Chapter 46
Everyone in the Smith family was confused. They didn't understand what was happening. Andrew was still being polite to them just a second ago. Yet, he had now gone berserk.
"Mr. Miller, you've gone crazy. How could you hit Mr. Reeves?" Lyra was furious when she saw Taylor getting hit.
Andrew had slapped Lyra hard. "Shut up. He's just an unimportant rich brat. Who do you think he is?"
"Aren't you close with Mr. Reeves? You guys were having such a nice chat before," Lyra replied angrily.
"As if! He's absolutely worthless in my eyes." Andrew spat on Lyra in disgust.
Andrew was just only being polite to them for Lillian's sake. Never could he imagine they would bully Lillian. It seemed that the Smith family was seeking death!
Andrew only ordered the few members of the Shadowtiger to stop after they beat Belinda half to death. Then, Andrew looked at Elijah and said, "I still have the contract with Skylink Corporation with me. But it'll only be prepared for Ms. Lillian. Don't even think of taking it over yourself!"
After saying that, Andrew left with his men angrily.
"Why did this happen? Lillian provoked Mr. Miller before, so why is he protecting her now?" Elijah furrowed his eyebrows and tried to think of a reason.
An idea suddenly popped into Taylor's head. "I know! Didn't you guys say that Mr. Miller has mental issues? Normal people wouldn't chop off their own hands!"
"That must be it. Lillian is so lucky not to have seen him go berserk. How disgusting." Lyra gritted her teeth in anger.
Elijah also believed this explanation and nodded. He couldn't think of any other possible reasons.
"Regardless, Mr. Miller is protecting Lillian. You should go and ask her to come back and sign the contract," Elijah said.
"Grandpa, Mr. Miller is just having a relapse. He'll recover sooner or later and regret his actions. How could you ask her to come back?" Lyra said angrily. Lucas also hurriedly added, "That's right. I'm the company's CEO, so I should be the one to deal with this contract."
"What if he won't recover?" Elijah retorted.
Everyone fell speechless.
"Okay. That's settled, then. Ronan, get your daughter to come back," Elijah said.
Ronan nodded and gave Lillian a call. However, the call couldn't go through. "She powered off her phone."
"Go to her house, then. We must make sure she comes back to sign the contract," Elijah replied, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Grandpa, why don't I go? Uncle Ronan is her elderly, after all. It'll be better if I go instead," Lyra suggested.
Elijah thought it made sense, so he nodded in approval.
A cunning smile appeared on Lyra's lips as she thought, "Lillian, I won't give you the chance to turn things around."
Lyra and Taylor quickly drove to the villa Lillian lived in.
"Lillian, get the fuck out!" Lyra shouted while banging on the door.
"Lyra, what are you doing? Didn't Grandpa ask you to invite her back? Why are you being so rude?" Taylor asked in confusion.
"Who says I want to invite her back? Since she has already been kicked out of the family, I won't give her the chance to go back anymore," Lyra sneered. After saying that, Lyra banged on the door again. "Lillian, hurry out!"
At this moment, Sebastian had gone out to buy groceries and was not in the villa.
Lillian came out to open the door when she heard the commotion.
"Lyra, when did you come back?" Lillian was a bit surprised.
Suddenly, Lyra reached out and slapped her. Immediately, fingerprints appeared on Lillian's cheek.
"Why did you slap me?" Lillian was surprised yet angry as she covered her face.
