15 015 The wicked take the initiative to complain

When the two of them got home, Samuel Smithson put everything away and then looked at Lucy Sullivan's slightly pale face, softly instructing her, "I'll go return the car, you get some more sleep."

Lucy nodded.

Actually, it wasn't that she was feeling unwell, it was just that the ride had been very bumpy and had left her feeling a little nauseous; there was no need for her to go and lie down to sleep. But since Samuel Smithson told her to rest, she felt comfortable doing so.

So when Samuel Smithson stepped out of the house, Lucy lay down on the bed.

Originally, she had only intended to rest for a while and then get up to prepare lunch, but listening to the cicadas outside, she unknowingly fell asleep.

Not knowing how long she had slept, Lucy was woken up by an urgent knocking on the door, and the person outside kept shouting something.

She was naturally a bit grumpy when waking up, so she turned over irritably and muttered, "Samuel Smithson, someone's here, open the door."

But there was no response, and the knocking didn't stop either.

Helplessly, Lucy had to climb down from the bed and open the door to the courtyard.

There was a young man standing outside the door, with the same crew cut as Samuel Smithson, but he was not as sturdy, thinner, darker, like a monkey, and without the frailty of Albert Hudson.

Lucy remembered that he should be the man who came looking for Samuel Smithson yesterday morning, "Are you looking for Samuel Smithson? He's not home right now."

Edward York was initially furious, his Brother Samuel being surrounded by a group of people, all because of the woman in front of him. But when he actually saw her, he lost all his anger and couldn't say a harsh word.

Honestly, he and the villagers had disliked Lucy. Not only was her style unattractive, a city girl who might kick his Brother away when she couldn't endure the tough life. Just a few days ago, she chased after Albert Hudson and tripped up Eleanor Thompson, then turned around and married Samuel Smithson. Who knows if she'll end up fooling around with another man in the future?

But looking at the small woman in front of him, with her white face and black pupils, she was really beautiful, no wonder his Brother Samuel had fallen for her.

Seeing that the man continued to stare at herself without speaking, Lucy raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "Hey! I told you Samuel Smithson isn't home. If you have something to say, you can tell me, or you can come back later."

Lucy should've been angry for being stared at, but since the man was Samuel Smithson's friend and didn't seem to have any malice, she held back her anger.

Edward York came to his senses, looking somewhat embarrassed, "Ah, Brother Samuel is not home." Then he suddenly remembered the urgent matter, "Ah, no, my Brother is being blocked in the village, come with me quickly."

Lucy frowned, "Don't be impatient, tell me calmly, who blocked Samuel Smithson and why?"

In her impression, Samuel Smithson didn't have many friends, and the villagers didn't get close to him because of his family's troubles. But since his craftsmanship was good, he could fix anything that broke at anyone's house. So, nobody would ever openly confront him. How did he get blocked now?

Hearing Lucy asking this, Edward York was clearly somewhat unhappy, complaining, "Isn't it all because of you!"

"Me?" Lucy didn't understand how she could have offended anyone.

Edward York sighed, "Isn't it all because of Albert Hudson? He's leading the villagers to say Brother Samuel..."

"What did they say about him?" Lucy was getting impatient, Samuel Smithson was usually quiet but not always unfinished like this.

"They said he raped you, forced you to marry him, and in reality, it was all to deceive you and take your money." After saying this, he stared at Lucy resentfully, as he struggled not to doubt whether this woman and Albert Hudson had conspired this together.

Lucy almost laughed in anger, Albert Hudson was cheating on other girls for money and sex, but now he turns himself into the victim, and the audacity was truly extreme.

"You wait here for a moment, I'll go in and get something, and then we'll go over there." Lucy had intended to go with Edward York right away but suddenly remembered something, telling him to wait and went back into the room.

Edward York stood in front of the gate scratching his head and cheeks. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lucy and Albert Hudson were in cahoots. Look at how unconcerned she was, he almost felt like beating her up right now if he weren't holding back.
