He was no longer hiding his anger. His eyes became hard and cold, and his anger was very evident on his face. After all, he had been in the business world for many years. He didn't find it funny to be talked to in this manner by his young niece.

Matthew, on the other hand, felt a cold sweat breaking out on his back. He was more disappointed in Lilah than ever. He lowered his voice and said to her angrily, “Lilah, stop causing trouble for the company. Apologize immediately!"

He put his hand on Lilah's shoulder and tried to get her to kneel down.

But Lilah reacted quickly and ducked out of his reach.

She looked at him with contempt, and Matthew's face immediately turned red with rage. "Do you want to destroy the company that your grandfather put a lot of effort into building?" he asked her through gritted teeth.

“Didn't you all but destroy the company long ago? If I were you, I would hide my face and not say anything," Lilah shot back disdainfully.

"Well, well, well." Onyx chuckled, giving her a mock applause. “It seems young people nowadays are very courageous. Well, we'll wait and see what your courage will get you."

Clearly, he meant that he was going to do something to the Phillips Group as revenge. This made Matthew very scared and worried.

Marlene, on her part, was angry. She couldn't believe that Lilah had still not apologized. But when she imagined how Lilah would end up in a much worse situation, she couldn't help but smile to herself.

She was sure that it was just a matter of time before Lilah would regret her actions.

When they finally stood up and were about to leave, Lilah's cold voice suddenly said, "Hey, wait. Are you guys just going to leave?

I haven't even had the chance to ask Marlene to apologize to me yet."

They had called her to scold her, and now, they just wanted to leave?

Did they think she was a pushover? Lilah sneered.

Marlene and Onyx kept quiet, but their anger was shining in their eyes. Unable to suppress her emotions anymore, Marlene immediately shouted, "Lilah, are you crazy? You slapped me, and you want me to apologize to you?"

But Lance quickly calmed her down, saying, “It's all right. Don't waste your time talking to such a brainless woman."

"Oh? Well, I don't know if Gerard will be angry if he finds out that his child was publicly called a bastard by someone," Lilah murmured as she sat on the chair, leisurely cleaning her nails. She almost felt like a villain in a play.

Seeing the expressions on their faces after she made this statement made her feel very good.

Lance and Onyx didn't know exactly what she meant, but her mention of the name Gerard made them turn to look at Marlene.

Marlene's face went pale.

That child was Gerard's?

Of course, Marlene knew who Gerard was.

He was the richest man in Eleywood and the head of the Harris family.

He was also the man who contributed the most to Eleywood's economic development.
