Upon hearing Granny Lyndon's words, Lily shuddered i n despair.
William and the rest were gloating with excitement. They do not care about Lily's happiness. What truly matters is that they get to set up a new company with Trent's money.
Darryl chuckled at the on-going conversation.
"What are you laughing at?" Granny Lyndon asked angrily.
Darryl mocked, "I'm laughing at this family! The great Lyndon family can’t even manage their estate, yet they pushed the blame on a woman. What’s even more pathetic is that, for the alleged future of the Lyndons, you're willing to sacrifice even your granddaughter."
"Our family matters have nothing to do with you! Lily will only be happy with Trent, not with a loser like you!" rebuked Granny Lyndon.
Darryl took a deep breath, and continued, "Ultimately, you bunch are just upset that most of the Lyndon family shares are owned by other people. Just because you don’t have the competence, you sell the women in your family out in exchange for your dignity." 1 "You..."
Being called out by a loser in public, Granny Lyndon could take it no longer, she screamed, "Get him out! I want him out!"
No one dared to move forward. They still remember how Darryl beat Trent up the previous day. This live-i n son-in-law, he even dare hit Trent, who would dare t o offend him?
Lily tried to alleviate the situation, she tugged at Darryl's arm and plead, "Darryl, stop talking..."
The only solution Lily could come up with now is to beg for forgiveness from Granny Lyndon personally, after the meeting. If she's sincere enough, maybe Granny Lyndon might change her mind. It would only make matters worse if one were to collide head-on in public, like Darryl.
Darryl could understand Lily's thoughts. He brushed her hair, and said gently, "Don’t worry. You don’t have t o beg them for forgiveness. On the contrary, they will have to come to beg you instead."
