So, it was really not Lilah who hit her? Suddenly, Karol felt ashamed. With a blush of embarrassment, she waved them away without saying anything.

When she turned to look at Lilah, she saw a faint smile on her face.

"I misunderstood you, but why didn't you explain properly?" she asked in a displeased tone.

Karol wondered if Lilah deliberately did this to embarrass her.

“I've been saying that I didn't do it. Why didn't you believe me?"

Lilah retorted.

“Miss Morris, it seems you have to now apologize to my girlfriend,”

Gerard said condescendingly.

Karol gritted her teeth in displeasure when she heard this.

As a member of the Morris family, she had never been humiliated Like this before.

But nevertheless, she decided to be reasonable. "Sorry, Miss Phillips, I misunderstood," she apologized.

"It's okay. At least, the misunderstanding has been cleared up.

Anyway, as you have seen, it's not good to be overconfident,” Lilah admonished.

Karol said nothing in response. She simply walked away.

As Lilah watched her leave, she couldn't help but ask Gerard curiously, "Why were you with her?"

"I just happened to meet her. Her family has business in Eleywood too," Gerard said.

"Oh. Is she the daughter of Absolon then?" Lilah asked. But then, she suddenly remembered that Absolon was unmarried.

“Adopted daughter," Gerard clarified.

"Oh, okay," Lilah nodded in understanding.

No wonder Karol was so arrogant and confident. She was a member of the Morris family, after all. But Karol was overestimating herself.

At this point, the manager came over and said something to Gerard, as if there was an urgent matter. When Lilah saw this, she said to him, “Just go ahead with your work. I'm going to the family meeting now.

"Okay, I'll bring Jerrold there later," Gerard promised.

The meeting of the Phillips family members was held at Onyx's mansion.

Almost all the members of the family were in attendance.
