Chapter 206 - 206: Fated (1/2)

”Meeting adjourned!” Lillie had heard enough. There is no more need for further discussions. The board of directors knew exactly what to do.

Oh, don't misunderstand. It's true that the situation is tricky, but it does not need White Bird's help.

Most of the Elders real identities are well-known.

Lan Wucheng is known by the country as the flirtatious young master of the Lan family that owns hundreds of casinos world wide.

Song Mo Kun's family produces world-renowned surgeons. Though he did not take the medical field, he became an amazing businessman and created a one of the biggest automotive company.

Despite growing up as orphans, Cyrus and Cyra became the owners of one the world's biggest technology company.

Feng Chunhua is the lady boss of a club that only the rich can get in because of its extreme price.

As for An Xiuling, she's the owner of a high-end jewelry store that every filthy rich people go to pick their jewelries. She owns hundreds of mines in many parts of the world.

However, she remains hidden to not catch the An family's attention.

If they knew that she's actually wealthier than them, they would do anything to have it.

In this room, An Xiuling is the second richest—Lillie being the first.

Each Elders' connections and influence in the human realm is vast. They could handle this situation in a clean and legal manner.

And with a world renowned lawyer, Jessica Houston on their side, this unjust act will go down smoothly in their favor.

What Lillie Bai hate the most are thieves.

Since you dare go against the She-Devil, you only have yourself to blame.

The Elders silently lit candles for those unfortunate soul.

Lillie and Father Bai were left inside the room.

”Dad.” Lillie faced her silent father. ”Give this matter to me.”

”Little flower ah. I know you are capable, but you should know that I can also handle this. I've faced worst when I was starting with the empire, and faced a lot shameless people like them. Unfortunately, your father have poor eyes and choose the wrong people to trust.” Father sighed, his face showing signs of aging. Lillie Bai's father, who looked much younger than his real age, suddenly became an old man.

Lillie's heart ached for her doting father.

The man who shook the business world in his youth, the man who was known for having a temperament of a tiger, was showing his helpless side to his daughter.

”I'm getting old, Lillie. I'm no longer in my prime. I'm now just the shell of my former self.”

”Dad...indeed you are getting old, but you are not growing weak. This predicament, let me handle it.” She softly said. ”Mom would be waiting for you at home. How about you take a short break and spend time together with her?”

Father Bai hummed. Remembering his wonderful wife, his face relaxed.

”Alright. I'll take you up with that offer.” Father Bai can only agree. His daughter has both his and his wife's stubbornness. Denying her is futile.

”You shouldn't let stress overcome you. What would mom say if he saw his dashing husband having wrinkles?” She teased.

”I don't have wrinkles!”

”That's not what I see, old man.”

”Girl, you dare treat your doting father like this?” Father Bai scolded his daughter but his tone held a hint of humor.

He knew his daughter was trying to lift his mood. Lillie have always been a serious person. Many thought she's humorless—though they are not wrong—but she still tried.

Suddenly, Father Bai's eyes shifted at the shiny thing on his daughter's hand.

”That punk finally gave you a ring I see.”

At the mention of her ring, Lillie instinctively looked down on it.

”En.” She uttered with a smile.
