Chapter 147

Lily gave Susan a look, not bothering to respond to her. She pivoted and took her leave swiftly. Susan stilled, looking utterly mortified. In the end, she fell silent and followed Julia to Loid’s ward.

“Mr. Laurier, Mrs, Laurier, we’re here to visit Mr. Loid,” Jaha said. Noticing that Stelan and Melanie were both in the ward, she took on a humble demeanor.

Melanie shot an indifferent glance at her. She still maintained a polite tone for Lily’s sake nonetheless. “Thanks for your concem, Mrs. Goldberg.”

Julia glanced at Susan, signaling her to present their gifts. Susan immediately produced the gifts and set them on the table. Then, she retreated behind Julia, trying her best to

appear courteous

Little did Susan know that Melanie couldn’t be bothered about her. She wouldn’t even spare Susan a glance if it weren’t for Julia –

“I wasn’t sure what Mr. Loid prefers, so I bought some nutritional supplements. Please forgive my candor, Mrs. Laurier,” Julia said politely and smiled.

“I appreciate your visit, but the gifts are unnecessary. Loid has just undergone surgery, and he won’t need these yet. They might expire before he needs them,” Melanie replied.

Julia froze and Lashed her a sheepish smile. This is just a small token of our concem. Please do accept it, Mrs. Laurier.”

They had upset Lold due to Shannon’s incident before, so Julia was desperate to please them

The Martinez family’s business had gone downhill after Loid withdrew his investment, and they were bound to go bankrupt if they couldn’t get any funding soon.

Having established the Martinez Group single–handedly, Julia couldn’t bear to watch it go under. Thus, she had to swallow her pride and seek Lold’s help.

“Well, thank you then.” Melanie didn’t refuse further. She planned to give them another gift after this since she didn’t want to owe them a favor.

Julia smiled and changed the subject timely. “I saw Lily going out earer. She’s always been reckless and ignorant since she was young, so perhaps she wasn’t aware that she had to stay back and take care of Mr. Loid at this time. Please forgive her for her impudence, Mrs. Laurier.”

Melanie despised the Martinezes, but she endured their visit regardless. Her expression immediately darkened after Jula criticized Lily.

even if she wanted to stay, I told her to leave. Are you against my decision?”

“Mrs. Goldberg, where Lily goes is her own business. She’s not obligated to take care of Lold M Julia stiffened. “Mrs. Laurier, you’ve misunderstood. I was only worried that Lily might upset you.” She thought the Lauriers would’ve been infuriated upon Lily’s departure after Loid’s surgery.

Loid suffered multiple injuries, but Lily merely left Stefan and Melanie with him. Thus, julia brought this tople up intentionally, intending to make Melanie despise Lily and also to display her humility before Melanie. Little did she expect to tile Melanie up.

“Lily’s a dear. She’s obedient, thoughtful, and considerate. We care for her more than we can express. Why would we be mad?” Melanie rose and met Julia’s gaze.

“However, you lot seem to have some opinions about her. Do you think her status as a stepdaughter isn’t worthy of your family’s status?”

Julia’s heart skipped a beat. “Who said that? That isn’t true at all I’ve always treated her as my granddaughter, and I’ve never mistreated her.”

Melanie sneered. “You cam spare me the rest. I don’t need to know what Lily is like from others. She’s my daughter–in–law, and I am well aware of what she’s like.”

Trackler and uncouth Inst what did Melanie see in her?
