Chapter 711
Lyra pointed to her head full of white hair.
Lillian looked over, her eyes slightly sore. "Your silver hair makes you look even more elegant and noble."
Hearing Lillian's words, Lyra laughed heartily.
Lyra stood up, and the younger ones couldn't sit still anymore.
Martin and the others all stood up one after another. Jenny's knees were swollen and painful, but she reluctantly stood up as well.
At this moment, Jenny watched Lyra and Lillian chatting happily, seeing Lyra enthusiastically boosting Lillian's status, and felt both sour and jealous inside.
Jenny cursed in a low voice, "What the heck, an orphaned and abandoned woman, just because she had a miscarriage, she acts like the whole world owes her. Who does she think she is? The whole family has to stand up to greet her!"
Jenny was fuming. She had just said a few words about Lillian in the private room that day, and ended up kneeling until her legs almost broke, and her parents even turned against. That bitch Lillian even dared to threaten her with the abortion papers.
Clearly, their family had suffered a great injustice, and now Lyra had called them all to the Frane Mansion to wait for Lillian.
Jenny was even forcibly brought over from the hospital. Why?
But Jenny only dared to mutter softly, complaining to Chloe beside her.
Chloe turned her head and glared at her, saying, "Shut up and behave!"
Chloe was a bit more sensible than Jenny.
How could that bitch Lillian get hold of their dirt? She must have had Jackson's help and backing.
Looking at the current situation, it didn't seem like Lyra had called Lillian back to make amends for their family. Chloe guessed that Lillian might be returning to the Frane family.
Martin stepped forward, interrupting Lyra and Lillian's lively chat, "Mom, everyone is here. Iet's sit down and talk."
Lyra looked at him impatiently, "Are you getting impatient just because I'm talking a bit more with Lillian?"
Martin frowned slightly. He couldn't do anything about Lyra, so he directed his authoritative gaze at Lillian.
It was only then that Lillian noticed everyone in the room had stood up, but she remained unfazed.
Lillian smiled and supported Lyra, pretending not to see Martin's darkened expression. "Lyra, is today a family gathering? If so, I might have come at a bad time. I can come back another day..."
Before she could finish, Kevin walked up, raised his hand, and affectionately ruffled Lillian's hair, saying, "Lia, you look even more beautiful after all this time. Being single really is the best beauty product."
Jackson's cold gaze shot over.
However, Kevin didn't withdraw his hand from Lillian's head. Instead, he put his arm around her shoulder and said, "You can't just hug Grandma. I've missed you too."
Lillian turned slightly, raising her hand and smiling as she tried to lean into Kevin's embrace.
But before she could fully turn, Kevin was yanked a few steps away by Jackson, who grabbed him by the back of his collar.
Jackson's voice was deep, "The elders are here. Behave yourself!"
Kevin sneered at Jackson and thought, 'It's just a normal sibling hug, how's that not behaving? You must be jealous.'
Kevin really wanted to tease Jackson a bit more, but it wasn't the right occasion.
Kevin knew better and said to Lillian, "Lia, Grandma and Jackson specifically called us over to wait for you. You're the main guest and the star today."
Lillian was confused and looked at Jackson beside her.
Jackson gave a slight smile, his expression somewhat reassuring, and said in a low, magnetic voice, "There are some things that need to be clarified."
Lillian didn't know what he was up to, but she was clearly already caught in his trap.
In this situation, she could only support Lyra and walk to the couch, where Lyra pulled her to sit beside her.
Jackson's uncle, Ezekiel Frane, was the first to speak, "Jackson, are you planning to remarry Lillian? Why didn't you give us a heads-up?"
Jackson bringing Lillian home and calling the whole family over did indeed look like he was bringing her back into the family.
Lillian immediately looked at Jackson, her gaze cold. Her face was also icy, clearly displeased.
If Jackson was really so domineering and thoughtless, thinking he could unilaterally announce their remarriage, she wouldn't hesitate to embarrass him on the spot.
Jackson also looked at Lillian, seeing her visibly cold expression. His lips pressed into a thin line.
Jackson's expression didn't change much. He looked at Ezekiel and said, "Uncle Ezekiel, I want to remarry her, but it's not the right time yet. I'm still trying to make amends and hope to earn her forgiveness, giving me a fair chance to pursue her. Today, I called everyone over to discuss something else."
Lillian didn't expect him to openly declare his intention to remarry and win her back. There were gasps all around, and everyone's eyes turned to her.
Lillian wasn't prepared for this and felt like Jackson had dragged her into a awkward situation. Her carefully maintained cold expression quickly turned a little red.
Everyone in the room was indeed quite shocked. They knew Jackson to be aloof, indifferent, and emotionally distant. They couldn't believe he would lower himself like this for a woman.
He made no attempt to hide his deep feelings for Lillian, showing he was trying to win her back. He was in a lower position, waiting for Lillian to come back to him.
Even Kevin, who knew the most about Jackson and Lillian's complicated love over the years, was shocked with his mouth wide open.
Jenny, on the other hand, was furious, her nails scratching deep marks into the leather sofa.
After a long silence, Ezekiel finally spoke, "This really doesn't seem like the Jackson, who is usually so aloof and untouchable."
Ezekiel's wife, Claire Dunn, also laughed and looked at Martin, mocking, "Martin, who would have thought our Frane family would have such a lovesick person?"
When Jackson got divorced, Claire had some thoughts. Recently, she had wanted to introduce her niece to Jackson. She had even arranged two chance encounters, but Jackson had been very cold.
Now seeing Jackson bring Lillian back and make such a public statement, she knew that her niece had no chance. She was a little unhappy.
Martin's expression darkened, "Jackson, we are all very busy. Save these irrelevant words for a private conversation with Lillian."
