CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Dilemma

"If you can't handle this position, then quit early."

Francis hung up the phone and turned to look at Lilian.

He didn't say anything, but his deep eyes stared at her as he waited for her to speak.

Lilian hesitated for a moment before gesturing. "Can we let Fabiana stay?"

"Is that why you came to find me?"

Lilian lowered her head, her scattered hair hiding her expression.

She continued to gesture. "Don't you remember her?"

Francis's eyes remained emotionless as he said blandly, "Remember or not, does it matter? Do I have to take care of all the servants in the house until they grow old and die?"

His heartless words struck Lilian's heart.

She slowly raised her head and met his cold gaze. For the first time, Lilian doubted whether this man had a heart.

Francis slowly approached her and leaned over. "If you want her to stay, you just have to cut off contact with Courtney."

Lilian was taken aback.

He smirked with a hint of coldness in his eyes. "Choose between her and Courtney."

No wonder he had been so quiet along the way, without getting angry. It turned out he was waiting for this.

He presented her with an unsolvable dilemma. No matter how she chose, it would be wrong.

Francis stared into her clear eyes, silently waiting for her to make a choice.

They stared at each other as time passed in silence.

Lilian lifted her finger and slowly gestured. "Would you do the same to Julian?"

His eyes fell on her fingers and dimmed before he shifted his gaze back to her face.
