Chapter 166: 0166 If it weren’t for you, how could it have turned out like this_1 Chapter 166: 0166 If it weren’t for you, how could it have turned out like this_1 Edward Wood was beaten half to death by David Wood that very night and then sent abroad.

No one had expected things to develop this way, with Olivia Johnson and Carol Sean not even having time to cry before they found their son (grandson) being sent away.

After the matter came to light, David Wood even wanted to divorce Carol Sean.

Ironically, the root of the issue wasn’t Ellen Young anymore, but rather Edward Wood having offended someone he shouldn’t have.

The Wood Family was thrown into chaos, and when Edward Wood was sent out of the country, Lucy Wood received the news.

Lucy Wood and Felicia Frost also didn’t expect that a single issue could escalate to this extent. What’s key is that David Wood usually doted on his grandson; how could he beat his grandson half to death and then be willing to send him abroad?

Going abroad was always part of the plan, but who would have thought it’d happen so soon.

After all, Lucy Wood was still nominally the daughter of the Wood Family, and such a serious incident naturally required her to return to check on things.

Upon receiving the news, Clinton White decisively made a phone call to Ellen Young, “Tss, Ruffy Smith, that bastard is truly vicious! He even took such an underhanded shot at your brother.”

Clinton White and Ruffy Smith were also classmates after all, having studied together at Hadton.

Because of Ellen Young, they both disliked each other—one couldn’t believe that the other was chosen by Ellen Young to manage the company, and the other thought the scion of a wealthy family was really screwed up, with Ruffy Smith being the most outstanding among them. Back when they were at Hadton, the second-generation heirs from various consortia all looked up to Ruffy Smith, which shows his influence.

Ellen Young also received the news; after all, it couldn’t be kept from her. Ellen Young was cooking at the time, slicing cucumber pieces and even casually popping one into her mouth, “Isn’t that quite normal?”

If you send people to make trouble last night, you should know what the outcome would be.

From this, it’s clear that the Wood Family is really beyond salvation; had they been just a bit calmer, it wouldn’t have come to this point.

David Wood, however, was quite wise. By beating Edward Wood half to death and sending him abroad, he actually saved his grandson.

Clinton White: “How is that normal? He’s your brother, after all. Isn’t this disregarding you?”

Ellen Young: “I can understand your targeting him because you have a feud with him, but if you truly believe what you just said, I would doubt your current IQ.”

Clinton White: “…Heh, I was just saying it casually.”

Clinton White was indeed targeting Ruffy Smith; of course, he knew Ellen Young wouldn’t take this matter to heart. Had she been willing to intervene, the Wood Family wouldn’t be in such disarray now.

The key is, outside there were already a bunch of people hesitating about whether to curry favor with the Wood Family. Now, seeing the Wood Family had offended Ruffy Smith and Ellen Young was not intervening, they could probably sense the direction of the wind and wouldn’t get involved anymore.

Moreover, everyone could see the difference: Edward Wood and the Wood Family were affected, but this did not mean Lucy Wood was affected.

When she returned home, what she saw was a scene of gloomy faces and despair. Grandma Carol Sean was covering her face, crying, Olivia Johnson’s complexion was ashen, and Daniel Wood had gone to the company with David Wood.

Daisy Wood was also at home.

She was the only one who had been involved from the start yet remained detached from it, mainly because Ruffy Smith didn’t even take her into account.

Felicia Frost nudged Lucy Wood’s elbow, and after hesitating, Lucy still called out, “Mom.”

“Why did you even come back? This whole thing started because of you!”

Now, Olivia Johnson was practically driven mad with anger. Her precious son sent away to another country; David Wood said the person offended by him was entirely untouchable. And the root of all this—if Lucy Wood hadn’t insisted on going on that variety show to find Ellen Young, none of this would have happened!
