Avenger's coming back

Chapter 180 I Did It On Purpose

After chatting with each other for a while, Lily hung up the phone reluctantly with a sweet smile on her lips.

She put away her phone and was about to turn around to enter the room, but when she turned around, she was shocked by the person behind her. She took a few steps back before she could stand firm.

When she saw clearly who it was, she frowned unhappily and said in a somewhat heavy tone, "Mr. Frank, don't you know it's wrong to frighten people behind?"

Frank looked at her with a sneer, "I'm standing here aboveboard. It's you who are too focused on your little lover on the phone and don't notice my existence."

"It's my wrong, isn't it?" Lily also sneered. Her intuition told her that Frank was here for revenge, because she had accidentally told about his so-called distant cousin.

"Ha ha." Looking at Lily with a smile, Frank said sarcastically, "Don't you know where Eric is? Look at you two chatting happily. Don't you know where he is?"

"Do I have to know his whereabouts to have a good chat with him?" Lily asked with a smile.

"You..." Frank was speechless. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Lily, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent now."

"Not bad." Lily wasn't modest at all. "People are too honest and obedient. They will only be bullied to death. So, occasionally you can be sharp tongued and show your little teeth. It's good to tell others that I'm not easy to bully."

Thinking of the death of such a coward in her previous life, Lily couldn't help but want to slap him. Of course, this was not reasonable. The gap between men and women was too big, and she was not stupid enough to really slap him.

"I didn't expect you to hide so deeply. I really underestimated you." Frank sneered, "Lily, you really impress me."

"You too." Lily retorted, "In front of people, you are the eldest son of the Gu family, with infinite glory. In front of your parents, you are a good son, filial and sensible, but what about secretly?"

The more she said, the more sarcastic she looked at Frank. "Distant cousin? Well, Mr. Frank, how do you feel to be with your cousin?"

"You..." Frank laughed in anger, "I knew you told us on purpose that I was with another woman in the mall today."

"I did it on purpose." Lily admitted frankly, "But you said she was your cousin. I don't think it's a big deal to tell her. After all, she is your relative. Since she is your relative, why can't you tell her?"

"Wow." Frank shook his head repeatedly, "Lily, I didn't expect you to be so scheming to hide yourself so well. You know that she is not my cousin, but you still said it in front of my parents. Don't you want to expose me on the spot?"

"Well, Mr. Frank, I didn't say that she is not your cousin." Lily looked very calm. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a figure standing behind the stone pillar not far away. It was Claire.

A smile appeared on her lips, as if she didn't notice her existence. She raised her voice deliberately. "You said it yourself. I simply think it is your 'cousin'."

She stressed the two words "cousin".

"Yes, it's me. She's not my cousin." Frank gritted his teeth, "So what? They all believe me, don't they? Lily, don't think that your plan of sowing discord will succeed. They will find out your true colors one day."

Lily blinked innocently, "I always show my true face to others. Do you think I look like you? One in front and one behind?"

"You..." As soon as Frank opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Lily. "Mr. Frank, as a man, if you dare to love or hate someone, if you like that woman outside but don't like Claire, just tell her not to hang on to her all the time. It's unfair to her. But if you two date at the same time, you will fall out one day."

As soon as she finished her words, she subconsciously glanced at the direction of Claire. She shook her body, probably because she was angry.

Frank's face turned red and pale. He clenched his fists, but he didn't dare to do it. After all, he was in the Qiao family, so he had to hold back his anger.

"Lily, I warn you. Don't talk nonsense in front of Claire. If she knows it, I won't be polite to you."

"Mr. Frank..." The voice was not from Lily, but from Eden. He walked out of the dark calmly, with his hands in his trouser pockets, and looked at Frank indifferently.

"You are the first one to threaten the Qiao family. Do you have the self-awareness as a guest?"

Lily looked at Eden in surprise. Just now, she only noticed Claire, but she didn't expect that Eden was also here.

