Chapter 1692: Will You Help Me or Not?

Easton Holmes was truly angered, his words about Athena Linton were very harsh; it was the first time he had spoken to her like that.

Since childhood, he especially loved this sister dearly; although they weren’t biological siblings, in his heart, she was closer than his own sister, because his uncle and aunt treated him like a biological son.

Precisely because he regarded her as a real sister, he didn’t want her to become a woman that others disliked—she hadn’t always been like this.

She used to be obedient, sensible, and adorable, but who knew that after encountering love, she seemed to change into a different person—becoming mischievous and willful.

“I might as well be dead; anyway, none of you want to see me now.” Athena Linton cried, sniffling and sobbing, her eyes glaring resentfully at the man driving.

Easton Holmes felt today must be cursed; within three hours, he’d been yelled at by two women, and he couldn’t bear to be truly angry at either of them.

One was his wife, the other his sister—how could he actually argue with the two of them?

“Wipe away those tears, don’t let your sister-in-law see them, or she’ll think I hit you.” Easton Holmes saw Lily Turner waiting at the gate; before parking, he hurried Athena Linton to wipe away her tears.

His wife would surely think he hit her, and his wife was very fond of his sister. When that happens, his wife wouldn’t give him a good face.

Athena Linton retorted discontentedly, “You didn’t hit me, but what you did was worse than a beating.”

Through her tearful eyes, she also saw the person standing at the gate, instantly feeling like she had support.

“If… if you dare exaggerate to your sister-in-law, I’ll send you to the camp for confinement.” Easton Holmes saw through Athena’s little scheme, slowed the car, and threatened fiercely.

“Hmph!”

Athena Linton snorted coldly at her brother’s threat, but when she saw her brother’s serious face, she immediately backed down, “Okay, I got it, I won’t say anything to the goddess sister.”

Easton Holmes glanced at the subdued Athena and nodded with satisfaction, only then speeding up to quickly park the car in front of Lily Turner.

As soon as the car stopped, Lily Turner came over, and seeing Athena Linton inside, she let out a sigh of relief.

“Goddess sister!”

After getting out of the car, Athena Linton couldn’t hold back her tears anymore and cried into Lily Turner’s embrace.

Seeing this, Easton Holmes frowned—was this girl planning to go back on her word?

Earlier, he had clearly told her not to speak carelessly, not to cry at random, but she didn’t listen to him.

“Athena Linton! You…”

“Don’t call her, can’t you see she’s crying now?”

Lily Turner didn’t know what had just happened; seeing Athena Linton crying so pitifully, she assumed Athena’s sadness was merely because she hadn’t seen Thomas Fisher.

She didn’t think about anything else, and she didn’t have the spare mind to think about other matters at the moment.

“Athena! Don’t cry anymore.”

Lily Turner gently patted Athena’s back, comforting her emotions.

Athena Linton continued shedding tears, raising her head to plead with the goddess sister, “Goddess sister! I want to see brother Thomas, can you help me please?”

Her brother would definitely listen to the goddess sister, if she could get the goddess sister’s support, she could go out.

Athena Linton’s mind was possibly too overwhelmed with sadness, becoming less sharp; Thomas Fisher was Lily Turner’s brother-in-law, how could she possibly take her sister’s rival to see her brother-in-law.
