Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 124

"Lilly."

Frances frowned, obviously, she was not satisfied with Lilly's words.

Lilly's face changed, "Grandma, she is a scheming woman. Didn't you see how she got Lucia in prison? How could you let such a person into our house?"

Frances looked unhappy. "Everyone knows why Lucia is in jail now and everyone could tell who is in the wrong. Besides, Starry is here today for me. As a Pearson, you should be grateful for her instead of insulting her like this. Is this how you were raised up, Lilly?"

Not only Frances was dissatisfied with Lilly's words just now, but also Martha. "Miss Lilly, the desserts you had just now were made by Miss Bradley."

Lilly had just been scolded by Frances, and now she felt even more embarrassed by Martha's words.

Just then the chef took out more deserts, "Miss Lilly, I didn't make these deserts, Miss Bradley did."

The chef had been in the kitchen just now and didn't hear their conversation, she didn't mean anything else but was answering Lilly's words just now.

Francis snorted. "You have just had her deserts and you have shown no respect for her."

Lilly had been feeling aggrieved and embarrassed. Seeing the deserts on the table, she threw them away. "Who cares? Grandma, you are confused in your mind. Just some desserts could buy you off? I am your…"

"Martha, call and ask Florence home. I'd like to ask how she raised her daughter!"

Although Frances had always been stern, she had indulged Lilly, who was not afraid of her at all now.

However. Lilly was scared of Florence and Filip the most.

Hearing that Frances was asking Florence back, she was in a fluster. "Grandma, I..."

Staring at Starry who stood beside Frances, she couldn't bring herself to say "I am sorry" at all.

"Grandma, mom has been busy recently, we don't need to call her home."

Lilly gripped her clothes and said with slight sobs.

This trick usually would work, but not today. "As you said I am confused."

Frances said, and took a look at Martha.

Martha understood, glanced at Lilly, walked to the couch and took the phone from the table.

Seeing that, Lilly wanted to stop Martha, but she dared not.

Martha had been working here for over three decades for Frances.

While Florence didn't come back to the country until a while ago. The Pearson family had been trying to expand their business in Araria and Lilly had always wanted to be an actress, so Florence brought Lilly back with her. E

However, earlier this year, Lilly offended a famous director in a casting. She had stayed in the Pearson family for over two months. With the help of Filip, she finally got back on her feet a little.

After Florence found out about this, she had snapped at Lilly. If Martha to called her back, Lilly knew that a storm would break out.

After Martha made the call, Frances didn't say anything more to Lilly.

She looked at Starry, who hadn't said anything. "Sorry about this, Miss Bradley."

Starry smiled, "It's okay."

"Have some desserts here before you leave."

Frances said. Martha added, "Miss Bradley, Mrs. Pearson hasn't played chess with anyone for a long while. Since you're here today, would you mind play some rounds with her?"

Starry didn't refuse. Even if she wanted to leave now. Frances wouldn't let her.

Because what Lilly had done just now really pissed Frances off.

Starry was humiliated by Lilly for no reason, of course, Frances would not just let this go.

She looked stern and serious, but she was really a just person.
