    　　"Okay, Mom," Lance said, a little displeased. "Don't you think about these trivial things all day, okay? She and I have been together for decades, what she does to you is not as serious as you say. Now, let's talk about business."

    　　Suzanne stamped her crutches in dissatisfaction again, but said nothing more.

    　　Liza was very guilty when she heard her husband defend her in front of her mother-in-law. She lowered her head as her eyes suddenly became sore.

    　　Lance took her to the other side of the sofa to sit down, and asked her while holding her by the arm, "What about Selena, did she agree?"

    　　"I'm sorry," Liza whispered. "I'm sorry, I didn't speak to her..."

    　　Before the voice fell, the old lady exploded again, "What? You useless thing! If you can't even handle this little thing, then what's the use of keeping you in my family—?"

    　　"Mom!" Lance interru

    　　He kept avoiding his daughter's gaze, "Selena, you must help me, there's nothing else I can do."

    　　"Thirty million? Did you honestly think that Eugene is personally going to give you the opportunity and capital to fight him back when he plans on ruining the Pei family?"

    　　Lance was silent for a while, and still pleaded, "Selena, as long as you try your best to help, I will think of other ways to save the Pei family."

    　　Selena looked away and couldn't bear to look at her father's fragile hope.

    　　The atmosphere froze for a while, and her heart finally softened. She asked, "What happened to mom when she came home that day?"

    　　"She said she feels sorry for you," Lance replied. "Don't blame her, Selena, she loves you. If you want to blame someone, blame me!

    　　She followed the direction Selena's mother said over the phone and she saw an SUV parked on the side of the road.

    　　The car window lowered, and Selena's mother, who was sitting in the back seat, waved to her.

    　　As soon as Selena got in the car, her mother held her hand with red eyes.

    　　"Selena, my dear, you must have gone through a lot."

    　　Selena was silent for a while. She couldn't explain her own thoughts at this moment.

    　　"Mom, how come you're here?" she asked knowing fully well that her mom couldn't have come without her father's consent.

    　　An unnatural look on Liza's face flashed. She hesitated, but said, "Selena, I knew that you were in the hospital, but I couldn't come and see you. Mother is ver