At the sight of Eden, Frank was stunned. His anger and arrogance had already dissipated, but he felt a sense of guilt in his heart. "Eden, why are you here?"

"Mr. Frank, this is the Qiao family's old house. Why am I here?" Eden asked with a faint smile. He looked gentle, but it gave people a sense of oppression.

Frank frowned with chagrin, but he was more worried that whether he had heard what Lily said just now.

Eden walked to Lily and stood beside her. He took one hand out of his trouser pocket and gently stroked her head with affection. "Are you scared?"

Looking up at him, Lily felt warm in her heart, and an indescribable feeling filled her heart. She hadn't contacted Eden for a long time, and suddenly found that he seemed to have changed a lot, and the way he looked at her… He doted on her so much!

What's more, his action made her feel a little flattered. She even had an illusion that her brother was protecting her sister from being bullied.

Lily shook her head and answered, "No."

Well, it felt good to be protected.

"That's good." As soon as his words faded away, Eden looked at Frank, who was still in a daze, as if he had seen through his mind. "Not only I heard what you said just now, but also Claire."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at Claire in the dark, "Come out. Don't you feel uncomfortable being angry alone there?"

Frank was dumbfounded. He turned around and looked in the direction Eden was looking at.

Biting her lower lip, Claire walked out angrily, staring at Frank and coming over step by step.

"Claire..." Frank came to his senses and called her name weakly, but he didn't know what to say next.

"Frank, didn't you say that she is your distant cousin?" Claire looked at him with tears in her eyes. Although she knew he was lying when she asked him about it, he didn't admit it in person. Instead, she

could deceive herself that it was really his cousin. But when she heard the truth from him in person, she felt as if her heart was cut by a knife.

"I… I know it's my fault." Frank explained with a gleam in his eyes, "But this is what I need. You know, sometimes I have to attend social engagements..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Claire. "You didn't go to any party. How could you go to a social engagement? Besides, do you need to go to the mall with her?"

This time, she was really angry and raised her voice. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Claire, don't be angry. Let me explain." Frank was at a loss.

"Explain? Explain? How do you want to explain?" She was so angry that she couldn't think so much. "Don't tell me that you are in a social engagement. You are the young master of the Gu family anyway. In social engagement, it is always someone else to flatter you. Oh, I see… You can't stand the temptation. In order to please you, someone gave you a woman and you fell in love with her."

"No, it's not like that. Claire, calm down." Frank tried to comfort her, "Calm down and listen to me, okay? I really have my own difficulties."

"You have your own difficulties, don't you? Okay, go ahead. I'm listening." Claire stared at him with red eyes, waiting for his so-called difficulties.

Seeing that she calmed down, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at her with a bitter look and said, "Claire, you are only fourteen years old now. There are some things that I don't want to tell you so early, but now I have to tell you. I'm twenty-one years old this year. I'm a normal man, and I can't touch you in some ways. I can only rely on women outside to solve them."

"You..." After all, she was an inexperienced girl. Claire blushed. Although she was young, she knew what those so-called needs were. "But But you shouldn't have gone to find another woman!"

"If I don't find another woman, Claire, what do you want me to do?" Frank asked gently.

"Can't you bear it?" Claire bit her lower lip and asked.

"Once a man has an impulse, he can't control himself most of the time." Frank implored, "Claire, don't be angry. Forgive me, okay? I promise I won't go out to look for her again!"

"Unless you cut off all contact with that woman!" Claire looked at Frank with softened eyes

"Okay, okay. I promise you that I will cut off all contact with her immediately. Such a thing will never happen a second time." Frank said confidently.

"Besides, no matter what happens in the future, You have to endure it!" After all, Claire was a little shy. Speaking of this, she blushed.

"Okay, I'll bear it!" Frank agreed without hesitation. Then he changed the subject and asked, "Claire, can you forgive me now?"

"Cut off contact with other women first." After saying that, she took a look at Frank. Then she turned around and left. But before leaving, she glared at Lily.
