie, is Hellen coming?”
Eddie glared at Hans and said, “Yes, and there’s also Mr. Grant!”
Hellen and Hans entered Levi’s villa.
When they arrived at the dining room, Eddie’s parents did not expect Hellen to come with Hans. Their eyes fell on Hellen holding Hans” arm.
The taunting rejection she had prepared all day was for nothing.
Eddie’s father was the first to react. He stood up and said with a smile, “I originally wanted to invite Hellen over for a family meal, but I didn’t think that Mr. Grant would grace us with your presence. I didn’t prepare well enough. Mr. Grant, I hope you forgive me.”
Hans’s expression was indifferent.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Hellen stood there, looking at them.
The Jovano Group and the Levi Group were friendly business partners, but the Grant Group differed. Hans had deliberately suppressed the Grant Group before. During that period, the Grant Group had no way out and could only rely on its cooperation with the Jovano Group.
Hellen sighed in her heart.
Indeed, no one dared to offend the wicked.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious. The Malicious Banquet that Hellen thought did not happen.
Mrs. Levi beamed merrily and picked up chopsticks and took food for her every minute.
“Hellen, you currently need to eat more to replenish sufficient nutrients.”
Mrs. Levi smiled with concern.
Hellen said with a smile, “Thank you, Mrs. Levi.”
Hans sat on the right side of Hellen, while Eddie sat on the left.
Hans skinned shrimps and put them in Hellen’s bowl. The silent communication between the two made Mr. and Mrs. Levi more relieved.
In the next second, they saw Eddie put a meatball into Hellen’s bowl.
Hans’s cold gaze and Mr. and Mrs. Levi’s angry gazes fell on Eddie at the same time.
But he didn’t care at all.
“Hellen, I read a book about pregnant women a few days ago. You need to eat more meat.”
Mrs. Levi was the first to speak up. “Eddie, don’t you have any manners? Hellen’s taken care of by Mr. Grant. What are you doing here?”
Mrs. Levi’s reprimand took Hellen aback.
When she and her brother attended some dinners of friends and relatives when they were young, even if they did something wrong, their mother taught them warmly in a low voice.
However, Mrs. Levi’s words were harsh and her voice was biting. She did not give Eddie any face.
Eddie said indifferently, “I’m just serving Hellen some food. You’re too nervous.”
Mr. Levi said with a dark face, “Is your mother wrong to educate you? You’re so old and still ignorant!”
The atmosphere at the table immediately became tense. Hellen felt as though she couldn’t eat anymore.
If it weren’t for her and Hans, she suspected that Mr. Levi would have flipped the table.
Eddie slammed his chopsticks heavily on the bowl, producing a crisp sound.
Mr. Levi stood up and shouted, “Eddie!”
Hellen was speechless.
She almost choked. What kind of devilish family atmosphere was this?
Hans’s eyes turned a little cold and he reached out to rub Hellen’s back.
“Mr. Levi, please calm down.”
Mr. Levi sat down with a cold face.
Mrs. Levi glared at Eddie and said, “It was for the sake of Mr. Grant and Hellen that you were spared!”
Mr. Levi grew angrier when he saw Eddie’s indifferent expression. He said coldly, “If you want to eat, eat properly. If you don’t want to eat, go back to your room.”
Hellen couldn’t eat anymore.
After dinner, Hellen bade Eddie’s parents farewell and left.
She and Hans had just walked to the front door of the Levi’s when Hellen realized that her phone had been forgotten at the dining table.
“I forgot my phone at Levi”s. Let’s go back and get it.”
Hellen and Hans had just arrived at the entrance of Levi’s villa when they heard a crisp sound.
Someone had smashed something in the room.
Eddie’s mocking voice rang out. “Haven’t you two discussed how to force Hellen to leave before she arrived?”
“Why have you become so gentle and polite after seeing Hans? Now that he has just left, you’re throwing things at me. You change your face so fast.”
“Eddie, you unfilial son! Get lost!” Mr. Levi scolded him softly.
“I really owed you in my previous life! Can you be a little more sensible? If you had told us earlier that Hellen and Hans were together, would we have made such a big fuss tonight? I don’t ask you for anything else. It’s enough that you have half of your brother’s sensibleness!” It was Mrs. Levi’s voice.
Hellen held Hans’s hand tightly.
Although she grew up in a single-parent family, her mother was loving and her brother always doted on her.
The outsiders all said that she was the pearl of the Jovano family. There was nothing wrong with that.
So she couldn’t imagine what it would be like to live in a family with a terrible atmosphere.
Earlier, when Everet mentioned the stories of Eddie’s parents, Hellen only felt that these parents were very weird and had sympathy for Eddie.
But today, at the dinner table, she felt the tense and terrible family atmosphere. She just sat there and had dinner, but she lost her appetite!
Eddie had lived here for more than twenty years!
Hellen pursed her lips and didn’t move.
Hans glanced at her sideways and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. I just feel that Eddie lives very hard,” Hellen said flatly. “I’ve always treated him as a friend, a very good friend.”
A smile appeared on Hans’s face.
“I know.”
The argument in the house continued. The sound of things breaking up again. Hellen frowned.
Eddie’s mother let out a sharp roar.
“Every time mentioning your brother, you just look indifferent! I don’t think you have the heart at all! Your brother was probably killed by you!”
This sort of provocative remark caused Hellen’s heart to turn completely cold.
She instantly brought herself that if Joanna said that to her, she might even have no hope of surviving.
Hellen pulled Hans and strode into the villa.
