chapter 13 You mean well but you don’t appreciate it

"Timila, you're overthinking it."
"What misunderstanding? I only know that Aunt and Aislin were beaten."
"No matter the reason, hitting someone is unacceptable. It's a matter of principle."
"What do you think?"
Ludolf spoke to comfort.
He was very displeased at the moment, judging from her behavior, she still harbored feelings for that useless man.
After all, living together for three years, even a dog would develop feelings, let alone a human.
Therefore, to prevent future troubles, he must eliminate that useless man as soon as possible!
He wanted not only to have Timila but also her heart!
"Young Master Abbott, you might not understand Christian well."
Timila was somewhat resistant to Ludolf's comfort and sighed, "In his early years, his father disappeared, and he was raised solely by his mother."
"His feelings for his mother are deep. After she passed away, this memorial tablet and urn became his emotional solace."
"But my mother and sister smashed the memorial tablet. How could he not be angry?"
"Nonsense!"
Hortense dismissed it, "It's just a broken memorial tablet, smashing it is no big deal."
"But look at how Aislin and I were beaten. He got angry? Where should I vent my anger then?"
"Mom is right!"
Aislin agreed, nodding, "I don't care, that useless man hit us, he must pay the price!"
"I want him to kneel and apologize. Otherwise, I will not only smash his dead mother's memorial tablet, but I will also dig up her grave!"
"You all!"
Seeing the mother and daughter being unreasonable, Timila was at a loss for words.
But considering their injuries and the need to avoid agitation, she suppressed her anger, trying to stay calm, "Alright, Mom, Aislin, your injuries are severe. Just focus on recovering. I know how to handle this…"
"Useless!"
Before she could finish, through the door gap, Hortense saw Christian coming down from upstairs and immediately scolded, "You mongrel, even following us to the hospital."
"I won't let him off!"
Subsequently, ignoring her injuries, she charged out.
Aislin also saw Christian, and boiling with rage, limped out of bed, following her mother.
"Mom."
"Aislin."
"Come back…"
Seeing the situation turning bad.
With their temperaments, a conflict with Christian could lead to anything.
But before she could intervene, Ludolf interrupted, "Timila, let's go see too."
"I want to know where that useless man got the courage to follow us to the hospital."
"You're just too kind. Kindness is good, but sometimes you need to choose the right person."
"That useless man is clearly harboring bad intentions, ungrateful. If you're soft-hearted towards him, he'll only get worse!"
Saying this, he pulled Timila's hand and walked out of the room.
"Useless brat, as if beating us at home isn't enough, now you want to beat us in the hospital?"
"Fine, if you have the guts, come on!"
Hortense picked up a broom by the door and roared at Christian!
And Christian, waiting for Maryjane to drive him away, was taken aback at Hortense's words, then coldly said, "You’re crazy."
"I came to the hospital to visit a patient, what does it have to do with you?"
Tut's identity was special.
Now with the poisoning incident, he couldn't afford to cause more trouble, so he had the excuse of visiting a patient.
But hearing this, Hortense scoffed, "Joke, what patient could a useless man like you visit?"
"Everyone knows your parents died long ago, and now you're divorced from my daughter, who do you have as friends? Do you think we're fools?"
"Exactly!"
Aislin joined in, mocking, "Not only did you beat us, but you also followed us to the hospital."
"Do you really think the Olson family is that weak?"
"Now my new brother-in-law is here, let's see how he deals with you!"
As she finished speaking, She openly held Ludolf's arm.
And hearing the words 'new brother-in-law', Ludolf was pleased and nodded, "Don't worry, Aislin, I'll decide for you!"
"If that useless man doesn't explain himself, I won't let him off…"
"Heh."
Christian laughed lightly, ignoring him, and looked at Timila coldly, "President Olson, playing quite a game, aren't you?"
"Freshly divorced from me, and you've already brought your lover home."
"While divorcing me, you spoke so righteously, but it turns out you were unfaithful during our marriage, was it just an excuse to cheat on me?"
Timila's face flushed red as she vehemently denied, "Christian, don't listen to my sister's nonsense, Young Master Abbott and I are just friends..."
"Friends would hold hands in public?"
Hearing this.
Timila's face turned awkward, only then realizing that she had been pulled out by Ludolf. Because of the urgency, she hadn't had the chance to let go of his hand. Just as she was about to explain, Ludolf coldly snorted, "Even if we were married, what does it have to do with you?"
"Timila, there's no need to explain to him."
Subsequently, he took a step forward, looking coldly at Christian, and indifferently said, "I don’t have time to waste words with you. Just answer me one thing."
"Now that Aunt Carter and Aislin have been beaten by you, how do you plan to explain this?"
As he finished speaking, the bodyguards he brought along slowly approached Christian.
Christian was unimpressed and coldly said, "Indeed, I need to explain."
"The smashing of my mother's memorial tablet, I won't let it go just like that."
"But first, I need to properly place my mother's urn. Once that’s done, Hortense, you and Aislin will have to kneel in front of my mother's grave to apologize!"
"Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, you want to retaliate against the Olson family?"
Ludolf interrupted, turning to Timila, "Timila, you see now, right?"
"After he beat Aunt and others, he still wants to retaliate against the Olson family. This man is an ungrateful wretch."
"I should deal with him, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"
Timila was stunned.
Her heart was a mix of emotions, initially thinking that her mother and sister had fabricated the story to slander Christian.
But his recent 'otherwise' almost gave the answer away.
Beating her mother and sister was just the start, targeting her and retaliating against the Olson family was his real intention.
"Christian, don’t you think you’re going too far?"
Timila looked at Christian, disappointed, "Just because I divorced you, you take it out on my mother and sister."
"Now you're even thinking of retaliating against the Olson family. How can you be so petty?"
Am I petty?
During our three-year marriage, I didn’t even touch you and still wholeheartedly gathered resources for the Olson family.
If I were petty, after slaving away for the Olson family without complaint or even a murmur of discontent, now to be accused of pettiness?
It's easy to find a pretext for an accusation.
When love is gone, perhaps everything I do is wrong too.
"Think whatever you want."
"We're already divorced. I'm not obliged to explain to you."
"And you can't stop me from doing anything."
Christian took a deep breath, not wanting to argue further, and turned to leave. But Hortense swung a broom at him, "Useless brat, if you don't kneel and apologize, you're not leaving here today…"
"Crack!"
Christian grabbed the broom, snapping it, and pushed her to the ground, "I have other matters, no time to argue with you."
"Remember, in three days, after I arrange my mother’s ashes, you and Aislin will kneel at her grave!"
Having said that, he prepared to leave.
Ludolf's expression changed, commanding, "This is outrageous!"
"He beats people and refuses to apologize, even daring to lay hands, does he really think no one can deal with him?"
"Take action, hold him down!"
"Force him to apologize if he refuses!"
Hearing this, the bodyguards immediately rushed forward.
Seeing the bad situation, Timila urgently shouted, "Christian, stop making trouble, okay?"
"You can't beat them, just apologize to my mother and sister. You don’t need to kneel, but at least show some sincerity."
"Otherwise, I can't help you."
Conflicted about Christian's change, she was internally struggling.
But considering that her mother and sister were at fault initially, she only wanted to deescalate the situation.
However, instead of appreciating her effort, he retorted, "Why should these legs kneel to two despicable people?"
"You!"
Timila was speechless.
She had good intentions to help, but he not only refused her help but even spoke disrespectfully, calling her mother and sister despicable?
