Luna choked. It was as if she was forcing herself to calm down.After a while, just as Aquilo looked at the screen and was about to hang up, her choked voice sounded again. “So, you believe this report too, right?”Aquilo looked down at his toes and said calmly, “You should have been prepared for these results a long time ago, right?”His father’s attitude toward Lily was completely different from his attitude toward Luna.Before today’s report came out, this was the case.However, Luna did not make a fuss and accepted it silently. She only occasionally used her status to argue with his mother.In the past, he had thought that she had been bullied by his mother and sister, which was why she did not dare to fight for her rights. However, the phone call yesterday made him think of something else.Perhaps she had always known her real identity and his father’s intentions and was willing to be the fake daughter of the Lovehart family.“How could I have been prepared? I have nothing
After the news was released, the Internet exploded.People were still so shocked at the turn of events. They were even more shocked when they saw how decisively Notus appointed Lily to be the head of the Lovehart Corporation.“Lily, you’re awesome! You have a clear goal and can achieve your dreams!”“If you have powerful in-laws and a father who is a hereditary duke, you can get whatever you want!”“I almost forgot that she used to be the little princess of the Cavendish family! How did she suddenly become the real daughter of the Lovehart family? This is so unbelievable!”“Am I the only one who’s curious about what would happen to Luna?”“How exactly did they get it wrong? How did they not know that Luna was lying?”“I remember that Aquilo personally found her because of a pair of earrings! [Picture jpg.]”“F*ck, I’m a friend of Ruth’s friend. I heard that this pair of earrings belongs to Ruth! B*tch Luna always likes to take her things when she attends big events. You get it,
This matter had been trending for several days.The netizens kept talking about it and making it even more popular.They were all looking forward to the Lovehart Corporation’s press conference. When would it be held?……The Lovehart Corporation’s board of directors looked gloomy.The faces of those who supported Sean Lovehart looked even gloomier.The door was pushed open, and a slender and petite figure appeared in everyone’s line of sight. Her charming voice rang out. “I’m sorry to have kept everyone waiting.”The girl was in her early twenties. Her face still had some baby fat, but she was dressed very formally.She smiled and walked to the head of the table. Her beautiful eyes swept across the board of directors. She knew who each of them was based on the information she had received about the Lovehart Corporation.“Mr. Lovehart has already told you the details, right? I’ll have to trouble everyone to cooperate with the process of transferring the shares.”She placed her
However, Lily did not expect him to spout nonsense.“Since your father has appointed you to your current position, you should take responsibility and do your part! The Lovehart Corporation wants capable people. If you want to gain everyone’s respect, convince the masses through your abilities!”Stanley’s words acknowledged her appointment, but he had also laid out some thinly veiled insults.After all, she truly lacked the means to gain everyone’s respect.Lily rolled with the insult. “But I don’t have the ability. I came in through nepotism! I’m an absolute wallflower. I can’t be blamed for being who I am.”Stanley had not expected her answer. His face darkened. “Why, you!”“Didn’t you investigate me before I came? That’s right. I’m not very capable, but I am quite temperamental. So, you guys better pamper me a little.”Everyone’s expressions were no better than Stanley’s.However, this young girl was unpredictable and vigorous.They had indeed investigated her. Sean said she
Lily did not break eye contact. Lucas started to fidget. Lily nodded lightly.“Alright, I’ll honor you with a practice session.”Lucas stood in dumbfounded silence.She would honor him?Lily turned around in her high heels and stood in front of the desk. She picked up a document and flipped through it.She pushed the document in front of him. “This should have gone to a department manager for approval. Why are you sending it to me? What do you think I’m here for?“Well…”Lily did not listen to his excuses and threw the document to the ground with a bang.She picked up another book and flipped through a few pages. She gave a furious chuckle.She handed the page to him with a flourish. “Look at this. This is an internship application for a subsidiary company. Am I supposed to deal with this? What are we paying our staff for?”Lucas pursed his lips in tense silence.The file struck the ground as well.Lily flipped through a few more pages. They were all trivial matters. They w
Aquilo coughed. He had not expected such defiance.He awkwardly held her wrist.This girl was so brash and ostentatious. She constantly got on everyone’s nerves. However, she was so slender and frail. Her wrist was so delicate and small.As Lily started to struggle, Aquilo tightened his grip. “Do you know that because of you, the very foundations of the Lovehart Corporation will quake?! Now, everyone is saying that the Lovehart Corporation is finished! It’s all because of your reckless acts of vengeance!”“Yeah, so what if I’m taking revenge? You deserve it!”“Why, you!”“You’re hurting me. Let go! Don’t make me hit you!”Aquilo had actually accepted her identity.He had considered her a member of the Lovehart family.Since she was a member of the Lovehart family, she had to act in the family’s best interests. Did she not hear the rumors spreading like wildfire?Where was her conscience?Aquilo had long intended to have a word with her. However, he had never been able to see
The Barker family was a well-known family in the Imperial City, and their connections and status were not to be underestimated.Galen did not inherit his father’s family business like the other descendants of aristocratic families. Instead, he chose to serve the country and seek a greater purpose.To him, these profligate sons were a waste of time, much less a whimsical playboy like Aquilo.Ignoring him, he turned to speak to Lily.“Get in the car. I’ll take you back.”Lily had been enjoying the show.She was jolted to her senses. “Oh, don’t bother. I drove here myself.”Galen stood in stunned silence.In the past, this girl would always think of ways to stick to him. No matter if he was busy or resting, he could not get rid of her.Moreover, she seemed to know his schedule and always created all kinds of coincidences.He had not seen her since the exchange of the car that day. Today had truly been a chance encounter.Under regular circumstances, she would have run to his ca
Galen wearily glanced at her. “Does Ruth know that you’re picking fights for her everywhere?”Lily said, “She knows. We’ve known each other for so many years. She knows very well what kind of person I am.”Galen was at a loss for words.It was what one would expect of a young, passionate lady.It was almost time to get off work, and the traffic on the road gradually increased.At one point, they remained stationary.Lily lowered the window and stuck her head out. “We’re miles away! When can we reach home? I still have to go back and tidy up the house!”Galen had been staring ahead the entire time. When he heard her voice drifting away, he turned and saw her carelessly popping her head out.He reacted before he could think.He grabbed her arm and pulled her back.“Ah!”Lily held her head and complained unhappily, “What are you doing?! I smacked my head!”Galen glanced at her. “Who taught you to stick your head out of the car window? Are you a child?”“Who taught you to manh
