Chapter 355 Confrontation
Jackson's expression softened slightly, then Ambrose added, "But all three times left a deep impression. The first time we met was four or five years ago, right?"
He turned to look at Lillian, who instinctively nodded.
Jackson's right fist clenched as he stared at Lillian intently, asking, "Lillian, have you known Mr. Kelly for four years? Why didn't you tell me about this?"
Lillian felt his gaze like an icy blade, ready to wound her.
Her breath hitched slightly as she met his eyes and softly said, "Did you tell me everyone you met and spent time with outside?"
She thought, 'I've known Jackson for so many years and thought I know everything about him. But what is the result? I feel like a joke, having to learn about Star from Wendy? Jackson blamed me for not telling him, but hasn't he hidden just as much from me? He has been at the hospital with Star early on, and now he is here to stop my dream. He simply doesn't want me to join the dance troupe, worries about the Frane family child I'm carrying, the child that can save a life. Has he ever truly cared about what I want, whether I would be happy?'
Lillian's heart ached unbearably, her jaw clenched tightly, and she stubbornly stared back at Jackson.
Jackson was about to be driven mad by Lillian!
He had never known she had such a rebellious and strong-willed side.
Jackson coldly averted his gaze, worried that if he looked at her any longer, he wouldn't be able to resist pulling her into his arms and spanking her in public.
He then turned his gaze to Ambrose and said, "There are only three encounters for you. Since you're not familiar with Lillian, Mr. Kelly, please don't meddle in my wife's affairs. Step aside!"
Ambrose responded with a faint smile, "We're not familiar now, but I believe we will be in the future. After all, Lillian joined the Kelly Group's dance troupe, so we'll have many opportunities to work together."
Jackson retorted, "Even if you become familiar with Lillian in the future, some matters are not for you to interfere with. You should understand boundaries, shouldn't you?"
Ambrose insisted, "Since Lillian agreed, she is now part of the dance troupe. Mr. Frane, if she doesn't want to leave, I won't let anyone take away a member of the Kelly Group's dance troupe!"
Jackson's face turned gloomy, and Ambrose responded in a similarly stern tone.
The air seemed to be filled with the scent of gunpowder.
With things escalating like this, Lillian felt a bit uneasy.
At this moment, Nathan also jumped off the stage and walked over. He stood next to Lillian and comforted her. "Lillian, don't worry. Even if Jackson's your husband, he has no right to control what you want to do."
Lillian turned and forced a smile at Nathan.
Seeing Lillia standing behind the Kellys and clearly opposing him, Jackson sneered and said, "Mr. Kelly, don't forget that the dance troupe's performance is primarily held in Miracalia. I still have some influence in Miracalia."
Jackson almost directly threatened that without his permission, even if Lillian joined the dance troupe and rehearsed diligently, the performance would never make it to the stage.
Lillian suddenly raised her head and glared at Jackson with in disbelief.
She hadn't expected him to be so ruthless.
To stop her, he would go to such lengths.
Jackson looked back at her coldly and said again in a deep voice, "Come here now!"
Lillian's nails dug into her palms, causing a sharp pain, and her breath was caught.
Just as she was about to step forward, Ambrose chuckled lightly and stepped slightly to block her, saying, "Mr. Frane, you're modest. I am well aware of your influence in Miracalia. Not just this performance, but even barring the Kelly Group's dance troupe from Miracalia would be just a word from you. However, this performance doesn't have to be held in Miracalia."
Jackson did not respond to Ambrose's provocative words, his gaze still piercing through to Lillian.
He knew Lillian wouldn't want to delay the entire dance troupe because of her. And she also wouldn't want to owe Ambrose such a huge favor.
He waited for her to come over.
