Ruth had waited anxiously all night. The Lovehart family was not at peace either.Denver had committed a hit-and-run and refused to cooperate with the investigation. Thus, he was taken away. Then, the police could not contact the victim and could not confirm the victim’s injuries, so they could not even mediate…Sean personally went to the police station, but he still came back empty-handed. Hence, he rushed to the company and took out all his anger on Lily.“What did you say?”Lily slammed the table. She looked even angrier than Sean.Sean paused for a moment. Then, he said with a dark expression, “I told you to contact your cousin immediately and cancel the report! We can discuss suitable compensation, but she insists on making a big fuss. I’m warning you: you might have to bear the consequences—”BANG!Lily angrily picked up the cup on the desk and threw it at Sean. “I think you’re the one who will have to bear the consequences!”Sean quickly dodged, and the cup brushed past
The bodyguard exerted a little force, grabbed Sean’s hand, and twisted it behind his back. Then, he kicked his knee and made him fall to one knee.Lily paused and looked at the “bodyguard” in front of her.His facial features were well-defined, and his temperament was cold and stern. Why was he so handsome?She knew the bodyguards that Abel had assigned her. She was also familiar with the six bodyguards that Notus had sent. They looked ordinary and had poker faces. They were not this handsome!Sean’s screams pulled her back to reality.Who cared if he was handsome or not? He just had to guard her.“Beat him up!”The bodyguards looked at each other.Notus’s bodyguards were all from the Lovehart family, so they knew Sean. “Miss, this—”They wanted to tell her it was not a good ideaBefore the words could come out of their mouths, the other two bodyguards attacked.After a round of beatings, the office was filled with wailing.The slightly handsome bodyguard was dumbfounded.
“Nonsense! I’m the chairman now. Why should I be afraid of the former acting chairman?” Notus said in a low voice. He kept his tone reprimanding, but he had also said this for Sean to hear.Sean’s face was contorted, and there was a bright red handprint on his cheek.He endured the pain all over his body and stood up with difficulty so that he would not be in such a sorry state. “Notus, what’s wrong with this girl? I need an explanation!”Notus frowned. He was still affected by what Lily had just said and was extremely displeased with Sean’s attitude. “Do I really need to explain things to you?”Sean was speechless for a long time. He pointed at Lily. “This crazy brat not only swaggered into the company, but she behaved atrociously as well! Not to mention that she’s after the family fortune! Shouldn’t you give an explanation to the entire company about her identity and background?”“An explanation? Why are you asking when you already know who I am? You looked into my information
Lily’s clear voice was surprisingly calm.Galen was confused.If he was not mistaken, hadn’t she just found out who he was?Her reaction speed was astounding!Of course, after Notus confirmed Galen’s identity, Lily had put two and two together. Who else had the surname Barker and was a police officer?Moreover, he was here to help her. She had to protect him no matter what!Notus lost his patience at her arrogant and domineering attitude. “Lily! Do you think you’re invincible here?!”Lily’s lips twitched, and her voice was self-deprecating. “Of course not. Isn’t it all up to you whether you want to acknowledge me as your daughter?”Notus’s anger deflated when he heard her calm voice. “Well—”“I don’t think I told you that my mother doesn’t know that I’m here to acknowledge the Loveharts, right?” Lily suddenly said.Notus’s eyes darkened. “You said she would support you.”Lily smiled brightly. “Oh, so you do believe the things I say? Then why don’t you believe me when I say t
Sean opened his mouth, but Lily did not give him a chance to speak. “Listen to me carefully. I am the one obstructing your son’s glorious career! Come at me if you have any dirty tricks to play! Don’t hurt my cousin again!”After saying that, she turned around and walked to the door.When she reached the door, she stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Notus with a subtle gleam in her eyes.“If you still have any feelings for my mother, keep an eye on the Lovehart family and don’t cause her any more trouble! I am here to get to know you, and I am not interested in inheriting the Lovehart family.”The office door closed.Only the two brothers of the Lovehart family and a room full of bodyguards were left.Notus was at a loss. After a long time, he came back to his senses and looked at Sean. “What does she mean? What did you do?”Sean snorted. “You’re so naive. Didn’t you check her background?”Notus was speechless.Of course, he had checked her background. But there was ha
For once, Lily remained silent, her gaze fixed on her phone.After the car drove out, she lost her patience and made a call.After a long while, a gentle voice picked up the phone. “Darling, what’s wrong? Do you miss me?”“Yes, I just suddenly remembered that I haven’t called you in a long time, Mom! How have you and Dad been recently? Did you miss me?” Lily’s voice was sweet and gentle like it usually was.Reina smiled. “I miss you, but who knows about your father?”Lily pretended to pout in dissatisfaction. “Dad is biased. He must miss Ruth!”Reina asked casually, “Aren’t you with Ruth?”“No, she’s with Abel. Why would I be a third wheel there? Anyway, I made a new friend. We’re going on a date tonight.” Lily had never hidden anything from her.Reina quickly understood. “A boyfriend?”Lily said shyly, “No! A male friend!”Reina smiled and said, “Alright. Have fun, but remember to report your schedule to Abel. Don’t run around for no good reason.”Lily said helplessly, “Got
On the way to Kingsland Manor, Lily and Galen did not speak much.However, Galen’s heart, which had been silent for many years, could not calm down for a long time because of Lily’s last sentence.After spending half a day together, he was more curious about Lily.She was brash and impulsive. It was as if she did not think of the consequences of her actions.She was also arrogant, as if she did not care about anyone.However, when Galen thought about it carefully, every impulsive action of hers had actually been planned well ahead.She had attacked Sean in the office just now. She seemed arrogant and cruel, but in fact, she knew very well that she had a chance of winning. She also manipulated Notus using his feelings of guilt.After getting into the car, she seemed to call her mother casually to have a chat. However, after hanging up, her smile disappeared.The cold aura that she unintentionally emitted was different from before.Hence, Galen could not help but try to pry into
Ruth nodded in understanding and was about to say something.Beep! Beep!There was the sound of the door being unlocked. Then, a petite figure entered the house.“Good evening!” Lily walked in quickly. As usual, she seemed a little surprised to see Ruth. “Ruth, why are you back so early today? Didn’t you say that you were going to be late?”“There’s nothing much to do at the training grounds today, so I came back early,” Ruth replied casually.Lily sized Ruth up.Seeing that she was fine, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Ruth was not stupid. If she was really injured, why would she let Denver be taken away by the traffic police? Moreover, Sean had said that Denver did not hit Ruth at all.Lily sat down on the armchair opposite Ruth. “I’m so tired! From tomorrow on, I don’t want to work at Lovehart Corporation anymore!”A hint of surprise flashed across Ruth’s eyes. “Why don’t you want to work there anymore? Is someone looking fo
