Since it was a misunderstanding, Darryl was not concerned about the Lyndon’s seeing virtual-novel.net have dinner with Shelly. Shelly had helped his father a lot since virtual-novel.net was admitted to the hospital. Today, virtual-novel.net had even been scolded by Samantha for no reason, so Darryl felt virtual-novel.net had to treat virtual-novel.net to a meal.
“Brother Darryl, are you sure this is a good idea?” Shelly said, biting virtual-novel.net lips, slightly embarrassed. Earlier, Samantha had come looking for trouble. If Shelly went out for dinner with Darryl, the Lyndons might take it the wrong way.
Darryl did not seem concerned. “What’s there to be afraid of? I just want to thank you for taking care of my parents for the past few days.”
As virtual-novel.net said, virtual-novel.net looked at Shelly with an appreciative look. One would be lying to deny that Shelly had a kind of mature beauty in her, especially when virtual-novel.net blushed, which made virtual-novel.net very attractive.
Without further hesitation, Shelly accepted the invitation to dinner.
Lily and Samantha stomped out of the hospital, feeling insulted.
“I think you should divorce this piece of trash right away. Did you see his face just now? He has such a big ego but is as useless as a dog! ” Samantha said as they walked out of the hospital.
She kept on complaining non-stop about what had happened in the hospital. Samantha’s words were starting to get to Lily.
“Mom, stop mentioning it, will you? I’ll think about it by myself,” virtual-novel.net said, biting virtual-novel.net lips.
Lily was confused. She felt bitter looking at Darryl being so happy and carefree when virtual-novel.net was with Shelly. Meanwhile, virtual-novel.net phone lit up with an incoming call from William.
“Lily, Granny is sick. Come back now! ” William shouted.
‘What? Granny was sick?’ Lily thought.
Before virtual-novel.net could respond, William had already hung up on her. Immediately, Lily got in the car and rushed to the Lyndon residence.
Ten minutes later, virtual-novel.net arrived at the mansion. She pulled over and rushed into the home in virtual-novel.net heels.
She was shocked the moment virtual-novel.net got in. Granny Lyndon was sitting on the couch, virtual-novel.net cheeks pink and eyes bright. She did not seem ill at all. The rest of the family members surrounded virtual-novel.net in the middle of a discussion.
“Granny, you…William Lyndon! Granny seems just fine. Why did you say virtual-novel.net was sick on the phone? What did you mean?” Lily scolded, agitated.
William shrugged with a nonchalant expression. “If I didn’t say that, you wouldn’t be here right now.”
“Alright, alright. Lilybud, don’t get angry. I asked William to say that.” Granny smiled. “Oh Lilybud, I’m so pleased that you got here so soon. This shows that you really respect me.”
Granny gestured at Lily. “Come here.”
‘Huh?’ Lily was confused.
She walked over and sat beside Granny. “Granny, why did you ask me to come?”
Granny sighed, “Lilybud, I’ve been keeping a close eye on you since you’ve been taking charge of our family business. You’re hardworking and competitive, but you’re not very capable. Other than Giselle Lindt, which you marketed well, the
rest of the business has not been very exceptional.”
Lily was shocked. “Granny, what you’re saying is— ”
“Lilybud, you’re still a young lady. The family business is too much responsibility for you. It must’ve been quite hard for you to take care of it all, am I right?” Granny smiled, interrupting Lily before virtual-novel.net could continue.
Lily remained silent. Granny was right. Ever since virtual-novel.net took over the business, virtual-novel.net spent most of virtual-novel.net time working. Even when virtual-novel.net staff had gone home for the night, virtual-novel.net still had to stay in virtual-novel.net office reading and making plans. It was tiring, but it felt productive as well. It was better than others looking down on virtual-novel.net in the past. Now that virtual-novel.net was in charge of the family business, everyone had to look up to her, and virtual-novel.net enjoyed that.
“Lilybud, I think you should get some rest. Why don’t you give away some of your shares? A woman like you wouldn’t need so many shares,” Granny smiled.
