Chapter 217
\nA Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 217<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you really appreciate me, I will humbly accept, and thank you.\u201d Lily dislikes Brianna\u2019s arrogant attitude, and that tone which makes people uncomfortable. \u201cPlease tell me what you need directly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brianna elegantly sips on her cup of coffee, \u201cI\u2019ve seen the contract between you and Daniel. Your family background isn\u2019t that great, but if you\u2019re hard working enough, you might just be able to pass and get together with my son.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve seen it?\u201d She thinks of the contract between herself and Daniel and can never imagine he will even let Brianna look through it. The anger in her is burning, she then says, \u201cMr. Daniel is just joking with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether or not it\u2019s a joke, I can tell.\u201d Brianna narrows her eyes, her tone revealing dissatisfaction, \u201cMy son\u2019s too stubborn, of all people he could want, he went for a bastard daughter. Hmph, she really has some charms. It\u2019s been 4 years. He actually signed this contract with you for her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut never mind now.\u201d She then says, \u201cIt\u2019s a waste that a man like President Smith is married to Stella, but when they get married, I will be relieved.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily and Stella aren\u2019t close, and she does not want to be a busybody, but Brianna\u2019s tone makes her angry, \u201cDon\u2019t keep talking about bastard daughters, Miss Scott is already recognised and accepted by the Scott family. She has already entered the Scott hierarchy, don’t you know? She owns 20% of the Scott Group\u2019s stock.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brianna smiles with disdain, \u201cShe really had some abilities – only could she force the Scott\u2019s to recognise her. But in my heart, she\u2019s a bastard daughter from head to toe, this is unchangeable.\u201d<\/p>\n
How can the Lou family be contaminated by a bastard daughter?<\/p>\n
\u201cMy son is a smart man; he had a bright future ahead of him.\u201d Brianna\u2019s face went dark, \u201cIf it isn\u2019t for that goddamned bastard daughter, he would\u2019ve taken over his father\u2019s place!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s your problem if you don\u2019t like her, I don\u2019t have the right to interfere.\u201d Lily stands up from her chair, \u201cI don\u2019t have anything more to say to you, I\u2019ll take my leave.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brianna follows her and pulls her hand, looking as if they are close. \u201cI admit that I don\u2019t like her, but I still like you, Miss Lily.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI can tell that Daniel really likes you, and you\u2019re a motivated person. You\u2019re now HZ Group\u2019s vice president, if you can get the Lou family\u2019s help, you could thread smoothly from then on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily is disgusted.<\/p>\n
This Brianna really is a drama queen. She was so arrogant before, and she was trying to intimidate her. But seeing Lily not falling for her, she goes ahead to pull her hand and act as if they are so close. She\u2019s really awesome!<\/p>\n
\u201cAuntie, I\u2019m not interested in your son. Your son isn’t interested in me either.\u201d Lily pulls her hand away, her attitude strong and cold. \u201cWhatever I wish to gain, I would do it myself. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brianna holds on tightly to her hand, her smile light. \u201cIt\u2019s okay, you can start being friends first. You might not know, maybe after time, you might develop some feelings. You are a nice girl.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t have anything to give you either. But this jade bangle is given to me by Daniel\u2019s grandmother.\u201d<\/p>\n
As she says this, she takes off the purple jade bangle from her thin wrist. Not waiting for Lily to react, she takes her hand and pushes the bangle directly onto her wrist.<\/p>\n
Lily isn\u2019t as groomed as Brianna; her wrists are definitely stiffer. When the bangle is forced onto her, the pain shoots through her lungs and kidneys, and she takes in a deep, cold breath.<\/p>\n
Lily\u2019s expression is slightly twisted and she is almost unable to speak, \u201cAuntie, you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
She swallows the vulgar words back into her throat because of her good upbringing and takes in another cold breath, while Brianna holds her hand, and smiles, \u201cThis is just a small gift, keep it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI thank you very much!\u201d Lily forces the words out through her gritted teeth. The pain is all she could focus on, and she does not notice the lenses that are focused on them for quite some time already.<\/p>\n
Lily is already having a hard time escaping from Brianna. Looking at her red, swollen wrists, she wants to smash the bangle to pieces. But she is also afraid that Brianna would want it back, so she stomps angrily into a jade store.<\/p>\n
\u201cHelp me take this off, but don\u2019t spoil it.\u201d<\/p>\n
A few people in the shop come over to help and put on a whole dollop of moisturizer onto her hands, trying to take off the jade bangle. But because when Brianna was putting it on for her, it was forced on. So, both sides of her wrists hurt when they touches them. It is only when a helper holds onto Lily\u2019s arm, did they manage to take off the bangle.<\/p>\n
Lily massages her brows, also frustrated, \u201cTechnically he couldn\u2019t be your dad either!\u201d<\/p>\n
If that\u2019s the case, isn\u2019t the whole relationship messier?<\/p>\n
Chandler raises his head to look at Lily, his eyes shining, \u201cLily, do you like that President Smith? How about this – I\u2019ll help you and President Smith elope!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou, what are you talking about!\u201d Lily chokes on her curry and her face turns red. She chugs a whole cup of water, and says in a bashing manner, \u201cWho would like that man?<\/p>\n
Chandler continues asking, \u201cThen why did you say that he couldn\u2019t be my dad?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018Because he\u2019s your father\u2019s buddy!\u2019<\/p>\n
Lily rubs her forehead and says, \u201cBecause he\u2019s not a good man, you know? I\u2019m scared that if your mum marries him, she would suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think so.\u201d Chandler agrees with her, and disclaims, \u201cHe\u2019s not handsome either, and he\u2019s far inferior to my dad. I don\u2019t even know how he managed to earn so much money.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c…\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLily, you\u2019re so smart, don\u2019t you have any ideas?\u201d Chandler looks at her with puppy eyes. Those pink cheeks of his really trigger Lily\u2019s impulse to pinch them.<\/p>\n
Lily says, \u201cI really don\u2019t. What about you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMe too.\u201d Chandler scratches the back of his head, deep in thought.<\/p>\n
Then his eyes light up, and he tells Lily, \u201cHow about when we attend their wedding, we find someone to crash it, saying that he\u2019s a womanizer. Maybe then they won\u2019t work out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2154","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
