Chapter 147
Lily gave Susan a <b>look</b>, not bothering to respond to her. She pivoted and took her leave swiftly. Susan stilled<b>, </b>looking utterly mortified. In the end, she fell silent and followed Julia to Loid’s ward.
“Mr. Laurier<b>, </b>Mrs, Laurier, we’re here to visit Mr. Loid,” Jaha said. Noticing that Stn and Mnie were both in the ward, she took on a humble demeanor.
Mnie shot an indifferent nce at her. She still maintained a polite tone for Lily’s sake nheless. “Thanks for your concem, <b>Mrs. </b>Goldberg.”
Julia nced at Susan, signaling her to present their gifts. Susan immediately produced the gifts and set them on the table. Then, she retreated behind Julia, trying her best to
appear courteous
Little did Susan know that Mnie couldn’t be bothered about her. She wouldn’t even spare <b>Susan </b>a nce if it weren’t for Julia –Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.
“I wasn’t sure <b>what </b>Mr. Loid prefers, so I bought some nutritional supplements. Please forgive my candor, Mrs. Laurier,” <b>Julia </b><b>said </b>politely and smiled.
“I appreciate your visit, but the gifts are unnecessary. Loid has just undergone surgery, and he won’t need these yet. They might expire before he needs them,” Mnie replied.
Julia froze and Lashed her a sheepish smile. This is just a small token of our concem. Please do <b>ept </b>it, Mrs. Laurier.”
They had upset Lold due to Shannon’s incident before, so Julia was desperate to please them
The Martinez family’s business had gone downhill after Loid withdrew his investment, and they were bound to go bankrupt if they <b>couldn’t </b>get any funding soon.
Having established the Martinez Group single–handedly, Julia couldn’t bear to watch it go under. Thus, she had to swallow her pride and seek Lold’s help.
“Well, thank you then.” Mnie didn’t refuse further. She nned to give them another gift after this since she <b>didn’t </b>want to owe them a favor.
Julia smiled and changed the subject timely. “I saw Lily going out earer. She’s always been reckless and ignorant since she was young, <b>so </b>perhaps she wasn’t aware that she had to stay back and take care of Mr. <b>Loid </b>at this time. Please forgive her for her impudence, Mrs. <b>Laurier</b>.”
Mnie despised the Martinezes, but she endured their visit regardless. Her expression immediately darkened after J criticized Lily.
even if she wanted to stay, I told her to leave. Are you against my decision?”
“Mrs. Goldberg, where Lily goes is her own business. She’s not obligated to take care of Lold M Julia stiffened. “Mrs. Laurier, you’ve misunderstood. I was only worried that Lily might upset you.” She thought the Lauriers would’ve been infuriated upon Lily’s departure after Loid’s surgery.
Loid suffered multiple injuries, but Lily merely left <b>Stefan </b><b>and </b>Mnie with him. Thus, julia brought this tople up intentionally, intending to make Mnie despise Lily and also to disy her humility before Mnie. Little did she expect to tile Mnie up.
“Lily’s a dear. She’s obedient, thoughtful, and considerate. We care for her more than we can express. Why would we be mad?” Mnie rose and met Julia’s gaze.
“However, you lot seem to have some opinions about her. Do you think her status as a stepdaughter isn’t worthy of your family’s status?”
Julia’s heart skipped a beat. “Who said that? That isn’t true at all I’ve always treated her as my granddaughter, and I’ve never mistreated her.”
Mnie sneered. “You cam spare me the rest. I don’t need to know what Lily is like from others. She’s my daughter–inw, and I am well aware of what she’s like.”
Trackler and uncouth Inst what did Mnie see in her?
