Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier) novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225 

Xavier instinctively tightened his grip on the utensils. He blurted out, “Mom, don’t you work too?” 

Lily was taken aback. Was Xavier actually trying to defend her? 

Tamara, clearly annoyed, tapped the table. “What’s my job? Your father bullt everything for me, but what about her?” 

she didn’t need to ask–she already knew Lily wa 

wasn’t working at Nova Group. After all, the Fulton family didn’t deal with interior design. 

Sarah pretended to be confused. “Mrs. Fulton, please don’t be upset. Xavier wants to help her, but she’s unfamiliar with the company’s affairs. Besides, with me helping him, she won’t need to-” 

“She doesn’t understand? That’s not her fault, it’s Xavier’s!” 

Tamara 

a snapped, now directing her anger at Xavier. “You’re a man, what are you doing? Letting your wife beg others for help? Do you think she’s some nobody who can just be thrown into the business world to fend for herself?” 

Sarah was slightly offended, but Tamara wasn’t known for being sarcastic, so she remained quiet. 

“Do you think I knew about bodyguards or data when I joined the company? Tamara continued scolding Xavier. 

“It was your father who taught me! A family doesn’t need to know every business detail, but you should support her if she wants to world! You might just end up like your dad, lounging around the house.” 

Xavier’s forehead tensed, his veins bulging. He couldn’t understand what kind of hold Lily had over his family. Even his usually strict mother was putting this much pressure on him. 

“Mom, I just want to design,” Lily interjected, not trying to make excuses for Xavier but fearing that Tamara would force her to quit her job and join Nova Group. 

Tamara paused, frowning, then sighed. After a moment, she turned to Shane. “I remember you have a classmate who runs a design company. Go ask about the process and set her up with one.” 

Lily’s eyes widened. “What?” 

Sarah barely contained herself. Lily was an amateur designer, so suggesting that she start a company was absurd. 

Besides, Lily was going to divorce Xavier sooner or later. If they helped her open a company, it would only benefit her! 

“Alright.” Without another word, Shane stood up to call his classmate. 

“Dad!” Lily quickly stood and stopped him. “Mom, I haven’t worked in design since graduation. Let me get some experience first before I decide if I want to open a company.” 

Shane looked at his wife, while Edith glanced at Tamara.
