He furrowed his brows."Why would you say that?" he asked, genuinely perplexed.Lydia's expression remained stern as she replied, "You should have intervened before Joel smashed the bottle on him.

Joel knew his days were numbered after finding out that Lydia was ignoring him. He immediately put in work and successfully scammed her, as she withdrew all her money from her bank using his accomplice. He also decided to run away with the money from her family, the money he took from them in the name of investment.(After 2 days)Lydia sat in her office, resting on the chair, swirling around.
