Chapter 99


    “You were busy with your studies. It wasn’t a big deal, so I didn’t tell you about it. You just need to focus


    on yourself and take good care of Lulu.


    “You don’t need to worry about anything else. Me and your dad are still here. There’s no need for you


    to worry about our family.”


    Aunt Melida had just finished cutting her steak. Although she sat far away from me, she passed a slice


    to my te and gestured for me to eat it.


    Uncle Austin looked at the te and said to Aunt Melina, ‘Melina, you can cut a few more slices for


    Lulu. She likes to eat steak.


    “Also, Colin, we’ve watched Lulu grow up. You must take good care of her there. You don’t need to


    come home anymore if anything happens to her.”

    “Alright. I’m still cutting the steak. You could help if you think I’m too slow.”


    “It’s alright. Mom, Dad, you two can eat. I’ll cut it.”


    The three of them began to discuss who would cut the steak for me. As the center of attention, I felt


    happy and worried.


    Lc had already been wary of me. She was scared I would steal Felix and her position in the White


    family away from her.


    With that personality of hers, there was a high possibility that she’d hate me for garnering Colin’s


    protection and care.


    I couldn’t help but shudder in fear when I thought of her cruel and harsh tricks.


    I wasn’t afraid of her. I was mostly annoyed. So, I just decided to ignore her.


    Felix knew he could not fight his family on this. After considering, he backed down and held Lc’s


    hand protectively.


    He said, “Lili, let me formally introduce you to my big brother, Colin White. Colin, I’ve been with Lili for


    some time now.


    “I didn’t tell you because you were too busy. I thought you would meet her eventually since we were


    family, so I didn’t overthink it


    “I didn’t think things through. I’m sorry.” It was quite a shock to see Felix back down.


    Lc could tell that the situation was not in her favor, so she did not dare to say anything more,

    She greeted Colin aggrievedly with red eyes. She lowered her head and began eating her food. She


    looked pitiful.


    Colin nced at Lc through the corner of his eyes and threw his napkin on the table.


    He said, “There’s a famous socialite in Northpool that goes by the name of Lc Hawthorn. I wonder if


    you just share the same name as her.”


    “Colin, I didn’t know you knew that. They don’t share the same name. She is Lc Hawthorn. She has a


    few family issues, so she moved here with her mother some time back.”


    Colin slowly leaned back against the chair and looked at Felix and Lc.


    His expression remained indifferent when he said, “Did I remember incorrectly? Didn’t the Hawthorns


    and the Dixons have a marriage of convenience? Why did youe to Southsville?


    “Was it because the Dixons noticed that the Hawthorns were losing power and regretted it?”


    Seeing Lc being humiliated was amazing.


    Lc’s expression immediately changed when she heard Colin mention the Dixons from Northpool. Her


    body tensed as emotions immediately shed across her face.


    My parents pretended they couldn’t hear their conversation and began discussing how the broli was


    cooked to perfection.


    Colin and Felix had a silent standoff while their parents‘ expressions darkened without a word. I


    watched


    the scene unfold.


    Eating a meal was so tiring!


    I was lost in my thoughts when Lc suddenly turned to me. Her gaze was sharp as she looked at me


    with hatred.


    It was obvious that she thought I was the one who told Colin that she had cheated.


    My conscience was clear. I had never told anyone.


    It was because there wasn’t even a need for me to. Colin knew more than I did. There must have been


    some


    unsuitable things in the investigation report as Colin did not let me read through it.
