CHAPTER 152: CHAPTER 150: BLACK-FACED

"You can try, I’ll only give you one day, just one day!"

After saying this, Elliana Lyle immediately hung up the phone; she really didn’t want to hear Shawn Lyle’s voice anymore.

Pikachu♪～

Just after she hung up, Shawn Lyle called her again.

Without hesitation, she answered.

"Elliana, it’s your dad, I might have spoken harshly. Come back, let’s meet and talk properly, okay?"

The 360-degree shift in attitude made her inexplicably amused. Shawn Lyle has always been a bully to the weak and feared the strong. He must be afraid she’d do something against him or Emily Lyle.

But clearly she was the one...

Forget it, she’d rather not be Shawn Lyle’s daughter.

Going back was impossible; she was often locked up by Shawn Lyle as a child, and if she went back now, she feared she wouldn’t be able to leave again.

"There’s nothing to talk about, think it over before you discuss with me again."

Just as she was about to hang up, she heard a girl’s voice on the other end.

"Sister! I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, please come back, don’t make it hard for dad. We should meet and talk calmly, there’s a misunderstanding here! Let’s discuss it, please?"

It was Emily Lyle’s voice, pitifully pleading!

How could she not see that Emily Lyle had this skill, she could act much better than someone in showbiz like Elliana herself.

"There’s no misunderstanding, I don’t want to talk to you, and you’re not qualified to talk to me!"

...

―――Lyle Family Mansion.

In the master bedroom.

Beep―――!

The call had already been disconnected, Emily Lyle holding the phone was at a loss, tears of grievance immediately welled up.

She couldn’t understand why Elliana was treating her this way!

"Dad, sister hung up."

Sitting on the sofa, Shawn Lyle was so angry his nostrils flared, and his already dark face was now even darker.

He never imagined that the daughter he raised would dare to threaten him like this!

If the matter of Emily Lyle being an illegitimate daughter got out, the reputation he painstakingly maintained for years would be destroyed!

That’s something he would never want to see!

Seeing no response from Shawn Lyle, Emily Lyle stopped crying, put down the phone, and sat beside him, saying, "Dad, do you know where Elliana is? I’ll go beg her, no matter what, I can’t let dad’s reputation be damaged."

The sincerity of her words made Shawn Lyle’s heart ache, and at the same time, he resented Elliana even more for being such an ungrateful daughter!

He waved his hand, saying, "It’s alright, I know you’re sensible, but dad has his ways, you don’t need to worry about these things, dad’s already wronged you enough over the years, how could I let you beg that wretch?"

"Dad, it’s understandable for sister to be angry. I think it’s better if I leave, I don’t want to cause more trouble for dad."

What Emily Lyle said now reflected her true feelings. She really didn’t want to cause more trouble for Shawn Lyle. She had originally planned to go to North City, but this sudden change of events made her reconsider.

She also knew that as long as she kept reminding Shawn Lyle of her virtues, it would be much better than fighting with Elliana.

"No way! You will live here from now on, you’re part of the Lyle Family. Once dad’s face is better, I’ll take you to the old house to meet your grandmother."

This meant he’d let Emily Lyle acknowledge her roots and ancestry.

"Dad..." Emily Lyle was even more moved upon hearing this, and she began to waver. Instead of struggling out there on her own, why not stay by her father’s side?

She immediately chose the latter.

Though she remembered her grandmother’s warnings, now that her father’s first wife was dead, it didn’t count as breaking up another family.

In the future, this would not only be Elliana’s home, but also hers!

"Dad, take good rest, getting angry is bad for your health."

"Hmm." At this moment, Shawn Lyle also wanted some peace, so he said, "Get on with your things, don’t worry about what’s outside, daddy’s going to take a nap."

Closing the door, Emily Lyle exhaled a deep breath.

She had an excellent memory and had already memorized Elliana’s phone number, and she had things to discuss with Elliana.

Returning to her room, she dialed the number, "Hello, sis, it’s me, Emily."

Beep―――!

The call was instantly disconnected, leaving her feeling embarrassed and humiliated!

But she had something important to say, she couldn’t just let it go!

When she called a second time, it couldn’t get through; clearly, Elliana had blocked her!

"What’s so high and mighty!" She threw the phone onto the down duvet! Filled with rage, she was trembling all over.

Elliana took her 2 million bank card, originally she thought Elliana would give the card to dad, but clearly, Elliana didn’t!

This 2 million was saved by her bit by bit, and was Shawn Lyle’s monthly support payment to her!

But now it was in Elliana’s hands, she didn’t know how much Elliana had spent, she just hoped to get back a little.

But Elliana had already blocked her, getting it back was even harder!

Suddenly!

She thought of WeChat, the phone number should be able to add WeChat!

Hastily picking up the phone from the bed, with a try-it-out attitude, she input the number, and indeed found a person named Cat.

This time she was wise enough to write directly why she wanted to add as a friend.

"Sister, I want to get the bank card back, is that ok?"

After sending it, she began to wait anxiously, pacing back and forth in the room with her phone in hand.

About five minutes later, Elliana replied, but still hadn’t accepted her friend request.

Cat replied: "I’ll have someone send it to you."

Upon seeing this, she applied once again for her as a friend: "Sister, can we meet? I’m begging you, I have something I want to discuss with you, I’m begging you, I will explain properly."

Cat accepted your friend request, now you can start chatting.

Cat: "No need to meet, I’ll give you one chance, clear it up now."

Ephemeral Flower: "Sister, I really have something I want to say in person, please let me see you, sis you really misunderstood me."

After sending this message, she waited apprehensively, based on previous interactions, Elliana was someone who tended to soften easily.

As long as they could meet, she could plead for something, which would relieve dad from difficulties as well.

Perhaps, they could get along well from then on, support each other, and become a real family.

A few minutes later, a message popped up in the chat box.

Cat: "Come on your own, surely you know the place, you’d better hurry, or I won’t see anyone later."

Ephemeral Flower: "Okay, I’m coming right away."

Getting Elliana’s consent, her mood visibly relaxed, although she felt the message wasn’t something Elliana would send, but regardless, it was an agreement.

In a hurry, she skipped dressing up further, put on her shoes, and directly left the Lyle Family’s main gate.

What Emily Lyle didn’t notice was that she had become increasingly greedy, perhaps because of Shawn Lyle’s sudden attention, or her grandmother’s advice didn’t matter anymore.

She now began to want to take a gamble and wanted more and more.

These thoughts perhaps stemmed from that phone call with Shawn Lyle, or maybe this was an idea she had all along.

All it needed was a trigger.
