Avenger's coming back novel Chapter 116

Lily stayed up all night for worrying about what happened to Eric. She was dressed up in the early morning and waited for Joe in the living room.

However, before Joe came down, two people, Dillon and Lucia, came.

The color drained from Dillon's face. He was still holding the morning newspaper. Beside him, there was a gloating look on Lucia's face. At the same time, Sunny behind them was worried.

Lily knew that they would come sooner or later. But she didn't expect that they would meet this morning.

"Dad, aunt," She greeted out of politeness.

"Look what you have done!" Dillon threw the newspaper in Lily's face. "It's headline again. You're really a good daughter!"

Lily subconsciously turned her head to avoid the paper hitting her, but she still failed. Fortunately, the newspaper was soft and it didn't scratch her face.

There was a flash of disgust in her eyes. She did not pay attention to him, but picked up the newspaper and read. This time was even more excessive.

What went too far was not the picture on it, but the headline: two people are so passionate that they leave hand in hand.

The picture of Eric leaving with Kevin in his arms was ambiguous, and the headline was more ambiguous.

No wonder that Dillon was so angry. Lily coldly curved her lips, put down the newspaper, and lowered his head to not look at Dillon and Lucia. She didn't say anything either, as if bowing her head to apologize.

"Your news has hit the headlines for two consecutive days. How could the Qiao family gain a foothold in the Guan city?" Dillon said again, "If you mess up the cooperation with AF Company, I'll hit you!"

"Dillon, calm down first." Lucia, who was standing beside them, comforted them and patted on Dillon's arm. Then she turned to look at Lily.

"Lily, I'm sorry for what happened this time. I didn't do my job well. But you are a mature girl. How could you do such a thing? Do you know how those people outside think of the Qiao family? What if AF Company gave up the cooperation with the Qiao family because of the pressure of public opinion? Have you thought about the consequences?"

Although her tone was not so questioning, and even gentle, every word she said was the blasting fuse.

Lily didn't say anything, because she knew that no matter what she said, they would blame her for that.

"Has she thought about this? Ah?" In a rage, Dillon continued, "Even if she cares for the Qiao family a little bit, she won't do such a thing!"

"Dillon, Lily is still young..."

"It's not a reason." Dillon interrupted Lucia and turned his head, glared at Lily and said, "Claire is younger than her. She is more considerate than her. As her sister, she is even less important than her sister..."

"I asked you to come here not to judge on anyone." At this time, Joe walked downstairs and interrupted him. He frowned slightly and looked at Dillon unhappily. "You, as a father, have a responsible."

"Father..." When Dillon was about to say something, Joe raised his hand to hint him to stop. Then he turned around, looked at Sunny who had been standing behind him and asked, "Is breakfast ready?"

"Yes, my Lord." Sunny replied with respect.

"Yes." Joe said yes, took a look at them and said, "Have breakfast, then we will go to the Gu family together."

After saying that, he turned to look at Lily, who was lowering her head. He said in a much softer tone, "Lily, go to have breakfast."

"I have no appetite." Lily looked up at Joe and said.

"I know what you're worrying about, but..." As if speaking, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes were attracted by the newspaper on the tea table.

When he saw the title and the pictures, he frowned, but then his mood relaxed, as if he hadn't seen them. "It's just a boring thing. Don't be affected by these things. Go have some food even if you have no appetite, or it's not good if you fall ill in the Gu family."

Finishing his words, he cast a glance at Lily's left hand, which was bandaged.

Lily saw Joe's behavior. The news about it was widely reported on the internet for two days, but he said nothing. Apparently, he was trying to defend her.

At last, they had breakfast together and set off for the Gu's house. Dillon drove with Lucia, and Joe and Lily in another car.

Daniel had been staying at home for recuperation since the car accident, and Joe had arranged another driver.

On the way to the hospital, Lily frowned tightly and didn't say a word. She was in a state of great fear. Yesterday, when looked at the newspaper with a scandal, Wayne punished Eric to lock him in the room. And today, this matter was exposed on the front page of the newspaper. She was afraid that it would make the situation worse and the punishment to him would be more severe.

