After Lily returned home, she had her dinner while contemplating asking her father to talk to Jack on her behalf.
She thought that instead of having a public review in front of the whole school, she could personally apologize to Elizabeth.
This was the furthest she was willing to go.
Since her childhood, she was used to getting her way. Even if she made mistakes, she never felt she was wrong.
As soon as Robert walked through the door and saw Lily nonchalantly eating her dinner, a wave of anger washed over him.
He briskly walked up to her and, without a word, flipped her dinner plate.
“With all the trouble you’ve caused, you still have the mood to eat?” he exclaimed.
Lily glared at Robert, shouting angrily, “What do you think you’re doing?”
“I wish I could smack some sense into you!”
With that, Robert raised his hand and slapped Lily hard across the face.
The slap echoed loudly.
Lily’s ears rang, and stars filled her vision as she held her stinging cheek.
She wasn’t one to be bullied, so she stood up, her neck stiffening, and yelled, “How dare you hit me! If you hit me again, I’ll make sure it’s the last thing you see! ”
“You…”
Robert was so enraged he felt as if he might have a heart attack. Shaking a trembling finger at her, he snapped, “I warned you not to provoke Elizabeth! And here you are, setting her up? You’ve utterly disgraced me!”
The previous day, Jack had called, questioning him. Robert, almost fifty, had to humble himself before this younger man, apologizing over and over. He felt deeply humiliated.
Lily was initially defiant, but upon hearing what the issue was about, her voice wavered, “You can’t hit me over this. Why are you defending Elizabeth? Do you still consider me your daughter?”
“I not only want to hit you but strangle you!” Robert lamented his failure in disciplining Lily, who kept causing trouble for him.
“If the Wilson family decides to, they could bankrupt us in no time! Are you trying to get us ruined?”
Lily avoided his gaze.
She was well aware of the implications.
That’s why she wanted to tarnish Elizabeth’s reputation using Ben.
Everything had seemed foolproof, but who could have predicted the existence of surveillance footage? Now even Ben was avoiding her.
Would the Wilson family really mobilize their forces over a squabble between youngsters?
Destroying a company still requires significant time and resources.
Regaining some confidence, Lily retorted, “I just can’t stand her! I was trying to avenge you. If it wasn’t for her, would our business have been suppressed?”
Hearing this, some of Robert’s anger dissipated, “Why are you, a mere child, meddling in these matters? Did I ask for your revenge? Regardless, you must apologize to the Wilsons!”
“I won’t,” Lily stubbornly replied. “Dad, can you please talk to Jack? I don’t want a public review in front of the whole school. I have my dignity.”
“What? A public review for the whole school?”
Robert was unaware of this development. Hearing Lily’s plea, he immediately shut her down, “If that’s their decision, you’d better follow through.”
Gasping for breath, Lily responded, “She’s deliberately trying to embarrass me in front of all my peers!”
Robert, tired of her excuses, declared, “Then drop out! I’ll send you to a boarding school. Choose whichever you like. Until then, your allowance is cut off!”
With that, he stormed upstairs.
Lily turned pale, instantly regretful.
While she might not fear her father ordinarily, when he was serious, she didn’t dare refute him.
She definitely didn’t want to be transferred to a third-rate school. Her rivals, especially Elizabeth’s followers, would mock her endlessly!
The next morning, as soon as Elizabeth woke up, a punctual call from Peter came through..
