Chapter 565


    However, sometimes it turned out that everything could change in an instant. It was the same when


    they had broken up then.


    The only difference was he had been the one who asked for the breakup, whereas she was the one


    who asked to leave this time.


    “Jonathan, it’s really time to forget you this time,” Rosalie murmured.


    The next day, Lillian went to Rosalie’s rented house after work.


    Although they had talked over the phone the day before and Rosalie said that everything was fine,


    Lillian still felt a little worried.


    Nevertheless, when she arrived at the parking lot and was about to go into her car, a figure was


    blocking her way.


    “You’re Lillian, right?” the person asked.


    back


    The person was a woman, dressed in a new suit of thetest fall collection of a luxury brand. She


    had exquisite makeup on. She was looking at Lillian arrogantly.


    Lillian was stunned. “Who are you?”


    “I’m Josephine, Callum’s future partner in our marriage of convenience. I heard that you have been


    with Callum for a while, so I’ve been wanting to meet you. How about we go somewhere to talk?”


    Although it’s an inquiry, Josephine’s tone was more like amand that could not be refused.


    There was disdain in her eyes.


    Lillian raised her eyebrows. “Marriage of convenience? Why hasn’t Callum mentioned


    anything/about this to me before? So the situation right now is regarded as my love rivaling to


    me and protesting? Wait a minute. Maybe this woman can’t be considered as a love rival yet,” Lillian


    was reasoning in her heart.


    Lillian’s head was filled with various ideas about Josephine. For a moment, she was ignoring


    Josephine, who was standing there.


    Josephine had never been so angry. If it weren’t for her n for the future, she would have turned


    around and left now. She wouldn’t waste time on Lillian, who looked like an ordinary woman.


    She couldn’t believe that Callum actually had his eyes on Lillian!


    “Do you want to talk or not?” Josephine was getting irritated.


    “Sure. Let’s just go to the cafe at the corner here, but it’s on you.” Lillian didn’t want to split the bill


    with Josephine, who was going to find trouble with her. She was not going to help Josephine save


    money.


    Josephine’s disgust toward Lillian became stronger. She felt that Lillian was really an ipetent


    person. She even wanted to fuss about the price of a cup of coffee.


    “Got it. Lead the way then,” Josephine uttered.


    Lillian shrugged and led the way ahead. Anyway, she intended to find out what was going on with


    this marriage of


    convenience.


    When they arrived at the cafe, Lillian ordered herself a cup of expensive coffee. Then, Josephine


    said in an arrogant tone, “I’ve run a check on you already. You are just a designer from a small


    design institute, and you have an ordinary family background. Don’t you think you don’t deserve


    Callum?”


    “It’s okay, I guess. If I really think so, do you think I can still date him?” Lillian’s lips twitched.


    Josephine choked on Lillian’s words. “You…”


    “By the way, what is your family background? What does your family do?” Lillian asked. It’s best to


    know about Josephine


    and herself so that she could win against Josephine in any circumst


    “I’m the eldest daughter of Fairmount Properties. I’m also the partner who’s acknowledged by the


    White family for our marriage of convenience. Soon, I will get engaged to Callum and then marry


    him. If you are sensible enough, it’ll be better to leave him quietly. Don’t embarrass yourself when


    the timees.” Josephine raised her chin while exining.


    Lillian blinked after listening to Josephine’s introduction and took out her phone. She began


    searching for Fairmount Properties.


    Looking at Lillian, Josephine felt really humiliated.


    “I she trying to tell me that she hasn’t heard of Fairmount Properties before?” she yelled internally.


    Josephine felt really embarrassed of herself. Initially, she thought that Lillian would be astonished to


    hear about Fairmount Properties. On the contrary, Lillian actually searched for thepany online.


    After reading the introduction to Fairmount Properties on the inte, Lillian smiled. “I know your


    background now. But as you said, you are the marriage partner determined by the White family and


    will be engaged to Callum. That means you’re


    not engaged yet, right? And Callum never acknowledged you as his marriage partner before.


    Therefore, there’s no rtion at all between you and Callum.”

    Lillian had never believed that Callum would marry Josephine. Inexplicably, she had a kind of trust


    in him.


    “Perhaps this is the power of love,” Lillian thought.


    Josephine gritted her teeth and stared at Lillian. She was right about the marriage. Josephine had


    discussed it with some members of the Tall family and the White family only. Callum had never


    agreed to it!


    “And I… Ahem!” Lillian coughed a bit. She raised her chin and grinned at Josephine. “I’m Callum’s


    girlfriend, the official one! So Ms. Tall, don’t you think it’s ridiculous for you toe here to order me


    to leave Callum?”


    Josephine snorted coldly. She felt that Lillian was deliberately acting, so she went straight to the


    point, asking, “How much money do you want in order to leave Callum?”


    Lillian’s eyes lit up. “Damn it! I didn’t expect that one day I would encounter the scene in a novel or


    TV series where the girlfriend was dismissed using money. However, I’m the one who’s being


    dismissed right now,” she eximed inwardly.


    “You’re giving me money?” Lillian asked.


    Josephine mistakenly thought that Lillian’s eyes were shining because of the mention of money, so


    she secretlyughed at Lillian in her heart. “She is indeed a greedy woman!” Josephine thought.


    “Is 1 million dors enough?” Josephine asked directly.


    However, Lillian was disgusted by the offer. “Only 1 million dors? Callum is worth only 1 million


    dors? At present, 1 million dors is only enough to buy a house in Strico. It must be less than


    1,000 square feet at that.”


    “Then, how much do you want?” Josephine gritted her teeth.


    “Isn’t it popr to dump tens of millions of dors nowadays?” Lillian said.


    Josephine almost fainted. Lillian was not the kind of weak and dumb woman she had imagined. She


    was an extremely greedy


    woman.


    Even if all the cash flow of the Tall family was gathered, they couldn’t get tens of millions of dors


    in cash at once. “Lillian, are you kidding me?” Josephine was fuming with rage. Her eyes with heavy


    makeup stared at Lillian furiously. “Then, aren’t you humiliating me when you intended to dump 1


    million dors on me and ordered me to leave Callum?” Lillian asked. “Of course, that’s if you really


    pay me the money and let me leave. There’s another possibility though. You pretend to promise me


    the money and record our conversation. Later, you’ll find the chance and let Callum listen to the


    recording, leading him to think that I’m a greedy woman and eventually break up with me.”


    As Lillian was speaking, she nced at Josephine’s phone on the table. Nheless, the back of


    her phone was facing upward while her screen was on the table’s surface, contrary to normal


    people cing their phones.


    “I think Ms. Tall is nning for the second option, right?” Lillian asked.


    Josephine’s body stiffened, and her face turned red.
