My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 55 - No Shortcut

"Good morning, Miss Lilia." Kenny immediately approached his client, "I've heard everything. Just leave this case to me." The man said in a serious tone while standing beside Lilia.

Lacy's face turned even paler upon witnessing this all. Daniel's big sister had predicted that her parents would complicate the situation and prepared a lawyer! If this case was actually brought to court and the lies were exposed, then…

Lacy jumped up from her chair and immediately knelt in front of her parents, "Father! Mother! Don't take this matter to court! This baby is not Daniel's child!"

Kenny's arrival was the last trigger for Lacy to confess.

Lacy's confession seemed to slap her parents in the face. Their daughter made it clear that the baby's father was not Daniel Pangestu. Even worse, her words indicated that the Iswara Family was trying to deceive the Pangestu Family.

While Freddy and Madel were still trying to process their daughter's words, Alfred got up from his chair. The young lecturer approached the desk and took out his cell phone. After pressing a few buttons, they could hear the recorded voice clearly.

"I will call the police and sue you in court!"

"This baby is not Daniel's child!"

Alfred recorded all their conversations from the beginning. Lilia smiled with satisfaction because she made the right decision by asking Alfred for help.

Meanwhile, Lacy's body who was still kneeling on the floor began to tremble violently. Her face was pale and looked as if she was about to pass out.

Her parents' expression was even worse. The two of them were so embarrassed that they didn't dare look up. All their arrogant attitude disappeared without a trace.

"Since the truth is clear, please don't cause trouble on campus again. This campus is a place to teach and educate young people and not to make a fuss like this." Alfred said coldly.

Hearing that, Freddy took turns glaring at Alfred and Lilia. The man repeatedly opened and closed his mouth as if he didn't know what to say. Finally, he gave up and pulled up from his seat. They hurried away without saying a word. They didn't even glance at their daughter who was still kneeling on the floor.

Seeing that, Lilia became worried that they would cross Lacy's name from the family card due to this incident. Lilia sighed and took out a box of tissues from her bag. She approached the female student, then bent down and held her arm.

"Can you stand up?" Asked Lilia.

Lacy stared wide-eyed at the older woman. With Lilia's help, she got up from the floor.

Alfred couldn't take his eyes off Lilia. The woman always managed to surprise him. Lilia didn't seem like someone who would sympathize with her enemy, but she turned back Alfred's belief. His chest was filled with a new feeling that couldn't be described. The feeling grew stronger the more Alfred got to know the woman. The man decided that he needed to get closer to Lilia so he could better understand her feelings.

Lilia used a tissue to wipe Lacy's face which was drenched in sweat and tears as she said, "A woman needs to learn to take care of themselves. Don't trust others too easily. Only you know what is best for you."

Even though Lilia didn't like Lacy for tricking her brother, the young woman reminded her of herself in the past. In the past, Lilia gave all her heart and trust to William, but all she got was heartache and disappointment.

Lacy looked at Lilia with teary eyes. There was no hatred or contempt in the older woman's words. There was only sincerity. Lacy was comforted by Lilia's kindness.

"...Yes." Lacy whispered before starting to sob. She regretted trying to trick Lilia. But her biggest regret was that she couldn't be with this awesome sister-in-law.

"Once again, I apologize for what Daniel did. This card is for you. Think of it as an apology from the Pangestu Family." Lilia put her credit card in Lacy's hand.

Lacy hurriedly shook her head and tried to return the card, "N-No! I was in the wrong, so…!"

However, Lilia just laughed and patted her shoulder, "It's okay, I want you to accept it. But if you have the opportunity, please return Daniel's card. I also don't mind you dating as long as that's what you want. For your parents…"

Lacy hurriedly interrupted Lilia's words, "I'll take care of them, so don't worry, Miss Lilia! Instead, I should apologize to you and Mr. Alfred for causing trouble!" The young woman bowed deeply, expressing her regret.

Alfred approached his student and asked her to look up, "Lacy, make today a lesson for you. Remember that there are no shortcuts to getting rich in this world." He said in a soft but firm tone.

Alfred's words reminded Lacy that even if Lilia had forgiven her, she still had a mistake. The student promised not to forget today's events and immediately went after her parents. After confirming that Lacy really left, Lilia let out a long sigh. She turned to Kenny with a big smile, "Kenny, thank you very much for your help today."

Kenny lost his serious expression and smiled back, "You're welcome, Miss Lilia. If you don't have anything else you need, I'll go back to the President first."

Lilia nodded, "Please convey my thanks to him too." Thinking of Jean made Lilia's expression soften.

As Kenny left the room, Lilia checked her watch and realized that it was almost time for lunch. She turned to Alfred, "Brother Alfred, thank you very much for your help. Can I treat you to lunch as a thank you?"

Alfred shook his head with a humble smile, "You're welcome, but I didn't do anything earlier. You're the one in charge, Lilia."
