Just after Lily had hung up on Linda, her Dad, Robert Wilson, returned home.

As soon as he saw her…

“Slap!”

He delivered a sharp slap across her face, leaving her utterly stunned.

“What’s gotten into you? Why did you hit me?” 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺

Having been pampered since childhood, she wasn’t afraid of her father at all. Robert’s face was a mask of rage. “Tell me! Did you mess with Elizabeth?” “So what if I did?” Lily snapped back with gritted teeth.

Robert was so infuriated that he felt as if he could have a heart attack on the spot. “Why would you provoke her? How did I end up with such a reckless daughter? Every mess you create, I end up shouldering!”

Lily retorted defiantly, “What have you shouldered? We’re related to the Wilson family. What can they possibly do to you?”

“With how many business deals that have fallen through recently, what else do you think they can do?”

Robert wished he could give her another piece of his mind.

Lily was taken aback. “All because of Elizabeth?”

Robert, too frustrated to explain, firmly declared, “Tomorrow, you’ll accompany me to apologize. If not, you can get out!”

Furious and indignant, Lily shot back, “I won’t apologize! If you want to, go ahead. I won’t embarrass myself.”

With that, she stormed upstairs, her heart filled with resentment toward Elizabeth. Such a trivial matter, yet it affected their family business. How conniving!

Robert was left cursing, feeling utterly exasperated by his vexing daughter.

He also felt that the Wilson family was making a mountain out of a molehill. It was just a minor disagreement between kids. Why escalate it to business matters?

Regardless, he knew he had to address the issue with the Wilson family.

The next day, unable to corner Lily, Robert had no choice but to go and apologize on his own.

Ever since the incident at the coming-of-age ceremony, Sophia had taken a dislike to this branch of the family. Now with subtle hints suggesting that they had jeopardized his company, she was even more irate.

Would the Wilson family resort to such underhanded tactics?

Therefore, the couple feigned ignorance throughout.

Robert, out of options, finally said, “Isn’t it a bit excessive to blow up little kids’ squabble to such proportions?”

Ray, leisurely sipping his tea, replied, “I genuinely do not know what you’re referring to. Perhaps you should reflect on any recent offenses you might have committed.”

Robert was skeptical, feeling that Sir and Lady Wilson were deliberately giving him a hard time.

Just then, Elizabeth descended from upstairs. Spotting the main instigator, Robert tried to approach her, only to be intercepted by Sophia.

“Elizabeth, are you heading out?”

Elizabeth glanced at Robert, then back to Sophia, “Meeting a friend.”

“Your friend’s in Metro City?” Sophia was slightly surprised, thinking perhaps Elizabeth’s rural friend was visiting.

Elizabeth simply nodded in affirmation without offering any further explanation.

Seeing Elizabeth’s innocent demeanor, Sophia gave a motherly smile, “Have fun.’

Earlier, Elizabeth had promised Peter she would help adjust his arm, and she was free today.

Before she could wait for a bus, Nick swiftly parked his car in front of her.

“Professor Lawrence, please get in,” Nick said respectfully.

Elizabeth didn’t decline, opened the car door, and got in. She wasn’t heading to Fortune Law Group, instead, she asked Peter to wait for her at the villa.

Upon reaching, Nick tactfully found a spot to wait for Elizabeth.

“You’re finally here. The sun’s been killing me,” said Peter, who wouldn’t miss personally greeting Professor Lawrence.

“Let’s head inside. I’ve got drinks prepared.”

Elizabeth nodded slightly, taking small steps toward the villa.

Next door, Samuel stood on his balcony, craning his neck to get a better view.

Damn!
