The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 105

At his words, Lily clenched her hands into tight fists, suppressing every ounce of her fury as she replied obediently. "I understand."

From the very first day she had joined the Summers family, Silas had laid out three strict rules for her.

First, never forget the grace of the parents who brought her into the world.

Second, maintain absolute integrity in everything she did.

Third, treat the Summers family's honor as her own, wear the name with pride, and bring glory to their legacy.

She accepted the punishment now. After all, she genuinely had forgotten.

Regaining her composure, she inwardly mocked herself for even thinking about arguing with Silas.

A man like him would obviously know everything about Alaina's past.

If she pressed the issue and asked the questions burning in her mind, she would only be asking for trouble.

"Do you know exactly what you're reflecting on?" Silas asked, his gaze softening just a fraction.

She hesitated for a few seconds, realizing that his question implied her missed memorial wasn't her only offense.

She bit her lip, trying desperately to keep the panic off her face.

Silas's eyes darkened. He remained silent for a long moment, the atmosphere growing as oppressive as the calm before a violent storm.

"Even if..." Lily's eyes brimmed with tears as her voice trembled. "Even if I crossed a line, I don't regret it. As long as it benefited Apex Microelectronics, I'll take whatever punishment or scolding you give me."

Silas leveled a hard stare at her. "I never taught you to cross lines, and I have zero tolerance for underhanded tactics."

Lily's chest constricted, terror finally leaking through her carefully crafted mask.
