A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 372

Lily just finishes washing up when she hears a knock on the door.

"I'm up. What's the matter?" Lily asks politely.

The servant says, "Ms. Lily, please come to the dining hall for lunch. Master Smith said he would need you in his study after that."

"Alright, I get it."

Lily doesn't want to wear the heavy skirt from yesterday and puts on the clothes she wore when she came here. She goes downstairs to dining hall. She sees John who is already here. He is the only one in dining hall.

John pulls out a chair for her.

After sitting down, Lily asks him in a low voice, "Is it just us? Where are your father and Jonathan?"

"My father received a document before lunch. Then he got mad and went upstairs." John pours her a glass of milk and casually says, "After a while, he called Jonathan in."

"The document you mentioned?"

"Yes."

"It's fast. But it's good for them," says Lily. "Just now the servant said that your father wanted me in his study after lunch. Do you need to go as well?"

Seeing John nod, Lily feels a little impatient. "Hurry up and eat. Let's go see Jonathan getting roasted! Whether we can get the right to inherit or not depends on him."

Her funny behavior makes John chuckle softly.

After lunch, they go to Burnell's study together. As soon as they arrive at the door, Lily catches sight of Burnell slapping Jonathan's face fiercely through the crack of the door.

"Bastard, I've told you no grey area business like this. And you turn a deaf ear?"

John knocks on the door. "Dad, can we come in?"

"Come on in!"

John and Lily go in and see documents scattered all over the carpet. Burnell's face is purple with rage. Apparently, he vented just now. Looking down, Jonathan stands in front of Burnell.

John picks up the documents one by one and asks, "Dad, what's wrong?"

"Look for yourself!" Burnell tosses the document on the table to John and angrily says, "Your Jonathan would do anything to make money. He even does this kind of grey area business!"

Jonathan licks his numb lips and straightens his back. "Dad, things are different now. The Fillets are doing this as well. Do you want to be excluded by those families?"

"Shut up!" Burnell slaps Jonathan again. "I told you, you can do whatever you want with your business, except this grey area!"

John pretends to read the document and says to Jonathan, "Jonathan, I know you want connections, but it's really your fault that you don't listen to me and run something like this."

Jonathan darts a cold glance at Jonathan. "Do you think I don't know you did it?"

"Mr. Seles, hold your tongue." Lily says appropriately, "Do you think Colbert framed you? Then I think you tricked Colbert into giving up the inheritance."

"You're not in a position to talk!" Jonathan scolds.

"Seles!" Burnell bangs on the table and storms, "He's John's girlfriend. Why are you yelling at a woman like her?"

Then, he glanced at John and Jonathan. "You two are brothers, but you fight more terribly than those boys from a larger family with a dozen of siblings. You've disgraced me!"

John and Jonathan stand there in silence.

With hands on his hips, Burnell keeps pacing the room, then says to John, "Jonathan made an unforgivable mistake. I will give the right to inherit Krislier Group back to you."

"Dad." Jonathan looks at Burnell. "You favor Jonathan too much!"
