Avenger's coming back novel Chapter 116

Lily stayed up all night for worrying about what happened to Eric. She was dressed up in the early morning and waited for Joe in the living room.

However, before Joe came down, two people, Dillon and Lucia, came.

The color drained from Dillon's face. He was still holding the morning newspaper. Beside him, there was a gloating look on Lucia's face. At the same time, Sunny behind them was worried.

Lily knew that they would come sooner or later. But she didn't expect that they would meet this morning.

"Dad, aunt," She greeted out of politeness.

"Look what you have done!" Dillon threw the newspaper in Lily's face. "It's headline again. You're really a good daughter!"

Lily subconsciously turned her head to avoid the paper hitting her, but she still failed. Fortunately, the newspaper was soft and it didn't scratch her face.

There was a flash of disgust in her eyes. She did not pay attention to him, but picked up the newspaper and read. This time was even more excessive.

What went too far was not the picture on it, but the headline: two people are so passionate that they leave hand in hand.

The picture of Eric leaving with Kevin in his arms was ambiguous, and the headline was more ambiguous.

No wonder that Dillon was so angry. Lily coldly curved her lips, put down the newspaper, and lowered his head to not look at Dillon and Lucia. She didn't say anything either, as if bowing her head to apologize.

"Your news has hit the headlines for two consecutive days. How could the Qiao family gain a foothold in the Guan city?" Dillon said again, "If you mess up the cooperation with AF Company, I'll hit you!"

"Dillon, calm down first." Lucia, who was standing beside them, comforted them and patted on Dillon's arm. Then she turned to look at Lily.

"Lily, I'm sorry for what happened this time. I didn't do my job well. But you are a mature girl. How could you do such a thing? Do you know how those people outside think of the Qiao family? What if AF Company gave up the cooperation with the Qiao family because of the pressure of public opinion? Have you thought about the consequences?"

Although her tone was not so questioning, and even gentle, every word she said was the blasting fuse.

Lily didn't say anything, because she knew that no matter what she said, they would blame her for that.

"Has she thought about this? Ah?" In a rage, Dillon continued, "Even if she cares for the Qiao family a little bit, she won't do such a thing!"

"Dillon, Lily is still young..."

"It's not a reason." Dillon interrupted Lucia and turned his head, glared at Lily and said, "Claire is younger than her. She is more considerate than her. As her sister, she is even less important than her sister..."

"I asked you to come here not to judge on anyone." At this time, Joe walked downstairs and interrupted him. He frowned slightly and looked at Dillon unhappily. "You, as a father, have a responsible."

"Father..." When Dillon was about to say something, Joe raised his hand to hint him to stop. Then he turned around, looked at Sunny who had been standing behind him and asked, "Is breakfast ready?"

"Yes, my Lord." Sunny replied with respect.

"Yes." Joe said yes, took a look at them and said, "Have breakfast, then we will go to the Gu family together."

After saying that, he turned to look at Lily, who was lowering her head. He said in a much softer tone, "Lily, go to have breakfast."

"I have no appetite." Lily looked up at Joe and said.

"I know what you're worrying about, but..." As if speaking, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes were attracted by the newspaper on the tea table.

When he saw the title and the pictures, he frowned, but then his mood relaxed, as if he hadn't seen them. "It's just a boring thing. Don't be affected by these things. Go have some food even if you have no appetite, or it's not good if you fall ill in the Gu family."

Finishing his words, he cast a glance at Lily's left hand, which was bandaged.

Lily saw Joe's behavior. The news about it was widely reported on the internet for two days, but he said nothing. Apparently, he was trying to defend her.

At last, they had breakfast together and set off for the Gu's house. Dillon drove with Lucia, and Joe and Lily in another car.

Daniel had been staying at home for recuperation since the car accident, and Joe had arranged another driver.

On the way to the hospital, Lily frowned tightly and didn't say a word. She was in a state of great fear. Yesterday, when looked at the newspaper with a scandal, Wayne punished Eric to lock him in the room. And today, this matter was exposed on the front page of the newspaper. She was afraid that it would make the situation worse and the punishment to him would be more severe.

When the car stopped in front of the gate of the Gu family's residence, Lily took a deep breath, adjusted her state of mind and then opened the door to get off.