When the car stopped in front of the gate of the Gu family's residence, Lily took a deep breath, adjusted her state of mind and then opened the door to get off.

"Don't worry. I'm here with you." Joe patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.

"Yes." Lily tilted her head to look at him and forced a smile. 'I were to be alive again, this would be the most nervous moment I've ever encountered.'

She had seen the temper of Wayne before, and neither Angela nor Richard liked her. In particular, they would probably pay all their attention to her when they met later.

That wasn't what she was worried about the most. What she worried the most was that according to Eric's stubborn character, in order to protect her, he would fall out with everyone in the Gu family!

Then, from the other car came out of the car, Dillon and Lucia came over and rang the doorbell.

The one who opened the door was a man in his early fifties. He dressed rather plainly.

"You are here. Lord has been waiting for you in the living room." Said the man.

"Please lead the way," Joe said politely. It was the first time for him to visit the Gu family.

"Come with me." After saying that, the man turned around and led the way for them.

Joe turned to look at Lily, took her hand and encouraged her. Then he took her hand and walked in, followed by Dillon and Lucia.

Lily was not unfamiliar with this place, even familiar. But at this moment, the atmosphere here made her shiver.

The further they walked in, the more depressed she felt, making her hard to breathe.

When they arrived at the living room, the atmosphere was even more depressing. In the middle of the sofa, there was a very bad expression on Wayne's face. When he saw them coming, his face darkened again.

On the right side sat the couple of Jade and Simon, on the left side sat the couple of Angela and Richard. Probably because Angela was too worried about Eric and didn't sleep well, Angela's dark circles were particularly obvious, and her face was a little pale.

"How calm you are, Mr. Joe." Seeing Joe coming in, Wayne said indifferently.

Joe was not surprised at his words. He seemed to have expected his tone and smiled, "Mr. Wayne, have you ever seen any waves? Are you worried about such a trifle?"

"Humph!" Wayne snorted softly, "I'm not worried, but the' good 'granddaughter you brought up really gives you glory, and even our Gu family got a little bit of light.'

He stressed on the word "good" in irony.

Standing in the living room, Joe kept smiling. "We are the elders of this family and we all have the responsibility, aren't we? The kids are young and restless. We failed to teach them well. It's our fault."

Hearing this, Wayne was stunned. Obviously, he was speechless. They hadn't guided Eric in this respect of love.

Lily, who was nervous just now, felt a little embarrassed when she heard the words. She slightly lowered her head. In this regard, it seemed that she had been misled Eric all the time.

Perhaps in a fit of anger, Wayne did not invite them to sit down, but asked them to stand up, looking straight at Joe, "Is this your attitude to apologize today?"

"Apologize?" Joe laughed again. "I didn't teach her well. The Qiao family did make a mistake, but not entirely in the Qiao family."

"How could this have happened if the shameless bitch hadn't seduced Eric?" Wayne glared at Lily angrily.

"Mr. Wayne, you are wrong." No matter how good his temper was, Joe couldn't hold it any longer. "The relationship between a man and a woman is the will of both sides. Moreover, I'm not here to listen to you to blame someone, but to discuss how to solve this problem, which is what we should solve most, right?"

With a snort, Wayne continued, "Now that the media is spreading rumors like wildfire, how are you going to solve it?"

"I want to know your opinion first." Joe called him respectfully.

"I have a way to deal with it." "I just want to know how you are going to handle it."

Wayne replied as if he was kicking a ball. However, Joe didn't show any odd expression on his face.

There were still many problems between them, but some people couldn't help but feel worried.

However, Jade and her husband didn't say anything. They were waiting to see what would happen next since this matter had nothing to do with them, Angela and her husband felt anxious, but they didn't say anything.

Dillon frowned, not knowing what the specific solution was. Last night, when he received a call from Joe, he only said that he would come to the Gu family today and discuss with them about how to deal with this matter, but he did not tell him the specific solution.

Lucia, who was standing beside him, swept her eyes between them as if she was observing them.
