“Such a good idea. You’re a smart boy.” Lily gives him a thumbs up, and then reminds him, “But when President Smith and your mum do get married, there’ll be lots of people, and security will be tight, so strangers can’t really get it either. Not to mention, it’ll also ruin your mum’s reputation.”
“Then what do we do?” Chandler supports his face with his hands, looking so sad, “I can’t just see my mother marrying someone else now, can I? How about this? When they get married, I’ll go crash it! Saying that I’m President Smith’s bastard son!”
“...” Lily’s brows are twitching. She can’t imagine the messy scenario, “Have you forgotten the fact that your mum forbade you to be out in the open?”
Chandler sighs like a dejected adult, “Right at this moment, I really hope that my dad can come back. If he can come back now, then these problems will be smoothly solved.”
Lily purses her lips.
She really wants to tell him that his father is just by his side, but in what position can she tell him this secret?
“Lily.”
Right at this moment, she hears someone calling out for her. She raises her head and sees Daniel entering the restaurant, his expression darker than usual with a murderous look on his face.
“Quickly, put your mask! PUT IT ON!” Lily whispers frantically as her heart almost pops out. Daniel has already arrived at their table when Chandler just puts on his mask.
Lily says, “You came at the right moment, I am just about to call you.”
“Are you crazy?” Daniel looks over her, his voice cold, “I’ve said this before, this contract is between us, and you’ve let everyone know?”
Lily does not understand what he says, and frowns angrily, “Mr. Daniel, it is you who broke our trust! Just an hour before, your mum asked me out for coffee, saying that she knew about the contract, and trying to set us up.”
She shows him her red wrist, and says, “She also said she wanted to give me a welcoming gift and forced her bangle right onto me. Look at what happened to my wrists when I was trying to take it off!”
Looking at her wrists, his expression changes, “It isn’t you who told my mum about that?”
“You thought that I was the one who told your mum about the contract?” Lily understands now and rolls her eyes scornfully, “You also had a copy of the contract, and you think I told your mother about it!”
“She looked through my stuff, and even…” Daniel throws his mobile phone to her, his expression gloomy, “Got the paps to hide outside the cafe.”
Lily looks at the video he showed her.
The video shows the scenario of how Brianna and Lily met at the cafe just an hour ago, and how Brianna put the bangle on her wrist. Brianna’s face was full of smiles, as if she liked her so much.
“Damn! Your mother’s full of schemes, isn’t she?” Seeing how modern and fast technology is now, she would guess that the whole country knows now. Lily is shivering with anger.
That is why Brianna’s expression changed so quickly, it was just an act for the paparazzi.
Damn! She’s too scheming!
“What do they mean by ‘Talented girl marrying into the Lou family, good things are coming for them’?” The more she read, the more the paps’ penmanship impressed her. “It’s a waste for these people being in the media!”
Daniel stands there, silent and unmoving, “The video of the cafe is so clear, how else could I clarify? This would make them think it’s one of your means for trying to force me to propose to you.”
“Then what can I do! Just be framed like that?!”
“I will handle this.” Daniel replies coldly, “If my mother were to look for you again, just ignore her.”
Lily just laughs helplessly.
She just wants to run away from her, why would she want to meet her!
“Uncle, if you don’t want to marry Lily, how about considering my mother?” Chandler jumps off his chair at some point and has his head raised, standing in front of Daniel.
Chandler’s voice is a bit childlike, but it looks like he isn’t joking, “My mum’s really pretty, and very capable, you won’t regret marrying her, and you would have a son too! Isn’t that great!”
The boy’s eyes are clear and full of brilliance and vitality.
