Cornelius asked, “That lady from the Beckett family has a mental condition?”

“That’s right, Grandpa.” A vicious look flashed across Zoe’s gleaming eyes. She continued, “She and the entire Beckett family have been hiding Lauren’s condition from you all along. She actually has severe autism. In other words, she is mentally disabled.

“I was in the same middle school as her. At that time, other classmates would call her ‘dumb’ and ‘idiot’ behind her back. She also quit her tertiary studies halfway because of her condition.”

“No wonder I’ve always felt that there was something strange about her every time I met her. Despite being 21… or is it 22? Her mind is still like a child’s.

“As expected, Sophia’s offspring is indeed problematic! Even though she died, she still left her retarded daughter to wreck my precious grandson!”
