Chapter 567


    But Rosalie still nned to keep it from Calvin, so Lillian couldn’t tell him the truth even if she


    wanted to.


    Rosalie just smiled. At that moment, Lillian’s WhatsApp notification tone sounded. It was a message


    from Callum. Upon ncing at the message, Lillian saw that Callum was asking when she would go


    to his ce.


    Rosalie also nced at the message and said, “Callum is waiting for you. You can head on over to


    his ce first. We can always find time to catch up.”


    “Okay, remember to call me if you need anything. Don’t try to shoulder everything on your own.”


    Lillian was a little worried.


    “Okay, I will!” Rosalie smiled. Only when she faced Lillian could she really rx and show her true


    expression.


    That was because she knew Lillian would side with her no matter what.


    When Lillian left Rosalie’s house, she suddenly felt a little heavy-hearted. She didn’t know whether it


    was good or bad for them to continue on like this.


    Rosalie had just left Jonathan, only to have Calvin enter her life shortly after.


    However, she still didn’t love Calvin and did not want to ept him.


    utual affection and trust.


    It seemed that it was a kind of blessing to get into a rtionship built upon


    Lillian also felt more and more lucky. Although she was a little upset with Callum at the beginning,


    things were finally starting to go well.


    She drove to Callum’s mansion. As soon as she walked in, she saw that Callum was talking to


    someone on the phone. When he spoke, his expression was serious and a harsh look shed on


    his face. That was something/she had never seen before.


    When he saw here in, however, his gaze instantly went back to being the gentle one she was


    familiar with.


    Lillian felt warm in her heart. She put down her purse and sat on the couch beside him. Then she


    cupped her cheeks and silently watched Callum talk on the phone.


    Although Callum didn’t put the call on speaker, Lillian could tell that he was talking to the female


    head of the White family.


    That was because Callum called her “Auntie” on the phone. Although his tone sounded gentle as


    usual, there was still a hint of coldness on his face from time to time.


    After the call, Callum put away his phone and looked at Lillian. “How was your talk with Rosalie? Is


    she okay?”


    “She appears to be fine, but in reality…” Lillian sighed as she continued, “I don’t know how Rosalie


    is really doing.”


    As she spoke, she took the initiative to raise her hand and hugged Callum. She buried her face


    deeply in his arms and said, “I think my love life is a lot smoother than that of Lillian’s. I’m so lucky


    to have met you.”


    Callum lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms. “I’m the lucky one.”


    “We’re both lucky, then. By the way, were you talking to the White family just now?” Lillian said.


    “Yeah,” he replied.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Did you have an unpleasant conversation?” She was curious.


    He smiled faintly. “How could I possibly have a nice conversation with her? In the White family, she


    probably wants me dead the most.”


    Lillian thought, “That makes sense. Callum is now in control of the White family, so it’s only natural


    that the first branch would be angry.”


    “The Josephine you saw today is from the White family. I wanted to take advantage of the marriage


    between the White family and the Harris family to help them regain control over the White family,”


    Callum continued.


    Lillian blinked. “But if they want to use the Tall family against you, then shouldn’t you have


    Josephine marry your two -half-brothers?”


    “That’s why I said Josephine is just an abandoned child,” Callum replied.


    “Abandoned child?” Lillian was confused. “Isn’t Josephine the eldest daughter of the Tall family?”


    “She is the eldest daughter of the Tall family. However, she was just a child whom they had wrongly


    imed. Now, the Tall family has found the real child they should have imed back then, but it has


    not been announced to the public yet. Even Josephine herself doesn’t know.”


    Lillian’s eyes widened immediately as she thought, “What? This sounds like something you’d see in


    a cringey drama series!”


    “For the Tall family, their biological daughter is the most important thing. As for Josephine, since she


    is not their biological daughter, she is just an abandoned child whom they can use as a tool. They


    thought that if they married Josephine to me, I


    would think that the Tall family and I are on the same side. At that time, the White family would


    retaliate and drain me of everything. That way, the White family will naturally belong to the first


    branch,” Callum continued.


    Lillian felt that her IQ was not high enough for suchplex family politics.


    “But how do you know that Josephine is not the biological daughter of the Tall family?” Lillian


    asked.


    “Of course, I found out about it by conducting some investigations. How would I be able to control


    the White family if I can’t even do that much?” Callum responded with a confident smile.


    Lillian couldn’t help but feel that he looked amazing when he was confident, which made her have


    the urge to be obsessed with him again.


    “But it seems that you have be their target now,” Callum said. The fact that Josephine found


    Lillian that day was a sign.


    Lillian was stunned. “Well… What should we do now? Pretend to be in conflict and break up?”


    He was a little nonplussed by her words. “Break up? Don’t even think about it!” As he spoke, he


    bent down and nibbled on her cheek.


    “Ah!” Lillian eximed in pain and rubbed her cheek where she was bitten. There were faint bite


    marks on her face. “just said we would pretend to break up. I didn’t mean we’d actually break up!”


    “That’s not allowed either! We’ve talked about this before! Once we start dating for real, we can’t


    break up!” He gently rubbed her head as he continued, “Don’t worry. I will solve the problems with


    the White family as soon as possible. It should take me three months at most!”


    Lillian suddenly felt as though Callum was about to unleash a trump card of some sort. “What are


    you going to do?”


    “Of course, we can’t cause trouble in the main branch of the White family anymore.” Callum stared


    at the other party and said, “I told you that I would not let you get involved in those nasty affairs of


    the White family, and I will keep my word!”


    Lillian smiled. “Well, I believe you can do it!”


    Her trusting eyes moved him. He leaned down and gently ced his lips on the spot where he had


    just bitten her. “Does it


    hurt?”
