Chapter 271: You Sold a Gold Mountain in Exchange for Some Petty Profits?
It was Chandler who pushed Mrs. Lou; so they were in the wrong in this matter.
Seeing that Lily has no words to say, Brianna curls her lips into a light smile and says triumphantly,
“Miss Lily is thoughtless. I would pass over this matter this time. But I hope you will learn to respect the
senior and behave yourself in the future.”
“Mrs. Lou, I don’t need you to teach my subordinate how to behave.” The man’s calm and powerful
voice rumbles as a wide palm pats on Lily’s shoulder, which reassures Lily instantly.
Brianna glances at the man, “It’s you, Louis.”
Louis nods imperceptibly. He stands by Lily’s side with his well-built body leaning on Lily’s, giving her a
best shelter, “Ma’am, I know best about her quality. I think you’re clear about some matters too.”
“What do you know?” Brianna asks, “I don’t want to talk too much into this. But Louis, since you and
Daniel are good friends, I have to remind you to be wary of some persons.”
Louis squints his eyes with coldness flashing across them, “Ma’am, it’s not a wise choice to offend
each other openly. The reason why I’m talking politely with you is that I and Daniel are good friends.”
Brianna is exasperated, “Kid, you really can’t appreciate what’s good. Do you know that she…”
“Are you trying to tell him about the contract?” Lily interrupts her and adds coldly, “No need to bother
you. I’ll tell him what should be exposed in person.”
Without saying other words, she holds up Louis hand as well as Chandler’s and leaves with them.
“Daniel, see what Louis was doing!” Brianna is pissed off as she was disrespected by the juniors
tonight, “I was just giving him some earnest advices, yet he retorted me with that tone.”
Daniel replies coldly, “Mom, it has nothing to do with you even if I and Daniel are good friends. He’s not
your biological son after all. He has shown you some respect as he said that politely to you after you
bullying her woman.”
“Daniel, which side are you on?”
Daniel doesn’t reply; instead, he asks, “Did you threaten Lily with the contract?”
Brianna resorts to sophistry, “She didn’t respect the senior; so did the child at her side. He’s so young
yet he has great strength. Geez! He even pushed me into the pond!”
That child was also here?
Daniel glances at the entrance yet fails to find Louis and the others. In retrospect, Lily seemed to be
trying to conceal something behind her back just now. It turns out that she was trying to hide this little
kid.
“Mom, you’re also clear about Louis’ personality.” Daniel closes his lips and says blandly, “If you
exasperate him and is then driven out of Yorkshire, I won’t give you a hand.”
“Daniel, aren’t I your mother?” Brianna hasn’t expected that her son would speak to her in such a
manner, “I did those for your sake.”
“If it wasn’t that you were still hung up on that woman, Stella Scott, would I do those things? Why are
you into that kind of woman instead of the other? Her family background is really humiliating!”
Daniel retorts impatiently, “We have broken up with each other!”
Brianna grabs his hand. As expected, there’s a ring around his finger. Looks like Stella wasn’t telling a
lie back then!
She questions, “You said you have split up. Then what’s this? You know that Stella and Louis will have
a fake marriage, and plan to marry Stella when the things are settled, right?”
“So what?”
“So what?” Brianna raises her tone of voice and says loudly and sternly, “I warn you, Daniel Lou, I’ll
accept it even if you choose to marry a beggar, but I won’t accept Stella Scott! What will others think of
us if she marries into our family? You’re a solider, yet you marry a daughter of a home-wrecker!”
“Enough is enough!” Daniel says with a sullen face, “Her mom didn’t intend to be a home-wrecker.
Plus, she has become his legal wife after living in the Scott family. Why are you always dwelling on her
family background? In this way, are those people who born with a lowly family background deprived of
human rights?”
Brianna sneers, “You know so much about this. You secretly paid attention to her affairs, right? Daniel,
if you’re still hung up on that woman, I’ll divorce your father!”
Daniel retorts in a cold voice, “You’re so autocratic. Does it have anything to do with my dad?”
“He didn’t give you a good upbringing. This was the mistake he made!”
“You’re still wet. I’ll send you back.” The Scott family is the host of this party after all and therefore
Daniel doesn’t want to argue with Brianna here.
Brianna shakes of his hand and smooths out her cheongsam, “I can go back by myself. Since you get
this opportunity today, you should go and make things clear with Stella Scott: Even if she has a high
status today, she’s not eligible to marry into our family.”
Daniel rubs his temples, feeling extremely perturbed.
Lily stops a taxi for Chandler after they walk out of the Hotel and hails one for she herself and Louis
thereafter.
Louis asks, “We’re all coming back to the apartment, why did you specially hail a taxi for him and ask
him to come back alone.”
“Don’t worry. Although he looks young, he’s good at many aspects.” Lily waves her hand, “We’ll go
back to your house, not the apartment.” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Louis nods, having no opinion about this.
Lily feels rather perturbed seeing him acting in this way. The two of them keep silence for a while
before Lily finally asks, “Why don’t you ask me about us going back to your house instead?”
“It’s not your first time to my home, should I ask about this?” Louis peeks at her, “Comparing to this, I’m
more interest in the ‘contract’ that Mrs. Lou mentioned back then.”
“It’s…” The contents of the contract are quite complicated. Lily stammers, not knowing how to narrate
it.”
“Is there any inside story?” Louis’ tone also becomes serious.
Lily begs, “I can tell you about this. But can you please not be get mad at me thereafter?”
“It depends.”
This man is way too composed!
Knowing that if she doesn’t tell him now, he would be angrier after knowing about this from Daniel or
Mrs. Lou, Lily braces herself and speaks.
She exposes all the things to him, from when Daniel came to her at the very beginning to why Mrs. Lou
came to her later.
She tells him all.
Three minutes after she finishes the story, the man is still sitting by her side cross-legged. There’s no
expressional change on his face except that his gaze becomes even gloomier. It’s as if he’s not
angered by it at all.
Lily covers her chest with one hand and thinks to herself, ‘It’s nothing. He wouldn’t be angered by this.”
But at the next second, Louis asks with a low voice, “Daniel came to you with the contract, asking you
to stay away from me and telling you that you’ll get several houses and sports cars as long as I marry
Stella, and you signed the contract without hesitation, right?”
“No! No!” Lily hastily replies, “Mr. Daniel thought Ms. Stella is into you and regarded me as a third
person in your relationship; therefore, he came to persuade me.”
“So you signed the contract without hesitation?”
“I had no choice back then.” Lily secretly apologizes to Daniel in her heart and then adds, “You know,
Mr. Daniel looks ferocious. I feared that he would make troubles for my parents if I didn’t agree with it.”
Louis sneers, “Oh, yes? I have known Daniel for years, why don’t I know that he’s a person who likes to
vent his anger on one’s parents if that person doesn’t agree with him?”
Lily smiles embarrassedly, “Maybe I thought too much back then.”
“Lily, are you blind? Huh?” Louis puts one hand on her cheek, his eyes sullen, “You sold me, a golden
mountain in exchange for some petty profits?”
Lily raises her hand weakly and mutters, “I swear, it was Mr. Daniel who forced me to sign the contract.
In addition, you were also wrong. Even if it was a fake marriage, you should inform Mr. Daniel. You
made him feel jealous and involved me in troubles.”
