Audrey’s words brought the room to an abrupt, heavy silence. Merrick glared at her, too furious to speak
for a moment.
“What’s going on here?” a voice suddenly cut in. Eric walked in slowly, another man following behind him.
Seeing Eric was like seeing a lifeline. Audrey ran straight into his arms, her voice dripping with grievance. “Grandfather scolded me because of Lillian! He even gave her a bedroom upstairs. Mom and I aren’t allowed to live in the same building with Grandfather, but she can? Why?”
Sebastian walked directly up to Lillian. “You’re not being bullied, are you?”
Lillian shook her head. “No, I’m fine. She’s just upset about me being here and needed to vent a little. But what are you doing here?”
Sebastian smiled. “Unno told me Mr. Merrick picked you up, so of course I had to come pick up my little fiancée.”
Eric pulled Audrey away from himself and said coldly, “The room was my idea. I was the one who had it furnished. Since Lillian is now a young lady of the Phillips family, she’ll have her place here from now on. If you don’t like it, you can go back to Murica.”
“You’re siding with her too?” Audrey stared at Eric, stunned. In all her life he had never spoken to her like that. “You’re all on her side. You all want to drive me away, don’t you? Fine. Then I’ll go!” She turned and bolted out.

You’ll end up shouldering seven or eight parts of the anger while the other person only takes two or three. You’re the one who’ll feel sick in the end. Don’t expect me to come visit you in the hospital if you make yourself ill.”
Her words made Merrick chuckle in spite of himself. “You little rascal. Is that your way of comforting me? I don’t know how you turned out with such a mischievous streak.”
Lillian grinned. “Blame Mr. Whitmore for spoiling me. If you’ve got complaints, take them to him.” She pointed straight at the man beside her.
Sebastian looked at her with a fond smile, helpless but amused.
The tension slowly ebbed away, leaving the unpleasantness behind.
