"What does this mean? Are they really just going to ignore me? Hayden must have said something to them again. That bastard! He's so despicable! He's ruined everything for me! It makes me so mad!"
Lily gritted her teeth, her body trembling with fury. She was pacing back and forth like a cornered animal, consumed by rage.
"Lily, don't be so angry. Maybe they just didn't want to make things worse?" Morgan's lips twitched slightly, his expression adopting a false sympathy.
Clearly, he didn't want things to spiral out of control either. If this were investigated, he'd surely be implicated.
"Morgan, you're too soft-hearted. If you keep acting like this, you'll always be taken advantage of! When you go to college, you need to toughen up, or you'll end up suffering. Ugh, how can I trust you to handle yourself in college with this attitude?"
Lily sighed. Her face was full of concern for him, and her eyes betrayed her pain.
"Lily, don't worry. I'll remember!" Morgan said seriously.
"Alright. Let's go. We need to take care of the company's business first. We'll find a way to target Hayden's company and seize his market share and traffic! We'll start with this. Like Dad said, we'll defeat him openly and fairly!" Lily said with righteous conviction, radiating confidence and ambition.
"Alright!"
Morgan finally let out a breath of relief. As long as Lily didn't push the film studio issue, everything else seemed manageable.
…
Meanwhile, Charlotte, Julia, and Anna stepped outside.
Anna drove, leading them away.
