Spoiled by Mr. Russell
âI donât care if youâre in my way, but whoever ordered you should come out and tell me themselves!â
she said calmly.
Then, she turned around and got into the car.
âMissâ¦Miss-â
The man stepped forward and tried to stop them but was met with a snarl from Lily. âMove! You should know better than to stop me!â
The man was stunned. Perhaps it was her formidable presence or just plain fear of her, but he eventually stepped back. Edward started the car and sped off purposefully as soon as Lily and Alexander got in.
Alexander turned his head to look at a huffy Lily and reached out to stuff a piece of candy in her mouth.
âItâs not worth being angry over taking me for a walk.â
âTheyâre just bullying us at this point!â she grumbled.
âItâs fine!â he coaxed. âYou can just bully them back!â
Lily was rendered speechless by what she heard. Then, glancing at the rearview mirror, she noticed the man who had tried to stop her trotting back into the house, seeming to go back to report what had happened.
She could see through Henryâs ambitions, but what did Jonathan want? Was he on the same boat as Henry, or were they just forming an alliance out of their selfishness?
***
There was a knock on the Lodge familyâs upstairs room door. âSir, I couldnât stop Ms. Lily. She âI got it. You can leave!â The impatience in Jonathanâs voice was evident, but it was the discipleâs lucky day that Jonathan had yet to lose his temper, so the man quickly retreated.
However, the remaining people in the room werenât as goodâtempered as Jonathan.
âUncle Jonathan, what do you mean? Is she fighting for my place?â Henry leaned on the table. behind him with a darkened face.
The older man that sat on the rattan chair squinted his eyes slightly at the rising sun. âYoung man, donât be so impatient. Youâre safe for now. Justin has already made me the head of the house. He is clearly trying to cause infighting.â
Then, Henry stretched out his hand. âIt was agreed upon in the beginning that once I got the power, I would distribute oneâthird of the Lodge familyâs property to you. Now, what? Are you changing your mind now that you are in charge? Are you trying to kick me out of this?â
âYou donât have to be so blunt about it. You know Justin is doing this on purpose. Why canât you just relax a little? The reason he gave it to me instead of you is just to convince the public. If he made you the house patriarch, are you capable of handling all these? Arenât you afraid that people might object?â
âHa! Are you saying that youâre able to convince him? Did you forget that the old man cut you.
off? Speaking of which, Iâm only calling you âuncleâ because I respect you. Otherwise, how else did you think you could become the familyâs patriarch?â Henryâs face was filled with disdain.
âAlso, you promised that brat an explanation in three days. What are you going to tell her? Are you planning to rat me out?â With each sentence, Henry stepped out of the shadows and toward Jonathan.
