Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Kingsland was quite a distance away from Brown City. They would take the plane to Brown. City, then rush to the Lodge Familyâs residence immediately after.
They hurried to the airport in Kingsland. Before boarding the plane, Lily called Justin, and she could feel that he was much more silent than usual. Upon knowing she was going home, he rejected her right away. âYou donât need to come back. Just continue with whatever youâre doing.â
âJustin?â Apart from being bewildered, Lily was mad at him too. âHow can I not return home at such a time? Grandpa was doing fine. How did he pass away so suddenly? What happened?â Lily could understand Justinâs reason for stopping her from coming home if it was in the However, their grandfather had passed away. How could she not return home? Moreover, she past. thought they had resolved all their issues the last time she returned to the Lodge familyâs residence, but why was Justin stopping her from returning now?
The silence was getting unbearable. A moment later, Lily could no longer hold it in and was about to speak, but Justin beat her to it. âOkay then. Come back if you want to. Are you coming back alone?â
Lily turned to look at the man beside her. âAlex is coming back with me too.â
âThatâs great.â She could hear Justinâs sigh of relief before continuing, âBe careful on the road. Also, come back home directly and donât make any stops on the way home.â After giving Lily some reminders, Justin hung up.
Lily was stuck in her thoughts for a long time, pondering over Justinâs words. Something about him felt off to her.
âWhatâs wrong?â Alexander asked.
Shaking her head, she replied, âI donât know. Something doesnât add up, but I canât pinpoint. it. Justin initially stopped me from returning but agreed to it later.â
âItâs good news as long as he agrees to it, isnât it?â Nodding, Alexander continued, Moreover, his approval doesnât matter in this case, where youâre returning because of grandpaâs death.â
your âHis attitude was weird, though. Also, he told us not to make any stops and just head back. home directly. I have a feeling something has happened at home.â
Lily could not be sure as she had not yet returned home to see the situation. However, from her understanding of Justin all these years, he was not someone who would be reluctant when he spoke.
That was why the way he had acted earlier appeared strange to her.
After a moment of silence, Alexander probably felt that Lilyâs words also made sense. Edward, find out who has visited the Lodge familyâs residence recently, as well as the people. managing Mr. Lodgeâs funeral and the person managing the Lodge family affairs now.â
Edward nodded and returned to his original position to start working on his task.
IL Lily found Alexanderâs order weird. âThe person managing the family? Justin has been doing that since my grandpaâs health declined, which made him retire.â Lily was sure of this, so she did not understand why Alexander wanted to check on that.
Alexander gave Lily a profound gaze before he explained, looking down at the watch on his wrist, âWe canât be entirely sure of that. We still have time to look it up.â
Finally, Lily realized there was a hidden meaning behind Alexanderâs words. In retrospect, she remembered her grandfather had always managed the family. It was just that he focused more on the familyâs kickboxing skills rather than the companyâs development. That was why the familyâs business went through a crisis once.
At the time, Lily was still young and was living with the Lodge family. She did not know much about the companyâs matters, but she vaguely remembered that the family members were in dispute once, and she had an uncle who was present.
Her uncle went overseas after that, and Justin, who had just come of age, took over the familyâs business. Fortunately, he was brilliant and managed to save the family from its crisis, which helped it to be as successful as it was today.
