Chapter 40
“I’m not wrong. Although Mr. Miller isn’t angry anymore, you caused us to lose the bid that we almost got.
“Thus, not only did you not contribute to our family, but you even caused harm to our interests. You must find a way to redeem yourself,” Belinda replied.
Lucas immediately agreed, “My mom is right. Skylink Corporation’s project is very important to our company. Thus, you must find a way to get it back.”
Jamie and even Lillian’s parents nodded. This caused Lillian to feel depressed.
“I don’t have a plan,” Lillian answered honestly.
Andrew only let her off because he thought she was the Supreme One’s wife, even chopping off his hand over it.
If he knew the truth, he would definitely not let her off. By that time, her life would be in danger, much less her having the chance to discuss the project.
Belinda said disdainfully, “Didn’t Mr. Miller like you a lot? Just sleep with him for a few more times. As long as you make him happy, the project will naturally be ours.”
Jamie nodded in approval. “She’s right. Since you already slept with Mr. Miller, you have to grab this opportunity. It would be best if you could give birth to his child.
“His only son is crippled. If you can manage to give birth to a son, he would be Mr. Miller’s descendant. Meanwhile, you’ll be the Shadowtiger’s mistress. You might even have the opportunity to meet the Supreme One through him.
“If you can get the Supreme One to like you, our family will definitely be able to climb up to the highest rung on the social ladder.”
Evelyn felt emotional after hearing that. She hurriedly grabbed Lillian’s hand. “Lillian, Jamie is right. You must find a way to give birth to a son. This will be good news for our family.”
Lillian sneered. “You guys are shameless. I’m a human being, not a tool for you guys to make money!”
Belinda was angered. “How dare you say that we’re shameless? Such audacity!”
“Am I not right? You guys don’t even think you’re wrong. It’s such a pitiful thing for me to have family members like you all,” Lillian replied mockingly.
“How dare you scold me?” Belinda slapped her.
Covering her face, Lillian didn’t cry but let out a bitter smile. She felt utterly disappointed by her family.
However, that was not the end of it. As Lillian’s father, not only did Ronan not speak up for her, but he even grabbed her neck. “When you said we’re shameless, does it also include me?”
Elijah’s expression darkened. “Lillian, you’re becoming more and more unreasonable. Ever since you met that troublemaker, you’ve become even more arrogant.
“You paid no heed to your elders and even scolded us. Are you trying to rebel?”
Jamie immediately suggested, “Dad, I think she’s no longer suitable to lead the company. Why don’t you let Lucas take over? He’s your only grandson, so he’ll need to take over the company sooner or later.”
Evelyn hurriedly shot that idea down. “No way. Lillian is doing just fine at her job. Why are you stripping her of her role?”
Evelyn was not saying that out of concern for her daughter but for herself.
After all, Lillian was still her daughter. With her daughter as the CEO, Evelyn would hold significant influence in the family. If Lucas took over the company, Evelyn’s status would plummet drastically.
“You have the nerve to ask why? She lost our opportunity to partner with Skylink Corporation. It’s just right that we stripped her of her role.” Belinda snorted.
“We can still get the project back. Mr. Miller likes her, so it’s easy for us to get it back,” Evelyn retorted proudly.
“That’s right. Only Lillian can get the project back. Go and find Mr. Miller again tomorrow. You must secure the project,” Ronan said while looking at Lillian.
“I won’t go,” Lillian shook her head and refused. Although the project was important, she wouldn’t sell her body over it.
“It’s not up to you. Detain her and send her to Mr. Miller,” Elijah ordered indifferently.
