Chapter 118 Lilith‘s Taught a Lesson
Suddenly, Lilith's face froze, her pupils shrinking. "You deliberately deceived me today!"
Queenie smiled faintly. "My husband didn't say a word. You're feeling guilty all on your own."
With that, Queenie pushed Benoit's wheelchair, ready to leave. She glanced at Kate and said, "Remember this person. If she dares to touch me, you give her ten in return!"
"Alright, that's simple!" Kate responded confidently.
Lilith, whose raised hand was now left with no place to go, could only awkwardly lower it. She glared at the departing figures of the two, livid with anger.
Before long, Lilith's phone started ringing.
When she answered the call, Jacob's commanding voice came through.
"Come home immediately." He hung up after saying that.
Lilith held the mobile phone and glanced at Barbara beside her before speaking, "I warn you, don't get too close to Mr. Clancy. As you just witnessed, our families have officially fallen out. And Simms, don't even think about it! I won't let you join their side."
Barbara immediately became angry upon hearing this. "Mom, who do you think you are to control me? I can be with whoever I like! It's none of your business!"
"You!" Lilith gave Barbara a frustrated look. "I'm going to your grandfather's now! We'll talk when I come back!"
After saying that, Lilith hurriedly ran back to her parents' house and entered Jacob's study.
"Dad…" Before the sound of her voice faded, a fierce slap landed on her face.
Lilith was bewildered, not understanding why she was slapped.
"Dad?" Lilith held her burning cheek, filled with questions.
Jacob angrily slammed the table next to him and shouted, "I told you not to provoke Benoit, not to mess with that madman, why didn't you listen to me?"
Lilith furrowed her brows slightly. "Dad, did Benoit say something to you? I can explain everything."
Before she could finish her sentence, Jacob threw a CD at Lilith's face.
"Explain? Explain how you approached Daniel and how you went to him every time for loans. It was all caught on surveillance. Even the audio was crystal clear!"
Lilith took a sharp breath and felt the blood rush to her head.
"That idiot Daniel... how dare he!"
Jacob paced back and forth in his study, his hands behind his back.
"How dare he? If you don't have the ability, don't compete with Benoit!"
"Dad, I'm doing this for our family!"
"For our family?" Jacob sneered, "You just had to not drag us down. In order to retrieve these pieces of evidence against you, I gave Benoit a piece of land for free!"
"What? For free!" Lilith exclaimed in shock but immediately fell silent.
Jacob stared at her sharply, "What else can I do? Where can I put my face if our daughter is involved in loaning money? What about the company's stock price? I'm warning you, from today onwards, you are not allowed to provoke that mad dog anymore! Focus on yourself, and don't interfere with anything else. I have three sons. There is no need for a woman like you to handle things!"
…
On their way back to the apartment, Queenie couldn't help but ask Benoit, "What kind of person is Pollard's father?"
Having been in a relationship with Pollard for three years, Queenie hadn't seen his father many times.
She vaguely remembered that he was thin, liked to wear white clothes, and seemed to have an easygoing and approachable demeanor.
Benoit pondered for a moment and chuckled softly. "In some ways, my second brother is quite similar to Pollard. You'll see in due time."
Queenie caught the essence of his words and speculated, "Lilith must be worried about something involving Pollard."
"Does Uncle know about these things?"
"Yes." Benoit nodded.
"Then how dare she plot against me? Barbara, Pollard, and Second Uncle, none of them would support her."
"She is blinded by self-interest. Just when the next target approached her and promised to bring along their property, Lilith probably wanted to settle the engagement quickly before my second brother's experimentation in the lab was completed. By then, everything would be settled, and my eldest brother and my parents wouldn't have much to say!"
"Absolutely insane." Queenie said, as if she had realized something, her expression changed. "I remember that your second brother's birthday is coming up soon..."
"Yes." Benoit nodded. "So you should be careful lately."
"Alright."
The next day, Queenie returned to the office and opened her computer, only to be dumbfounded by the notification.
