Lyra quickly said, “Mr. Ellington, please don’t tell your daughter it was me who noticed. I’m not trying to badmouth her, but she’s really bossy and stubborn.

“If she finds out I said this to you, she’ll come after me every time we cross paths.”

Lyra thought, Jolie isn’t the type to plot or anything. She is actually pretty kind, just really bossy and unreasonable.

‘And since she liked Leon, she wouldn’t tolerate anyone badmouthing him.‘

Richard was stunned for a second, then remembered that his daughter was bossy and unreasonable, but she was head over heels for Leon. She only showed her gentle side around him.

He sighed, “I thought that brat had finally found her true love, someone who could keep her in check. I was even thinking about letting them get married.

“Leon doesn’t have anything, but I was willing to accept that. As long as he worked hard, with the Ellington family’s support, he could make something of himself in a few years.

“Turns out I’ve been keeping a wolf by my side. I wonder if that brat would be so mad she’d drop dead if she found out. She’s got such a one–track mind when it comes to love. Maybe it’s for the best if she does.

“For the past two years, Leon has been the only thing in her life. He gave a cold, shallow smile.

In his eyes, Leon was nowhere near as good as Chris.

Chris had always treated his daughter well since they were kids. If he had to pick a son–in–law, even though Chris was an orphan, he was still his top choice.

Lyra was speechless.

Richard could tell Lyra was genuinely intimidated by their little princess.

He smiled, “Lyra, don’t think like that. I should be thanking you. If you hadn’t spoken up today, my foolish daughter would’ve been duped and probably would’ve helped the guy count his money.”

Lyra forced a smile.

She headed outside to stand guard.

She thought, ‘Ms. Ellington had gone back to rest. If she’d overheard my words, she probably would’ve totally lost it and come after me.’

“Lyra, is that true?” came a cold, imperious voice from the doorway.

Lyra’s knees nearly buckled. ‘Ugh, just my luck. Speak of the devil, she thought.

She looked at Jolie, who was crying. The girl was gorgeous, her smooth hair fluttering softly in the breeze. Her delicate little face, eyes shimmering with tears, made her look so pitiful that people just wanted to protect her.

Lyra said, “Ms. Ellington, since you overheard it, I won’t keep anything from you. I was outside playing in the snow and happened to hear the doctor calling someone.

“He said everything went according to plan, that Logan wouldn’t last much longer, and told the person not to worry. His tone was surprisingly gentle.

“Pretty sure the person on the other end was a girl.”
