My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 521 - Conclusion And Next Steps

Harold felt even more dizzy the more he thought about it.

He didn't know what had happened between Lilia and Alfred.

The man couldn't help feeling anxious, then he looked at Lilia with a serious gaze. "Since you've guessed this, what are you going to do? You're saying that we both better support Milia. What do you want to achieve?"

Lilia smiled mysteriously. "Didn't you tell Milia that you were going to follow the company's arrangements? Then, until the time comes, you won't have to do anything! This way, you shouldn't be doing too much work!"

Harold paused for a while and frowned.

He didn't know what Lilia was really thinking. He scratched his hair in annoyance and laughed at himself. "Do I look that useless to you?"

"Don't talk nonsense! If you are useless, do you think Albert will let you work in this place any longer?" She said, spitting a mad fact.

Harold narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean…?"

Lilia sneered and said, "He tried to use you to hold me back. Regardless of whether I was suspected of neglecting my previous job, as long as you came to this company, he knew that I wouldn't just walk out without considering your circumstance!"

Whether or not this speculation was true, there was no denying that when Harold heard Lilia's explanation, his heart suddenly stopped beating.

It turned out that he was really that useless!

He was nothing but a tool to restrain Lilia.

Harold's expression changed rapidly, his cheeks tinged with a touch of joy. "I... was really lucky to meet you."

"Hmm? Why do you suddenly look happy? Do you finally understand what it means to be friends now?"

Lilia brought him to his senses. Even though this matter had not been resolved, she had brought him out of his naiveness, and Harold's heart felt even better when he found out that Lilia deeply cared about him.

Harold coughed awkwardly. "In fact, no matter what happens, the only thing I can't understand right now is why Albert would suddenly target you!"

"I don't know either. But we'll find the reason sooner or later. There's no point thinking about it now. Like I said, we better follow their plan. I feel it's better if we watch him closely. Then, after making them feel that all the trouble is over, they will reveal their true intention,"

This was Lilia's most intuitive thought.

Harold nodded in agreement. Towards the end of the conversation, he was still nervously expressing his true thoughts, "If you really do what they want, I'm afraid your status and reputation in the industry might be affected."

Lilia's eyes were calm and there was no confusion in her face as she responded, "If this company wants to taint my reputation and status, they won't be able to do it. Not even if Albert himself personally comes to deal with it, he still won't beat me."

"So confident, huh?" Harold asked, and at the same time, there was appreciation in his eyes.

This woman he admired always carried herself with grace and her wits was simply unquestionable.

Lilia smiled. "It's not like I have any confidence, but I'm sure that even if Albert intends to target me, he won't be able to destroy the star of his own company, unless ... he has no plans to lead this company anymore!"

...

During the day, Lilia and Harold ate their lunch together. Right after one o'clock in the afternoon, she went to the University where Daniel studied.

In connection with the bankruptcy of the Pangestu family, Lilia had made it clear to her uncle Julius that she didn't want to know the condition of her former family.

However, of all the Pangestu family members, Daniel was the one who worried her the most.

Trisa's decades of selfish crimes had caused both extended families to fall in endless pain.

For her, the most innocent person that got harmed because of everything that had happened was Daniel.

Outside the university gate, Lilia was seen wearing black glasses while standing not far away.

She didn't know how the bankruptcy of the Pangestu family impacted her little brother.

About five minutes later, a tall figure quickly dashed out of the school gate.

Daniel was wearing a black cotton suit with trendy pants and travel shoes. It seemed like he hadn't changed much.

After a while, he looked around and was surprised to see Lilia's figure. He quickly ran over to her with a grin. "Big sis, why are you suddenly here?"

Daniel stood panting in front of Lilia. He was still the cheerful boy he always was. A pair of his tiny canines added a lot of childishness to it.

He looked bright and healthy, but Lilia was looking at him through the sunglasses and clearly read his eyes.

This kid was afraid that Lilia would be worried, so he tried his best to cover it up.

"I'm free today and I happen to be passing by here. Since we haven't seen each other for a long time, I want to see how you are!" Lilia was the same as usual, there was no strangeness, nor any hidden intention behind her tone. She just talked like most normal siblings would do.

Daniel scratched his hair as he smiled. "I'm good, I study hard every day."

Lilia could see through her brother's facade. After all, he was a strong and tough boy and had a high pride that made him reluctant to reveal his weaknesses.

"Do you have free time? Wanna hangout and drink coffee with me?" Lilia took off her sunglasses and invited him. Daniel seemed to hesitate a little, but he still nodded in agreement.

When the two siblings were walking through the sideroad towards the cafe across the street, Lilia asked inadvertently, "Are you busy? If there is something you have to do, you can come back another day."

"It's okay, I'm free today!" Daniel's answer looked a little forced.

Lilia raised her eyes and looked at him deeply. In order to ease the pain in their heart, the two of them entered the cafe one by one in silence.

"Sister, what would you like to drink? I'll buy it for you!" Daniel volunteered. He took a quick look at this coffee shop and found a round table by the window.

Lilia smiled and shook her head, tugging at his sleeve to pull him to the side of the table. "Actually, I rarely drink coffee, so I don't know what to order. I'll just order the same as yours."

"Oh, then how about an iced coffee latte?"

Daniel stood beside her, his tall figure looking manly.

Lilia glanced at him and whispered in a low voice, "Find us a seat and sit down."

"Alright."

Lilia then stood in front of the cashier counter and looked through the menu carefully. She was wearing dark glasses and the cashier waited politely behind the counter while constantly staring at her.

This beauty, the aura she emitted, even if she was wearing black glasses, it still couldn't shut out her grace in the slightest. It seemed that she was a supermodel!

After Lilia flipped through the menu and turned her gaze towards the curious cashier. She smiled and spoke softly, "Sorry if it's taking long, please give me 2 iced coffee lattes and a vegetable salad."

"Fine, please wait a moment."

When she pulled out her wallet about to pay, she suddenly heard a burst of evil laughter from behind.

"Oh, isn't he our former basketball captain, Daniel?"

When Lilia heard his tone, she naturally knew that that person didn't have a good intention!

Lilia stood in front of the counter and turned around. Looking at the table by the window, three young men of the same height and in good clothes stood in front of Daniel and talked to him in a loud voice.

One of them placed his hand on the edge of the table while staring at Daniel's movements. Lilia narrowed her eyes at the humiliating gaze and mockery the three showed towards Daniel.

Daniel's gaze was blocked by them, he didn't realize that Lilia had been watching from afar.

His face was grim and his thick eyebrows tightened. Then he shouted coldly, "Go away! Don't come near me!"
