A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 217

“If you really appreciate me, I will humbly accept, and thank you.” Lily dislikes Brianna’s arrogant attitude, and that tone which makes people uncomfortable. “Please tell me what you need directly.”

Brianna elegantly sips on her cup of coffee, “I’ve seen the contract between you and Daniel. Your family background isn’t that great, but if you’re hard working enough, you might just be able to pass and get together with my son.”

“You’ve seen it?” She thinks of the contract between herself and Daniel and can never imagine he will even let Brianna look through it. The anger in her is burning, she then says, “Mr. Daniel is just joking with me.”

“Whether or not it’s a joke, I can tell.” Brianna narrows her eyes, her tone revealing dissatisfaction, “My son’s too stubborn, of all people he could want, he went for a bastard daughter. Hmph, she really has some charms. It’s been 4 years. He actually signed this contract with you for her.”

“But never mind now.” She then says, “It’s a waste that a man like President Smith is married to Stella, but when they get married, I will be relieved.”

Lily and Stella aren’t close, and she does not want to be a busybody, but Brianna’s tone makes her angry, “Don’t keep talking about bastard daughters, Miss Scott is already recognised and accepted by the Scott family. She has already entered the Scott hierarchy, don't you know? She owns 20% of the Scott Group’s stock.”

Brianna smiles with disdain, “She really had some abilities - only could she force the Scott’s to recognise her. But in my heart, she’s a bastard daughter from head to toe, this is unchangeable.”

How can the Lou family be contaminated by a bastard daughter?

“My son is a smart man; he had a bright future ahead of him.” Brianna’s face went dark, “If it isn’t for that goddamned bastard daughter, he would’ve taken over his father’s place!”

“It’s your problem if you don’t like her, I don’t have the right to interfere.” Lily stands up from her chair, “I don’t have anything more to say to you, I’ll take my leave.”

Brianna follows her and pulls her hand, looking as if they are close. “I admit that I don’t like her, but I still like you, Miss Lily.”

“I can tell that Daniel really likes you, and you’re a motivated person. You’re now HZ Group’s vice president, if you can get the Lou family’s help, you could thread smoothly from then on.”

Lily is disgusted.

This Brianna really is a drama queen. She was so arrogant before, and she was trying to intimidate her. But seeing Lily not falling for her, she goes ahead to pull her hand and act as if they are so close. She’s really awesome!

“Auntie, I’m not interested in your son. Your son isn't interested in me either.” Lily pulls her hand away, her attitude strong and cold. “Whatever I wish to gain, I would do it myself. Thank you.”

Brianna holds on tightly to her hand, her smile light. “It’s okay, you can start being friends first. You might not know, maybe after time, you might develop some feelings. You are a nice girl.”

“…”

“I don’t have anything to give you either. But this jade bangle is given to me by Daniel’s grandmother.”

As she says this, she takes off the purple jade bangle from her thin wrist. Not waiting for Lily to react, she takes her hand and pushes the bangle directly onto her wrist.

Lily isn’t as groomed as Brianna; her wrists are definitely stiffer. When the bangle is forced onto her, the pain shoots through her lungs and kidneys, and she takes in a deep, cold breath.

Lily’s expression is slightly twisted and she is almost unable to speak, “Auntie, you…”

She swallows the vulgar words back into her throat because of her good upbringing and takes in another cold breath, while Brianna holds her hand, and smiles, “This is just a small gift, keep it.”

“I thank you very much!” Lily forces the words out through her gritted teeth. The pain is all she could focus on, and she does not notice the lenses that are focused on them for quite some time already.

Lily is already having a hard time escaping from Brianna. Looking at her red, swollen wrists, she wants to smash the bangle to pieces. But she is also afraid that Brianna would want it back, so she stomps angrily into a jade store.

“Help me take this off, but don’t spoil it.”

A few people in the shop come over to help and put on a whole dollop of moisturizer onto her hands, trying to take off the jade bangle. But because when Brianna was putting it on for her, it was forced on. So, both sides of her wrists hurt when they touches them. It is only when a helper holds onto Lily’s arm, did they manage to take off the bangle.
