Chapter 971: Chapter 971: The So-Called Lie_1
But life was harsh and cruel.
Soon, all the large sum of money Lynn Yarn had taken from her family was squandered by the two of them, yet the man’s paintings still didn’t make any splash.
That’s when the real conflict erupted.
The man completely shed his once gentlemanly disguise, shouting angrily and even doubting the origins of the money that Lynn held. If she truly was some so-called rich miss, why couldn’t she produce any money now?
Lynn, in turn, showed no mercy in ridiculing the man, mocking him as nothing but a "painter" who hadn’t even finished middle school and yet fancied himself admired like those famous painters—it was laughable.
From that day on, the pair argued every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday about small matters, and had big fights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, until they eventually even came to blows.
This situation continued unabated even with Louis Snyder’s arrival.
Because the man had developed a drinking problem.
Unable to endure such a lifestyle any longer, Lynn’s remark that "a man from a poor, remote village indeed lacks ambition" became both the excuse and the reason for the man’s violent outbursts.
Louis had grown up in this kind of environment from a young age.
Listening to his mother become increasingly neurotic day by day, reciting her status as the wealthy Yarn Family’s Eldest Miss, claiming that her own sister had stolen everything from her, how her parents were biased, and even gave her own fiancé to her sister.
She likely went completely mad; even though she had regrets and wanted to return to the Yarn Family, what awaited her was only the man’s insults and beatings.
In such a sorry state, reeking of filth, where was there a trace of the former glory of Miss Yarn?
On a rainy night, Lynn put on her best-looking dress and went to her son’s room, whispering into his ear, "Louis, remember that everything of the Yarn family is yours, you must go back and take away everything that belongs to them."
After leaving that final message, Lynn took all the savings in the house and disappeared.
She repeated her old tricks but didn’t forget to plant a timed bomb for the Yarn Family.
Following Lynn’s disappearance, the man took out all his resentment on Louis, day after day of beatings and abuse, all of which Louis silently endured.
He wasn’t that noble; entering the entertainment industry wasn’t just for Tiffany Lynch, but also because it was the only way he, penniless, could get closest to the Yarn Family in the shortest time.
Before he was clear on the Yarn Family’s attitude towards him, he had plenty of patience to wait for someone to take the bait.
In the original story, it indeed played out as Louis had predicted: although the Yarn Family members did not resent him as much as he had expected because of his mother’s identity, they were indeed guarded.
After all, considering the wrongs Lynn had committed in the past, the senior Yarns were not saints and couldn’t possibly have completely let it go, thus they harbored complicated feelings towards Louis, their grandson.
Not knowing how to face him, they chose to keep a polite distance.
There were hardly a few who remembered the absurd events of the Yarn Family’s past, and Louis wouldn’t actively investigate. In his understanding, everything Lynn had said was true.
The Yarn elders favored their eldest daughter, took away everything that belonged to his mother, and even drove her out of the house, ultimately burdening him with such a worthless father, living a life worse than death over the years.
He vented all he had suffered in his childhood on the members of the Yarn Family, just as he had done to the original Hannah Winter.
Unfortunately, none of this could be directly told to Roy Yarn.
