Chapter 618

As Lydia expected, Tristan’s return was more than just a furious outburst.

Inside the Walton family’s iron prison, Lydia was hung from a wooden frame. It was the same burly man who had whipped her at the Walton family’s forest villa last time, using the same whip.

Her father, Tristan, sat opposite her, just like last time.

Maybe he was hitting her too hard. This time, even the whipper couldn’t bear to watch. As Lydia was about to die, he stopped. “Mr. Walton, a few more lashes and Ms. Walton will die.”

Tristan glanced irritably at Lydia, whose body was covered in wounds from his beating again. He snorted coldly and stood

up.

Step by step, he walked up to her. “I’ll ask you again. How could you be so easily forced by Arthur’s people to reveal your mother’s true identity?

“How have you been handling things all these years? Do you know what this means? It means he has seized my weakness.

“Now that the matter is known to outsiders. Tell me, how should I clean up this mess? What will people think of me?

“Tell me, how am I going to compete with Arthur next month? Since you were a possible. Yet you turned out like this. What are you thinking?”

Hearing these words, Lydia lifted her head with great effort.

child, I have trained you in every way

Instead of answering his question directly, she slowly opened her mouth and poured out everything she wanted to say, “Are you like them, thinking that I am just a lowly dancer’s child, with the same lowly blood in my bones?

“That’s why you’ve never cherished me. Do you remember how many times you’ve hit me over the years? I remember it, and very clearly.

“Not in my head, but in my heart. Every time you hit me, a scar appears in my heart. As of now, my heart is already riddled with holes.

“You brought me to Clusia and raised me in the Walton family just to cultivate me into a chess piece to listen to you. Am I right?”

Tristan didn’t know that Lydia would actually say these things to him. While he was angry that she didn’t answer his question directly, he was also thinking about every word she said. He thought, ‘A chess piece, is she? Of course.

That’s what he brought her back to Clusia for in the first place, but thinking that she was still useful, he couldn’t say these words at that time.

He just glanced at the time on his watch and dropped a sentence, “These are not for you to ask, and of course it’s not what you think.”

“I have something to do today, so I’ll spare you this time. Next time the same thing happens, it will definitely cost you your life. Tie her up.” After saying that, he didn’t even look at her, and directly left the iron cage and walked out.

Lydia must be very tired this time, she closed her eyes tightly, and couldn’t see what she was thinking.

As soon as Tristan stepped out of the iron cell, he bumped into Stella, who was walking towards him. “Tristan,” she called

out.

Chapter 618

Upon seeing Stella, Tristan’s previously pained expression quickly transformed into a warm smile. “Oh, Stella, what brings you here?”

“Is Lydia alright?” This was the first time today that Stella had asked about Lydia.

Tristan smiled gently at her. “She’s fine. She’s strong and will recover soon.”

Stella nodded. “By the way, Tristan, I wanted to ask you, do we, the Walton family, really have to be at odds with Arthur over a matter of power?”

“What do you mean by ‘at odds? We’re not. It’s just fair competition. He has his methods, and I have mine.

“He took my daughter, so I took someone he cares about. It has always been an inevitable part of the power struggle among lords throughout history.”

Stella’s heart skipped a beat when she heard her brother mention someone Arthur cared about.

“Someone Arthur cares about… Who could it be? His parents? His son? Or…” Stella didn’t dare to continue.

Tristan glanced at her and said directly, “It’s Claire. She’s the only one Arthur cares about right now. Claire went to Dorian’s island a few days ago, and Arthur followed her right after.”

“A man in power, instead of handling government affairs in broad daylight, early in the morning, follows her around and claims not to care. Who believes that?” Tristan rambled on and on, observing Stella’s reaction as he spoke.

He continued, “To be honest, I envy Arthur. You know I have feelings for Claire. Now that she has given birth to Arthur’s son, they will end up together sooner or later.

“I know Arthur. He’s a responsible man. If he’s re–elected next month, the first thing he’ll do is marry Claire.

“Let’s not even talk about the fact that Claire is divorced. Just her looks alone, and the support of Cherise and Morris, who wouldn’t want to marry her?

“I would like to, but unfortunately, I don’t have that kind of luck. I can only silently envy Arthur. When that time comes, Claire will be the universally admired Mrs. Jarrett.

“To be honest, they are a good match. They look good together, both in terms of appearance and other aspects.

“What do you think, Stella?

“Oh, I forgot about Stella. It’s all my fault. I’m so busy lately that I forget you also have feelings for Arthur.”

As Tristan was speaking, Stella was consumed by jealousy and distraction. When she finally heard him address her, she absentmindedly replied, “Yeah.”

It was such a perfunctory response that Tristan immediately understood the meaning behind “Yeah.” He patted Stella on the shoulder and said, “Alright, I still have things to do, so I won’t stay any longer.

“Don’t worry about Lydia for now. She will come to me when she has thought it through. I’m leaving, so comfort Mom and Dad. You should get some rest too.”

Stella stood frozen in place. She didn’t say goodbye to her brother, nor did she agree. She just stood there, her eyes lost in thought. No one knew what was going through her mind.

Tristan, who had already walked away with his back to her, glanced back at her again when he reached the corner and turned around, before walking away without looking back.
