Chapter 77: Do you need help?
Initially, Edwin and his wife, Cathy, wanted to go for their sixteenth anniversary holiday after Lily finished her June exams, but Lily had been giving them silent treatment since her birthday. Her mother didn’t want to leave while her daughter wasn’t on speaking terms with them. They tried to reason with her to no avail.
Lily told her father that she wanted a private jet as well. Her father indicated to his daughter that they were not as rich as the Martins family, but he promised to buy her a luxury car.
Lily was fuming and replied, “I don’t want a useless father like you. I want to stay with Aunt Elizabeth. Why don’t you ask her to buy me a private jet? Why is Avery so lucky to have everything while I have nothing?
She stole my Godmother, and she was given lots of cars and houses, but I didn’t get anything. I will never speak to you again until you buy me a private jet.”
Her father was livid; he went to his daughter’s bedroom and started packing her clothes in the suitcases and bags. He chased her out of the house and said, “Since in your eyes I am a useless father, please go and stay with Elizabeth. The Parker family doesn’t have a daughter like you. You are such a disgrace.”
Mr Parker dragged his daughter outside the gate. Then he asked his wife to help him with the suitcases. Her mother was crying but she didn’t stop her husband. He was teaching their daughter a lesson.
Mrs Parker looked at their daughter with tears in her eyes and said, “Sweetheart, apologize to your father.” Lily pouted her mouth and ignored her mother. She didn’t even feel sad when she saw her mother crying.
Her father called a cab. A few minutes later, it arrived. He gave the cab driver the address and a lot of money. He took his wife in his arms, then he locked the gates. He walked to his mansion without turning back and closed the door.
Lily started to panic; her aunt told her that if she threatened her parents, they would buy her a private jet. However, it didn’t go as planned. She was proud to ask for forgiveness. The cab driver helped her with her suitcases and put them into the boot. A few minutes later, she left her home.
Cathy cried sorrowfully when she saw her beloved daughter leaving home without turning back. She thought she would apologize to her father, but it was her wishful thinking. Her husband hugged her tightly, and then he told her that they would be leaving the following day.
Elizabeth overhead Avery telling Bridgette that she would ask her father to take her to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower, then she quickly bought the holiday package for her brother and her sister-in-law.
Unbeknownst to her, her husband would buy Avery a private jet on her fourteenth birthday and take everyone to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower. She wasted a lot of money for nothing. She wished she could get back the gift she bought for them.
Also, she wanted to embarrass her daughter during her birthday lunch and to show everyone that she didn’t care about her. However, Avery was not embarrassed at all; she took her as a surrogate mother. Avery’s words hurt her deeply, but she remained expressionless in front of everyone.
She vented her anger at her brother and asked Lily to demand a private jet from her parents. She was still holding a grudge against them for giving her silent treatment for eight years.
She wanted to sow a discord between Lily and her parents. She was so happy when she heard that there was no peace in the Parker family.
At the Martins Group, Mr Martins received a call from his brother-in-law, Edwin Parker, “Hello brother-in-law, I hope you are well. In a fit of anger, I chased Lily out of my house.
Elizabeth had corrupted my daughter; she was demanding a private jet from us. She told me that she doesn’t want a useless father like me. Don’t allow her to hurt my niece, brother-in-law.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Mr Martins was shocked to hear his brother in law’s words and replied, “Don’t worry, brother-in-law. Let her stay with us if she wants to. No one will be able to hurt my daughter without her permission. When are you leaving?”
His brother-in-law indicated that they were leaving tomorrow morning, and they would be back after two weeks. Mr Martins wished them a safe journey, and then they hung up.
When Mr Martins arrived home from work, he wasn’t surprised to see his wife sitting with Lily in the living room. He greeted Lily and asked, “How are your parents? Did you let them know that you’d arrived safely?”
Elizabeth replied before her niece, “August, leave the child alone. What do you take me for? I have already told her parents that she arrived safely.” Elizabeth was lying through her teeth. She told her niece not to speak with her parents until they fetched her.
At that moment, her husband received a call from her brother-in-law. He put his phone on speaker and said, “Hello brother-in-law.” Edwin replied, “Hello brother-in-law, are you at home? Did Lily arrive safely?”
August looked at his wife and replied, “I have just arrived home and your sister told me that she had already notified you. Lily is watching television with her aunt.” Then he walked to the lift and pressed the second-floor button.
Outside her daughter’s room there were suitcases. He knocked on the door, and then Avery opened the door smiling. She greeted her father with respect. When she saw the suitcases outside her door, she looked at her father with questioning eyes and asked, “Daddy, are you going away?”
Her father laughed and replied, “No, if I’m not mistaken, the suitcases belong to Lily. She is in the living room with her aunt. She asked her father to buy her a private jet, and then her father chased her out of the house.” Avery felt sorry for his beloved uncle to have a daughter like Lily.
Avery had stopped eating in the dining room because she didn’t want to see people she didn’t like. Since Lily’s suitcases were outside her bedroom, she decided to join them for dinner. She asked Aunt Bridgette to accompany her to the dining room.
Avery greeted Lily with a smile, but Lily looked at her with disdain in her eyes. She just ignored her. During dinner, Mrs Martins looked at Avery and said, “From today onwards you will sleep with your nanny and Lily will sleep in your bedroom. Please ensure that you remove all your clothes from the closet.”
Her father wanted to say something, but Avery winked at him. A few minutes later, Avery excused herself. She walked towards the lift at a snail’s pace, and then she pressed the second-floor button.
When she arrived in her room, she decided to take a shower. She wiped her hair with a towel, and then she wore her pajamas. Afterwards, she sat on the bed and read her novel.
At that moment, her boyfriend, Jordan Bennet, called her. She smiled brightly and said, “Hello my love, are you well?” Jordan told her that he was just checking on her and to let her know that he would not be able to see her on Saturday because he would be preparing for exams. Then they hung up.
Avery had agreed to be Jordan’s girlfriend on her birthday. She was head over heels in love with him. Aunt Bridgette entered Avery’s bedroom and sighed when she saw the smile on her face.
It was clear that she was speaking with her boyfriend. She sat on the sofa and said, “Aunt Elizabeth will be here any moment, she was behind me. Do you need help?”
